Embracing the fluff for the first time :-)

[lovenharmony]

Well, I was supposed to be a long term transitioner but last Sunday (7/18/10) I took the plunge and did the BC! I couldn't stand looking at my scraggly relaxed ends any longer. On wash day, I took my trusty hair scissors that I bought years ago, let out a big sigh and started cutting.

I'm so glad that I did because not only does my hair look better, it feels better and is no longer breaking I've been transitioning for about 14 months. I now have enough natural hair to put into a cute afro puff and I couldn't be happier. The good thing is that I placed a pic on my facebook page of my new cut and I've had so much positive feedback from my family and friends...I wasn't expecting that!

I only have one pic uploaded of my new haircut so here it is...

I will upload more pics once I get home. Looks like I'm a thick, lush 4B! I'm excited to start growing out my hair the natural way! Thanks for viewing!

ETA: here's my other pics I promised. The first is my hair in a cute puff air dried with product. The rest are my hair wet sans product.

Don't worry...MANY Naturals suffer from HIH.

Especially right after the BC!

Congratulations!! Your hair looks fantastic!!

I know it's hard, but be careful with that HIH disease! I still have it six months after my BC and I'll tell ya it can cause some pretty nasty tangles if you're not careful!

Can't wait to see more pics!

 

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

Congratulations! LOVE your fluff!!

 

[lovenharmony]

Here are a few more pics of my natural hair Upon further inspection, I see that I have a definite curl pattern. I don't think I'm 4B, but 4A with a little bit of 3C thrown in there.

The first pic is my hair while dry, and picked out in a puff. the rest of the pics is my hair wet with no product. I'm in love with the curls and coils!

Very pretty, lovenharmony! Are you still using BKT, or is that all you?
