Hi Everyone!
This is my first thread, despite me lurking the forums for over a year! I decided to come out from hiding and show you guys my progress.
A brief history of my hair journey:
-My natural texture is 3C/4A – i think.
-I've been relaxed since I was 13, however I did unintentionally transition to natural when I was 17, but soon after I relaxed my hair again.
-The longest my hair has been is BSL - both when I was natural (before my first relaxer) and when I was relaxed (when I was 14).
-In July 2009 my hair was cut to Neck length.
-My last relaxer was end of Nov 09. I was heavily manipulating heat and using clip-on extensions, so I was not able to retain much growth. My hair was so limp and thin I couldn’t possibly wear it out by itself so I would wear the clip-ins, and became very dependent on them.
-I'm currently transitioning from Relaxed to Natural hair.
-In April 2010 I decided to cut heat out from my routine, since then I have only straightened my hair 3 times.
- I don't take any vitamins, I wash my hair once a week, co-wash once a week, air dry, and constantly wear protective styling.
- I plan to transition for 24months or until my natural hair reaches SL.
What I've noticed about LHCF members is how supportive everyone is, and I really appreciate being part of a community where women are encouraging and teaching each other.
I've lost a lot of my pictures from the early stages of my hair journey but July 09 my hair was above my shoulders - Neck length, and VERY very thin, and now, I think its APL length?
Dec 09 - Thin lifeless limp hair. Naturally 'W' shape but this pic doesn't show that.
March 2010 - No trim since July 09. Horrible Ends - looks thicker than what it was!
Sept 2010- Combed out dry bun
Sept 2010 - Back shot of Combed out dry bun - Much thicker than before
Oct 2010 - Natural W shape - APL???
