My hair's ALL Natural!!!!!! I'm so excited :grin:

My last relaxer was on December 20th 2008 (18 months ago), this was my starting point (after a setback) ALL RELAXED:



And this is my hair 18 months later, ALL NATURAL:



I haven't done a length check, I'll do one soon.

I created a thread at 1 year post and I really shouldn't repeat it all here, but I'm gonna ;)

--

7 weeks after my last relaxer, after looking through multiple naturals' fotkis and some threads on, I made the decision to transition and I haven't looked back :grin:

7 weeks post relaxer:



21 weeks post:


Braidout:


28 weeks post:


Twistout:

34 weeks post:



34 weeks v 49 weeks comparison:



Wet v Blowdried hair @ 50 weeks (I didn’t get my new growth completely straight but this was straight enough for me):



I tried a ponytail rollerset on my 49 weeks post hair:



Not so straight new growth but I still liked it:



Braidout on Blowdried hair (I blow dry using the tension method, on the lowest heat setting and with a heat protectant. I wanted BIG hair and I got just that):




How I airdried most mornings (Thanks Shay72):



I was able to get my hair this straight just from airdrying (and laying edges down with a scarf):

I straightened at 59 weeks post, my hair in a banana clip:


A twistout at 61 weeks post:


Blowdried hair at 70 weeks post:

The chopping began on Thursday night, I chopped the back inch of my nape:


Then chopped a little more ;) :


On Friday night, I had a good enough excuse to *not* wait till Sunday :look: :lachen:

I can *just* get it all into a ponytail:


Before I snipped off the stray relaxed ends:



And after:


Then I put it all in braids for the night:


Woke up this morning and my hair was still damp so I combed it all out and did my 1st natural puff (this time round):


*I'd just like to warn you... I am going to try out a lot of styles on my hair for the next few weeks so expect threads from me :grin:*
