Smeller of roses
Hi Ladies! I haven't been posting here in ages but I still have been lurking regularly. After being natural for 5 years I decided to try a texturizer. I have only had it a few days but I wanted to post about it for 2 reasons. One is that I wanted to add my experience to the pool of those with texturizers and be honest and up front about how it works out for me so as to be of some help to others. I was searching this site for info when I was making my decision and found it helpful and the posts very honest. The second reason is that I wanted to give a BIG recommendation to the lady who cut my hair. Her name is Tunithia K. and she works at the JC Penny salon at Southcenter in Seattle, WA. She did an outstanding job, I don't think I've ever had a better haircut. I wanted it shaped in an angular bob but it was difficult to achieve what I wanted because the front part of my hair does not grow very long (just above my forehead is my trouble spot). She hooked it up for me and spent like less than 5 minutes cutting. I got between 3-7 inches cut. I wanted a cut for so long but terrified of getting another dissappointment.
I had so much fun growing my hair out napptural and learned so much about it during that time. The longest my hair got was 16inches! My decision to texturize was really out of curiosity more than frustration with my hair. It is by no means necessarily a permanent thing. The most important thing I've learned while being natural is that no one need be locked into a hair routine due to lack of options.
I still have a vision of returning to a twa someday and this time I will have fun with it and not be obsessed with growing it out. I wanna dye it blue-violet!
Oh, of course I have pictures!

I probably could have achieved a similar look on my natural hair, but because my hair shrinks most at the top/crown area it would have required some sort of set or way to keep it from frizzing and shrinking. I doubt it would have lasted throughout the day. 
your hair looks lovely. You were one of my hair inspirations when I started lurking on the boards. I was wondered where you were. I checked for updates on your link and did not see photos. Glad your back and happy with the new look.
