Due to my hair getting heat damage from a flat iron I didn't know how to properly use at the time (early 2008) and additional breakage from having protein overload for months, I had to BC. 
I cut off most of my hair in December 2008. My hair was damaged and I just couldn't take it anymore. I needed a fresh start.
My hair is healthy now, and I did get protein overload again, but I am back on track. My hair is layered so the front looks shorter than the back. I will gradually even it out.
I currently cannot post of pics of my bc because my pc crashed with those pics, but I do have the pics from when I braided my hair (yes, I've been braiding my own hair two decades)!
This pic shows how short my hair was after the bc:
Remnants of my bc:
Just getting started:
Almost done:
By the time I finished the front, I needed to do the back over.
Braiding your own hair is almost constant work; since I like my hair to always look like it was just done.
Done:
My new growth and progress: (April 2009)
This is my hair after taking out my dooky braids after a wash and dc (can't show my face in this pic
):
After my relaxer (July 2009):
September 2009:
November 2009:
Before touch-up:
After touch-up:
Yes, I saved the best for last!
I've learned alot on my hair journey; one thing is that my hair does not like protein.I plan to be BSL by next winter.
Stay blessed ya'll!
