Thanks for sharing your pics! A lot of the relaxed pics look just as good as the natural pics.
Naturals that were once relaxed post up your pics of your relaxed days!

Thank you!
My normal hair color is dark brown but for the past 6 years, I have gotten highlights. I would usually get a few shades at one time, including light caramel, blonde and copper. I would only get them once a year though; I never kept/keep them up. (on purpose)
I think I have had my last go round with highlights though because I don't like how it makes my natural hair feel.
I wish I could find another alternative that would still deposit this type of color though.BB

i only remember my relaxed hair being healthy ONE time, and that was my senior year of HS. i was relaxed in middle school, after months of begging my mom for a Just for Me, and transitioned my 3rd year of college.
this is what i considered the "ultimate" in healthy hair...lmao oh boy, how confused i was
a few months later in college, i decided to cut...a month later i started getting professional color, then it got "too expensive" and i got box color (and damaged hair)
this is about a month after i took out the weave that took away all my progress and led to the cut that began my transition. i got great growth from it, but hadn't washed or moisturized my hair for 2 months. (EWWWW!) detangling took me from SL to NL. i was about 4 months post here.
11 months post right after a mini-chop, so a month before my BC. i thought i was doin somethin with those see-thru ends.
a few days before BCing...eww it was so dry and chewed up

My relaxed pics are so old, I have to get a scanner and go through some old photo albums. You guys are so lucky to have kept journals of your natural journey.

Pics from college days. I was a John Frieda Frizz Ease and Frizz Ease Relax line JUNKIE in those days 
That daily moisturizer from the Relax line was really great, though. I was so sad when they discontinued those products! I still have a bottle of the blow dry cream at my parents house -- can't bring myself to throw it away. When I go home I just sniff it a little and remember the good times, then put it back in the drawer
1. From junior year, a few months after I found RHC and LHCF
2. Freshman year, with a fairly fresh relaxer and cut
3. sophomore year, around thanksgiving
4. sophomore year, near the end of the school year
My relaxed hair was soooo flat all the time. Relaxers just work a little TOO much on my hair because it is so fine -- so glad to have volume now!

Here's my pics. Relaxed hair pics are from high school. My hair never made it past shoulder length until I started to transition. Since big chopping I don't think I've ever had the desire to relax again, I've wanted to wear my har straight hair but definitely not relax it.

Natural Hair: (disregard the fact that i need my eyebrows done in these pics lol)
