i would do that challenge, but my stylist does not like to braid hair, and i really can't wear wigs

WOWZA! Talk about progress!

It's amazing how damaging we are to our hair and then with a lil TLC and patience, you get a head full of new hair!

not to highjack the thread. I noticed your location. I am from New Orleans as well. What high school did you attend?

Actually, I spent my formative years in Alexandria then moved to Baton Rouge for college. However, I spent a great deal of time in New Orleans and know it like the back of my hand. So where did you go? McDonough 35, St Mary's, Xavier Prep, Benjamin Franklin, Douglas, etc. I could go on and on. Always nice to see a native Louisianan face.

Btw, your looks nice dear!

Don't cringe, it looks good now!

Great progress ladies! Ok, here are mine:

My BC (sort of. This is after my wedding. My hair was extremely damaged, so my stylist suggested I start over)

Hey, I went to a school called Gentilly Terrace once upon a time in another life time

This thread almost had me in TEARS - such wonderful progress and amazing hair recoveries... Simply wonderful! This one needs to be saved and shown to all the non-believers out there.

 

[Brownshugaz]

Thanks Whip! My best friend did my braids for me and she realized that my hair is now longer than how it was when I first cut it. I didn't even realize.

Hi, everybody.... This is an inspiring thread.... I'm a bit of a funk about my hair right now (partly because influential people in my life don't like the change)....

All of y'all are some pretty looking people with beautiful hair!

 

[Catina72]

And sometimes I say to myself "Don't go on LHCF today, get a life, clean the house..." and then So1913 starts a Beautiful thread like this. I am soooooo in awe, and proud of all these heads of healthy hair. :notworthy :Flahsssss Keep them coming ladies and thanks for sharing.

my hubby, HATED when I 1st cut my hair. He said I looked like Grace Jones in Boomerang . I was a lil hurt, but since I got it trimmed up nicely he likes it.
