Night & Day: DRASTIC Hair Changes (Not your ordinary comparison shots!)

[blueabyss333]

ETA: The whole point of this is that I remember CLEARLY when I cut my hair that short simply for "change" thinking "how in the hell am I going to grow this out???" At the time, I thought it would be impossible, or would take a lifetime. Sure, it's been 5 years, with other hair styles, cuts, and changes in between. I know a lot of women get discouraged about the "time" it takes to grow hair out and thinks it will take "forever". The time flies. It's possible And I think it's good to "show" that it is possible, especially for the newcomers.

I'll come back with my pics but I just wanted to say, you're such a sweetheart for doing this. Many of us do get frustrated with the time especially when we're counting seconds. One more thing, I would love to have your hair!

So1913 and Sareca!!!!! Can the two of you PM me your hair regimen's because I think that the two of you are my hair twins. I think my hair would fall somewhere in the middle of yours!!! Oh my gosh, you're hair is beautiful. You all are my inspiration! Sorry for hijackin but I had to call ya'll out!

I cut my hair chin length during the month of September 2005, because I wanted to wear my hair in a non-floppy afro. I achieved my goal, but missed my length terribly. As of August 2006, I've gotten that length back (prior to the cut) and more.

I had to pick my jaw up of the floor when I was these amazing curls!!!!!
All of you ladies are very inspirational!!Beautiful heads of hair.Wish there was a magazine of LHCF ladies before and after with regimens instead of all the worthless unbeweavable magazines that I see on the stands
