[goldensensation]

I cant wait to participate. I'll post a comparison shot after my next relaxer (hopefully by thanksgiving).

 

[sylver2]

WOW Sylver2!!! Your hair is beautiful! How long did it take for you to grow your hair from the short cut to your length now?

Hi Thank U)
I had that short cut back in early 1996.

The almost shoulder length cut in the 2nd pic was about 3-4 years ago.

Even I wasn't prepared for all of these drastic photos when I started this thread!!! WOW!!!!!!!!

 

[atrinibeauty]

This is the best thread EVER!!

This is my hair in November 2003. Fully relaxed bone straight (w/about 1/2 inch of newgrowth). My hair was between shoulder and apl when straight.

This is September 2006, almost 3 years later. Now fully natural and midback when stretched out.

BEAUUTIFFFFULLLLL Chica

Unfortunately my drastic comparison pics aren't happy ones. But I know I'll look back at them with a full head of hair.

Pic 1: Me when I first got to college in August 2004. Near shoulder length.


Pic 2: Me a year later in September 2005. Toxic water, bad hair practices and a scissor happy stylist left me with hair just above my ears, and the back of my head shaved.

 

[bablou00]

Wow!!!! This is why I love this site so much I can not wait to get to where you all are. Absolutely breath taking....EVERYONE!!!!

 

[reckgnyze]

SOME AMAZING PROGRESS LADIES!!!

 

[sylver2]

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.

WoWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your Hair!!!!! LOve it especially your siggy pic.

 

[Melaninme]

WoWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your Hair!!!!! LOve it especially your siggy pic.

Your hair is where I want mine to be NOW!!! What long, thick, lovliness it is. Beautiful!!!

 

[Melaninme]

Beautiful! I like your hair every way you have it. Are you a hair model?

Thank you. No, I'm not a hair model, but I have entertained the idea of becoming a stylist.

ETA:

I LOVE THIS THREAD!!! Thanks OP!

Keep up the GREAT work ladies!!!

 

[crlsweetie912]

All of the ladies who have posted have obviously taken the time to CARE for and nurture their hair! Congratulations to everybody on their success!

 

[erin558]

i was thinking about cutting my hair off because i hate the way its growing out ( uneven as all get out! ) but I guess with a lot of patience it will get to where i want it to be. its just in that inbetween growing out stage right now.

this thread made me feel a lot better.

 

[lsubabiedee]

Wow. That's pretty much all I can say.

here are mine. First pic was April 2004. Second was February 2006 and is of horrible quality b/c it was taken with my cell.

All I can do is and when I see your hair!!! I think you would make a GREAT stylist!!!

 

[lmjenk67]

I've spent the last 2 days going through the entire thread and I'm so glad I did. There are such beautiful, healthy heads of hair in this thread! I'm so inspired by all the natural heads who have gained awesome length. Great job, ladies of LHCF!!!

I'll post as soon as I figure out how to minimize/insert my photos
