Old pictures of your "Damaged Hair" (for motivation)

[NuBraveHeart]

i just fell in love with this forum all over again. i started this journey october 2008. i still haven't nailed down a regimen or found all my staple products, but i am still inspired. i am successfully texlaxing and trimming my relaxed ends away slowly. so i'm not seeing much length at this point, but i do feel that i am enjoying my hair more as it is thicker but more manageable than natural (i used to be natural in college and my goodness! broke a few of those "unbreakable" combs, know what i'm sayin...). but once i get all the relaxed ends off, i feel like there'll be no stopping my hair now that i am armed and educated from this site and you beautiful, wonderful women. thank you.

This is inspiring!!!! I don't have any pics of the "bad old days" But - I have an intense visual of when my hair started giving up on me.....

Here I was walkin around with ends lookin like fingers reachin out.. all because I was too afraid to get another trim... Sadly my ends are always getting like that no matter what because I used to be so bad w/ relaxers, but I shoulda known better than to be hanging on to that mess
That ish didn't even move and looked WORSE off camera...erplexed I wound up getting to APL this year only to realize it was only by like 5 strands of hair!

First of all, you ladies never cease to amaze me w/ this beautiful hair. I would love it if some of you (kiesha8185, caribgirl, dream13, cayenne0622 & adw25) would tell what you did to get your hair in the shape it's in now. Share, share share....
