Bumpin!! I wanna see more of you lovely ladies hair!!

 

[discodumpling]

Very inspirational ladies! So many amazing textures, lengths, growth rates I love the variety

BC April 1st 2007

I began to henna my hair monthly and my hair thrived

6 months later:

April 07 - April 08

In April 08 I decided to get rid of my hennaed ends. I wanted to see my natural hair colour before I started to go grey So I began to trim small amounts every 6 weeks or so.

November 08:

By February 09 I had chopped the last of my henna... Guess what? My natural colour is some kind of reddish/auburn/burgundy/brown...I coud have just left my henna alone!! LOL! Except the texture is much different and I like it much better.

February Flat Iron

On my way to APL by the end of the year; i've decided to not trim for the rest of the year & hope that my natural layers even out some.

[andromeda]

I'm:lovedrool: @ the in this thread!

This is my first pic post so it may come out wonky...My 1st pic was around 20 months, the next is 24 months with my son, and the last with my crew is 30 months.

This was my TWA. I had to scrounge for a pic 'cuz I thought it was atrocious. Strangely enough, my husband thought it was cool.

I know I'm late but your fro - good googly moogly!!!! And you looked gorgeous with your BC!

and this is from a blow-out in March, 09

It can sorta give a general idea, hopefully.

There are no words...

Big Chop

December 30, 2002

April ?, 2004 A year and almost a half later

Two years and four months after my big chop 4/?/2005

Gorgeous head of hair, QT! Love the thickness and sheen, esp in the last pic. And in that pic of your BC you look absolutely stunning!

 

[vivEz daNs lamouR]

Subscribing!!! This is such an inspiration

 

[Chameleonchick]

Wow this is an inspiration to want to transition longer than 12 to 15 months.

 

[PaleoChick]

This is so inspirational!!! I did a minor BC on January 1st (cut about 4 inches off) when I started wigging it-so that put me at my ear length all the way around. I am getting on this hair grind, so come 1/1/11 I can post my pics here.

 

[Victorian]

It's been a while since I dug through some of my old pics *feels nostalgic*
My last relaxer was in september of 2003. I transitioned for 1.5 years. These pics are from the first time I tried to straighten my natural hair (epic failure, but I've since gotten WAY better ) sept. 2005, about 6 months after I cut off the relaxed ends.

 

[balancegoals2009]

It's a joy to review all these beautiful natural hair , I am amaze with all of that growth. , I BC in july of this year and I will continue after review this post. Keep up ther goord work and thanks for sharing your picture.

 

[Netta1]

[Kirei]

Here is my contribution:

about 18 months of growth

this one is from june:

 

[melodies815]

I think someone wrote it previously, but it seems like it's a realistic expectation to go from a true TWA to APL-ish in 2 years.

That's very encouraging to see the pictures here and to know what I can expect of my hair at it's 2 year anniversary mark.

Great thread, Whimsy!!!

[**Glamourlicious**]

Beautiful hair ladies!

I can not wait until I reach the 2 year mark!

 

[SignatureBeauty]

WOW!!! Everyone on here have Gawgess Hair! This is very inspiring that we all can go from Twa to great lengths without doing drastic measures and growth poitions, and we all know what the secret is? Patience and keeping it simple.

We need to make this a sticky and let all the two year growers keep on posting those pics LOL!!

 

[SignatureBeauty]

BUMPING SO EVERYONE ELSE CAN SEE ALL THIS BEAUTIFUL NATURAL HAIR WITH ALL TEXTURES!

 

[chartys08]

I am slowly taking out my micro braids after 3 months, just finishing my 8 months transitioning and you ladies are making it so hard for me. Don't get me wrong all the pictures are beautiful but I am trying to transition for 12 months before I BC. It gives me hope to keep going.

A lot of beautiful hair, thanks for posting

 

[cottoncoily]

Subscribing. I can't wait to post my pics at the end of December.

 

[DDTexlaxed]

Subbing for inspiration. You ladies have gorgeous hair! I am so inspired to work towards it!
