I've uploaded the pics of BC up until 6 months.

I can't waitttttttt for it to be 1 year. Right now I try to not look at my hair or take pics because I'm getting real impatient.

I know my growth isn't much (it's only been 6months) but I've made some progress & hope that inspires you even though you've mostly likely got more hair than me, lol.

GOOD LUCK on your journey @lesedi and keep us updated

ETA: My BC anniversary is in 5 months too ahhhhhhh! lol. Checking this thread for more inspiration.

Ladies your pics are beautiful but my thanks button is still not working. Looking all good!

LOOL tell me about it.

I swear to God I hate my hair right now. This awkward stage is killing me and my family&friends are loving it right now

Nevertheless it's a cool experience. I've always wanted to start from scratch... duno why

My BC June 2010

August 2011

I've had 3 trims since my BC, the most recent of which was done right before the first August pic was taken.

 

[toiatoya]

big chop...



these days!!!

 

[toiatoya]

oh btw my bc was April first and the 2nd pic was a couple weeks ago.

 

[hair4romheaven]

Pics from siggy.
last set of pics are a 6 mnth comparison of my stretched fro.
ETA: I trimmed twice since my BC. 10/10 & 7/11.
Every time I look at my BC photos I laugh. It looks so busted. Its actually blow dried and I had it in a ponytail all day. I was able to pony after my 9 mnth transition on blown out hair.

 

[BostonMaria]

The attachment is my hair EXACTLY four years ago. I did the BC Sept 2007.

This is a picture of my hair taken in January (3 1/2 years after the BC). Please keep in mind that I had about 5 inches of hair when I BC'd.

 

[Sammie7]

I haven't posted in a million years, so bear with me. If you go to my photobucket don't judge me for those styles I wore back then lol. Those funky things got me to wear I am today, lawd.
Day of BC Dec 19, 2007. Yes I remember the exact day lol:

Texture pic of my tiny coils from April 2010:

Last time I blow dried/flat ironed in July 2011:

First Blow dry/Flat Iron in July 2011:

I have been natural for over 3.5 years now and the first time I used any heat was this May 2011, so we'll see how it goes. As you can see I still get a lot of shrinkage with flat ironed hair, because it is not bone straight, but that is fine with me as I like the fullness. I've been keeping it blowdried to help slow down these ssk's. I should have been WSL a long time ago, but these suckas don't play and I've had to trim a lot lol! All that to say I love my naps and I will spare yall the pics of my relaxed/ jacklaxed days as I was TOE-UP, chewed-up neck length lol.
