Great thread OP also you are gorgeous. I always think your bone structure is stunning.


Anywho, my BC was August 2009 my first year of college. I wore braids and was a hot mess so I bc'ed again after BUT I don't have those pics.
So yeah let's go with the original bc date :look:

The first is a pic'ed out fro. And the rest are twistouts. Stretched out as of today are the last two pics (don't shade me. I have the flu. I know I look tattuhed)


Thank you for this thread! i see my hair has grown and I'm gonna start taking more natural length and texture shots.

go for it! on second thoughts, wait a month at least,let your new DH have at least a month for him to run his fingers through your hair, damn!:lachen:
Poor man'll be like "so it's like this huh?:nono:"

He knows I'm going natural... I just haven't got around to explaining that I may be chopping off my hair lol.

The first pic is when I went to the barber for him to finish cutting all the relaxed ends I couldn't get. He picked, picked, picked and picked my fro out to reveal any sign of relaxed ends left.

The next pic is the day after where it's still wet from me experimenting with ecostyler gel for the first time.

Last pic was 3 weeks ago 8/15/11.
 
:look: 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:

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

First Blow dry/Flat Iron in July 2011:
SDC11302.jpg


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. :lol:


You're my inspiration!

Ugh there is hope for me. This thread has helped. To all that posted thanks everyone looks wonderful, I was seriously thinking about jumping ship... I'm 8 months post BC. Stuff like this keeps me motivated to keep trying with my natural hair.

Took the words outta my mouth I tend to jump ship by month 4 every time I've tried to transition. Im subbing this for the days I get frustrated.
 
Sammie7 - You have been added to my inspirational hair idol list! :love: I just finished looking through your hair album. That is great progress in 3.5 years! I wish I had not ever cut my hair throughout the 6 years I have been natural. Thank you for sharing your hair regimen! in this thread! :)
 
Not really my BC but the earliest shot I have of my natural hair. My hair especially my bangs still feels like it's not growing even with picture recording.

This was in October 2008 on a dry wash and go

Sometime in early 2010 wet freshly rinsed hair

My hair still shrinks up to this when I try shingling or doing a wash and go the only exception is when I use KCCC

I BC'd on the 22nd of march 2010. I'm past APL now and can tug on my own hair :yep:
The pictures are out of order. First pic is me in the process of trying to flatiron my hair yesterday.
2nd pic is the big chop. 3rd pic is the finished result of me trying to flatiron my hair (I'm really not good at it at all, probably because I'm afraid to use the correct amount of heat). 4th pic is a fluffed out shake n go, last month, with a little bit of Aubrey Organics B5 gel.
