Post Your Before and After pictures

[hair-it-is]

Hello ladies, I see that alot of you ladies have experience beautiful growth on here. And I just would like to see where you ladies started from. Its alot of newbees who this would be an encouragement for (including myself). So if you guys dont mind please post some before and after pictures. I know I love to see thats it is possible to grow. Sometimes we get discourage and we need a little reality to guide us alone the way. Thanks

Before I started taking care of my hair (read my story), my hair was short and really damaged from underprocessing, overprocessing, no-lye perms causing film on my hair, damage from styling tools, you get the picture:

Then in April 2003 I started using the internet as a tool to get healthy hair. I started exercising, eating right, and using some decent hair care methods, but my hair was still short:

And then I found LHCF! Go team! I made it to bra-strap in fourteen months with the help of you all! I've cut my hair several times but it just keeps growing back to bsl, and now I am about 1 inch past the bottom of it. I haven't taken recent pics since Jan, though:

You can do it!

I am natural, I bc'd about a month ago and my last relaxer was maybe 3 months ago, but it's short ya know? I bc'd last year too but caved after about 6 months. At the time I was obsessed with showing length. This time I feel much more patient. I can drool over you guys hair this time without losing my focus. I feel inspired.

Thanks to the OP for starting this thread!
