Gorgeous hair!!!

I had a dream the other night that I was BSL and I was trying to keep my pressed hair from getting into my dinner. That won't be reality for at least another year.

My progress went in reverse for a while since I did mini chops as I transition to natural. I still have at least one mini chop left.

Then:

Now:

I remember these. GREAT GREAT PROGRESS!!

 

[dlewis]

Here's my progess.

here's mine

This is where I am currently..I'm happy with the progress but was hoping for more growth. When I first started I did not have a pressing comb so its not very straight but here goes....

I Know others asked you, but I wasnt around, just came back one day and 'blam' your hair was real long, it looked 'effortlessly' too

what did you do?

 

[dlewis]

I had been doing everything for years. I got lazy and didn't do anything. Wash and bun 3 days a week, leaving conditioner at the ends of my hair. On the thrid day take it down and CW and rebun leaving condition on the hair. Detangle once a week. And that's it. No HOT, nothing. This is all I do. I've flat iron it 3 times this year. I wear a wash and gos maybe 30% of the time in the summers. But that's it.

I found the forums in June 2007. At that time I had damaged my once healthy relaxed hari to the point of no return with heat and color. I tried to baby it from June to September. At that point I was sick of wasting time and energy on hair that wasn't reviving.

Shot of my NG the day before my BC. I only transitioned for a month. I was ready for those dried out damaged relaxed ends to GO! I always intended on relaxing again. This was my first time seeing my natural hair since before I could remember.

My hair the day after my BC September 4, 2007

6 Months Later--Still Natural

Last Day Natural--June 2008

Texlaxed with ORS Lye is was good at first...

Then it went bad on me...I had smoothed the front too much and I lost too much texture, not the look I was going for:

So I did a corrective and went for straighter...The problem was that I used No-Lye and it got tooo straight...SCARY STRAIGHT. I contemplated another BC. I was seriously about to cry in this pic.

I didn't give up, I rollersetted like my life depended on it and this was my hair November 2008.

My hair was in so many layers just from being in a twa, so I've been cutting and trimming and dusting, especially that back part so the front could catch up this is the longest my hair had gotten...and the longest it's ever been this was July 2009:

Unfortunately, I did the BKT and it was too much heat for my hair and I had to cut off quite a bit in August 2009 and dyed it back to camoflauge the rest of the damage:

So that's about where I'm at. Finally learning to keep it simple and let it grow. My hair has grown quite a bit since that last pic and is back toucing my shoulder so i'm happy.

Thanks for letting me share! Good thread OP.

May 2008 Loc'd at 32 months.

One month after combing out locs and BCing again. Hair is color treated with red to cover a blonde accident. Some newgrowth showing. The red would eventually fade and the blonde would reappear.

Hair was color-treated again with a muted brown to try and cover blonde and then later with a red that faded. The dark brown is newgrowth since the last coloring in late spring/early summer 09, the brown is growth since November 2008 pic, the ends are the remnants of the Nov 08 color. I cut my hair a little bit each month to get the color out as much as possible.

Thank you, girl. You have had some experience with you hair. I'm so happy you shared it too, so that way if anyone else is seeing this, they may think twice on how to use certain things in their hair.
