Hello All,

I've been natural for about a week shy of 6 months. My B-day was this past Sunday and my present to myself was to get my hair straightened (FYI I did not straighten it myself; I went to the salon and for good reason.It took the stylist 3 hours to straighten....yea, I'm not doing it on my own). So, of course I want to share my progress with my LHCF fam. Here are the pics of my 5 month 3 week progress:drunk:.

BC: 09/01/2008

My original goal was to make SL by 09/2009. But I'm claiming it now:grin:. Hopefully it will continue to grow and I'll be APL by this time next year. I'm really proud of my hair; its stronger than its ever been and the stylist barely had to trim anything off!!(BONUS!!) Yaaay happy natural hair!! I love it!!
 
Happy belated birthday to you!!!! Yes your has has grown out nicely! It looks good! I hope to have some tremedous progress myself within 6 months. Good for you though!:yep:
 
Happy Belated Birthday!

Your hair does look really great, love how the hair falls and still has the thickness. Kudos to the stylist! Hope to find a stylist like that when my day comes. :)
 
Just gorgeous:grin::yep:
