Hey Ladies, August 30 was my one yr LHCF anniversary. If you had told me, a yr ago, that my hair would be where its at today, I would have been like:lachen:I started out relaxed (first 6 months of LHCF) and now I am natural(6 months post BC).
Here is how my hair has evolved. After being relaxed for 7yrs, I decided to go natural due to breakage. I went through a few stages of bad hair:(. It is way healthier now, in its natural state.

All the pics look lovely but i'm still trying to determine ur most recent pic and that i mean the current state of ur hair. Is it relaxed or natural.
 
Congratulations on your 1 yr anniversary!!! Your hair looks very healthy. What's your goal for year 2?
Well, I am natural now, so I want to stay natural for a year (March 2009 will be 1 yr since my BC) after one year of being natural, I will see what will be next.
 
Congrats! :)

(Can you post the pics vertical instead of horizontal? It will get of the "WIIIIIDDDEEE" page effect.)

I'm asking because my anniversary is coming up soon too. Some people ask me what's my next step, but honestly I think my main goal for 9/2008-9/2009 is to lose weight and take up running. Congrats again :drunk:
 
Love your natural hair! :afro: and also like you experienced... my hair is also much healthier since I no longer use relaxers.
 
Congrats Mandy! Can I just say that I LOVE the 3rd pic to the right in your siggie- that style is so cute on you.
 
so much of a transformation within one years!
I love your texture!
 
Congrats on your success, Mandy. What do you use to band your hair with?
Thanks for the compliment. Just ordinary elastic ouchless bands. It really helps.

Amazing progress! I can't believe that's just 5 months post BC! Wow!

Okay, so now - what is that in your hair in this picture? It looks like a long comb - is it a clip of some sort?
Thanks Justkiya. That is just a comb from Walmart.
