THE EVOLUTION OF MANDY-1yr LHCF anniversary(lots of pics)

[Mandy4610]

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 likeI 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.

Somewhat healthy relaxed.

Then the breakage in the back started

Cut some of it to try to get it healthy

Cut some more!

Cut even more (this was the worst hair ever

Then decided to just start over!!

5 months after the BC.

Much healthier

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.

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
