Three years natural! **yes I added pictures **

[BostonMaria]

Hello ladies -

September 23rd marked my 3rd year anniversary! Woot woot! I have LOTS of pictures to post. For those that want to know my regimen I posted it on my blog - click here.

To make a long story short, my last relaxer was November 30, 2006. I decided to transition to natural February 2007. I finally did the BC September 2007 after 10 months of transitioning. I had close to 5 inches of new growth and couldn't even put it into a ponytail. Below are the pictures with a description.

I then cut about 2 inches of hair in 2010 to make it blunt. I got tired of the V.

April 2010

Then I cut another 1/2 inch. Don't ask. I wasn't supposed to even cut this year! LOL

October 2010
Wet hair, no product and I haven't detangled yet

Back of my hair. It didn't come out super straight, but I'm tired so I don't care.

I've only been to the salon ONCE this year so I'm proud of myself. I might "splurge" and go in December for my company's Christmas party.

That's all folks!

Thanks ladies!
Right now I'm happy with the length. The last time it was this long I was in the 4th grade LOL my hair was a HAM for years. I'm so grateful for this forum and hair blogs that have taught me so much. Wish they were around 20 years ago.

Excellent progress! Our hair story is similar & I can't help but wonder if I hadn't spent all of 08 trimming away my hennaed ends if my hair would be WL also!

Yeah Maria! Congrats and keep up the good work.
I love your updates. Your wet hair looks a lot like mine (length wise). It doesn't look like you have much shrinkage. When dry and without twisting or banding, mine shrinks to my shoulders. I haven't straightened since November 09 so I can't wait to see my progress when it's straightened. I was disappointed last year and havent' done a length check since.
