I feel like a broken record coz I feel like I share these pics all the time. Well back in Feb 2007, I was natural and happy with my hair which was this long:

Going to a stylst to learn how to shingle that month earned me a BC w/o my consent and the ugliest non-shingled hairdo ever. The do pics here and the SHS BC end result below:

I'll share. I've been natural for the past seven years. I BCed for the 4th time last month. I cut my hair for different reasons each time.

MY BC at the end of Feb.

Sorry for being OT, but your brows are on point! Do you do them yourself? As for your makeup, it's subtle but beautiful. You look really nice.

I did a BC April 2008. I'm relaxed now.

My BC back in 2001 - way before I knew anything about natural haircare!!

If I knew then what I know now.......

From about 8 years ago:

3 weeks after

My hair was nothing special before. Always somewhere between shoulder length and APL. There was about a 3 year period when it was short-short (ear length and longer.)

I Bc'd June 5, 2009.. and then again on June 20th.



Here was my first BC 6/5/09. It was at 2am and was sooooo random. My last relaxer was March 2009. I was alllllmost APL and I decided it was natural now or never


2009 THROWBACK::

BC COMPARISON::

2AM CUT:: I was excited!!!

I only rocked my natural hair out that weekend.. It was fun.. but I am on a mission for healthy LONG natural hair

Then on 6/20 I cut it again. For the fear of scab hair, and to rid my head of any leftover permies that I missed

i've been transitioning for about 7 months and i get that itch every day. i, too, am scared. i am certain that i will need some support when i do it.

ok, so your four months ahead of me. I'm friending you. I am so afraid of not being able to deal with my multi-textured head of hair, plus i feel like if I'm gonna go natural, then it needs to be fierce. no need in having all that gorgeous natural hair and still be walking around looking a mess. I gotta ensure that I can keep it looking purdy at all times. I'm not 4 so I can't rock my DD hair styles that I put in her hair.
