Post your BC pic and a pic of your hair today

[Etherealsmile]

First pic is from Jan 09, however I didn't actively start growing my hair until November 2009.

The next 2 pics are the most recent pictures I have of my hair. I posted those several weeks back after texturizing The last picture is a shot of my original texture.

My 2 year anniversary is on November 20th. My hair in the back is at APL, however the front and sides are between shoulder length and collarbone length.

I'm no longer "actively" trying to grow my hair out as i'm very satisfied with my current length

This is one of the threads I'm supposed to be in, but I am not because I don't take pictures.

 

[lesedi]

Only now am i realising how important it is for me to take pics of my progress sporadically. I'm only seeing now that i HAVE retained growth over the past 6 months

I haven't posted in a million years, so bear with me. If you go to my photobucket don't judge me for those styles I wore back then lol. Those funky things got me to wear I am today, lawd.
Day of BC Dec 19, 2007. Yes I remember the exact day lol:

Texture pic of my tiny coils from April 2010:

Last time I blow dried/flat ironed in July 2011:

First Blow dry/Flat Iron in July 2011:

I have been natural for over 3.5 years now and the first time I used any heat was this May 2011, so we'll see how it goes. As you can see I still get a lot of shrinkage with flat ironed hair, because it is not bone straight, but that is fine with me as I like the fullness. I've been keeping it blowdried to help slow down these ssk's. I should have been WSL a long time ago, but these suckas don't play and I've had to trim a lot lol! All that to say I love my naps and I will spare yall the pics of my relaxed/ jacklaxed days as I was TOE-UP, chewed-up neck length lol.
