MY NAPPIVERSARY/LHCF ANNIVERSARY!! ***EXTREMELY PIC HEAVY***

[vivEz daNs lamouR]

Hey ladies! I haven't done one of these posts like... ever. But I figured it was time to finally document my progress.

I started off originally around my join date here which was August of 2007; my hair was relaxed but damaged pretty badly from color jobs and relaxing so much.

All in all, I'm one year post-BC and almost three years post-LHCF. Some of the dates have mega gaps in them because I lack the discipline to take monthly or even quarterly updates, my apologies!

April 2007 (mini chop due to severe damage from my first and last weave)

March 2008 (well into transitioning to natural)

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to everyone who assisted me with my HHJ and transition, I would really truly not be at the stage I'm at today without you lovely ladies as inspiration.

Can i ask for your regimen?

Thanks! I don't really have much of a regimen, I kind of just do whatever I feel. I used to be very much into have a long detailed process, but over time I learned to cut out multiple things that served no purpose and now I K.I.S.S.

I conditioner wash and always DC whether I'm straightening or not, and I clarify about 1x a month. My staples are Trader Joe's NourishSpa line, NTM Leave in, KCCC, and Coconut Oil.
