I look back on the days when my hair was permed and it was actually pretty! As far as health though, i had no idea what i was doing. I used to wash, condition, and flat iron my hair with nothing in it :nuts:.

So post up pics your old hair and your newly natural hair!

This is the natural hair:

Good Thread! The Relaxed Hair is Pretty, but All of ya'lls natural hair Looks Better and more healthy and fuller! And your faces looks younger.
 
I'm transitioning, but here's my back in the day photo and my most recent...

WOW BMP!! Your hair is so much longer being Natural! Or am I wrong?
My hair is definitely the longest its ever been as a natural but my hair was about APl or a little past it in that pic....the pic doesn't show my full length....it was decent but it was nothing to write home about especially compared to how my hair looks now:yep:

What a blast from the past!

BoingBoing I really liked your hair blonde it was purrtiful:love2: its gorge now as well.

My hair was bone-laxed LOL dry and brittle most of the time

These pictures are from 2006. The one of me in a blue dress is Dec 1, 2006 at a Christmas party. Nov 30, 2006 was the day of my last relaxer. I was just tired of relaxing. A few months later I BC'd.

My hair was pretty healthy, but required too much maintenance. Also, my scalp was a hot, itchy, flaky mess! And when I get my hair flat ironed now, nobody can tell that I don't get relaxers anymore. :) Sorry my pics are so big!
