[anherica]

Thanks ladies! I was havin' a bad day, until I revisited this thread.

 

[locabouthair]

Naturallady I love your hair!

 

[rootdeep]

Okay okay. I wanna play!

Before LHCF
This is as long as I thought my hair was going to ever grow again. This is rightBEFORE it REALLY began to fall out last winter so you can imagine how ROUGH it looked!

After
There is no rinse or dye in my hair....just dark and healthy! Whew...I could cry looking at this!

 

[locabouthair]

root deep your pics are inspiring me. how long did it take you to get to that length?

 

[rootdeep]

Hmmm....I would sayd 8 months of changing hair habits and CUTTING ALL OF THAT DEAD THIRSTY hair off. That before pic is a GOOD pic...My hair was at my ear December 31, 2005 when I let her cut all of the dead hair off. I kept wearing falls up until July of this year and here I am. I pray that it continues to stay healthy and grows.

Oct 2004-Right before I started my journey. I didn't know it looked so bad! I got a cut in December '04 to make it look better so I started out a little shorter than this.

bumping for Serenity

 

[Dymondz7]

Bumping. It would great for this to be a sticky!

 

[kimbaparis]

I cut my hair chin length during the month of September 2005, because I wanted to wear my hair in a non-floppy afro. I achieved my goal, but missed my length terribly. As of August 2006, I've gotten that length back (prior to the cut) and more.

asha, i love your hair. what type would you say you have? how do you take care of the afro? do you press it? and how often.

i am a newbie with a big bald spot. thinking about a chop.

Ooh, thank you!!!

 

[Dymondz7]

Decided to bump for those of us who need inspiration as we move into the New Year

 

[seymone]

All this just with protective styles... Now, I wonder what I will get from actually taking care of my hair

 

[gn1g]

I am perplexed. I am just now seeing this thread. I come on this site everyday and I just found out that wrapping can make your hair thin. There's no end to what I could be missing.


Beautiful shots ladies.

 

[silvergirl]

[asha]
