Post your BC pic and a pic of your hair today

[Kdiamond19]

Decided one day to give up relaxers. Definitely has to be at least a year or more since I have touched the creamy crack.

D.I.Y Big Chop - April 2011 - used my relaxed ends as a mustache for fun

July 2011

 

[MaraWithLove]

Hmm, I don't have a BC pic >.<

I BC'ed January 29th

First pic I have of my natural hair since BC is here (I know, not such a good photo)-this was from June 11th. The next pictures are from mid and late August-as you can see I love playing around with temporary colors , but I hennaed recently; the last is from yesterday. Hope I didn't spam too much!

Guess I'll add pics. I BCd December 2008 after 20 months of transitioning- this pic was after I BCd if you can call it that.

Straightened that same week:

My siggy was my hair this Spring, I've had 3 trims/cuts of 1-2 inches each. This is about 2.5 yrs later.

Wash n Go

Once i compared pictures today, i have realised that it has grown
I'm no Sammie7 though

I bc'd in february this year (the first pic was taken a month after my bc)

and this is me today

 

[youwillrise]

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.

so YOU'RE the one who stole all my hair!!!!!

thought you'd get away! FOR SHAME!!!




haha.

beautiful!

great progress to all of you ladies! i've been natural for nearly 6 years, but i'm only showing about 2 year's worth of growth because ive cut my hair about 3 or 4 times since my original chop (the last cut being 2 years ago). ahhhh, if only i coulda just left it alone...i could be where i want to be. lol

 

[lesedi]

MaraWithLove did you experience any negatives when using temporary colour? I'm keen to try some out

 

[MaraWithLove]

lesedi Mm, none actually! I will say that some colors will bleed (for me it was reds and blues) and that's annoying lol. As far as BSS temporary colors I like adore brand when I want a flashy color and my hair didn't stain my pillows or anything either! Take pics if you try 'em out!!

I definitely will post pics I have the via rinse in blue black and bordeaux and i want to try one out sometime this week... I'll look out for adore though, did it last long, how many washes? I co-wash often so it might not even be worth my while

Yes, you will! I believe in you . I'll put in a good word for you with Santa. When he gets done dropping off my WSL hair, he'll pay you a visit lol.

*hides super glue* Nuh uh! I dun grew this hair right out of my follicles! I didn't cut off your hair and then meticulously glue the strands onto my own using super glue and a pair of tweezers. Haha, thanks for the compliment! Maybe I should hide your scissors for you.

First Blow dry/Flat Iron in July 2011:

There are no words to describe how i feel about this pic. Girl, where have you been? LHCF needs you to start posting more often

 

[KurlyNinja]

I'm not even 6 months post BC, yet, so its not that big of a difference, but I will post anyway.


BC'd on March 25th of this year



Flat Ironed Mid July



Length Check Sept 1st

 

[Mandy4610]

I have become terribly lazy with picture taking, so I don't have the most current pics.

I BCed on March 15th 2008....comparison pics are from April, so my hair is longer than the pics show.


One to 3 months after BC

April 2011

 

[My Friend]

I applaud all the ladies that shared their journey. You have all done a fabulous job

Ooh, lovely! Hmm well surprisingly my pink was holding up for a while (that's supposed to be a color that fades fast). Temporary colors usually last me about a month or so, but some fade after 2-3 weeks. Oh and for the black rinse-THAT might come out quick, at least that came out quick for me so I'd just decided to dye the area I wanted black with permanent. HTH

 

[lesedi]

anyone else?

BC 3 years and 8 months ago:
