Hello, i wasnt sure if i wanted to post this or not, but i decided that i should
This forum has helped me out a lot. I've been a lurker forever but i signed up last year. I hope you ladies enjoy my first(well second actually) thread. I tried to resize the pictures as much i could, so sorry if they are too big
It has been 1 year since my Big Chop, I went through so much to go natural, i transitioned 3x, i lost half of my hair from a relaxer(relaxing out of frustration). But i finally chopped all my hair off on January 29th 2009.
I have yet to straighten my hair fully, probably because i am afraid of the heat! So please excuse my "straight" hair pics, my hair was lightly blow dried out...
When i first started on my hair journey,
My hair was fried lol! 2007.
My first "big chop", i went to a salon to get a bob cut, my hair in the back(nape) was all natural..the rest still had relaxed ends on it. This was in 2008...March!
The day i lost half of my hair to a relaxer. I was about 6 or 8mths post, i relaxed out of frustration! The relaxer burned my hair off right to the scalp..and it was in certain places.
My Official BIG CHOP, i cut my hair twice, first it was to get rid of the relaxed ends, then it was to even my hair out.
^^^January 29th.
When i went natural, i wondered how long it would take my hair to start hang
^^^My hair started to "Hang" in July, but this picture was taken in December. My hair is wet(not soaked), but its pretty much the same when it is dry.
My biggest goal was to get a ponytail, i lived by ponytails when i was relaxed! It seems like every years in my journey my hair gets shorter & shorter...just when i started to get a bun, there went my hair
^^^I actually started out with 4 "pig" tails, then i went to two pigtals, and after that came a scrawny ponytail
My full and fluffy bunny tails
My puff
My Afro journey,
My final picture:
^^My length, i am an inch pass my collar bone. My hair from my nape is 7in. I trimmed an inch off back in the summer time too..so i dont think i did that bad in a year, I still have layers, but i honestly dont care..i love layers! I havent been APL in over 3yrs?! I have about 4 more inches to get to APL.
