These pix were taken right after my trim last Thursday. I had about an inch cut off. Here are my starting pictures:

Here is a close-up (unstretched):



Stretched:



I was trying to take this one by myself. DD finally came to my rescue and took pity on me:

Hey guys Im new to the boards and really excited to get to my first challenge!! here is my start pics not that great b/c I rarely straighten my hair because 1. Im not really use to my natural texture( last relaxer 7/31/'09 BC 6/25/'10) and 2. because Im not really used to having this short length of hair. Anyway here they are... The first two were taken the weekend of the fourth the last was a bit after that in a combed out twist out.

Decided to attempt to take these pics myself to get it over with :look:. I hate taking hair pics. I'm just hoping to have bigger and longer hair by the end of the challenge. I'm not interested in straightening or stretching my hair.

blown out

The hair was a little poofy but this is my current length. I pretty much grew my hair back from my trims/cuts from late april. hopefully I can get to bsl by july of next year or at least bsb. also putting down the scissors will help me also.

Ms Coco37 is really persuasive, so I will be joining after all. LOL. I will most likely be wigging it since I can't bun yet. I will attempt some twists to see if I can do that. My relaxed hair is so thick, that it almost feels like my natural hair. We'll see where that takes us from there. My length pic is in my siggie pic.
