I'm on my way...just last Feb 2003 had a bad experience where my medium - long natural hair was cut to a TWA by a stylist (long story - don't want to go there!!!). Talk about upset and feeling down...BUT I thank God I found LHCF...
Today, I have my hair pulled back in a bun!!!! YEAH!!!!!!
Also, my nephew told me recently while watching American Idol, "auntie, your hair looks like hers - big" (the one who had her hair curly then pressed it). All I could do was grin b/c I know my hair will be passed my hsoulders when I get it pressed for a trim in a few months. Slowly but surely, I'm getting there!
