Naturals 16-20 Months Post BC, Please Show Me Your HAIR!!

[Sianna]

To reiterate the title of this thread, I am looking for hair inspiration (and PORN, mustn't forget that!) from naturals who...

1) BC'ed after a very short, (if any) transition, and

2) Have 16-20 inches worth of growth on their heads right now! Or, if you have surpassed that amount of growth, old pics from around that same time will work just fine!

I'm trying to get an idea what types of styles I should be able to achieve by mid to late summer!

ETA: Just to be a little more specific, If your natural hair, (stretched) is between 6 to 10 inches, I'd like to see it!

TIA!!

I wanna see too! I just love looking at hair porn. I just did my bc, so I am really interested in the 6 to 10 inches as well.

Hey Sianna, how are you?

This is a good and interesting thread I would like to see some pics also. I'm 15 1/2 going on 16 months post relaxer. Wish I had pics but I didn't plan on taking those until I hit a year as a full natural in June. (Sowy ) but I will be here lurking.....

You should do a Fro Hawk in the Summer

I'm doing just fine! Thanks for asking!

You shouldn't wait to take pics! It's great being able to look back, even just a couple of months to see how your hair is progressing! For me it's been extremely encouraging. Plus you can be taking pics now, and then reveal them all at once, showing everyone else (especially me) all the great progress you've made!

Oh, and thanks for the compliment about my hair! I'm 10 months post BC, but I didn't transition. I just chopped it all off!

^^ Thanks so much DB!! That really helps and gives me a pretty good idea of what my hair should look like in the coming months, shrinkage and all!

HI!! I'm presently 18 months post BC. Last I measured I had between 8 and 9 inches of hair. I totally thought I'd have more hair by now..but whomp...it is what it is.

The first pic is a blow out in March 2010. Second is a December 2010 "blowout: (more like combout) and the last is my twist from that blowout...lol.
