I am mostly 4a/4b with maybe some 3b/c hair in the crown. Before I started relaxing my hair was almost always pressed and close to shoulder-length, but not quite. But since relaxing (since I was a teenager) my hair rarely made it to neck-length and whenever it does get that long, it quickly breaks off. Whenever I find a fotki album that inspires me and I think my natural hair looks like hers and look at the possibilities I am almost always disappointed because when I peek at their back-in-the day relaxed pics their hair is usually long, at least shoulder-length, apl, or bra-strap. Everytime I see this I feel deflated. So, I know there are lots of long-haired naturals, and I know there are lots of long-haired 4a/4b ladies, but who are the ladies who as a natural now have at least shoulder-length hair, are primarily 4a/4b and prior to going natural never had shoulder-length hair before? I need inspiration and hope.
