See and I just permed my TWA because I was sick of the dry natural I had. I will be transitioning once again using braids and weaves to get to this goal. No matter how much I get tired of my natural hair, I always come back. Thanks for the inspiration.

Girl your hair looks amazing both in its natural and straighten state.

Kudos to Reniece, she did a great job............hopefully when i am ready to get my hair straighten in the next year or so, i can find someone with that much skill.

Have you washed it yet? Let us know how it feels after your first wash. Mine always feels different after getting it straightened.

I washed it yesterday. It feels great! Better than usual, actually, because I deep conditioned with heat after washing. Also because straightening really lined my strands up with each other, so the overall feel is smoother than my normal spider-webby thing. Complete reversion. I lightly blow dried and oiled and twisted for a fluffy twist out. I wish my hair could always be like this.

I can't believe that I missed this thread. Dr. Mwedzi... all I can say is that not only are you and your hair beautiful, but also, I genuinely feel a deep sense of pride when I see these pictures. As someone else so rightly stated, there's no way that Reniece could have done what she did if she didn't have such healthy hair to work with. What inspires me the most is that you took care of your hair through the rigors of graduate school and moves to different countries, plus any number of events that life itself tends to throw our way. This serves as a very strong sign to me that there's no excuse. I am saying what others have already said: your hair is beautiful, marvelous, stupendous, impressive - words fail me! And the best part is that any one of us can look at this and know that we can achieve what you've achieved - even us 4B girls - if we're willing to take care of our hair. :yep:

This is truly awesome. :yep: Thank you so very much for blessing us with these pictures. They are a harsh rebuke to every lie that any Black girl has grown up believing about the "limitations" of our hair. There are no limits to what we can do. :yep:

Naija, you are too much. :blush: Thank you. I struggle, but I try.

Stunning! Whatever you've been doing to your hair since 2002 has certainly paid off! The stylist is very skilled. To think that she only had to cut 1 inch. Amazing! Your shrinkage is also amazing. That's just how it is. Tightly coiled locks are the bomb!
Whip your hair, girl!!!!!!!!

That was a wonderful reveal thread. I went through all 21 pages looking for the video but did not find it, so I guess it has not been posted. Nevertheless, the stylist did a great job and she of course had great material to work with.

I'm glad you decided to take her up on her offer. It's so beautiful and she did a great job. Too bad I can't fly out there and have her do mine. I don't trust anyone on my hair LOL.

Then she put curls in it:



Side view:


Then she directed me to flip it and shake it for a video. I was really awkward. I'm not used to straight hair was afraid I was going to mess it up or tangle it. But I tried.


And from the front:


I even did a bun drop, with video from that hopefully coming soon!


I don't know what to do with straight hair, so I wore it down for a couple of days and now it's in a bun.
But I think I will try a bantu knot out or put some curls in it or something. All the same, I'm glad I got it done and glad to find out that there is at lease one stylist out there who is gentle, skilled, and open to learn more if she thinks there are any gaps in her knowledge. I highly recommend her.

omg your hair is freakin' gorgeous sis!!!!!!!!

What beautiful locks, and Mwedzi you are a pretty lady! Her skills are BANANAS! I gotsta either get me a weave by Reniece or a press like Mwedzi when I get a lil' mo length! :eek:

SN: Ya'll, isn't Reniece out of Silver Springs, MD? If she is (or if she is in the greater D.C./MD area), when I go visit my Aunty in MD soon, I'mma make me an appt...damn if she can do that on tightly coiled hair like Mwedzi's...then I know she could have mine looking like some Remy weave lol :yep: (its hard to straighten, not heat trained either...but kind of soft). I don't do salons or stylists anymore, but Reniece makes me wanna give her a chance!
