I started my hair journey in July 2008 and I started seing results by Septembet. My Shoulder length hair leapt to APL! Since then, I have tried growth aids, weaves and powders :lol::lol:!

I have texlaxed my hair between January 2009 and November 2009 and decided to transition in January 2010! I am now over 14 months post texlax and I am loving it! I wish I'd decided to go natural sooner but I guess I wasn't ready! If you told me 2 years ago I would be transitioning, I'd ask you to buy a new crystal ball....that one MUST be broken! :blush:

I'm keeping it simple with my regimen and currently am doing a braid with me challenge hosted on my website, www.lolascurls.com and my youtube channel: Lolascrib. I spritz daily with moisture mix (water, aloe vera juice and diluted conditioner). :grin: I know co-washing, deep conditioning and bunning really helped my hair retain alot of length, but I need to stop over-manipulating my hair (too many out-styles in the summer of 2010). Now I tend to do buns with my kinky twists and I can't wait for longer, thicker natural hair. I do plan to transition for at least 2 years, however, because I am too attached to my length. Plus, I want to see how long my hair can grow (aiming for tail-bone combined relaxed/texlaxed/natural length!:yep:).

Here are some pics! Thanks for reading, ladies and for guiding me on my journey. Feel free to check out my website (links to my fotki on there).
