spinoff: naturals show one year of growth!!

[infojunkie]

I was so excited to get to my one year nappiversary but was sick and so never posted my anniversary thread. Then babies were sick and by the time everyone was well, I was like "what's the point"? But hey better late than never.

Transitioned: 2/25/08
Cut to completely natural:2/25/09
One year anniversary:2/25/10

I may straighten my hair twice a year. I mostly wear twists, twist outs, and puffs. I've just recently added yarn twists to my arsenal and will be soon doing yarn braids. I also hope to learn to cornrow on my own hair this summer.

The first pic is my inspiration for transitioning. The second and third are after doing the chop. And the 4th and 5th are at 1 year post chop.

Thanks for letting me play.

Can you ladies state how long you transitioned? It could really help me to picture my year goal. I BCD a day short of 5 months post.

 

[LisaMar]

Ladies, thanks for posting....all the beautiful heads of hair helps to keep me motivated while transitioning without BC; Im almost 13 months post relaxer.

[tapioca_pudding]

Bumping to see if there are any more pics.

I usually just stalk but I couldn't help but post in this thread! I am definitely inspired by all of you ladies' growth. I am about 2 months shy of my bc anniversary and I've felt like I've hit a wall. Immediately after i bc'd I wore lacefronts and sew ins up until 4 months ago. I felt like I had more growth then. It could be because I see my hair daily now, I'm not noticing growth. IDK. But anyway here are my pics:

BC in April 2010 and a current wash and go puff

Keep em coming ladies! The inspiration is greatly appreciated
