Did you ever think your natural texture was what it is? (I hope I phrased that right) I believe my natural hair is quite coarse but now....I'm thinking who knows.....

ETA: I keep coming back to this thread because it is turning into the "who's who of LHCF" -- I mean all the who's who are stopping by to pay homage to the lovely ms. lauren. I see some new siggies...

It looks cute! And you have a lot of hair! How long did you transition for? Like a year? You have more hair than I do now. I'm jealous. It looks good though.

 

[Bint Yusef]

Congrats!

 

[growinstrong]

awwwww, it looks soooooo gorgeous . Make sure you change the date of your BC. Dont know if you realize it, but you have 1/17/08

 

[carameldiva]

Gorgeous hair, Lauren450. I absolutely love it. congradulations!!!!

I just BCed...Lord have mercy!

I don't know what made me do it. I washed my hair and was about to dc when I realized that I was sick to death of dealing with it. I got the urge. I asked my dh what he thought, and he said it doesn't matter what he thinks because it's my hair and my decision (I know he didn't want me to).

So, I did it. I did little sections at a time, and now I'm fully natural!

At this very moment, I'm scared. I have no idea what to do next! I'm about to search this forum like a madwoman right now.

Anyway, thanks for listening!

P.S. I'll post pics tomorrow. I still have my towel on my head. My dh hasn't even seen it yet.

ETA: Pics

Here are the pics! Warning...I still have more cutting to do because there are some straight ends and I'm a little lopsided in places. This is after a cowash with Fantasia IC gel finger combed through:

So, that's me in all my nappy glory!

 

[ALWAYZL8]

Just one word...GORGEOUS!! I am so jealous right now. I can't wait until I am where you are. I am only five months post and you have made me quite antsy!!! ROCK IT!

Congratulations!!! You're texture is beautiful and your hair looks sooo soft! I remember when you joined the real texture challenge last year girl!! and i fell off ( But I hope to get there one of these days!

Wow Lauren, you did a really good job with the cut. You are so versatile--you are one that can wear many styles and still look fab. I also have to give you the bravery award too! Shoot, first seeing your thread even made MY heart race. (so I'm sure yours was too when you did your chop)

@ raising the fist.

I had some idea what my texture would be like. I didn't really start seeing coils until 5-6 months in. Then it seemed stretched out and frizzy, but I could tell it was soft. Once all the ends were cut off, it coiled right up. So it's true what they say...you won't truly know until it's cut.
