Where are YOU NOW!!! Before and After pic :)

Well, if you know any of my story, I went from a bald head in October 2008 to a medium length crop of blond in May 2009. I started to grow out the blond in October 2009 when I noticed my hair being so dry. I tried to love my hair back to health, but it didn't work. I chopped off the blond gradually and I am back brown/black again.

The 1st pic is my bc in Oct. 2008
My blond hair before the chop in Sept 2009 (straightened)
My blond transitioning Oct. 2009 (curly)
Where I am today(like forreal today, 6-29-2010)

I don't know how to post the the pics larger. Not very computer saavy.

Please excuse the puffiness. I was preggo last yr, and this year. Lol.

I've been through various hair lengths relaxed (bob, pixie, pageboy, mohawk, you name it...the picture on the left is the longest), but I just BC'd a few days ago to go natural for the first time in about 10 years.

i'll be eternally grateful to this site and for everyone on it!

Maybe reach out to the veterans of LHCF in a thread of your own. They may have suggestions that can help you. JMHO
 
I think all you ladies are inspirations...it amazing what we can achieve with each others knowledge of our hair...beautiful.
 
:worship2: GORGEOUS!!!


Here are my comparison pics. It's easier to see the length difference when you compare the straight hair pics. My hair has SO much shrinkage when its curly.

I did the BC almost 5 months ago, so my progress isn't as far as some of the pictures in here.

This is a compilation of my first Wash n Go attempt done about a month after the BC and my Wash n Go's about 14 weeks later.

This thread is wonderful.

I started my hair journey when I joined the other hair board (BHM) in july 08
I have had set backs but now I am more patient and accept what my hair likes.

Taken Oct 08 (blow fried :-( never again )
