Three Year Natural-versary!!

That’s right, ladies. I’ve been in this game for 3 whole years.

It was 3 years ago that I called my best friend over to cut my relaxed ends off after weeks of agonizing. It was 3 years ago that I cried on the floor of my bathroom clutching my old relaxed ends after my friend went home. It was 3 years ago that I covered up my hair with a scarf for 2 days straight so my husband wouldn’t see my hair.

And it was 3 years ago that, maybe a week later, I did my first set of fingercoils….and fell in love with my hair!

So let’s compare!

Twists on dry hair. Even though these twists look terrible, I'm still glad I took the picture. Remember that not everyone starts out knowing how to style their hair. Especially when one has been relaxed most of their life. It's a learning process. Scroll down to see how I've improved

First flat iron job. About 7 months natural here.

I was really struggling to find some straight hair pictures from this year that showed the length from the front. This will have to do, it is from last year.

Twists on wet hair--November 2010

I know a lot of people straighten their hair for their hair-anniversary. It makes sense, I suppose, to want to see your length without shrinkage. But I decided to ring in my anniversary with my fro, which I don’t wear much anymore.

I will probably straighten in a month or so just for kicks
