One Year Natural part 2

So as a treat to myself as well as to see how far my hair grew, I straightened my hair. Here are the pictures….

The tips are blown out.

Blown out fully

Almost there! I also got a trim.

There all done yay me!!!!!!

From the side.

Back….

This was the growth from January 3, 2011 to January 3, 2012. I got my BC done in August of 2011. I also got a trim when i straightened it so it was slightly longer but not by much. Also, when I straightened my hair it reverted the next day so i guess my hair didn’t want to be straight at all.

While I was at church some old white lady who doesn’t get it was telling someone else that I should just use a relaxer because it works. She should try a relaxer herself and see how much she likes it. Offbrands!

 

ONE YEAR NATURAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Au Natural!!!!!!!!!

I have been natural since January 5 of this year and I have not done the chop yet but for those whose natural hair is long enough I think this Bantu knot looks really cool. I cant wait till all my hair is all natural. Yesterday I had to get most of my hair chopped off because I forgot to detangle my hair after I took out my braids and so my hair matted. I quickly went to Derek J’s hair salon (Willi does my hair! and He’s worth ever dime)  to fix the problem and Fatu wash and got as many knots out as she could and Willi chopped and straightened it. Since i was looking to get my big chop soon I really didnt care for all the hair i lost. I think I only have an inch of  permed hair in front and 2 inches of permed hair left in back.
