Before I was Natural....

I realized that I don't think I ever posted what my hair looked like before I went natural... 

So here's some flashbacks :

2005 (Freshman year of college)

2007 (Junior yr, my hair was to my shoulder blades, the longest it's ever been, 

& almost about how long its grown back to!)

2008 (These two pics are from when I cut my hair that summer after it started breaking off very badly, I started transitioning at the end of that year.)

So there you go :-)

Fun summer day

Yesterday I forced my BF into enjoying the nice summer day with me. He was reluctant at first, but we ended up with some really nice pictures, so I thought I'd share.

 

PS- I tried straightening my hair. That didn't end so well. I've only tried to straighten it about 3 other times since I've gone natural. But it always reverts back to curly. I haven't learned how to straighten it well without using a lot of heat. I'm terrified of burning my hair, so I give up if it doesn't work. This time I tried straightening it & then leaving it in pillow rollers over night. It actually turned out really well.... Except for the fact ended up being ridiculously humid. Needless to say, my hair ended up looking like I never put a flat iron to it. Unfortunately my phone is not in working order, or I could send a picture of how my press & curl looked. Hopefully  I will be able to get that to you soon.

PPS- I don't play the guitar, Asha does. He's gonna be teaching me how to play, & hopefully soon I'll have my own. Don't I look great with a guitar? ;-)

Until next time

Length Check- 5/23/10

I was watching the LOST season finale and decided to see how long my hair was (because watching LOST obviously means doing my hair...no, not so much)

But yeah, so it seems that my hair is 7 inches long (it is hard to read the ruler, but that's what it said). So basically I have about 4 inches of shrinkage when my hair is curly! This is the fastest my hair has grown..ever. I'm pretty sure it took me my first 3 years of college to get it this long before (with a perm) and I grew this a little over a year. (excitement!!!)

Anyway, I decided to go ahead and straighten the rest of my hair & put it in rollers. So I will take pics tomorrow so you can see how it looks. I need to cut off like an inch of split ends, but I wanna buy some cutting shears first.


Until next time bloggers,
