@Karyn: Yeah, I dug that pic relaxed hair out of the abyss. I can't stand to look at them anymore, every time I do I go "ewww". lol! I definitely prefer my natural hair. Smile

@the thread itself: I'm really enjoying this! It's great to see everyone's progress and beautiful everyone is! Very Happy

Hi everyone. It is fun viewing all of the comparisons. I think the best hair pictures for me would be March 2009 vs. March 2010. This is because March 2009 was my last relaxer, March 2010 marks me being natural 6 months/relaxer free 1 year. What a difference 1 year makes.

March 2009, fresh relaxer.

March 2010, natural --> puff.

I'm so happy because prior to this site and more research on my part, my natural hair was dull, dry, and a bit lifeless. Now, she's THRIVING!!!!!
