My hair journey, in 12 pics

[kelly_girl]

So, back in 2009 I contemplated giving up the creamy crack, the perm, the relaxer. I hadn't seen the actual hair that grows out of my head (more than few inches) in over 20 years. I went back and forth and finally decided to get my hair cut short in Jan 2010 and go from there.

It's been a love affair, getting to know my natural hair. I may straighten it with a flat iron in the future (once or twice) but I love love love my curly hair and have come to appreciate it. These days if I have what I think is a bad hair day, I grab a stretchy hair band and push the hair back into a cute puff and keep going.

Awesome, thanks. I looked at a bunch of sites like those the last time I tried to grow my hair out, but it didn't occur to me to do again now. I'm definitely curious to see how my hair behaves as it gets longer -- is seems like it changes back and forth between hair types at different lengths. I've really only got my sisters' hair to guess by at this point except their hair is a lot finer and less dense than mine. We'll see!

I've always been completely intrigued by the various types of locs, but I suspect that my hair wouldn't hold them. Alas.
