Naturalbutie* - Updated - Sept & Oct Pics
I am a 30-sumthin year old wife and mommy. I recently decided (again) to go fully natural with my hair. I have tried many different hair styles and gone through phases, but now with my first year down, I never imagined my hair would grow so fast. I am done convincing my husband that my hair would be fine in it's "all natural" state, he is now on board and loving running his hands through my soft cottony hair!

I have finally reached my 2-year anniversary is on July 3, 2009 - If you have any tips, feel free to let me know!

This is my first time ever having hair completely natural and free and the encouragement is definitely appreciated.

Stats:
My last relaxer was Dec. 2006
My official BC: July 3, 2007 - TWA to the max!
Transition Length: About 6.5 months
Length Check:
July 3, 2008 - 1-year anniversary - About 4-5 inches all around after cut.
January 10, 2009 - 18 Months - About 6-7 inches after trim
July 3, 2009 - 2-year anniversary - About 10-12 inches all around (Front - chin length, sides - shoulder length, back below shoulders)

Routine (or whatever you call it):
Cowash 2-3 times per week with TRESemme Conditioner or Aussie Moist
Various styles such as PUFFS, low ponies, twists and twist-outs and Wash-n-go's, braids on occassion along with wigs
Shampoo once a month or as needed depending....

Products:
TRESemme Shampoo & Conditioner
Aussie Moist Conditioner and 3-Minute Deep Conditioner
IC Styling Gel - All the time I must admit because my hair loves it and it's non-drying
Ecostyler Gel - on occasion
Cantu Shea Butter for puffs
Raw Shea Butter
100% Coconut Oil
Black Bar - recently purchased but haven't used on my hair yet.
Taliah Waajid - Mist Bodifer & African Healing Oyl - Love the oil for the body!
Denman Brush for detangling in shower

Current Goals - Health & Growth this year! I hope to achieve the same growth I have in the past year and maintain it. I will definetly be happy with that. Again feel free to express any needed suggestions to assist on my Nappy Journey!

Thanks Ladies & God Bless!
