Loc jouney has come to an end

These photos show my natural journal as it spanned through the above dates. My last relaxer was August 2005.

Relaxed hair included. These are photos of curly weaves that I am wearing at the moment. In these pictures, other than the faux pony pictures, the only area of my hair that is out or visible is the very front. All of the rest of my hair is in cornrows and the faux hair is sewn onto the cornrows. My last perm was August 3, 2005. I plan to transition with weaves for a full year. I may transition for a few extra months, until the end of November, my birthday. I would love to debut my new natural look on my birthday.

Update 05/06/2006: Most of my perm was cut off back in January or February of this year. I have less than an inch of perm on my ends. Usually, in between styles, I take the faux hair out, wash/condition my hair on my own and go to the stylist the next day. So, I have a good idea about how much natural hair I have everytime I change styles. I must say that I am happy with the growth at this point and feel that November is a good target for the growth that I want to achieve before wearing my hair out.

Update 08/20/2006: Shots of microbraids are added. I have not had my hair in a straight style in over a year. I am closing in on November and wanted to see if I missed the straight look.
