January 2006

This is my not starting point as far as taking pictures. I wish I had taken pics prior to this because my hair was a HOT LIVING MESS. I had been wearing weaves forever and neglecting my hair. I would typically weave the back and wear microbraids at the top. I was soooo against moisturizing and even oiling my hair because I thought it made my braids look raggedy. Forget that my hair was dry and brittle and that my scalp was sooooo itchy, my priority was keeping my weave tight. Needless to say, after a trip to NY, my scalp was sooo dry, it was white. I took my weave/braids down and my hair began to BAIL. I mean, falling out left and right. I hadnt had a perm in probably a year and the lack of moisture caused my hair to break off at the line of demarcation. I didnt know what was happening then, but I cut off all my permed hair and began my voyage to great, healthy hair care. These pics are probably 4 months after I cut off the perm and started getting serious about my hair.
