- I just had to lol at a response that I gave AuNappturale here: http://public.fotki.com/ms-gg/quick-style-guide/braids/braids7monthcomparison.html#
I said: I am so happy! I gave up on trying to play trim the ends off the broken hair game cause it was a losing battle and now I am just letting it grow and if I get any major set backs I'll deal with it from there....I'm sure it will come back to bite me in the butt when I start to see bsl and beyond though....
So I have nobody to blame but myself for my set back. For anybody who has cut a significant amount of their hair off you probably can relate to this. I am happy with my cut. I really am, suprisingly more than I initially thought I would, but at the same time I think to myself, "man, how much hair would I really have if I never cut it off?" But it is all good, before I know it I will have it all back and in a healthier state than before. This year I am going to work towards being more gentle and loving to my hair. I read somewhere that thick hair does not need protein as much as thinner hair, and guess what I have been using a lot of....yeah, protein! Protein is in everything! I am either going to go cold turkey on the protein or reduce protein usage to once every couple of months. And I am not talking about products that specifically say they are protein formulated, I am talking about eliminating protein from ALL of my products- silk amino acids, RNA/DNA and all of her cousins and em' that are hidden in the products. I am upping my moisture game. People going to think I am rocking a jerry curl because of all the juices I am going to be spraying in my hair. I am not playing this time around. I remember way back when, when I did my first bc, when I stopped using castor oil and other oily ingredients in my hair due to the acne I started to get, and how moisturized my hair was then as compared to now....what a difference and what a pickle. I am going to have to find a happy median because my hair will suffer no more. I am forreal. I never want to have to do what I did (cut it ALL off) because of damage EVER again. If I do, it is because I want to, not because I HAVE to.....I am still looking for the camera ya'll....I am seriously worried because I am lost as to where it is at! See ya'll later- LOVE YA! - albums: 3

- I WILL BE GETTING BACK INTO MY SIZE 7's and 9's this year or else.... I have been overweight for almost 3 years now and it ended on New Years day. I did not give myself a "new years resolution" or any of that other crap, I just decided after watching a few episodes of "The Biggest Loser" as I did before in 2007 when I lost 15 pounds that if these people who are severely obese can loose weight, get up off their butts and and have enough self control to reach their goals, I can do it too. So I am officially in this self challenge to lose weight. I am tired of the belly fat, not looking good in my clothes anymore, and being lazy. This is something that I am not use of, and something I am not trying to accept. I want to be healthy, and I want to prolong my life. This year, once again, I promise that I WILL LOSE WEIGHT! I pledge that here on my fotki, today, this third day of January. Taebo 3 times a week and when the weather allows me I will walk 4 miles hopefully at least once a week at the latest starting in March. No more chips, cookies, cake, cutting back on the other sweets.....If I can do this until April I should be good.

- As I am nearing 3 years natural and my album is growing bigger by the day, I have decided to make a quick stop where you can come to and find a particular style since I have so many albums. I will also be adding a summary section of how to generally acheive a style.

| | | - Year Three
- I am entering into my third year of being natural. Unlike last year, my nappy ann will probably come and go like any other day of the week. Just not in the mood for it this year understandably.
But so far I have about 8-10 inches of hair (it amazes me that my hair retains all this length and I cut it every chance I get) and I am contemplating cutting it because I am sick of these incomplete splits that cause trouble when I try to detangle/style/look at it - albums: 12
