My hair has gotten way too long...longer than the pictures.....and I just lazy to tell you the real truth.

Both of you women are gorgeous with your napptural styles. I've been natural for about 3 years now and I love it. My hair is really long at the top, but the back is having some issues (long story) so I usually wear it in microbraids. I'm planning to keep it that way until the back catches up with the front. My main reason for going natural was because my hair was getting too thin and breaking off from perming it. I love the look and feel of natural hair and I'm so glad I stopped using "the creamy crack", lol. My hair is so healthy and much stronger than it has ever been before.

My own of story is the same. I've always had thick health hair (even when I was using the creamy crack). Every time I would go get my hair done all the beauticians would always compliment my hair.

Yor I don't know what went wrong this time, but my hair started falling out. I guess it was over processed and me doing my own perms didn’t help it either. I mean I would just run my fingers in my hair and my hair would just shed...come see me going crazy . I went to some beautician and paid I don't know how much money for some so called ‘treatment”...which was another chemical . I had this bald spot on the left side of my head...I had to bush the hair from the other side to cover it....just like those men lor do that are going bald . It was just HORRIBLE!!! Ask Sugar…she will tell you the crap I went through.

So I was like F-if...I ended up cutting just about all my hair off and started braiding it...at first I thought my hair won’t be strong enough to hold the braids since it was coming out, but I was wrong.

This was in 2002 and I’ve been natural ever since . I can’t see myself going back on the crack. I just press my hair if I want straight hair or get some tree braids.

See, so many stories I've heard start off the same way. I think it had a lot to do with people doing their own perms. That was what happened to me. I plan to just press it, too, if I want it straight. Braids make my hair grow fast. I hope you don't decide to cut your hair...it's beautiful.
