The Mane Story


January 2007


In January 2007 was my first progress picture. I dyed my hair to golden blonde (using the Dark N Lovely). For my high school graduation I dyed it black using L'Oreal Colour Pulse and my hair broke off severely. Now 6 months later I made an attempt to redye my hair back to golden blonde. My length is a little past shoulder length and you see the see-thru ends.

After learning how to do the Baggy Method, I used this technique from Jan 07 - Apr 07. This was my first 3-months stretch and I self-relaxed my own hair using Motions - Herbal Salon Relaxer in mild. My hair was still partially damp in the back from the baggy which caused a major set back.

Still recovering from set back                                       Still recovering from the set back but I did
and using an ayurvedic regimen.                                             achieve some decent length. 

















October 2008 (BIG CHOP)

I finally decided to big chop and start over fresh with my hair. For style purposes, appearances, and knowing hair does grow back. It was best for me to cut my hair evening and start over with healthy hair. 









March 2009 (APL YAY!!!!)

From Feb to March I had amazing, healthy set of hair. I got kinda heat - happy, always wanting to show off my length. I experience breakage that was extreme but enough to notice that I need to put the heat away.
