3.5 Years Natural Hair Growth

Hola Chicas!! As promised, here are the rest of the pics from my semi-annual blow out in May of 2012. I'm so late in posting these, but better late than never, right? ....RIGHT! :) (Here is my hair immediately prior...basically a wash n go)

(Blown out before the trim....)

(I wanted it bone straight....)

(...But my hair said otherwise. Blade added more curls to stave off reversion..)

I won't straighten again until this fall, but I must say that I did stretch this blow out for about 3 weeks. That has NEVER happened before, and I did it using flexi rods and ponytails to keep the tension on the roots. As Blade would say, keeping natural hair straightened is "all about the tension." He ain't neva lied!! Smooches! Natasha
