So laugh and enjoy and post your own so I dont feel so stupid! :flower:

In the photos where I was about 6 or 7 and the one where I was 12 my hair was cut off to try to get rid of the waves and curls as they were "to much hassel" for my dad.
Then the ones of me older was where I got caught out on holiday. (Ive always blow dried my hair straight or used irons so theres not many pics of me with natural hair.)
Then the last is what my hairdresser thought would look good for my wedding!!!!!!!!!

I used to brush my curly hair and then pull half of it back so it didn't look so thick. I also had terrible hat hair when i was in the military.:puker: It is in much better shape now that i know how to take care of it.

HERE is my before and after thread. Much improved, I think. (:
After, but only three days CG. My hair is clipped on top and it took about 4 hours to dry. It's also a bit longer than the pre CG picture which was taken last Oct:
I got a hair cut and he put lots of short layers in it. It curls up OK with the shorter layers but I'm anxious to see how it looks after it has grown 3 or 4 inches:

Leave In: BioInfusion Rosemary Mint Cond
Love ACV Rinses!
Sometimes use Dove Therapy Cool Mint for clarifying
Aussie Sydney Smooth Gel for frizzies
My hairhates FOTE and is protein sensitive
The first one was taken in HS right after i got it chemically straightened. Yikes! It ruined my hair! The second one is a few months later when the effect began to wear off. The third was my junior year of HS when my natural curl was beginning to come back, I just didn't know how to care for it. The fourth was a few months ago after I got 6 inches cut off (wish I had never done it!) and had to straighten it because it curled up way too short. And the fifth one was taken last week before I started CG

Oh yes! I have one of those short cuts too! It was good for about 2 days after it was cut but as soon as it started growing in it became a hair helmet. This was taken right after a cut. I really wanted this look to work for me!
Glad I wasn't alone. My boyfriend called it "snap-on lego" hair. LOL

I know this is an embarrassing pic gallery, but what am I doing wrong. I am seriously amazed at the after pics I've seen on this site.
Do you use special CG products? I was using suave with only so-so results. I don't have a lot of $$ to spare.
Also, I'm trying to grow out my hair and I'm still unsure of what cuts are flattering now (I got lots of complements on my curly bob) so it's trial and error for the forseeable future.
Thanks for the help!
