Natural H.air

So I've been DYING for a new hairdo for a really long time now.  I'm about a year and 8 months into my natural hair journey, did the big chop May of 2009.  It was my second big chop, the first didn't go so well because I honestly didn't do my research about taking care of my natural hair so it was nappy as heck.  So the second time around I did read up on it and made myself aware of some of the  natural hair gurus on the internet right now.  So this time around it is going much better, though I think my hair growth has been stunted by the stress I experienced in 2010 and my not being able to handle it as much as I'd like.

So while browsing around I came across some pictures of GORGEOUS natural ladies.  I think I found what I'm going to get done so look out for a post on that.

    I love these looks Mo...so many great ideas that I might try! I think I told you this before but I'm obsessed with the Carol's Daughter hair products and they have really helped my hair grow out after my big chop....One of these days I'll take some pics of my natural hair and maybe blog about it too :)
