I cannot believe over 365 days have passed with me having true hair freedom. Yes folks, I finally made it to my 1yr anniversary and I can't be happier. I must first thank the WONDERFUL Paulette (Detroit Consultant) who got me off to a wonderful start. For those of you who don't already know I drove from the Chi to the D faithfully for maintanence for 8 mos. I was just so afraid of letting someone else get into my head after Paulette had me off to such a wonderful start. My hair was doing fine and I was starting to feel comfortable with the idea of finding a consultant in Chi. Well, GOD must have been on my side because I was able to get in with the WONDERFUL Beverly Credelle. She picked up where Paulette left off and the rest is history. I'm telling you, I truly feel like I hit the jackpot with both of these ladies. Meaning, I didn't have to experience anything horrible with my consultant or worst of all being unhappy with my hair. Kudos to both. This 1yr Journeeey w sl's has had more up's than down. I can go on forever about the up's but write about one down (dandruff). I'm still learning how to control it but other than that oh and those permed ends (that were cut after 3mos) my journeeey has been peaceful. I really wished I had done this years ago. Ok, now to the photos.

What a difference a year makes. pic 2 left is 1st week & 2 the right 1yr.

3mos & 1yr!

8 mos & ...u guessed it, 1 yr. As u can see....my hair began to sprout between the 5th & 8th month.

I usually wore my hair freestyle most of the time. However, I did attempt at styling every now and then with a twist on the side or curls.

loving it nappy! Candace....1 yr & counting.
