I Was Looking at my Work From Freshman Year And I Was Astonished At How Far I've Come. The First Picture is From March 15, 2015 and the Second Painting is From May of This Year. I, Along With my Work Have Progressed And Become So Much Greater Than I Thought Possible. I Am Much More Confident in What I Do and Within Myself. I Still Amaze Myself With The Work I Currently Have And With What I Have On the Way. Not All Of You Have Been With Me, But I Wouldn't Mind If You Came With Me The Rest of the Way. Let's See What Else I've Got Up my Sleeve! @hergivenhair #hergivenhairanniv

Took me the courage to post these pictures but looking at my process I just had to. First top left picture was from my freshman year in college and the last one was from last night! I been through HELL with my natural hair process. It all started with that damn perm I begged my mother to give me my 5th grade year and since then my hair has suffered from heat damage, severe loss, and stiffness. It wasn't until my 8th grade year I decided to go natural and cut half my hair off. From then it was still a battle with my hair. I never knew what to do with it especially during the awkward transitioning stage. It got to the point where I went back to my old ways and continued using so much heat on my hair and suffered again with damage. I believe it was my junior year I pledged to stop using heat and just continued with wearing protective styles. Every once and a while I'll blow dry my hair out to see the progress of my hair growth throughout the years. I decided to start taking pics of my hair my freshman year of college and since then my hair has prospered and even surpassed my expectations of what my hair could do! Everyone has their own journey to take when it comes to being natural it's one hell of a ride but so worth it in the end! I hope my journey inspires someone else as did those who came before me inspired me to keep pushing! My journey is still continuing with the 3 ingredients of natural hair PATIENCE, CONSISTENCY, AND CARE. #hergivenhairanniv
