The Relaxed Days

These pics are just to show my past "hairstory" prior to my endarkenment. Sorry for the size and poor quality of the photos, but I think you'll still get the idea!

Well, it's quite obvious that this is on my wedding day, November 11, 1989.  My hair then, was damaged mostly in the front due to my "experiment" of putting hydrogen peroxide on my bangs to lighten them.  Yes, they lightened, but started breaking too!

This is me in beauty school ('94)  with one of my classmates.  My hair here was cut short and shaved in the back.  I did this because my hair got damaged and broken off from using RIO!

My husband and me around '95.  This was a serious weave! Underneath the weave, I was growing out of the style in the previous photo.

Well, this is around '96 as my hair started  growing out of the short cut.  I LOVED this Bob back then.

This is me around '97 with latch-hook braids.

Here I am in my former in-home shop, Crowning Glory Hair Designs.  I was sporting the "pumped up waves" (you know... the hard, crunchy stuff!).  This had to be somewhere around '97/98.

In this photo, I was on my way to church.  I was pregnant with Leah so this had to be around '98.  

This is in '99 taken at my 10 year high school reunion.  As you can see, my hair had grown a great deal over the years.  In this photo, I had it in crimps (burned a great deal of it out when I did this style!)

And this is me...today! Not literally today, but as I look in 2006 with my beautiful locs!
