Hey! I found some big chop pics and plenty of other pics for your enjoyment. Come and check it out. I have been thinking about how to show my pics without everyone on the net being able to look or make rude comments, and Sistaslicks way is the best way. So thanks for the thought lol.
So, please contact me for a password, I will be more than happy to give it to you. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

Cmesweet, your hair looks great! Looks like you're making very good progess! Seeing thick, healthy looking natural hair always gives me the "urge" to transition, but I'm totally a big scaredy-cat!!  Anyway... keep up the good work...looking awesome ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

Hey your hair looks great! It's grown soo much and looks so healthy.
For lack of a better phrase 'Mashallah!' (That's Arabic, literally it
means 'whatever God wills' but is just used whenever something is
really good:) ) Hey, I just wanted to ask if anyone knew of a photo uploading thing online like Fotki but free? Heheh I don't have a credit card at the moment , but would like to put some pictures online. You ladies have inspired me to post all my hair pictures too! Thank you! |

fotki isnt free when you need to have a lot of pics on there. so what people do is delete old pics and replace with new ones. i got tired of doing that so i changed to myphotoa;bum.com. CME, PM me your p/word please  aseya.....is it Mashallah or Inshallah? ------------- |

Cmesweet AWWWW!!! I love your hair! It's so thick and full and just beautiful! It's funny because now at school I always gawk at the girls that wear their natural. And believe me, alot of women are going natural where I live at. I'm just a straggler!! ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

OT: I totally agree, Honeydoo. I see so many natural heads now everywhere I look..and it's all so beautiful! I was looking thru the current Fall Essence magazine and most of the women spotlighted or in advertisement had natural hair--fros, locks, twists, cornrows, etc. Gorgeous! Ahhhh....maybe one day! Anyway.... ------------- ~~ LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

I think it might all be part of the whole 'embracing yourself as you are' thing. Like the Dove Real Beauty campaign. People (and by people I mean the media:) ) are realising that they are setting impossible standards for women and that eventually we're going to rebel! Its happening, slowly, but hopefully we'll get there! |

Wow, you guys are soo sweet! Thanks for all the info, I'm going to have to decide where I wanna move my pictures. Renee- Mashallah is what you say when something is really nice or beautiful, etc..like 'wow you're hair looks GORGEOUS- Mashallah!' It actually is supposed to ward of the evil eye. But everyone just uses it as a compliment. Inshallah means 'God Willing'. So you say it when somethings going to happen. Like 'The wedding is on the 7th of October, Inshallah'. OR if you're like my dad, you can use it a 'maybe'. Like 'dad, may I please borrow your car?' "Inshallah" And that concludes our Arabic lesson of the day :) |

Thanks everyone, yeah I met alot of people in my city who wanted to know the first steps to going back to their natural texture. For some, they have been relaxed their whole life and would like to see what their hair will do without the chemical. For others, you just do it for the love of yourself. But I do understand that lots of people who relax do love themselves but like the look as an option for them, for others it's like a burden to even be born with brown skin let alone kinky hair.
So, don't be scared! Ya'll have us here for support. I know the road to transitioning isn't easy because it took me 2 times before I knew what I was suppose to do and actually didn't set myself up for expectations that I couldn't acheive. So thanks everyone, onceagain, for the compliments and for the Arabic lessons. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

Well sistaslick...some people transition after they have reached their goal of long hair..maybe you are one of those. But when it's calling you will answer, I'm sure. Your hair is beautiful still. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |
