I just started wearing my hair in its natural state in May of this year (2010). My last relaxer was March of 2010, and i transitioned for only two months until i got digusted with the two textures and did the big chop at the end of May. To my surprise my hair is growing pretty fast! I'd say almost an index finger long. I'm a Wife, a Mother to 5 kids and a Cosmetologist. I'm currently a stay-at-home mom. That's all for now, thanks :)
