July of 2010 with rag waves -
http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj20/Perfect_Ana_Girl/TLHC/IMG_6498-1.jpg

I said it in my album but pleas eexcuse the poor lighting and lack of a bum ;). My hair was honestly shinier than that but thats what hapens when you have to wait for someone else to take your picture lol. For referance in the second photo the bottom of the shirt is about tailbone so if you factor in the breeze blowing my ends I was close. Ive since reached tailbone but havent taken any pics :(. I plan to once ive given myself a trim and a nice SMT or oil treatment.

And I wouldnt forget to send some love and :flowers: to Serious for reminding me of the importance of progress pics :D. ~ Natalia

Thanks Cindy :). I could feel the progress back when I took the photo but ive kind of been in a stall since so I dont think the next one will be as satisfying. I am glad i have photos to compare though rather than just feelings.

You rag waves are gorgeous, they look natural! Even without obvious shine you can see your hair is healthy by the way it falls. :cool:

Thanks Firefox7275 :flower: . At first i though they were too small to look natural but once i saw the picture i felt more confidant about them. When i went out that day i kept ketting the "your hair looks like Taylor Swift" comment lol.

[Lippytoes]

Wow, well done on the level of growth! The colour and texture of your hair are lovely - with or without the rag waves! (they do look stunning though!) Doesn't matter about lack of progress pics - it makes the contrast in length really dramatic!

[Pumpkin]

[Natalia]

Thank you! Hadnt even thought of that lol

Oh i wish i were more than an "i" i guess im better at hiding the thiness than i thought i was..yay! The rag waves were from an article on here. I was going for more big waves but with my thin hair i couldnt make it happen so im glad the little waves look good :).



Wow tons of beautiful growth! Congratulations :). It looks long, thick, and healthy...a great combination!

Ahh "thick" what a spectacularly wonderful compliment for a fine/thin head. I swoooooon :p

I'll take some and thank you! Being here has made me much less embarassed about my roots showing so that snice to hear you think the color is pretty.


Very pretty, you have inspired me to now try rag waves : )

Cool! I hope you like them. Mine are made from 1 1/2 inch scrap cotton fabric if that helps you any but im sure whatever you ave around will work fine. Good luck!

[CaityBear]

I loove your hair! It's so gorgeous and the waves are amazing. They look very natural. That's the type of hair I wish I could have naturally...I can't even get that type of wave if I try haha it lasts about 5 seconds.

And your hair growth is really good too. :)

[Starr]

Absolutely beautiful! You've made some excellent progress!

Hi CaityBear :). Thank you for the compliments! The weaving took a long time but it was worth it. When i heat styled i had terrible luck getting anything to stay in my hair, wet rolling worked ok but this worked the best of anything yet. They did get frizzy by end of day but i thinki could remedy that if i did soem gel or aloe next time.

[spidermom]

Have I commented before? Don't remember. Those are seriously gorgeous rag waves! I want some!

[iluvkorn]

simply beautiful!! and i, too, love the rag waves.

[MonaLisa]

I like both pictures! It looks really stunning! /drool

[MissManda]

Beautiful, beautiful hair! :) It looks like you've gained a lot of thickness as well as length! Congratulations!

[fairystar32]

You have beautiful hair:love:

[RocketDog]

Your hair is phenomenal!! I love everything about it, the color, texture, the hemline and little shorter side wispies... just GORGEOUS!!

[aurorabridge]

Your hair looks beautiful. :)

[carabean]

So inspiring...thanks for sharing these!

[ooo]

Your hair was already beautiful at the beginning. The growth and how healthy it looks now is really inspiring.

[Cirafly24]

It seems like everyone else has said it all, so I had to go to the thesaurus to be original :D

Your hair is pulchritudinous!!!

[Tressie]

Wonderful progress and beautiful hair!! I love your waves! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing~ :blossom:

[Nae]

Wow. That is some fantastic hair!

[Natalia]

Sending some more thanks out at ya all :). It really makes me feel more confidant in my hair. I thought the rag waves was a so-so picture but knowing so many of you find it pretty makes me want to wear it down more often even if i dont think its perfect that day :).

[summerjade]

Both of your pictures are beautiful!! You have lovely hair. Thank you for the inspiration!!

[julliams]

Absolutely lovely. What method did you use for the rag waves?
