2 years natural and loving it !!!!!!

My last relaxer was Jan 15, 2012. I m 23 months post relaxer and my hair is growing. I My hair only grow 4-5 inches per year, but I am retaining all my length.  I washed, blow dried, flat ironed my hair, and clip the ends and here are my results. I did use heat protectant. I couldn't get the ends to be straight for the life of me so I just left it alone.

Half straighten hair. My hair shrinks a lot.

Hawaii's Diamond head hike

I am living in Hawaii for the time being and I am enjoying the island for the time being. I went to the diamond head state park  in Honolulu and it was breath taking and beautiful. The hike was a historic military lookout area. At the top of the hike there is a beautiful view of the ocean and Waikiki. I enjoyed the hike very much. Being in nature is relaxing and I forget about my problems while I was there.  It was a easy hike. I even see people with canes doing the hike. Just make sure you wear sneakers, carry a bottle of water, and a camera. There is a $5 parking for your vehicle.
