    :love: I had some loc extensions put in in March and just had them taken out 2 weeks ago. My hair is wonderful and I don't have to spend time worrying after my workouts or when I go to bed at night or when I get up in the mornings! I am so happy with my decision to have locs and I won't ever look back. I think of my new hairstyle as a part of my transformation from couch potato and dowdy to fit, healthy, and actively involved in life!

    It's so good to see so many natural sistas on this site. My pic is old. I actually have locs now via loc extensions. I've been natural for over a year and love every minute of it.

    My b/c was June 2009. I have not looked back. I absolutely, positively know it was the right decision for me. I do have naturally wavy hair, so I tend to do wash n go styles. I have so much versatility and I finally took swimming lessons last year! I can swim! I never wanted to swim because of my hair...I was not going to get my hair wet, while spending money at the beauty shop every week.

    My journey continues as I am still working on length in my hair and reduction in my body.

    Feel free to add me as a friend...I'm still kinda new to mfp :flowerforyou:

    Hey everyone! I'm new to MFP but I've been natural for 3yrs. I LOVE it. I still have some hair goals along with fitness goals. But I have been enjoying my journey at each stage.

    I've been. Natural for about 12 yrs now. I usually just wear a close cut. I've had locs too. I'm growing it out right now though.

    Hi..I've been natural for 12+ years now. Had locs for 10 years and cut them off (kicking myself for that one). Growing my hair back now. I tried twist extensions but due to surgery, I started losing some hair. So now I have to make sure I eat properly for my hair to grow back. I also take vitamins and supplements for my body and my hair. So to me, both natural hair care and healthy bodies go hand in hand.

    I've been natural since February of this year. I transitioned for 23 months and my hair journey is separate from my weight loss journey.

    Been on my natural hair journey 15 months. I have been using MFP for 7 months. It's still difficult for me to manage my hair with regular work-outs. I am using protective styles mostly to keep my hair looking presentable.

    I did the BC in 7/2012 and probably won't turn back. It makes working out so much easier and with a child I have zero time to fool with hair in the mornings!
