I don't post that often here but I wanted to share my big chop with you. My last relaxer was in August of 09, the month that I started grad school. I have been slowly trimming off the ends. I must say that I have enjoyed my transition for the most part. There were tough periods of course but nothing a set of braids, twist or a weave couldn't handle.

My original plan was to Chop close to my birthday in May but this week was just too much. I couldn't take it anymore so I have decided to let chop.

Here are the pictures.

I can't believe how cute your styles were during your transition. I was all when I tried to wear my hair out.

Congrats on your BC! It looks great.

So pretty! Thanks for sharing. Looks like your transition was a fabulous success! I can't wait to rid myself of my last 2 inches of relaxed hair.
