How Long Did You Keep Your "Relaxed" Hair Before BCing???

[NYLegalNewbie]

I'm just curious...

For those of you who are transitioning...how long did you keep your relaxed hair before you cut it off?

Did you do a sudden chop once you had enough new growth?

Or did you trim the relaxed ends off gradually until they were all gone?

Six months - and then I was so ready to see my hair in its natural state I chopped it all off.

I thought I was cute, but looking back at the photos I looked a hot mess.

I transitioned for 23 months, gradually trimming the relaxed hair off.

I transitioned for about 2.5 years. Of course this was before I found this site so I didn't really know what I was doing. I just kept getting trims. I cut the remains of the relaxed ends off last october.

Never transitioned. Relax one day, BC 4 weeks later.

Sudden chop yes. New growth, not really. Had about .4" N.G.
