:yep: I Finally Did It Gurls!!! YIPPPEEEEEEEE!!!!!

I have to put "BC" in quotes because the longest amount of hair I chopped was maybe 5 inches. But it was still significant.:grin:

Okay, so my last texlax was August 07. On June 5, 2009 I "BC"d.
Here's my journey/progress report from last month: http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=361685&highlight=progress+report

I'm so happy to be natural, even though I still have more to snip away.

I posted the full story and all the pix on my blog (http://longnaturalhair.blogspot.com), but here are a few!

BEFORE:

This Morning (WET, Washed with V05, Scrunched with Cantu and Mousse):

(you can see that theres more to snip throughout)

DRYing, but not 100% there yet:

(disregard the face please haha)

And the back....I was LMAO when I saw those lil danglers at the bottom....

All in all, the cut is laughable and I'll definitely get it shaped up by mike soon. It seems to be drying into a pyramid, not a good look. BUT, I love it nonetheless:yep: I'm so happy and somehow...relieved to have chopped those scraggly ends off.

It's a whole new ball game now!! I's Natchal Now!!

I'll post some more pics of how it looks fully dried as well as how it looks after I trim some more of the rogue texlaxed bits off.

Whatcha think?

*********************UPDATE***************************


So here are some of the dry photos.
You can see the need to keep snipping.
It's VERY uneven. (i still love it)

Oh Whimsy! I gasped when I read the title of your thread! But I must say your hair is still beautiful, thick, and shiny! I love your new length. It really looks good on you!!!
 
Thanks you guys!!!! :grin:

HAHAHA Yessss I'm glad you noticed hahaha. The tags on people's threads always get so crazy and mine are always normal and related to the thread... I figured I'd spice it up a bit.

Ive been waiting for your chop for a minute. Congratulations you look beautiful.

YOU? I've been waiting too!!! :) thank you.

Beautiful and you transitioned FOREVER, lol.

Ummmm, wow at the tags.

LMAO @ the tags. Well, I was going for 2 years....I almost made it :spinning:
 
Very beautiful. You have gorgeous, healthy curls. I can't believe you aren't one of US (transitioners) anymore. If youc an, I am sure I speak for all of us when I say that you coming in the thread will continue to help us.
 
I like the shape of your hair.
I cant wait to see how your curl/wave pattern turns out as time goes on.
 
Girl you are making me want to go grab the scissors and do the doggone thang!!!!

I did a wash and go this morning and as I was putting product in it, I was really tired of having to "scrunch" the relaxed ends to make them do their thing!:wallbash: I kept looking in the mirror and almost picked up the phone to let my brother know that I was coming up to get the relaxed ends cut off! (I'm too chicken to do it myself) (this summer was my target date to get it done anyway). I am looking at your hair and I really have the urge to do it now more than ever.

Your hair is still beautiful and I know you feel free!!!!! Don't forget to post pics when it's completely dry; can't wait to see them.
