Anyone thinking of Big Chopping by end of 2010?

[Smiley79]

I am only three months post and I think I have only about an inch of new growth I am torn between continuing the transition or doing the BC. Last year, I got to month 10 and gave into the relaxer, I do not want to repeat that. The BC could better keep me on one track, and I sort of do look forward to the adventure of growing out natural hair from scratch. (remind me to get a life, lol). Anyways, I was just wondering if anyone else is thinking about doing an end of year BC as well.

I'm with ya. I'm about 7.5 months in and am contemplating doing the bc on 12/31. I'm trying to make it to May 2011, but I don't know. The only thing that scares me is how short it might be and how I'll look.

I've been toying with the idea of cutting off the relaxed ends in January...I'd be 19 months post...

I am thinking about cutting the relaxed end also.

Wow, you all blow me wayyyyy behind. You have been transitioning for quite some time. That would be a well deserved big chop. But I agree with the poster above in saying that I too am afraid of how I'll look with an inch of hair. I really don't want that to discourage me but it concerns me quite a bit.

I'm almost 17 months post and I've been seriously thinking about chopping before the end of the year even though I was trying to make it 'til May. Lately I've been thinking about chopping because my ends are so stringy but I'm still on the fence because my hair is a lot shorter in the front for some reason. I need to at least be able to put my hair in a ponytail comfortably.

Yeah, I'll be 5 months post by then and I'm tired of the 2 textures. I'm definitely doing it. I just need to figure out how to take care of my TWA in the winter.

 

[Smiley79]

Good for you all...Im so proud you all lasted that long in the transition.

@ DD: I was thinking the same thing with this winter...I may be heading to Chicago this winter and that last thing I want is a TWA in the brick cold Windy City, LOL.

I want to be able to put my hair in a ponytail and not have to struggle. I'm 11 months post and not thinking about BC'ing yet

i honestly thought about it maybe christmas eve new years day etc. i want the day to be somewhat memorable. i have relaxed hair left but its nothing to brag about i definately had some sort a breakage. but all in all my hair is in good condition and i can survive until may. so right now i may do it at the end of the year or 2011 we shall see. i also want to be able to put my hair in a bun. im aiming for more length and i want my ng to be longer b4 i cut.

I have been thinking about it. My goal is to go until Jan 3 which will be 18 months, but I may just do it new years eve to have fresh start for the new year. It's not like 3 days will make a difference.

I did my first BC in October and decided to cut it ALL off yesterday. Hehe. I am bald now.

You are so hard core!

I've been thinking about it as well. I'll be a full year post if so. The only thing that's stopping me is that I live in Chicago. =_=V The winters here are way to brutal for me. If not, Imma try to keep going until the end of March. In time for spring...

I am still contemplating I might do it because these two textures are no joke! I'll be 5 months post in december. I just need more guts
