Yes, I am still transitioning, but I have been also transitioning to the BC. What does this mean? This means that I have been transitioning my way to the BC by doing occasional “little” chops.
I have been doing to this for the last month and a half so I can have my mind completely wrapped around the concept of getting rid of my hair when I get it done at the end of the summer. I have been mainly wearing wash n' go ponytails and I will usually snip a little here or a little there (whenever the relaxed ends don't play well with the natural hair)
I have pictures of a 2nd day wash and go and several pictures that show the nape where most of the relaxed ends still remain. My brother/stylist says I should just leave it and wait until the back grows out a little more until I BC.
I just came from my brother's shop to show him the back part where it is straight and to see what method he was going to use when he cut it. When I got there, there was a lady already in the chair he was finishing up with and another waiting to get her weave finished up. When the 2nd lady finished, she sat in the chair. My brother went to get her hair so he could finish up. The lady kept looking across the room and almost fell out of her chair. I was turning around trying to see what she was looking. Then she says to my brother “I want to try some of that she has; what is it – Indian Remy?” My brother laughs and tells her “Man no, that's her hair and that's my sister”. The lady seemed semi-embarrassed and was trying to explain. I was laughing and the lady kept saying, “well I can usually tell b/c I look at the scalp, etc., etc.” When I stood up in front of his mirror to show him, she was still trying to break her neck to see if it was mine. I thought it was funny b/c when I was relaxed, I always had people to wonder it if were a weave, but I never thought anyone would think my natural hair was a weave. I'm flattered (because I was still a little perturbed that I had the frizzies going on, but I have come to love the "messy" look)
O.k. Here are the pics:
(don't worry about the lighting....I moved to another bathroom later)

So the final verdict is that I am STILL transitioning and hope to end my transition on September 17th. (I don't know how I came up with that day but I always said it would be at the end of the summer and I keep revisiting that date for some reason)
