Always love to know how many did the Big Chop.

These ladies especially need the encouragement because we are all trying to grow our hair healthy and long. To chop our hair off seems to go opposite of that goal, however when you are going back to your natural roots it is neccesary to get rid of the permed ends.

Whether a chopper ends up with 2 inches or 20 it is a huge step that should be celebrated.

So why not start a "shout out" thread about it!



Did the BC this year? Let us know here!!

I just did the BC today. I'm currently at 1 inch, the shortest I've ever worn my hair, but I'm happy for be all natural!

[pookeylou]

Hi, I did the BC in March of this year. I started off with 1/2 inch of hair, now I have 4 inches.

 

[sassygirl125]

I didn't BC, but I did get my hair evened out on Dec. 17th. I wanted to wait until my hair was longer. But I just woke up one day and was sick and tired of that fake puff. She didn't cut much--maybe an inch or two. But I can wear my hair out w/o looking like a cross between Don King and Krusty the Clown anymore.

Now my hair journey can finally begin!

BC'ed on November 15th and not looking back at all . I'm not exactly sure how much hair i have but i can say that it was much easier for me to do my finger coils last night so it must be growing . -- jainygirl

I am not natural, but texturized now. I had my last relaxer on June 1, 2003.

I didn't take it off all at once, but in 2004 I have cut 5.5 inches. The shortness was an adjustment, but it looks so much better now.

 

[naptrl]

I BC'd in August. I had about 2.5 inches and now I have about 6!! My hair is growin like crazy. I'm loving it.

 

[lovelyme]

I BC'd November 26 I started off with ¼ inch of hair, now I have 1 inch along the sides & 1½ inches up top

 

[HWAY]

I did the Big Chop in July. I did not measure it. My hair is growing but still short in the back.

 

[soontobenatural]

I did a "not so" BC on 9/21 (the first day of Fall), after transitioning for a year!!!!!

 

[Peachtree]

I didn't do a "BIG" chop, but I did cross over to "naturaldom"

....I'm NEVER using relaxers again...

 

[candibaby]

WOO! all this beautiful natural hair!

 

[LadyZ]

I did it in May because of severe breakage from serious hair damage.

 

[Cindy70]

I did the BC in March 2004 and then went back to relaxing 3 months later. I had a good experience doing it... it got me back to my roots I might do it again in the future....

 

[CORBINS]

[pookeylou]

Any more new choppers?

 

[Mermaid0684]

I did one on January 7, 2005. I went from about bra-strap length to above shoulder length. I did it because my hair was uneven and to end the war on the breakage. I'm glad I did it!
