CKISS,
Guuuuurl, u keep me rollin'
! I'll hit u up on the pm a lil later
Thanks Pebs
I would have NEVER thought that I would cut so much so fast.
But then again, I would have NEVER thought I'd go natural either. Guts, yep, I got sum
!
Allandra, see, I told u in that "where's Peachtree thread" that I had something "shocking" to reveal
...
Stormy, it was gonna be shorter but hubby started trippin'
! Then again, I'm glad he stopped me cuz I almost forgot that I needed to leave enough length for nice sized buns
Ms Jennifer, yeah, I surprised my family too.
But they're soooo happy that I'm not relaxing anymore.... between their luv & the luv on this board, I'm sure that I'll achieve my goals
.
Hey Lindy
Nope, I didn't save it... Hope this makes sense.... I emotionally "let go" of the relaxed hair... my heart is now solely on my natural hair. (I would have NEVER thought I would feel this way). Anywho.... I still have plenty of pics... a lot of which I haven't posted onto my album.
I see it this way... I cut off much of the relaxed hair to make way for the stronger, definitely more beautiful natural hair
. I can't wait to show off those pics when I'm totally natural
Honi, yeah, initially I was gonna trim as I grew. But then I thought about it.
I'm gonna cut out the relaxer once my natural hair reaches shoulder length.... that's close to 2 yrs.... why con't to care for the longer relaxed strands when I'm gonna cut them anyway? Shhhhhoot, I'd rather keep that money in my wallet. Although I'm "hair frugal", the maintenance cost (products) was still putting a nice lil dent in my wallet. Now I can save about half of the cost
I'M OVERJOYED ABOUT THAT
!!!!!!!
Thanks AFASHIONSLAVE

U feel me, don't u? It takes a lot of work (time, money, will power) to maintain all of that hair. Don't get me wrong ladies, it's wonderful to have.... & I plan to have longer lengths again being natural. Just preparing sum of y'all!!!!

Hi LONGHAIRGOAL
I didn't donate this time cuz my cut was more like small trims. However, I did donate about 20" of braided hair to "Locks of Love" during my senior yr in college (goodness that was over 8 yrs ago)... anywho, that's when I cut it to a "Halle" do (like she worn in "Strickly Business"). I was really proud of that!
Auntybe, U CAN DO IT LUV
. A lot of time, patience, plenty of self assurance & water (for moisturing of course
)... IT CAN BE DONE.... the ladies here are proof
.
Lala, that was my reason for keeping a relaxer... cuz my natural hair was too thick & too unmanageable (post relaxer). Then I found the RIGHT products for my hair..... WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT HAS MADE
.
Now, my natural hair is WAYYYYYYY more manageable than the relaxed strands. I NEVER thought that would be possible... although my mom never had a problem with my natural hair (pre-relaxer)...
LAFEMMENIGRITA.... "hair goddess"... oh geez! I'm not on "that" level yet
. But thanks for the honor
Thanks TracyAnnette
Yes, luv, I'm VERRRRY EXCITED
! I feel like a tremendous weight has been lifted off .... What a wonderful feeling
.... NO TURNING BACK NOW
!!!!!
Thanks MissM
Yeah, BEWARE OF CARAMELKISS.... she'll have u like this
!!!!
I know that I didn't respond to quite a few of posts... but don't worry, I read each & every one of them
. But what's more important is the incredible feeling of luv, encouragement & smiles that I've absorbed from each post. I can not stress enough the joy I get from being on this board... It's overwhelming.... It's wonderful
Thanks again ladies... I look forward to sharing more of my transitional journey with u all
.
Peace, I'm outta here!
