I did it.... I love it..... Worth the wait

[lizzyb168]

So i did it. I chopped off my hair. I thought i would be more emotional but it felt good. Maybe it was because i was tired of my relaxed ends and the whole transitioning thing, i dont know, but i love my results.

For those who dont know, i started my transitioning journey in May 2009 and finished it today. Its been tough but worth it and to all those who are transitioning long term, I know its frustrating but its worth it!

Pics follow (Please excuse how big they are).

Congrats!

I am so upset with myself. Your hair is already longer than mine and I haven't had a relaxer since 2008. That heat didn't help me retain any growth.

Sorry to hijack your joy. Congrats again and I love the pretty texture.
