My Transition is over...PIC HEAVY

Hey All,

I decided to end my transition. I just came to the conclusion that my relaxed ends were never going to be what I wanted them to be regardless of how much I trimmed. They were just thinning and disgusting. So I figured, why not start out the new year as a natural. I am so excited...I feel so great and I just can't stop playing in my hair. I have some pics for you guys as well.

This is from my length check I did the day before yesterday...I was full waist length and getting close to hip length. My hair grows pretty fast so I am not concerned with the loss of length....

This is my hair right after I washed it, I was just about to begin cutting. :grin:

This is my curl in the back..please excuse the back acne. I know it is horrible, but I have been having a really hard time getting rid of it.

This is my hair stretched to BSL. I am very happy with this as a length. My bra strap sits low since I have bigger boobs, so my hair grown a lot in two years. From scalp to 2yrs is BSL. I am pretty happy with that.:grin:

Basically the twist I was putting my hair in to section and cut...

I am over the moon excited and can't wait to play in my hair. I love it so far and it was the best decision. :yep:
 
Congratulations!

I'm trying to wait until later in the year before BCing - but all the BC threads are making it mighty, mighty hard :spinning:

Your are doing a long term transition as well, right? sipp100. For some reason, I think I remember that you are! Good Luck with your transition and when will you BC?
 
Wow! Congrats on a successful long transition! You look fabulous!!!:)

Is my siggy showing up? Anyways, I've been transitioning for 32 months. The hair behind my ears is natural and BSL, but the crown has 5" of relaxed hair on the ends. I like all my hair to be the same length all the way around, so I refuse to cut the crown and front. I've got "layer-phobia" lol

Only problem with this phobia is that I'll have to cut 5" of perfectly good natural hair in the back when I finally BC - the only way to avoid natural layers :sad:

I may need an intervention :lachen:
 
CONGRATS AND WELCOME TO CLUB NATURAL!!!!!!!! :yay:

I am so excited to be fully natural. To be honest, you recent pics helped me to take the plunge. Only because you are at BSL and your hair is lovely. I figured BSL was a great place to start my fully natural journey! :grin:
 
WOWZERS!!

Your hair is absolutely stunning! Also a huge inspiration, I am nearly a year post BC (11 months and nearly SL) and I can't wait to get where you are!!!
