Took out my cornrows, washed and did a trim. Cut off about 2 inches. I think I should be able to make it to July.

Congratulation, I know you said you had 1-1/2 inch left but it does not look like it in your avatar. Look good!

yeah the 1 1/2 inches is only in the front and it is overpowered by the natural so it all curls up when dry

How is everyone doing?

I had somewhat of a setback his past week. My hair started shedding out of nowhere. And then I had some single strand knows (I know why though, and it wont happen again) so I feel kinda bleh with all of my all of my searching and destroying and all of my shedding this week.

And today was a bad hair day. But this too shall pass.

 

[Grand Prix]

Glad to see everybody's doing so well!!

I haven't had time to check in, but I made 17 months post.
Can't believe I've only got one month to go.. That would be the plan, anyway.
I'm so happy to have this thread. It's made my transition so much easier!

i'm chopping tonight... i'll add pictures tomorrow!

So excited for you!!

 

[cch24]

hi ladies!!! that was THE most anticlimactic big chop ever. i'm glad that i'm fully natural though. i chopped late last night, and slept in conditioner. since it's a school day i didn't test my natural styling abilities just yet... so my hair is in a bun (as usual). i hope i get to play around with it this weekend. OH, and i'm definately a 3b/c/4a mix.

so here's a picture of just the nape chopped, and two pictures of my bun today!

17.5 months was well worth it. good luck to the rest of you during your journey!

Congratulations!!
Your hair looks so pretty!

I'm surprised that you can already pull it unti a bun after 17 months.
I thought that would only be enough to make a teeny tiny ponytail.
Do you happen to have measured your hair?

 

[mrsjohnson75]

Thank you so much! I haven't measured with a ruler, but I can stretch the nape to a little past collarbone and the very front of my hair I can stretch to my lips.

Hope that helps!

I put in some twists. I love how they look (well, the natural part). These are a much better alternative to braids, which tend to look like scalpy on me. In the process of redoing some twists, I got a chance to see how my natural hair looks with twist out - so excited!
