Omg....i Just Did The Big Chop!

[nurseN98]

I can't believe I did it!!! A whole month early than I was planning to do it. I just couldn't take it anymore. Last night I was detangling some awful, horrendous knots, I was getting pissed and yelling at my hair. My hubby goes "why don't you just cut it and be done with it?" So I say well, I'm gonna wait until May. He just looked at me and laughed

After I was done and did my twists, I was thinking about. When I woke up this morning I was thinking about it saying I should stick to my plan. But I read DSD's thread about her daughter chopping and the threads on Mkstar826, Babyblue and Netta1.....all very beautiful and inspirational. So I said 'what the heck' and just chopped. Hubby is going to be very surprised when he gets home... I'm on my way to Walmart for some headbands... I'm gonna buy like, 500 of them....

I gotta just say I feel wonderful. My 18 month transition is finally over :bouncegre :creatures

Here are my pics I hope I linked it right, if not go in through the one below

Congrats Nurse!!!



You need to be for not cutting off those relaxed ends sooner!!! You had all that pretty natural hair under there just waiting to BREATH! LOL I don't know many ppl that transitioned for as long as they said they would. I was trying for eighteen months, and I ended up chopping 2 months before. Towards the end, you just get sick of it! Congrats on the puff too, you know that's been my thing this week!
