(Pics, pics, pics) After 18 months of transitioning I finally big chopped!

[Uniqzoe]

I don't post that often here but I wanted to share my big chop with you. My last relaxer was in August of 09, the month that I started grad school. I have been slowly trimming off the ends. I must say that I have enjoyed my transition for the most part. There were tough periods of course but nothing a set of braids, twist or a weave couldn't handle.

My original plan was to Chop close to my birthday in May but this week was just too much. I couldn't take it anymore so I have decided to let chop.

Here are the pictures.
