SOOOOOOOOOOOO.........You read it RIGHT! I am 100% natural as of today! When I woke up this morning I had ZERO intentions of cutting my hair, BUT the spirit moved me to go ahead and let the rest go, so I did!

When I announced my transition back in August, I told myself that I was going to rid myself of the remaining relaxed ends on 02.15.12 - my bday...but after I did the first mini-chop, I told myself I was going to cut the rest of the relaxer out on 07.04.11...see, I wanted to chop on a date that has some kind of significance, like New Year's or something...anyway, I couldn't wait any longer!

I'm ready to start focusing on growth again and as long as I'm holding on to relaxed ends, I can't do that.

Now that the relaxed ends are GONE I can get back to my growth journey!

Ironically, my hair is about the same length as it was when I started growing my hair out back in 2007 - a full shoulder length - nearing arm-pit length.

I transitioned for 2 years, 1 month & 4 days.

My hair had grown past my armpits. Yesterday I cut off the whole lot! It will grow back though so not worried. It was very liberating actually

[katherlopez]

wait so when your hair grows out the relaxed hair from the roots are pushed to the ends?

I love that SHIRT. You were itching to chop it off I can tell LOL. I am 100% natural, transitioned for a year but still have short shrunken hair, but I'd like to thank you for all the women you encourage. We are growing in numbers! Thanks for the role that you have played in that. I am just finding your channel btw if I had found it a 14mths ago I would still be transitioning. Thanks again for what you are doing for the natural community.

[daisychick08]

You are an inspiration. YOur hair is beautiful i can't even begin to explain! It's so nice to see black women embracing the beauty that god gave them. I have been relaxing and damaging my hair for far too long now, I'm starting a new lifestyle! I encourage everyone to do so.
