hey all! i've been slacking on LHCF for a bit, but i just wanted to announce...
that i did my BIG CHOP!!
i thought i was going to wait to transition an entire year... but after washing my hair, thinking i was going to flat-iron it straight, & having my relaxed ends laugh at my attempts to detangle, i went ahead and chopped those bad boys off!! i transitioned for exactly 6 months: last relaxer: 9/5/09, BC: 3/5/10
now i'm on team Natural, and i LOVE IT!!!
still rocking my wig every now & then, but i'm LOVING my TWA stage. funny thing though: my hair stretches out to almost 3", but it shrinks up to about 3/4 of an inch. i have over 100% shrinkage, i think
type? pssh! i have NO idea! as you can see in my siggy, i have coilies, but it all kind of shrinks up.
i'll admit, i did cry my eyes out after chopping the first lock of hair, but the rest came easy. cutting my hair was the most liberating feeling ever. now off to grow it back out!!!
just wanted to share
