"Feature" update: Yep, chop, chop, IT'S GONE!

Re: \"Feature\" update: Yep, chop, chop, IT\'S GONE!

Peachtree, you are certainly one of the most beautiful people on here (inside and I'm sure out too). Your posts are always so positive, cheery... Such perker-uppers! You are an inspiration not just to transitioners, but also to relax-ers and naturals alike! And what good timing this chop was.
smile.gif
-- I'm glad you waited until your latest picture was nicely framed in "Feature of the Month", so that it'll serve as an inspiration to all who doubt such goals are reachable, and a "promise" for you, as you re-start the journey, that you WILL get there again. I am so proud of you.
clap.gif


May you always have the glowing spirit you have today and may you always find what you seek. You deserve to be happy always for you certainly make others happy, almost with no deliberate effort on your part (it seems). Thanks for making my day, yet again.

Re: \"Feature\" update: Yep, chop, chop, IT\'S GONE!

I had a friend who did this..she was WELL PAST waist length and donated 2 12" braids...I was pround of her, and I'm sure she made someone VERY happy!
 
Re: \"Feature\" update: Yep, chop, chop, IT\'S GONE!

Girls, unfortunately, I am experiencing a financial crisis; and I have not been to my stylist in over three (3) weeks. I hate to ask her to do it for free. My hair looks horrible-all thick and dry....what a difference a good conditioner can make....I have been wearing a bun for the past three weeks, and my scalp is itching like crazy....I thought about doing it myself, but I just do not have the get up to do it.

I can understand that...there is no way you can do your hair yourself at all? Please don't cut your hair...borrow money or something, but please don't cut it.

BTW...how long did it take for you to grow your hair to that length? Would you try to grow it out again?

Peachtree:

I know you are enjoying your "new" hair. I am happy for you. I wish I could grow my natural hair the length your hair was.

Re: \"Feature\" update: Yep, chop, chop, IT\'S GONE!

Peachtree - I'm happy for you. I wish I could be relaxer-free. I tried to grow it out, but my hair was so thick and unmanageable, I couldn't stand it. Pre-relaxer my hair was never so difficult to manage.

You have already proven that you can wear beautiful long relaxed hair and I'm sure that your natural hair is even more awesome! I never reached anywhere near the length you've attained but as a former relaxer gone natural I can testify to being in love with my natural tresses. Can't wait to see your pics!

Me too!

Congratulations girl!

Re: \"Feature\" update: Yep, chop, chop, IT\'S GONE!

I can't believe you did it. But I believe it is for the best. Natural hair is so much stronger and being chemical-free seems to be liberating. I once tried to transition but after the 3rd month, I broke down and got a relaxer. I know that you will be happy about this.
 
Re: \"Feature\" update: Yep, chop, chop, IT\'S GONE!

shocked.gif
Wow your so brave!
notworthy.gif

Im proud of you though. Good luck with your transition. I know your hair will be as beautiful natural as it is relaxed.
 
Re: \"Feature\" update: Yep, chop, chop, IT\'S GONE!

See you have to watch CarmelKiss, that chick will inspire you to do just about anything!!! She inspired me to keep chopping away at my "V" until the rest of my hair is one length-and I haven't even looked back since then. It feels so good to look in the back and see somewhat even hair.

But, dang, Peachtree, girl....I am speechless at the gumption you had to cut that much. Wowser! But hey, when you have a goal in mind, nothing can stand in your way. As long as you feel good about it that is all that matters. You go girl!!!! And I really bow down to you for sticking to transitioning, I tried it but I'm afraid of what my hair will do when we eventually move to a humid climate.

I would have NEVER thought that I would cut so much so fast.

But then again, I would have NEVER thought I'd go natural either. Guts, yep, I got sum

Allandra, see, I told u in that "where's Peachtree thread" that I had something "shocking" to reveal

Stormy, it was gonna be shorter but hubby started trippin'
laugh.gif
! Then again, I'm glad he stopped me cuz I almost forgot that I needed to leave enough length for nice sized buns

Ms Jennifer, yeah, I surprised my family too.

But they're soooo happy that I'm not relaxing anymore.... between their luv & the luv on this board, I'm sure that I'll achieve my goals

Hey Lindy
wave.gif

Nope, I didn't save it... Hope this makes sense.... I emotionally "let go" of the relaxed hair... my heart is now solely on my natural hair. (I would have NEVER thought I would feel this way). Anywho.... I still have plenty of pics... a lot of which I haven't posted onto my album.
I see it this way... I cut off much of the relaxed hair to make way for the stronger, definitely more beautiful natural hair
wink.gif
. I can't wait to show off those pics when I'm totally natural

Honi, yeah, initially I was gonna trim as I grew. But then I thought about it.
scratchchin.gif
I'm gonna cut out the relaxer once my natural hair reaches shoulder length.... that's close to 2 yrs.... why con't to care for the longer relaxed strands when I'm gonna cut them anyway? Shhhhhoot, I'd rather keep that money in my wallet. Although I'm "hair frugal", the maintenance cost (products) was still putting a nice lil dent in my wallet. Now I can save about half of the cost

Hi LONGHAIRGOAL
wave.gif

I didn't donate this time cuz my cut was more like small trims. However, I did donate about 20" of braided hair to "Locks of Love" during my senior yr in college (goodness that was over 8 yrs ago)... anywho, that's when I cut it to a "Halle" do (like she worn in "Strickly Business"). I was really proud of that!


Auntybe, U CAN DO IT LUV
smile.gif
. A lot of time, patience, plenty of self assurance & water (for moisturing of course
laugh.gif
)... IT CAN BE DONE.... the ladies here are proof
cool.gif
.


Lala, that was my reason for keeping a relaxer... cuz my natural hair was too thick & too unmanageable (post relaxer). Then I found the RIGHT products for my hair..... WHAT A DIFFERENCE THAT HAS MADE
smile.gif
.
Now, my natural hair is WAYYYYYYY more manageable than the relaxed strands. I NEVER thought that would be possible... although my mom never had a problem with my natural hair (pre-relaxer)...


LAFEMMENIGRITA.... "hair goddess"... oh geez! I'm not on "that" level yet
wink.gif
. But thanks for the honor
Rose.gif



Thanks TracyAnnette

Yes, luv, I'm VERRRRY EXCITED

I know that I didn't respond to quite a few of posts... but don't worry, I read each & every one of them
smile.gif
. But what's more important is the incredible feeling of luv, encouragement & smiles that I've absorbed from each post. I can not stress enough the joy I get from being on this board... It's overwhelming.... It's wonderful

Thanks again ladies... I look forward to sharing more of my transitional journey with u all

Peachtree,

That is SO awesome! I'm sure that truly helped out a child who really appreciated your thoughtfulness! I also had my hair cut into the Halle/Anita Baker hairdo a few years ago, but didn't think to donate my own hair at the time!
