I finally BIG CHOPPED!!! (Mar. 24th 2012)

Yep! I finally big chopped. I have to start from the beginning because I was suppose follow a plan and I didn't...

So 2 post ago, I had braids. That was a big fail because my mom didn't do them properly (I'm not even going to get into that) which made me want to take them out sooner than later.  Well.... I took them out really soon. I got them done on the 11th and took them out on the 23rd. A week and 5 days. CRAZY RIGHT!?!?!

My hair before I washed it.

So I took them out this past Friday and washed and conditioned and when I had to detangled my hair I got mad. It was so knotted at the ends. I had to ask myself "WHY AM I KEEPING MY RELAXED ENDS? IF I'M SO DONE WITH PERMS WHY AM I HOLDING ON TO IT?" That's when I got the feeling to big chop. I wanted to do it that day but I ended up going yesterday instead.

After Big Chop. I did it on blown Out hair.

 I figured I should do it at the salon instead of my house. So I told my mom the Friday night and got it cut Saturday morning. And here's the results!

I'm in LOVE with it! My mom thought I was going to hate it because it's short but I actually LOVE IT! The only thing I'm worried about is the few straight ends I have. I was thinking it's either 1 of the 3. 1. Relaxed ends-since I just big chopped 2. My Curl Pattern Since I just BC, I might have some loose curls 3. HEAT DAMAGE AHHHHHHHH. I hope not! Also I was thinking I might have scabbed hair. Lord, I don't even want to get into it. That's another day, another post.

But Overall I'm pleased with my hair. All I need is a few deep treatments and then I'm good. I am going to re-braid my hair because now I'm on another hair journey. The more I braid, the more it will grow. So that's my plan.

It feels super weird now. I'm 100% natural now and I have to remember that I'm no longer a transitioner. There's no more 2 textures (except for the few strands) no more perm, non of that. I feel like it's 1993/1994 when I was natural. It's just an amazing feeling!

If you're contemplating on doing the BC, just do it. It has to go anyway so just do it and get it over with!
