ANY MARCH BCers? POST IT HERE!!

Thank you

My last relaxer was October 2009. My big chop was March 20, 2010. I had planned on transitioning until at least this summer but I got soooo tired of dealing with the two textures. I wish I would have BC'd sooner. I love my natural texture!!!! I can't keep my hands off my hair [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

There are so many I may have missed a few but to all march bc'ers and newer march bc'ers CONGRATULATIONS. You ladies look BEAUTIFUL, I love the pics, the curls and the natural beauty. I think it was Tasha that mentioned she can't keep away from the mirror. Same here, I love looking at myself in mirror, I just can't help it. I bc'd on March 10th after transitioning for 4 months and I LOVE ME, MY HAIR and this liberatiing feeling that has just taken over me. Yeahhhhh for the March BC'ers

Can't believe how quick I became a PJ (LOL)

Awe, thank you CC and to everyone here on CN; CN is such a great support system for women who want to go natural but don't know how or what to do first!

Although this is my second time around I feel like I know a lot more about my hair now than when I did my first bc (in which I had no clue).
I'd like to send a special shout out to Twisted Kurlzz who literally invested in me to become natural again [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] and she did me the honor in doing my bc! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

She did such a great job with my bc that she turned my husband (who wasn't too crazy about me going natural again or cutting my hair short) into a man who loves my hair [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Thanks ladies! I feel like I belong to a special group of real women; though most of us came at this journey for many different reasons but the outcome is the same; Freedom!

I love you all! May God continue to bless you all!

Okay, I think we bc'ers are what is refered to as having "March Madness"; look at how many us did our big chops! I know without a doubt that it was sheer madness having those two textures in my head.... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

But it worked out for the best for us [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] I love my hair, I just love it.

i co-wash with suave coconut or totally twisted (you can use whatever conditioner you like) & then cantu shea butter leavin and a drop of elasta qp feels like silk liquid gel and run my fingers through my hair and seal with an oil...my hair is so short that all i can really do is a wash n go... last night i played around with some elasta qp glaze and slicked down some parts to make it look a little egdy and it was cute but i might've used too much (and/or bc i didnt put a leave in under or oil over it) but it was a little stiff and i got paranoid it would break off or something so i just washed it out...

Congratulations to the newest March BCers!!!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Yay I miss all my old HT buddies!
I don't have a regimen yet but I'm probably going to wash and DC at least weekly
My staple style for work will probably be some kind of puff until it's long enough to get in a bun

ekaette i love your puff i cant wait till my hair is long enough to do a puff or twist out

@Tasha Thank you for the shout out. I am glad that I could be of some help and I am also glad that your husband likes your hair also. I know that it was hard the first time around when we both started on our natural hair journey, but we have to live and learn. Natural hair is very important to me and I feel like if God wanted us to be born with bone straight hair, then he would have made us that way.

I am also thankful for the curlynikki community because I have gotten a lot of inspiration from everyone here. May God Bless everyone through their natural hair journey. Happy Growing and God Bless

Thanks!!

Okay everyone, although I have been natural for two and a half years, I would always pray that my teenage daughter CoCoKurlzz would one day be interested in joining me on my natural hair journey. She tried to transition for about 4 months in 2009, but she gave in and got a relaxer again. Well, towards the end of last year, she was going to the salon off and on and she would get relaxers and get her hair styled, but she was getting tired of getting sores in her head from the relaxers.

Well, around November, she came to me and said that she was going to transition to natural and I was very happy and I let her know that I will be here with her and BabyKurlzz (my youngest) every step of the way. CoCoKurlzz came to me yesterday evening after school and asked me to cut her hair. I said yes, thinking that I was only giving her a trim. So I began to trim her hair and she was like, "No ma, I can't deal with the relaxed ends of my hair and I am ready for my big chop". I asked her about 20 times if she was sure that she wanted to cut all of her hair that short and she assured me that was what she wanted.

So I began to cut her hair stopping every minute and she was getting aggravated and she stated "ma, it's okay, I am ready to get my big chop now". So on March 26, 2010, I gave my oldest daughter CoCoKurlzz her big chop after transitioning for 3 1/2 months and she loves her hair so much and I do to [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] . There are a few straight pieces still in her hair that I will trim off later.

I am so sorry for such a long post, the date on the pics are wrong and I need to change the settings to show the correct date and I am not sure as to why the picture quality is not showing up that good. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
I will figure it out later.
