I'm New!!! Wanna Transition in 2011

Hey everybody!!! Okay so i'm new here....i'm currently texlaxed with some bone strait ends...i'm currently grazing waistlength. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

I started my HHJ 2 years ago in March of 08...my goal was to first grow to my desired length of Waistlength and then i want to transition long-term. [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

So im pretty sure i'll be at my length comfortably by the end of the year...and then early next year...like in March i want to start transitioning.

Now, to prep myself i'm going to...after my June touchup....stretch for 6 months...try to..just to see if i can handle transitioning.
I do not have ANY desire whatsoever to big chop [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ....i have had my hair short before...relaxed...and i had a meltdown because im so used to having long hair [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] .

I want transition until i am waistlength stretched. So i'm guessing it will be a 2-3 year transition...snipping of 1-2 inches a month.

Okay there's my transitioning plan all planned out!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] ...off to learn more!! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
