I have been going natural since March 13, 2009 and today is December 24, 2009. My original plan was to transition for a full year, meaning that I would have done the big chop on March 13, 2009. Since my hair has grown more than I'd expected and it is becoming harder and harder to blend my natural hair wth my relaxed ends, I want to start off the new year with a fresh new look. I am going to do my big chop myself on New Year's Day!
I have mixed emotions right now... anxious, happy, scared... but I will definitely go through with it. When I first started my transition, I told myself that I won't do the big chop. Like most people, I am attached to longer hair. Now I realize that my hair isn't exactly healthy. Some of the relaxed ends fell off already on the crow of my head ah! It's time for me to get rid of them all!
Here are some pics of the new growth so far.

Wait, I'm confused... did you big chop or is this an old post from 2008?
I'm also transitioning from relaxed to natural via sisterlocks. My last relaxer was July 2009. I'm hoping to have enough new growth by Jan/Feb so that I can get sisterlocks installed.
I look forward to seeing how you progress on your journey!
