Boredom+heat+shears= transition over (with pics)

I was bored so I chopped my hair off today. My transition's been going pretty well and I straightened my hair for my birthday it was a lil past apl with the longest layer touching my bra. I figured no point hanging on to the relaxed ends for the length since I hardly ever flat iron my hair and wear it up or curly and short looking anyway.
I was all excited and went to show my brother, he looked up and didn't notice anything was different. After I pointed at my head he goes, 'oh you cut your hair, looks nice I guess' then went right back to the TV Men... So I decided to start a thread to share my excitement.

I transitioned for a lil over a year, I used kinky curly's knot today and curling custard. And now, pictures!!!

Thanks SouthernBella, you actually helped push me into doing it because I was on your fotki right before I did it and figured if that's 13 months of hair, I can live with that .

I'm not entirely certain yet. After I washed out the conditioner, it shrunk a lot and I had to step out so I put it up and I'll play with it more in the morning.

Beautiful and you have so much hair already. Enjoy. (Believe me my brother wouldn't notice a thing either. I think it was years before he realized we no longer used perms).
