Transition advice, help!

[DDTexlaxed]

I am working on my 7th and last transition. I usually get frustrated and chop all my hair off, but I don't want to have a short twa when I chop. I figure if I chop an inch off every 6-8 weeks, my hair will be a decent length when I'm finally all natural. It will also help me to master how to style my hair in its natural state. I think it take about 7-8 months for this to happen. Does this sound like a good plan?

I am probably the transition queen, but this is why I'm asking for help in this thread. This time I'm really trying to work hard on this transition journey. I want to make this my last transition and learn how to keep my hair healthyas well. I no longer use heat because heat seems to damage my hair worse.

Um.... WTH did this thread get a one-star rating??? Someone is asking you for help... jeesh. This is the plan i have for myself right now. I am going to do mini chops. Might I add that there is a transitioning support thread http://www.longhaircareforum.com/showthread.php?t=56005&highlight=support+thread

You should look at fotkis of folks at 8 months natural to see how much hair that actually is. Even if your hair growth is 1/2 inch per month at month 8, that's still only 4 inches of hair, which for the most part is still a TWA.

ETA: My avatar pic is from the night I BC'd after a 14 month transition and I get 1/4 inch per month.

I am not concerned with how long my hair will be when I end my transition. I am tired of the damaged, shedding mess I have on my head. This is why I never transition long because my hair frustrates me. I figured that the mini chops every 6 weeks would cut down the damage and it would give me some time to learn more style options. I just don't know what to do.

Did the other transitions involve a big chop?

I think its sounds like a good plan. You can always modify it later if need be. Good Luck!!!
