Last Relaxer: May 22, 2007
Big Chop: August 24, 2008 (15 Month Transition)

In my albums I still count from my last relaxer and not by BC date because I think it's a better indicator of my growth and progress. So if you see 30 months that means it's been 30 months since my last relaxer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here's a description of 4A hair that I think nicely sums up the type of hair I'm growing:

4a-os dense hair tends to feel spongy.
4a-os fine hair tends to feel cottony.
4a-os wide strand diameter tends to feel wiry.

4a-os hair coils into springs and s-curls when wet, with the occasional spiral curl.
These springs can range in diameter from chalk to pen spring size. The smaller diameter the coils, the more shrinkage is expected. These springs and coils may disappear when hair is dry or combed/picked. Hair may lose it's sheen when combed and/or dried, needing a shine product to revitalize it. This hair type can be sheeny or shiny when glossing products are used. it doesn't straighten easily if the strands are coarse. When it grows long it sits more outward than downward. 4a hair type may hold a shake & go style and coil definition with the right products. It holds wet twists and comb coils tightly and very well for long periods. It stays moisturized with the right products. This hair type may not hold a press well because it reacts quickly to moisture.
