I know it's been a while since I've posted about my hair...or anything in that matter. But a month ago, I decided to finally do something I had been wanting to do since late summer 2014. I chopped it all off!
I've been asked why, and I wish I had some cool spontaneous story about how I was just bored, and just went to the shop, and voila! But, that's not quite how my story went. It's true, I was bored with my hair. But I also was going through a growth rough patch. I didn't think my hair was growing anymore. I consulted with a couple people, my boyfriend being a persuading factor, decided I would give my hair a few more weeks and then think about it again.
Well January 2015 hit, and in pure "new year, new me" fashion, the need for this hair cut was just eating at me. I couldn't shake this feeling, that although, I've never cut my hair nearly as short as what I was going for, I need absolutely needed to this.
Again, my hair wasn't growing. It was uneven due to infrequent trimmings, and just not straightening my hair at all. Also, my hair didn't feel clean. I wore wash -n- go's, as my scalp is really sensitive and builds up quickly, and no matter whether I cowashed or washed with purifying shampoo, it just didn't feel clean. It was nasty!
So I cut it....
And it's been a month long journey lol. I'm still getting used not being able to hide behind my hair. Not being able to try different styles. I will say, I'm so in love with the low maintenance of it so far. And oddly enough, I get a compliment almost every day. Listen to this, every day! I can't style it. I can only wear wash -n- go's, and somehow my confidence in this cut has gone up day by day.
Have you been contemplating getting the Big Chop? What's holding you back?
You look great! Didn't know you had a blog. Rock that fro girl, I love! (it's Samantha lol) (:
