I did it, no seriously I did it. My hair made love to a pair of scissors and guess what she liked it. This major hair cut would be considered a big chop in the natural community, but it feels slightly different to me. First of all, I have been natural for the past six years, which means no perms, relaxers, texturizers or any chemical alteration of any type, unless you count my experiment with some box hair dye 4 years ago! I have always had beautiful, thick, and curly hair, but my awesome hair took a turn for the worst when she met the Chi! Yes, I do mean the Chi flat iron, the ceramic painted metal flat iron, that will ensure luxuriously straight damaged hair. For the past 3 years I have had over 15 trims, multiple braid styles, sew-ins, and numerous protective styles; unfortunately I still had irreversible heat damage, the most hideous split ends, and I could retain much length. Never have I ever had short hair, and I define short as the inability to put ones hair in a pony tail. So I'm confidently rocking a baby fro! It's a new year and I'm a new me; therefore, my goal this year is to start being the woman I want to be in five years! That means eating more healthily, which will enable me to take care of my hair as well as my skin. I want to work from the inside to the outside! This year I will also start taking responsibility for my own happiness, and that means I will try to be happy by any means necessary! Thanks for reading 😘
