I can not believe that it’s been over 2 years since I did my BIG CHOP! I initially did my big chop to be a support system for my tween since her hair was becoming damaged from having it flat ironed all the time and that one time I let her get a kiddie perm. Well here we are today and my hair is even shorter than it was 2 years ago. o_O
My natural hair journey has been full of high and lows, but I wouldn’t trade any of it! I have learned so much about myself and made friends all over the world. Who would have thought that something as simple as “hair” would have that much of an impact on people. Now during these 2 years I also learned that my hair is crazy as hell. No really, “she’s” crazy! And by SHE I mean…Sybil! Oh, you don’t know about her? Well click here to get the full story.
Ok now that you’re up to speed with Sybil and I, let’s take a little trip down memory lane *cue music and fade scene*
On 11/15/11 I did my big chop after having braids in my hair for about 2 months. I didn’t really plan on going natural again (this wasn’t my first time at the rodeo), but i knew I wanted something different and I’ve never been afraid about cutting my hair off. My first short cut actually came after I ended up burning off a curl using my college roommate’s curling iron. I went to refresh a curl and that bad boy fell straight to the floor. If you could have seen the look on my face! And this was just before TLC hit the scene so there I was with my pixie cut and side burns looking hella fly! Even dyed it a golden brownish blonde. You couldn’t tell me nothing!
