WHY I CUT MY HAIR🤩

I’ve always wanted to cut my hair short and be natural but I always equated the length of my hair with my beauty…unfortunately .

Luckily through doing this I’ve learned that the length of my hair doesn’t determine my beauty or how I feel about myself. I do! ✨I should feel beautiful no matter the length of my hair no matter if it’s long or short‼️

I am beautiful inside and out! And honestly it felt like something I had to do. It was something I needed to prove to myself, and I’m glad I did. I feel beautiful and more confident than I ever have in my life! I literally have gained a idgaf attitude and I hope it stays😂

So in short 🗣️🔊LADIES!! CUT THAT SHIT OFF!!

Feel free to use that in any aspect of your life 😂😁

Cutting your hair can be a powerful statement of self-acceptance and personal change. Many women feel pressured by societal standards linking hair length to beauty, but these norms are changing. Short hairstyles can symbolize freedom and a new beginning. In recent years, movements promoting natural beauty have gained momentum, encouraging women to embrace their true selves without the constraints of traditional beauty standards. The 'big chop,' particularly popular among women with textured hair, represents a bold step towards self-empowerment, often fostering a sense of community. Whether you're considering a big change or just looking for inspiration, cutting your hair can serve as a personal transformation tool, enhancing your confidence and encouraging a positive self-image. Remember, beauty is about feeling good in your skin, and for many, that journey begins with a significant haircut!

Why I Permed My Hair

So I cut all my hair off about 4-5 yrs ago so my hair was the healthiest it’s been since I hadn’t put much heat on it and kept it in protective styles. I permed my hair bc I’m a mom of 2 under 3 and I have no time to really put time into my hair on a weekly basis with both of my kids. I definit

Why I cut my hair!!!?

Soooo I cut my hair off and relaxed my hair.. I’ve been natural for about 3 years my hair was healthy for the most part. I would occasionally straighten my hair and I made sure to protect my hair but every time I would my hair texture would change. My hair ended up being damaged due to the heat my

A Trim is a Cut !

Healthy hair starts with how you care for it, from the roots all the way to the ends. Holding on to dead or split ends only causes more damage, making it harder for your hair to thrive. In 2025, we're all about healthy, flourishing natural hair-so why not start by letting go of what's hold

Here’s how and why I cut my baby hairs! They’re simply too long! I used to have people ask me if they were broken hairs but no, they’re just super long edge hairs. I started cutting them because people kept asking about them and also noticed it made them easier to smooth down. So win win situ

Why I’m keeping my hair protected this year

1. I think mini braids are sooo cute!😭 omg I personally love the way they look on me. I think they’re also cute when you leave some curls out to have a bohemian look also. Although I find that leaving hair out will tangle with my texture so if I do leave hair out it will be the hair framing my face

why i cut off 6+ inches of my( healthy )hair

unfortunately curly hair cuts are best if you plan on keeping your hair short or if u want layers as it grows longer. i’ve decided i no longer want layers as it grows because it makes it look less full and it just grows out really wonky
