“Don’t cut your hair” they said.😏

2024/12/21 Edited to

... Read moreThe decision to embrace the 'big chop'—a drastic hairstyle change involving cutting off most or all of your hair—can be transformative both in appearance and attitude. This trend often symbolizes shedding the past and emerging with a fresh start, particularly popular in communities celebrating natural hair. Many individuals opt for this bold style to promote hair health or to embrace their natural texture. For those considering this leap, the journey can be both liberating and challenging. Tips for making the most of your new look include experimenting with various styles using accessories like headbands or scarves, and understanding how to care for shorter hair. The hashtags mentioned, such as #bigchop and #baldheadgoddess, are often found in collective support spaces online, where experiences and product recommendations flow freely among users. Engaging with online communities can provide valuable insights and encouragement during this transition. Whether you're thinking of going for the chop or have already taken the plunge, celebrating your hair's unique beauty is essential.

Disproving the myth that you don’t need to cut your hair to start locs!!
Of course it’s different for everyone depending on texture but my hair was mainly locked up around a year except for my ends. Everyone’s journey is different and the best thing to do is let your hair do what it needs to do on its own time! Don’t let anyone tell you what you shouldn’t or should do!

Don't cut your hair!!
I know it seems tempting, but heres why you shouldn't! 1. Cutting your hair short is a commitment, all of those hairstyles you use to have? Yeah, they won't work on your new short hair 😭 So be sure to learn new styles for your hair. 2. It takes FOREVER to grow back. Did you know that

Hair fail?
Honestly, not super upset with the cut and color because it is a really pretty color, just a little darker than I was expecting. The salon did call me back in to touch up a couple pieces and they said they were toning the blonde pieces left in the front, but I couldn’t tell a huge difference. #hai
