MY BIG CHOP!

MY HAIR

AFTER MY BIG CHOP

So this morning started like any other Saturday morning. Today is my wash day. So my husband and I headed out to the gym for our Saturday Raquetball, Whirlpool, and Swimmimg Pool workout. It was great! I got back home and started washing my hair, all is going well. Then it was Tim to condition and detangle and that's when all hell broke loose.

My hair was talking smack to me and was not cooperating AT ALL. It was saying you know what I'm sick of you and this natural hair journey, we want our creamy crack, we want to be smooth and silky, we want to go to the hair salon and sit in there for 5 hours! And as a black momma who can't stand when a child talks back, I pulled out my scissors and I shut her mouth!

That's right I just finished my very own Big Chop! As you can see from the pictures below, I cut about 5 inches of the relaxer off and now I'm officially on day one of my 100% Natural Hair journey

I told y'all I was getting impatient with the two textures and was over it already so I took the plunge after 6 months of transitioning. Now how do I feel? I don't know yet. I thought I would be scared and I wasn't, I thought I would be nervous and I wasn't. I feel somewhat free as if the relaxer was keeping me in bondage. Now what will I feel like after my husband finally sees it? That is the big question. He has never seen me with short hair in the 6 years we have been together.

So right now I'm deep conditioning it and I have no clue what I'm going to do to it in terms of styling it cause it so short, but I guess I'll figure that out like I did everything else during my transition.

So here I go part two of y journey. .... To be continued.
