every now and again i think many of us go through that, “maybe i should big chop” phase long after we’ve grown our hair. or sometimes we go through it because of hair disaster setbacks like heat damage or a bad hair cut or a break up – i always thought this was a myth (cutting off your hair after a failed relationship) until i ran into a few women who have done this.
recently i’ve been wavering about cutting my hair. for some reason i have this urge to have really short hair and though i know i’d love the short hair – in theory, it might not love me back, so i’m going to wait on that one.
big chopping can be fun. recently taren chopped off her hair into a pretty short do. i love the way short hair looks as it adds a flair to hair that often a curly bob cannot. with short hair it’s like – “here is my face. look at it.” we can hide behind our floppy fros but with hair as sort as four to six inches, it’s hard to do that, so big chopping is a great way to test your limits when it comes to what you hair can and cannot do for your style.
i’m still gonna keep the idea of big chopping in the back of my head. while i do so, i’ll be watching as a bystander all the other ladies who take the scissors to their manes, maybe one day being brave enough to snip all of my hair off.
what say you? have you ever big chopped after your initial big chop just to start over and do something different with your hair? how was the experience? and if not and you are like me, is this something you are thinking about doing soon?

I’ve been a natural girl for over 12 years and tend to do a major cut every 2. I haven’t figured out why but when my hair gets to a certain length the ends start to straighten out. LOL I will have about 4 inches cut next week and I can’t wait. Even with a 4 inch cut it will still hit me around the shoulders and I love it that length. I miss rocking my big Friday Foster afro.
I personally haven’t done the BC yet, but iReally want to . .
iGuess iJust have to find the confidence. But anyway the girl in the video looks so beautiful w/ the BC . . iJust don’t think iCould pull it off : /
I’ve been natural for over a year now, but when I first went natural my mom convinced me to keep doing ceramic fusion on my hair because she thought that natural wasn’t professional. Being the good little girl that I was, I took her advice and now I have extensive heat damage in the front of my hair. Good news is, I’ve grown it out but there is still like 5 inches of bone straight hair connected to my curls so it’s time for another BC!!! I’m excited, nervous, and just want to get it over with so I can wear my wash and go fro in the summer.
I’m so afraid to try new things..this is like jumping off a cliff for me…well not that dramatic…TWA HERE I COME!!!!
