My Big Chop

About a week ago I BC'ed. It was like 1 am and I was reading curly nikki when I looked over and saw my sister chopping off her hair. I had promised that I was gonna cut it on my bday but when it came I didn't get the gel I was hoping for. My sister who said she would be a long term transitioner started complaining that her hair was breaking too much. I suggested that she cut it with me but I didn't think that she was serious!

So a day after by bday I finally got some gel and I was reading up on women who recently BC'ed and I kind got cold feet. So when I saw that my sister cut off her hair, I said hey. Why not? so I BC'ed with my sister at 1 am July 15, 2010 WOOOOT! LOL

 shampooed with conditioner (still in shock!)

My hair this morning with gel

I am still cutting off relaxed ends but it is difficult because my hair is sooo straight when its dry so I don't know if I'm cutting relaxed or natural hair!. I have to wet it before I do any cutting. I have to admit that I was really scared about what people might think but I got lots of compliments, even my mom who never liked the idea of me going natural said it has grown on her !

My hair is about three inches natural now, so I'm thinking about braiding it soon so I'm not always playing/tugging and piling on products in my hair. I'm thinking of doing protective styling until I get the braids in and I try to post on them. If your planing on BCing don't be scared as long as you have the confidence you can pull off any look!
