FOTD and Big Chop after 14 months of transitioning

Random Big Chop and Face of Today

Big Chop Natural Hair 14 Months Transitioning

Been MIA again guys, sorry. Reasons this time? Loads of 9-7 shifts at work, and then my blog was blocked due to malware on Google Chrome, but I finally sorted that out yesterday. Random as I am, yesterday when I washed my hair, I trimmed my hair quite a lot because my relaxed ends had been super dry lately and my whole hair had been shedding loads.

This morning when I unravelled he twists I slept in, I just started cutting all the relaxed ends off. That's it- that's my whole big chop story lol. I did the big chop to natural hair, after transitioning for 14 months I think. It's funny how the relaxed ends are really in the way when you are transitioning, even wearing a bun was really hard, thick afro hair in the middle of your head, and bone straight ends in the bun itself. Read all my transitioning posts here.

I will do a separate big chop post shortly :)

  5. I've already said it but I love it. Must feel nice to be out of the transition stage :) I would love to big chop right now but I am only 11 weeks post, so I would cry for days if I did it now.

  15. My advice for a newly natural is to remember why you did it because de «creamy crack» is so addictive many fail to stay natural. I did my 2nd big chop yesterday, the first time lasted 8 months and when back to relaxer and after felt sad about it. Stay strong!
