Random Big Chop and Face of Today
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 :)
Today's FOTD:
- First ever bun as a natural! Woo
- 2True Black Eyeliner
- Tom Ford Violet Fatale Lipstick
- The BodyShop Bronzer
- ELF Bronzer
- NYC face powder (new)
What do you think of this FOTD?
And I know I've been gone for long, which posts do you prefer on my blog?
Any tips for a newly natural? :)

ReplyDeleteI'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.

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!
ReplyDeleteYou look stunning!!! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThat lipstick colour looks gorgeous on you!!!!
