Natural Hair: Big Chop

April 30, 2014 by Mikelah Leave a Comment

Big Chop

I cut my hair! I’ve been natural for close to 10 years, but I’ve never had my hair this short…ever! For most it came as a surprise, but amongst my close friends and my regular stylist, I’ve been obsessing over a short cut for about 2-3 years now. Turning 30, I wanted to do something different and thought this was a great time to cut it, especially with the summer season coming up, this was the perfect opportunity. To be honest, I’m still getting used to it. I love the low maintenance (I literally have wash & go hair, no diffuser needed), but I’m not quite sold on the shape of the cut. Since cutting, I’ve tried a few styles (finger coils and set on flex rods.)  I’m totally committed to rocking it and enjoying it, but there’s a tiny part of me that misses my mid-length curls. I definitely have no regrets (I’d continue to wonder “what if” if I never did it.) I’m curious to see what it will look like straight and how I’m going to maintain over the summer. Keep up with me on my personal Instagram to see my short hair journey!
