I did the "big chop" (cut off all my hair) a couple of months ago coinciding with many other "big chops" in my life. Somehow, I am in a place now where I need to make sense to me ALL the time. My hair has always been a statement about myself and this time it is no different. I am going all natural though. I have nothing against the wigs and weaves; I may actually put in some whenever I feel like it. However, that is it for the relaxer; I actually take better care of my natural hair. I have found relaxed hair to be quite uninteresting too having been spoiled by the fullness of the weave, lol.
As for the comments, I have my twa blonde, and I've found that the men seem intrigued by the color and my complexion. Quite amusing. The last time I cut it off though, the women frustrated me the most, ridiculing my decision. I am older and wiser now though, and natural hair is actually more acceptable than it was 10 years ago when I first did it. I have resolved to find a good natural hair hairdresser and keep my hair as fabulous as it always was. I have also resolved to speech off anybody who asks me what is going on with that head? A question that broke my morale the last time but will not this time around!
