I love natural hair! I have been natural for my whole life and I have no plans to ever try a relaxer. I cannot tell you what to do with your own hair, nor would I bash anyone for choosing to use a relaxer. I'm simply stating what works for me.
While looking for pictures, I realized that a few things:
1. I don't have a lot of pictures of different styles that I had as a child.
2. I wore my hair pressed/flat ironed a lot!
3. Natural hair is very versatile!
Okay, maybe I already knew about #3! Lol!!
I decided to do a big chop of sorts two days before Christmas. The next to the last picture shows how my hair looked on my way to the salon. It wasn't damaged. It wasn't falling out. I just wanted a change and I love it!!!! I've always had a nice length and even though I wore it straightened/flat ironed more than I should, I didn't lose my curls.
I've had my TWA since December and I have fully embraced it. I've gone back for a few trims since getting it cut because I'm not ready for it to grow out just yet. I have the shortest hair in the house and I couldn't be happier!
You've had some amazing styles, I really like your style now, too. I love short hair on myself, too, I've been thinking about getting it cut off short again.
ReplyDeleteThanks Brooke! I say cut it!! You know that it will always grow back. :-)
DeleteYour daughter is your twin, the third picture on the first row looks just like her.
ReplyDeleteCurious, your hair looked really healthy, why did you big chop again?
Thank you Jaha0805. I really just wanted a change. I've always had a decent length but I just wanted to try something new. I lost my mom to cancer in 2008. She lost her hair due to chemo. So even though I have a hair blog, I wasn't afraid to let mine go.
DeleteYour hair has always been beautiful from what I see in the pics. Long, short, straight, twisted, braided... however you have worn it. I really like your hair now. You can rock short hair and that is a wonderful thing. You are naturally beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet Michelle! Thank you very much!!
DeleteShort hair looks so fantastic on you!
