I can’t believe it’s been little over 2 years since I had my big chop! Looking back on that time, I remember being excited but also terrified because for the first time in my adult life I didn’t know how the hell to do my hair.
Fast forward to now and after much trial and error, tears, frustration, and eventual patience, I’m finally in a better place. Not only do I have a better handle on how to do my hair, I feel better about myself beyond hair. Going natural was and still is an experience, one I’m grateful for.
I posted a big chop update video on my YouTube channel today celebrating 2 years and answering questions from my subscribers. I talk about my favorite products, why I rarely do protective styles, my biggest lessons I’ve learned, my thoughts on pricey natural hair salons and more. Here’s my big chop update, enjoy!
