I had a relaxer and my hair was pretty long. But the upkeep was expensive. I used to go to the salon every week. Got bored with that too needed a break.
Since I've been in the blog world I've found a lot of sites where people have gone natural so I thought I would give it a try.
Long story short... I had not had a relaxer since June. I had a lot of new growth and I wore braids as I transitioned? So theCaptain thought my braids were cute **swoon** but he could not grasp the whole going natural thing. Once I explained it he was like oh hell naw!!! Then there is the BIG CHOP!! You have to CUT the relaxer off.
Long long story short. I went to the salon today and got a relaxer

i love short hair on woman..i be it's cute.
@Gee Thanks! It's going to take some getting use to. :)
yeah i broke my hair off like that, too. that's what made me go ahead and do the big chop. the hair was damaged anyway. why not?
@Jameil I think I got scared. I haven't had hair that short ever. The big chop is scary.
I'm natural too.. cut off all my hair on Christmas Eve '07. My hair was an inch long.. lol Fast forward 3 years, it's just past the closure of my bra, when flatironed. I'm glad I went natural.. but it's not for everyone. There is a common thread with both natural and relaxed hair.. keeping the hair moisturized. Good luck with your new fab do!
@P.S Thanks so much. I really want my length back. I wish I had consulted with my stylist first. But I think this cut will help get started on my way back to healthy hair!
