I did the Big Chop!!! and I'm happy

[MrsHouston]

I decided to cut 5 to 6 inches of my hair off instead of gradually cutting them off. Mainly b/c of thinner relaxed ends. The last 3 inches of my hair were also breaking off on a regular basis and it was tooooooo much work trying to be EXTRA, EXTRA careful with them when I did my hair.

I love all my hair being thick and more healthier looking.

The pictures of the big chop are in my new fotki at:

My old fotki shows more shots of my old length, but I'm closing it soon, trying to keep everything simple these days.

Congratulations on your BC!!!!

You know what, you're right. There's a "BC bug" going around

Seriously, I think you get to a point in your hair care journey where it's more about the health of your hair and not the length. You get the health thing right and the length will follow.

Thanks, but I can't say I'm natural since I do a texturizer about twice a year.

I totally agree, I was just sick of thin ends and wanted my healthy hair back over length.

Girl yes, that "BC bug" is definitely biting. I bet he is as cute as he can be.
