Big Chop or Transition?.....Deciding to Go Natural

CONGRATULATIONS! 
You've decided to go/return to natural! Now you have to make what may be one of the hardest decisions of the journey. 
Should I big chop or transition?
 Not familiar with either? No worries!

My friend O'Mareen was sweet (and brave) enough to allow me to do her big chop. I'm thrilled to share it with you. In this video I also share information on transitioning. Check it out!


It's been nearly two years since O'Mareen's big chop. 
Look at her now!


I'm so proud of her! Her progress has been amazing! 
(And yes, she's a Quench gal! Order your's today!)
Like O'Mareen, I transitioned a few months and then I did the big chop. 


Was it easy? HECK NO! You guys know that I keep it real. Going natural can be hard. In addition to (re)learning to style your own hair, you truly find the journey is about learning your hair and loving yourself!

It wasn't until I chopped all of my hair off that I realized how many lies I'd internalized regarding society's definition of beauty. 
Now I know better!

NO! My beauty is not determined by my hair. Hair is simply an ornament dressing up what is (or is not) beautiful and that is YOU- the person you are on the inside. Are you kind, considerate, compassionate, honest, generous, humble? If so, you are beautiful! But again, these are lessons you'll learn at your own time in your own way along your natural hair journey. 

I put together a video that explains the various stages I and many other naturals go through when deciding to go/return to natural hair. 



So big chop or transition, if you can do it, you're a survivor! 
Until next time my friends, namaste!!!!
