It’s been almost 8 months since I began my natural journey and I’ve been dealing with lots of shedding. I had to get rid of my relaxed ends once and for all.
If you asked me a year ago about cutting my hair off, I would have said hail naw!!!! Never say never! Have you ever done something you thought you never would?

lol I’m loving the this especially the part where you were a little freaked out in the beginning. I have to give it to your better half though for being so patient with your mini melt down.
Yay!!!! Go to the barber to shape it up its way cheaper than going to the salon. Welcome to the club!!!!
That is so exciting!!! Congrats!!
I love being a natural 🙂
Wow, you did it, brave!!! Like you said it’s hair and it will grow back. Now just moisturize and protect you way back!
It happened so fast!
That’s a good idea! Thanks!
Thanks Faith!
I plan to do just that! Thanks so much!
LOVED the video! I think you will be so thrilled with the fresh new start!
Wow you are so brave, kudos to you and hope you have a rewarding journey nursing your hair back to health!! Get to know your hair and youtube is a great resourse when it comes to maintaining and growing healthy natural hair. Scour the internet for natural hair blogs you won’t be disappointed! Oh and your hubby did a great job!! High five to him 🙂 goodluck!
You look GORGEOUS with your new haircut. Haha, I remember when I did the big chop about 10 months ago (I went to a salon), and I visibly cringed every time the hairdresser snipped off a segment of my damaged, relaxed hair. Yes, my hair was short at the end of it, but I felt so liberated- it was as if I was truly seeing myself for the first time in about 12 years (I started getting relaxers when I was 6). So rock your new hairdo with pride because it looks lovely on you, and I know you’ll enjoy the process of getting reacquainted with your natural hair.
And lol you and your husband are so cute. I was giggling the whole time when he was about to cut your hair.
Congratulations! Like you, I’ve been transitioning for 8 months. I’m still not ready to BC, but I was inspired by your previous post when you were contemplating doing the BC. So, this weekend I cut off another 2 inches from my hair. My husband is also white and he’s always saying to me, “Give me the scissors! I like your curls. I’ll cut off all the rest!” I haven’t let him yet, but I’m definitely going to show him this video. Tell your husband he did a good job.
Wow!! You are absolutely stunning!! You look great with short hair. I think this was a great move…and this video…absolutely hilarious 🙂
Good for you! My hubby did my BC too, and it was great – and yes, it will grow back so incredibly fast(and healthy!).
You look great! I agree with previous posters about using youtube as a good resource. It’s helped me a bunch with my natural hair! -Dia
Wow, this is awesome. Kuddos to you for taking the plunge. I think it’s so funny that you picked your hubby to do this :). You guys are too cute.
Congrats, looking forward to following you through your natural hair journey.
Thanks so much Pegster! I’m lovin’ being a natural! My hubby has been super supportive.
