The Big Chop

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook then you know that I did another big chop yesterday. Back on July 4th I cut all of my hair off and had the hubby shave it off to about 3/8″ in length. I had really jacked my hair up by bleaching it and coloring it about 6 times in a one month period. I was attempting to get my hair a medium to dark brown color with caramel highlights. Big time fail. My hubby told me I should go to a salon but I told I could do it I’ve been doing my own hair for so long. Well I had to eat my words this time, because he was right I should have went to a salon. But I didn’t, so now I am here. Yesterday I had my husband shave my head again to get rid of the rest of the damaged/colored ends. It is a fresh start and another natural hair journey begins for me. Yesterday I ventured out to Costco and Target with my guys, without a wig. I was scared at first, thinking everyone would be staring at me and then I thought to myself well that isn’t any different than any other day because people already stare at me because of my height…lol Now I don’t know whether they are staring at me because I am tall, bald or both…lol

But I felt so liberated and after about 2 minutes in the store I had completely forgotten I had just shaved my head. I was happy and felt liberated. It is so hot and humid here on the island right now and I sweat like crazy with my wigs, so it felt good to be cool and not sweating profusely. I’m still not all that confident because as I write this I wonder if I will drop my boys off at school on Monday with or without my wig. Not sure if I’m ready for the stares from people I actually know from passing, but we shall see. I started back at the gym on Friday and I wore a a baseball cap with a long straight wig in a braid underneath. I was hot…lol So right about now I’m thinking debuting my bald head at the school come Monday may not be so bad. We shall see. Here are a couple more pics from my big chop with me and my boys. Currently they both have longer hair than me and I’m okay with that.

I’m going to try and document my journey and growth as best I can and hope you will continue to follow along. I’m even thinking of finally uploading to YouTube, once I figure it all out. Thanks for all of your support, likes and comments on Facebook and Instagram. I truly appreciate it.

Thanks for stopping by!
