Entering the Month of My BC Anniversary and Giveaway Winner Announcement

Four years ago…in October to be exact, I started to chop off my transitioning hair one week at a time. I had no idea that by the end of the month, I would eventually Big Chop and say good-bye to the relaxed ends that I held on to for so long. In retrospect, Big Chopping my hair was one of the best decisions that I’ve made during my natural hair journey. It gave me the insight to start to love myself for who I was under the damaged and broken hair and not depend on a crutch such as hair as my only method of feeling feminine and beautiful. A lot of people say that their Teeny Afro days are devastating and for me it was different. I felt enlightened, beautiful and daring. To say the least, I’ll do it again soon.

The whole purpose for this blog, for our communication…for the birth of FleurdeCurl was big chopping. The most significant thing that I can remember was that I completed my big chop on my birthday–October 31st. Those two instances merged together birthed a new me and I am proud to say, no matter how I wear my hair in the future, my big chop enlightenment helped me to understand that my hair does not make me butterfly but at the end of the day, my spirit does.

Now it’s time to announce the Anniversary Giveaway winner: LaTonya JaQuetta! Thank you so much. LaTonya won the LRC mini kit and the Urbanista Noir crochet earrings. Her name was randomly picked both times for each drawing. I appreciate you so much for following FleurdeCurl and I will make sure that I email you regarding your shipping information by the end of the day.
