Love that you're prioritising healthy hair still. It looks so good still. Nothing like your own fro and a homegrown headful of hair, girl. The little bits of blonde leftover after the first cut were super cute to me too

@aujohneehwoods9468 Ай бұрын

The “oh you’re bald” is accurate 😂 I big chopped about 6 months ago due to color and heat damage as well. It was cute when I was done but then I woke up the next day remembering what I’ve actually done 🥴 but your hair will be so much much healthier and grow so fast!

@AmberSumerall Ай бұрын

Girl I did another big chop on my long 25’ inch medium density hair back in December 2023 and I don’t feel bad about it. It’ll grow back. Let’s leave the dyes, blow drying and heat alone for a while ❤

Having the courage to big chop and do what’s healthiest is something I advise every woman to do at least once in their life. Like chop down to the barely coil / curl and really get into how you feel about yourself without the hair. That self examination and exploration brings clarity around beliefs and provides a pathway to increased self love 💕 Enjoy the journey!

@denslayer11 Ай бұрын

Awesomeeee I did a big chop in January this year!!!! I got my hair bleached (professionally) and it made my hair so stringy and damaged and I was so unhappy and unsatisfied with my hair...now I love it because I cut out the bleach and my hair is thriving!!! I support you fully!!!
