Day 1:

First and foremost I would like to thank everyone for their love and support. I was unsure on how the people that are the closest to me would respond. I have to admit I was nervous on how people would view me, but I have received nothing, but love all day today and I am so grateful to you all. Today was very reassuring and a breath of fresh air.


Ok now on to my day… I have to say that today was a very amazing day. I absolutely loved every moment of it. From the moment I walked into work I received compliments on my hair. Everyone at work were in awe of my hair, (more so because I have had so many protective styles in the past few months that they never knew what to expect), when they saw my hair they were pretty amazed. I keep hearing people say “you are so brave and so bold to cut all of your hair off,” but honestly I don’t feel that way. I feel like it was the best thing for me to do, but I don’t think it was bravery... I WAS SCARED!!!! I just felt like it was the right thing for me to do, so I had faith that it will turn out ok.

Since I am going natural I want to use all natural products for my hair. I would also eventually like to create my own personal products. I was speaking with a few ladies at my job today that are on the same thing, and I must say it was such an energizing conversation. We are going to uplift each other by working together on creating our own natural products. This will be a pretty lengthy process, as I do not have a freakin idea about how to make all natural products, but Trust I will learn. LOL We are highly motivated and I am sure it will work out.

I am just now getting home, so I am a little tired and I still have homework to do, so I will just leave you with that. I just would like to reiterate how amazing today was and I thank you all for helping it turn out that way. Thanks for the motivation and all of the love!!!!

Oh yea I almost forgot… Danniell, today I went to the store and bought 6 pairs of BIG earrings!!!! LOL And Tynisa and Auntie Marva I totally think you two should join the band wagon!!!!

Well check out my new pictures, and please post comments and let me know what you think.

My "Big Chop"

 

Ok... so today was the big day, today marked the day of my new "hair birthday!" I went to the barber shop to receive my big chop and it was an experience! I feel so liberated now that it is started. I wanted this for so long and now that it is complete, I am sooo excited! I was very nervous throughout the whole day, but was ready and anxious for the new change. Once my hair was cut, I was frightened to see my hair, but once I got the courage to look I was very pleased with the results! It looks so good, and I fell in love with it all over again once I got home, washed and doctored it up. The only thing that is somewhat bothersome is that I don’t think my hair was cut as low as I would like, as I still have some straight pieces in my hair. I am very intrigued about what people will think and say tomorrow at work. I am also interested to see how the people that are closet to me respond to the “new me.” What are people going to think, what are people going to say?? Do I care, not really, but a little piece of me does.

Well that is my feelings on my big chop, we shall see what tomorrow will bring. Right now, I am happy with the choice that I have made, and I do not regret it one bit. It was the best thing for me to do. This is the start to endless opportunities for me and my hair, so sit back and enjoy the ride…

Let me know what you think…

I will post more pictures probably tomorrow, and will update with my response to “work reactions”... :)
