1 week post big chopped
Ok so I chopped off my hair now what?
Im excited that's for sure, I'm studying this hair thing, trying to figure out what works best for me. Right after my big chopped I went to target and got me some products I have been reading about in the forums.
I got the kinky curly knot today leave in
and the kinky curly custard
, I got aussie moist conditioner
, hair one sulfate free shampoo, garnier fructis cream gel, and 100%african shea butter.
YES! A product junkie is born! I spent over $80 on products that day, but I quickly justify myself that I usually spend that same amount to have someone fry my hair on a weekly basis.
I figure my products would last me longer than a week and I have room to experiment.
Here is it! The second day of the big chopped I used the kinky curly knot today and kinky curly custard I pin my hair on one side to make a half-hawk.
Here is the half-hawk side... Please disregard the giant zit on my cheek.
a front view, you can see it looks a bit jerry curl-ish, I went kinda heavy on the custard and my curls haven't set in yet so some of the hair is still kinda straight.
Hopefully the curl sets fast.
a side view of the pin, I use cute little diamond accent hair clip, for a more DIVA-ish look. Hope it worked :)
It was my Sunday morning church look, I got tons of compliments that day.
I'm on this learning journey and I'm determine to master the art. in overall I'm very happy with my big chopped. we'll see how I do over the work week.

Skip the transitioning! I big chopped
So saturday I woke up with the big chopped itch. I couldn't sleep friday night all I could think about is my hair, this transitioning gig is getting costly. I just bought a bottle of conditioner and it is gone! All this hair on my head that I was already detached to... it felt like a huge waste of my good products, wasting my good stuff on some relaxed end that I'm going to cut out anyway!
why not now? Besides I have never seen myself with short hair, I thought once I grow my curls it is very unlikely that im going to chop them so if there's ever a time to see myself with short hair the time is now!
who knows it could be fun!
so there it is the case for chopping is made.
So I chopped! isn't it cute? I can't stopped looking at myself in the mirror and take pictures of myself every chance I get LOL
