When you make a decision, and then carry it through, there is always that immediate reaction of satisfaction in having completed something. You did it! ...But it is the morning after making that decision that really counts. It often is a good indicator of how you'll feel about that decision in the longterm.
The morning after my "big natural chop" I felt liberated. My body had been infused with "happy endorphins" as I reflected on the next step I had made in my hair journey. I loved it!
I woke up with very anticipatory feelings. I knew I would feel SOME type of way, I just wasn't quite sure if that would be negative or positive. Lucky for me, the happy high of the previous morning had not worn off yet....and to be honest it STILL hasn't worn off.
I absolutely love my hair. I love to run my fingers through it, to scrunch it, to manipulate it into new styles, to sleep on it, everything. And no feelings of regret crept in that next day after the cut. YAY. Lol.
Now that I've gotten past that "morning after", I'm already anxious to meet my one year mark! #NewYearNewMe

Have YOU ever done the big chop?

I love this new look on you and I'm glad you're liking it too. I big chopped in 2012 after being relaxed for 20 years and it was such a liberating feeling with no regrets. I started my locs in 2014 and now you've got me ready to big chop again. Maybe in a few more years because I still love my locs alot. Good luck on your journey.
ReplyDeletethanks so much :) and wow, that's great! how is the loc journey holding up?
