I am almost 12mnth post last relaxer. I should be celebrating but instead i can barely keep my head up (literally) b/c i feel so down. I have been wearing buns for like the last 5 mnths and i was totally cool with it. However, after seeing Michelle obama (lol) and other fly hair i felt frustrated. I am in school so i can't afford to spend too much on my hair and I am terrible at doin my own hair. I really want to do the big chop but :
1. i want it to be done right w/o having someone go scissor happy...only got about 4 inches of new growth b4 shrinkiage.
2. IDK where i can go to get a cut that will be shaped properly for curly hair. I'm not talkin about goin somewhere that i can get the perm cut out...anyone can do that. i want someone who knows how to cut it for shaping and to last as it grows.
3. I'm afraid of what hairstyles (or lack of hairstyles) i can do with 4 inches of hair on my head.

Right now i am shoulder length and it gives me comfort that i can go to the dominican's and get a wash n set or do a ponytail....if i BC, my bush may have dry and bad days and i don't have many hats or scarves....PLEASE HELP!
 
first breathe!

Next, I know everything is overwhelming now, but don't worry.
Have you tried braidouts? I'm transistioning also and braidouts have helped me manage the 2 textures. I was feeling just like you and wanted to BC but braidouts saved me.

If you are serious about bcing I suggest watching Southerntease YouTube video to get an idea of how to do your own bc and be in control. HTH

(I'm in Baltimore btw)
 
I'm in DC and I had my cousin do the BC for me.. there are plenty of good stylists that do natural hair but I don't know right off the bat because I haven't been to one yet.. While I was transitioning, I wore braids and weaves.. HTH
 
im in the DMV and i got christols salon andd ay spa to do mine and got lots of compliments on my shape even now as its growing out. im 7 months post bc ...my fotki has the entire journey i had less than 4 inches left tho after the bc
