Hey I did a DIY.....no help did it all by myself

I just washed my hair...let it airdry with no product. When dry, I cut at the demarcation line. and VOILA! NO HAIR!

My only mishap was that I cut the front too short becasue the newgrowth blended so well with the relaxed hair

wow....and your hair is GORGEOUS...i find it amazing....i would prolly do something stupid and end up bleeding! hahahaha

I did the BC at the beginning of May. My friend did it for me. I just got tired of it. My head felt so 'free' afterwards. WHEW!!!

i did my own....my bf helped me with the back though....

i think i just started chopping at first, then i spritzed my hair with water...then i completely soaked my hair....then i took a shower and got some stray hairs

I had so much fun choppin' my hair off, I did it a few times!

I used to get my hair relaxed, but I didn't take good care of it so I did the big chop. Then I grew it out and got it relaxed for a few more years (2 or 3), then BC again, grew it out again, CHOP again. The last BC was in Nov 1999 and I haven't put any chemicals in it since.

It wasn't hard to chop because my mom used to chop my hair off all the time when I was a kid.

Wigs and I became best friends for a while, then I moved on to braids, then phony ponytails, and now I twist, braid, or pull my hair into a neat bun.
