...from doing the Big Chop?
Ladies, I keep going back and forth on whether to just go ahead and do it this summer (at 8-9 months post) or wait at least a year. Transitioning is dangerous because you're in between and it takes a lot more work to make your hair look cute, and sometimes it just seems like life would be easier if I just went back to the relaxer (especially being on this site with the gorgeous relaxed pics). BUT I have NO intention of going back, which is why I'm fighting with myself as to why I won't cut my hair...
Anyway, after all that here are the reasons I've come up with, that I'm holding back from just chopping (in order of importance)...
1)I'm scared of what I'll look like with very short hair (I think I'll have about 5 inches... but my shrinkage is NO JOKE!)
2) My hair is now the longest it has been in my entire life, and it seems like I'm throwing all that work away by chopping.
3) I'm a little scared of what certain people around me will think, but what I think of my hair is still wayyy more important.
I'd love to hear your reasons ladies...
