Update on Big Chop --- 1st Day at work since my B.C. --Reactions

[jainygirl]

I know i told Kitchen_tician that i would update y'all with my co-workers reactions. They were all surprisingly positive /images/graemlins/shocked.gif -- Not to say that i have little faith in my co-workers /images/graemlins/look.gif but i didnt know what to expect reaction wise. I'm not kidding when i say this-- absolutely NO ONE commented on me being natural. EVERY comment was about me cutting my hair period --- just like you all /images/graemlins/rofl.gif.

They were really supportive though and said that the cut looked good and also that it suits me. I had a few naturals come up to me with a "way to go, it looks good girl." I even had one co-worker who i didnt even know was a natural come over and giving me some supportive words (her hair is always braided with extensions so i never even knew). I think i talked her into trying some combcoils though /images/graemlins/smirk.gif. I think she'll look great with them /images/graemlins/smile.gif I was asked, "so what are your plans" and my response was "to just keep it natural ---AND healthy as always" -- what can i say, i'm a typical LHCF'er.

I havent set any goals as far as growing my hair out. I think that will be further down the road. Right now i just want to learn my hair and have fun with it. the fact that i've become madly attached to my twa isnt helping either-- /images/graemlins/laugh.gif. (((Thanks Everyone))) -- jainygirl

Thank you Hotshot /images/graemlins/kiss.gif

I wonder why i didnt do it sooner /images/graemlins/laugh.gif. I'm also glad that i didnt transition as long as i had planned to. I'm learning my hair as i go-- even in this 1st week. As far as how i feel, i always feel cute now since my hair is basically always 'done' with my twa /images/graemlins/grin.gif-- jainygirl

[NYCQT16]

I meant to say in your 1st post if I didn't that it looks wonderful!

Hey Jainy /images/graemlins/wave.gif

Isn't going natural fun? If I knew how much I would love being natural I would've done my BC sooner than the 9 months I transitioned for.

So go on with your bad self, because I am loving the TWA /images/graemlins/up.gif

Hi Jainygirl, you don't know me, but I have followed your album since being on the boards. You wear the style very well and with confidence. What suits you most is the bright smile that you have since your transition. How can anyone criticize when they see that positive hair attitude? Enjoy!

 

[Ayeshia]

Im glad that you had a positive experience at work /images/graemlins/clap.gif I know I was nervous as all hell when I had to leave the house ...but fortunately everyone liked it /images/graemlins/smile.gif You look fab with yours /images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[pressncurl]

Jainy, what a beautiful new look! /images/graemlins/smile.gif I was just in Off Topic and saw your avatar. I was shocked, thinking now I know I've been here; how did I miss this? You look lovely, and oh what a courageous thing to do.

 

[dreemssold]

I am glad you had a good experience...you wear it very well /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

[YOTEGRA]

I haven't been posting so I didn't know you cut your hair. It really looks good on you jainygirl. Your face is perfect for this style.

 

[kitchen_tician]

/images/graemlins/weird.gif I'm also glad you had a good experience at work and that your co-workers were supportive. Thanks for updating us. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[miss_brown]

That's cool that your coworkers were supportive, jainy /images/graemlins/smile.gif I remember the first time I wore my hair out after I transitioned, I was soooo nervous as to how my classmates would recieve me. Most of them were cool, but I did get a couple ig'nant comments. Glad you didn't have to experience that /images/graemlins/up.gif

 

[jainygirl]

Thank you ((((Everyone)))). I wish i could just hug everyone /images/graemlins/grin.gif I think having support is so underestimated. Even though i was gonna chop anyway, having you ladies being so supportive and the people i know IRL, makes the switch from relaxed to natural seamless. /images/graemlins/smile.gif -- jainygirl
