WHAT TO KNOW BEFORE CUTTING YOUR HAIR

The Big Chop.

The big chop is simply a term used to describing the decision a lady makes when she wants to cut off her hair. However, doing the big chop is a big deal.

Deciding to do the big chop is not necessarily for the person who wants to transition to natural hair. It is also for the person who wants to make a big change to her appearance.

I’m sure you’ll agree with me that deciding to go for the “big chop” is a big deal and that means there has to be some level of thinking and decision making involved.

There will be a lot of questions plaguing your mind. Questions like Will my hair grow faster if I cut it? Am I ready for the big change? or you simply just can’t deal with the two textures (For people transitioning into natural hair).

Well, highlighted are things you need to do to prepare yourself for the big chop.

Things to Consider before going for the Big Chop.

• Be 100% sure you are ready: You need to sit, think, take a deep breath and think again. You need to be sure you are ready and willing to take that big step. Remember, you can’t glue it back.
• Prepare yourself mentally for it: If you have never had to deal with short hair before, then going for the big chop is a drastic change. You have to get used to the idea of having a short hair and the maintenance it will need.
• Find the style that works for you: Visit  a professional stylist. Tell him/her what you want and work together to find the style that works for you. Take for instance, if you are the type that do not like the idea of styling your hair everyday then a convenient style would work best for you.

• Understand that you have to keep your hair hydrated: Keeping your hair hydrated will add more shine and glow to it.
• Be patient: Do not expect it to grow back anytime soon. While waiting, take your time to understand your hair. Find out what products works best for it and simply enjoy the break.

In conclusion, having a short hair will definitely give you a face lift you didn’t expect. It will make you look younger and sexier. If you are looking to change your look totally, going for the big chop is a good idea.
