Reactions to the "Do"

"Wow, you cut your hair!!!!!!"

"You had such pretty hair."

"You've got that good hair...so it'll grow nicely, maybe."

"It's really reallllllly short."

"I have to get used to it."

A selection of the reactions from the people in my life. It was quite funny seeing/hearing their reactions to the new do. They were mostly surprised, partly because I only told a few people that I was doing a BC. The funniest comment was, "I have to get used to it". Its funny when someone else has to get used to your hair! I want people to have positive reactions about my hair, but its not necessary! I am confident in my decision to go natural because I did it for myself and because I truly love it. My hair feels healthier and looks better than it ever did relaxed! I can't wait to see how my hair looks it grows.

My BC!

Hey! I'm Amanda,I'm 22 and now I'm natural!

This blog is dedicated to my hair journey and for others that are going through the same process! I'll probably dedicate it to beauty as well, because let's face it, we are all BEAUTIFUL!

I decided to do the BC because I was tired of my relaxed hair! I looked at old pictures of myself and noticed that I had the same style from middle school to until my College Graduation! I had no clue how to take care of my relaxed hair (and didn't want too). I wanted something new that I could take care of and be excited about.

I went to a Salon for my Big Chop! I'm so happy that I did because it looks great! I think if you're going to do the BC, you should to a least talk to a hairstylist or someone else that is going natural. I also watched a lot of Youtube videos and started following natural haircare blogs and websites. Do some research before you start!

So the natural journey begins....stay tuned.
