As you may know, I suffered pretty severe heat damage to my hair from constant direct heat (blow-dryers, flat irons, etc) which left my natural hair in a relaxed state. So, as of November 2009, I have been on a heat hiatus, re-claiming my natural kinks, curls, and coils. I contemplated cutting my hair for the New Year, but I got scared. I remembered when I shaved my head in 2002, as it grew out, the TWA (teeny-weeny afro) was not my friend. I resorted to all sorts of scarfs to hide my hair. This feeling haunted me for the last few months and told myself over and over again to WAIT!
Well, after a comforting conversation with one of my friends/big sister/fellow natural, I decided to just do it. So, this morning at 12am I did the BC (big chop) for the third time.
