My Big Chop!

If you read my last post, you could tell that I was thinking about doing my big chop.
After work, I pulled out the scissors and started cutting my hair. I did not call anyone
because I was afraid that they would try to talk me out of it. I was all ready with my butterfly clips to section my hair off and everything lol. I co-washed my hair with Vo5. But then, I started having second thoughts lol. I was like,"Oh my goodness, what if I don't look right?" Something inside of me said "So what!", and I started to forget about the sections. I figured if I started cutting in the front, then I couldn't turn back. So I kept going. It felt sooo good to know that I could let go of something that people often emphasize as being an important part of your being. "I am not my hair"- India. Arie
I am a new natural!!! It feels great.

My Big Chop is done!
Here are my curls after the big chop. I had applied the Creme of Nature Leave-In-Conditioner.
After I finished the big chop, I washed it with the Creme of Nature Ultra Moisturizing Shampoo. I sat under the heating cap after applying the Organic Root Stimulator Hair Mayonnaise. Lastly, I applied the Creme of Nature  Leave-In- Conditioner (Lemongrass & Rosemary) My hair was very curly and dry. I re-wet my hair and  moisturized it with Shea Butter mixed with Castor Oil all through my hair. Then I used the Hollywood Olive Oil to seal in the moisture. I am still in shock. I cannot believe that I cut all of my hair off lol. But God is good. I am glad that I did :-) I will be posting more pictures as I dress my new haircut up a bit.

                                                                                                  God is good :-)
                                                                                                 Until Next Time....

Happy 5th Birthday in heaven Grandma :-)

Aborigines and Melanesians: Naturally Blonde Hair and Dark Skin

Melanesia: Solomon Island girls (photo courtesy of the -cropped-Flickr- Australian Civil-Military Centre http://www.acmc.gov.au/ ) Naturally blonde hair is often associated with white or Caucasian people. However, there are groups of dark skin people who have naturally blonde hair also. Some of these groups include the Aboriginal Australians (Aborigines) and the Melanesians. I love this fact because it goes against the idea that one group or culture must look a certain way or stay in a certain category.  The Aborigines have dark skin. Some of them also have blonde hair which tends to be straight, but can be curly. Scientists first believed they were descendants of Eurasians. In 2011, scientists found evidence against the theory from a sample of natural hair. The sample of hair, which was said to be more than 100 years old, helped scientists determine that Aborigines were descendants of Africans. The New York Times confirmed this finding: "The Abo...

Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk

1BlessedNatural: Sheryl Underwood Wears Natural Hair and Apologizes on The Talk (photo cred: CBS/The Talk) Yesterday, comedian and talk show host, Sheryl Underwood wore her natural hair onstage of the talk show, The Talk. She received a round of applause, and Sharon Osbourne commented that her Teenie Weenie Afro (TWA) was gorgeous. Underwood explained to her fellow co-hosts and audience that she'd done something wrong 2 years ago when she spoke against the actions of Heidi Klum for keeping her sons' Afro hair in a bag as a keepsake. She said the hair was "nasty." Underwood received backlash for her words, especially from the Black community. They were viewed as examples of self-hatred among other things. On Monday's episode of The Talk Sheryl Underwood apologized a second time for her 2013 statement by saying this: I made some statements that were not only wrong, they hurt our community. When I say, "our community," I mean Black ...

Priscilla Shirer Shares Her Natural Hair Story and Tips on IG Live!

Actress and minister of Going Beyond Ministries Priscilla Shirer shared her natural hair story and secrets on IG Live today. After receiving numerous questions about her long thick natural hair, she decided it was time to do a video. Shirer said, "I've decided that sometimes, to a woman, hair = ministry." Shirer started getting a perm at about 13 years old. During previous years, her mother would use the hot comb to straighten her hair. When Shirer was 24 years old, she noticed a circular patch of hair that had broken off on the side of her head. After she visited a doctor and they plucked a few strands from different parts of her hair, the doctor concluded that Shirer's hair was growing in healthy. However, it was something that she was doing to her hair that was making it break off. As a result, her doctor told her to stop relaxing her hair for 6 months. While driving home, Shirer had a breakthrough. She originally had no intention of following the doctor...
