    Four Year Big Chop Anniversary Reflections (VIDEO)

    How I felt after big chop
    Cutting all of my relaxed hair off in my bathroom in May 2010 was probably one of the bravest things that I’ve done so far in my life. I know that a lot of you are transitioning or have relaxed hair and considering doing the big chop. That’s why I wanted to share my experience in this short video.

    Feel free to share your experience with the Rattles and Heels community if you’ve done the big chop. What motivated you to do it? Did you want to return to relaxing your hair? Did you embrace your natural hair right away?

    Every woman has a hair story and this is mine.

    I began to relax as a preteen and continued to do so until November 2009. My plan was to transition for two years but I ended up doing a Big Chop in May 2010. Since then, I’ve been wearing my hair natural and I’ve never enjoyed my hair more. It’s been a fun experience but I’ve definitely faced some challenges.
