The Big Chop...

No, not really. I still have not gotten myself to that place of comfort where I can just chop off all the relaxed, and in some cases, heat damaged hair and rock my TWA. Although, I am a whole lot more confident now that I've decided to take this journey, apparently I am still struggling to take it to that next level. Everyday...EVERYDAY, I want so badly to just pick up my scissors and go to work, but I chicken out every time. Why I don't know because it's a lot more work to transition, especially after you've done so for 9 months and then you lose all that natural new growth to heat damage. I know that this decision is much more difficult for me now because my hair will be a lot shorter than it would have been had I cut it prior to the heat damage. ARGHHHHHHH!!!!! It's almost like I carried my natural hair baby for nine months and just when I was about to give birth to my TWA, lost it! So, to say the least, the burden of discouragement is weighing heavy on me right now. BUT...nonetheless, I have continued to stay the course and continue on this journey. I pray one day soon I will get the courage to go ahead and cut it so that I can truly start fresh.
