My Big Chop Story









I did my big chop at the end of December and kept it under wraps from my husband for a month.  I told him I was going to cut the relaxed ends from my hair before I did it; his response was... "no you're not; I don't like women with natural hair.  After I gave him the eye and asked him what he meant by women:-/  He couldn't come up with one real reason why he didn't like natural hair "on women".  I came up with a reason. Since we have been together I've always shoulder length or longer hair.  I believe it was a ploy to bully me into not cutting my hair.  Let me tell you how I kept my BC from him for a whole month.  I work in an environment where I can where a baseball cap, and at night I started wearing a satin bonnet.  I guess he noticed one night that he hadn't seen my hair in a while and he took the bonnet of my head and dropped his jaw.  Since that night I have been out of the natural hair closet; in my personal life; I have yet to come out at work.  My husband has now accepted my BC, but he’s not loving it yet; he loves long hair.  It will be at least a year or two before my hair is long again; so until then; I’ll try to wear cute hair styles and clothes, a little make up, and nice earrings; he likes when I’m "going out on a date cute" :-)
