Big-Chop Turn Signature Look

-
Hey Sistas, so many natural girls did the big- chop to start on their natural hair journey. Although, I did not do the big -chop I transitioned, many girls feel like the big- chop is easier than waiting until all the relaxer is fully gone. The big -chop is a big step. Many girls feel that they are defined by their hair and without it they will not feel as feminine.

Meet Sydney Henderson she did the big- chop and never looked back! Sydney did the big -chop in the beginning of 2018. Sydney felt it was time for a change and doing the big- chop would help. Sydney said it took her some time to get adjusted to her super low cut, but it helped her embrace her natural beauty and confidence. The big -chop is super easy for Sydney to manage especially by her being student- athlete, running track. Sydney said sometime she does have the urge to want to grow her hair back but the low cut is her signature style now. When Sydney first got the big-shop she had hair withdrawals and wanted to grow her hair back and put weave in it.

Sydney gave tips on her daily routine with having a low-cut.
1.     She wets her hair and puts leave in curl milk (Crème of Nature) or conditioner (Shea Moisture) with Ecostyle gel or mousse.   
2.     Next she uses oil on her hair to make sure it stays moisturized.

3.     She lets the products air dry and heads out the door!

At night she puts curl milk (Crème of Nature) in her hair after she gets out of the shower.


Many people feel the big chop is not for them but its for everyone. I personally feel like the big- chop  
gives you way more confidence. When we are young people stress the importance of having long pretty hair. In reality there is nothing wrong with having a short low-cut. I feel like low-cuts definitely shows off your natural beauty. Hair does not define who we are as African- American women. Many women have embraced the big-chop and it has become their signature look. Super Stars like Lupita Nyong’o and Solange Knowles have made it popular to wear short natural hair. The idea of having natural hair is to embrace it and be confident. Keep rocking the big -chop, Bye Sistas!

Nighttime Routine

-
Hey Sistas, I have a video showing you how I take care of my wig while my natural hair is braided under the wig. It is important to take care of your weave and your natural hair while wearing a wig. I have had this hair for two years but the first time I wore the hair as a sew in. I let a friend make a wig out of it and this is how I have been wearing my hair lately.   At night rime I detangle my hair and add OGX conditioner and water to it.   I mix OGX conditioner and water in a spray bottle and I wet my hair all the way through. After I wet my hair all the way through I comb through it once again to make sure it is all detangled. Next I twist my hair up and I take my wig off at night and place it on a styrofoam wig head to dry overnight. In the morning I wake up put my wig cap on and place my wig on top of the wig cap. I also oil my natural hair at night with Tea Tree Oil to insure my real hair is still getting moisture. This nighttime routine is super easy and it leaves my w

Hey Sistas, many girls in college are natural and love their natural hair, but it can definitely be a hassle. There are those day where you just really don’t know what to do with your hair. Many college girls choose to wear protective hairstyles such as; braids, weave, wigs and twist.   Between classes, homework, work, and extra-curricular activities protective hairstyles are easier to maintain. I sat down with Dana Mitchell to talk about her natural hair journey and protective hairstyles. Q: When did you become natural? A: I became natural around 2015. I was tired of my relaxed hair and it was not growing how I wanted it. Q: How has your natural hair journey been? A: My natural hair journey has been great!   I will say going natural was the best thing I could have done. My hair has grown way longer and it is thick and healthier. Q: Did you transition or did you do the big chop? A: I transitioned; I did not have the guts to cut my hair. I was scared I would look fun

Hey Sistas, a wash and go is my go to hair style. It is super simple in the summer; especially for me I just wash my hair and go. The name tells it all; basically you wash your hair and go on with your day. Although, a wash and go is simple for me it is a harder for others especially trying to find the right products. A lot of products are not needed for a wash and go but you still have to attempt to add in something that will give your natural hair some shine and moisture. Here are the steps to achieve a  successful wash and go.  1.       First Co-wash your hair with a conditioner ( OGX Biotin & Collagen). Washing helps get rid of all the product build up. Using conditioner to co-wash helps moisturize your hair. Shampoo strips your hair of its moisture that is why it is importation to co-wash with conditioner.  2.       While I’m co-washing my hair I part my hair into section and detangle my hair with a wide tooth comb. A wide tooth comb really separates the h
