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!
