  • Yup. I know. Trust me, I know. I had to do this though. I am SO happy I did. It's a fresh start. I have my healthy hair again. I love my curls. I feel sexy, confident, and accomplished. It will grow back but I reached my goal of having long hair and I am having fun exploring this short hair!!

      StonedByBeauty x y’all will be in the comments crying “it’s just hair, it will grow back, you are not your hair” but when someone in the video says it they “got 2 strands of hair” and are “jealous.”
      Why don’t y’all just shut the hell up?

    You can tell there are some older, southern hand, type women in the comments. Those are women who still believe a woman's hair is HER! I loved the long hair and also the short. Her texuture is such that styling her short hair would be effortless and culs will always be poppin. Her face is cute & sometimes short hair brings more attn to facial features. Sister is winning either way!

      @SurreallTV you sound craxy as hell! I gave her a compliment and so did other ppl! If you were only able to gather " negativity" and/or toxicity from soneone saying... "long or short, you're gorgeous either way" I'd advise you get from underneath my comnent & brush up on your comprehension skills! You may also want to question why your perception is as it is! Have a nice night.

    I did the big chop almost 3 years ago from having hair that was a little longer than bra strap length all of my life.

    I am hairdresser for 25 years owned 3 salons, and deffinately think you did not have to go that short.....since the thickness was coming in good...hair and scalp oil treatments help with this process.
    Some people donate thier pony tails to cancer patients too..
    Beautiful lady, no need to go that short they could have worked out a nice hairstyle, in my opinion...
