Saturn I gotchu in the PM.   Let me know (better yet, show me) how your cut goes, too!

Since cutting my own hair (and wearing it out), I'm looking at these pics with new eyes.

I missed the picture, post it again.

going to a natural stylist will probably be a good thing for you...they can give you good pointers...did u buy books and stuff when you transitioned so u could learn proper hair care?

Nah...but I was (and fairly still am) a frequenter of the largest natural hair site....(i don't want to mention its name, but you surely know which it is).  That site holds a wealth of info and is the one-stop-shop for anyone going natural.

bronwyn you are BEAUTIFUL and for your information i really didn't think ur afro ( before u cut it with the coils) looked bad at all...i think you are too hard on yourself...have you tried going to a natural stylist?

*blush*  Thanks CS.   

With my hair, it doesn't *look* as damaged as it is (was). I think that pic i posted looked pretty bad....(LOL, at the time I used to say that it looked like something tried to EAT my hair or set it on fire!) , but people are surprised when I say my hair is (was) broken and split all over. 

But no ive never been to a natural stylist.  I just never believed they could help me. *shrug*

How about using a afro comb and blow drying your hair so it can separate all the knots and whatnot, so you don't have to cut your hair, or won't that work.

Saturn was the one who said she had the knots.

Mine isn't knots...it's split and splintered ends galore.

But um anyway....mission completed.  Check the avi to your left

<~~~~~~~~

Looks good. 

[Vashti Lebron]

Appreciate it, Dawn! That's really nice    

Honestly i don't think im ugly, but over my life ive been made to feel that i am....which always kinda confused me. 

But Hair today, Gone tomorrow....yipyip!

This cut looks kind of manly, eh?

I said I liked the photos above, but this would be an exception for the reason you stated.

NYWM your comment made me laugh.  (yes, am v.immature sometimes )

I like the photos above. Their hair looks neatly groomed and it works for them. Not every woman has the "right face" for short hair, but these women do, in my opinion.

Bronwyn, that may be the way to go for you. I suppose it would also be less hassle to maintain.

Yeah, it makes the most sense, i guess.  But like other ladies, I'd prefer to have longer hair.  That picture was from two years ago and when I cut it off, I covered it with a scrunchy thing.  And the time before that, I covered it with full scarves for 8 months.

I am considering it though..to start over....the only thing is that I'd need to make sure my skin is in the best shape possible since short hair brings all the attention to your face.

i feel like a doctor or scientist or something...i feel this huge need or urge to ask you a BUNCH of questions to find out why your hair is breaking off...but i'm not going to sit down and type 100 questions for you to answer and then give you my UNprofessional opinion.

Yeah it's a mystery to me because I don't do anything to harm my hair (heat, relaxers, hair color, excessive brushing, etc....).  My diet isn't the best, but even when I was drinking only water for months and eating fairly regularly in college.....same thing.   And most of the black women/girls I know don't do anything particular with their diet to have healthy hair.  So, it doesn't matter what I do or don't do. 

Oh well.....

will you post a close up pic of your hair i want see what this "crap" looks like! 

I just took a few just now for you Dawn that I'll PM you later  since you asked.

I know others may be curious so the following is a picture from June 2009 when I was the most frustrated with my hair.

It's in a similar state now, but I conceal(ed) it very well in a puff.



The pic is from two years ago....I cut most of it three months later.

Hahhaha....I bet you all believe me now when i talk about my hair.

B. i have always imagined you having a big afro.

And when you say you want to go for the big chop do you mean like cutting everything until you have nothing left or do you mean like having small afros like the pictures on here?

Dutch you probably remember my first avatar i had on here.  I used to have a decent afro. 

Even then my hair gave me trouble..the splits wouldn't allow it to get longer in length...but it was better than it has been the past couple years.

The last time I cut it, it was more like the pictures here.  I don't have clippers and I didn't have it professionally done.  I just took some scissors and hacked.

I don't know that I'll do it.  I REALLY don't want to cut my hair again...especially since it obviously didn't improve anything.

I've been getting so many knots lately. It hasn't ever been like that before. These knots are not at the end, they are in the middle or towards the top. I have already had to cut some out so I figured, why not cut it all.

Haha...I didn't say my hair cut looked good.  LOL.  I cut a bunch off the top...then I got scared and didn't cut the rest so short.  I wore one of those scrunchy looking headbands around it.

Yea that must be the reason why i always assumed you had a big afro, WOow you actually cut your own hair that is well good, i remember i tried to cut a fringe once and boy oh boy did i mess up i hardly had any hair at the front of my face, had to wear a headband for a few months until my fringe grew 

[Vashti Lebron]

Oh and by the way, the coily-ness in the middle is due to a twist out. My hair doesn't naturally curl or coil.

Well you always hear me complaining about my hair....it's always split, breaking off, my "unintentional mohawk".  The sheamoisture stuff seemed to be doing some good, and i was optimistic, but now, not so much. My hair is constant crap and has been for years...(just speaking on it's condition, not the texture)

by the way, if you don't want to show your face you can hide you can black it out or something.

p.s.  i'm feelin' the short hair too.  don't make me go and cut mine off as well!

hmmm interesting, why are you both thinking of big chopping, again?

[Vashti Lebron]

I'm about one day away from chopping my hair off again.

Saturn, are we on parallel paths or something?

I've been tentatively thinking about it too.  My hair is getting on my nerves.
