I think I'm going to do the big chop...

[EARFQUAKE]

Not because I'm team natural, I really don't care for the natural look or feel, but my hair in its current state is fuu.

I've had so much breakage that I don't believe my hair can get back to the length it used to be if I continue what i'm doing. It's growing but I'm afraid to relax it again.

I'm also afraid of cutting off all my hair

Don't get me wrong, I've cut it short before and it grew back even longer, but I'm like...about to get a fade and I'm not sure if my head shape can handle that

There's also the issue of having to wear a protective style constantly until my hair looks decent for public. I might do crotchet braids but we shall see.

Why the face?

My hair is the WOAT when natural.

Do you mean because of how it looks or maintenance?

Both. When I went natural about two or three years ago it was a nightmare. This time I plan on trying to stick with and starting off shorter than before...

I think you have a good size head for either shaved or a low fade from what I can remember ( post up some head shots)

I guess it all depends on what your comfortable with, a good reset my be great for your hair going forward.


I'm a big fan of natural hair so I'm kind of bias, however I think straighten hair on some black women is amazing too.


I think your head and face type allows for either.

I recommend transitioning, if you have the patience for it.

You'll have much longer length faster.

Get a trim, clarifying shampoo wash, hardcore protein treatment, and a moisturizing deep conditioning treatment every 4-6 weeks until you see improvement. You can wear your hair in buns, braids, etc. for protective styling.

Also, what's causing the breakage? Hair color, tension, stress?
