I cut my hair a month ago and to some people it may not seem like I cut a lot off but I did!

I had always wanted to cut my hair but I didn't have a clue on how short I wanted to go. After my father passed in August and dealing with the aftermath. I knew the exact style I wanted to achieved. I did not want to go super short but I wanted my hair short enough to do twist outs, coils, and wash-n-go's.

It was on a Tuesday night, as I stared in the mirror with scissors in my hand I begin to cut 3 - 4 inches of my hair off with no regrets. I did not utter a sound and with each snip I felt a huge burden lifted. It was all the dead weight my hair was carrying- split ends, no trims, dryness, neglect and so much more. I remember my mom screaming "What are you doing?" which motivated me even more to keep cutting.

After I achieved the desired look, washed, conditioned and styled my hair. I remember looking in the mirror feeling confident, sexy and motivated to conquer the world. It felt like my hair was stopping me from my full potential. I know that may sound weird but it's my truth. I have been on a rollercoaster ride taking photos and wearing more make-up. I feel more like myself more than ever and I am so in love with my hair.

I've been able to achieve long lasting twist outs and coils with minimal frizz. Getting ready in the morning has been so easy. Here are a few pictures of my new cut.
