Calling all transitioners! There's comes a point in time where your natural hair and your permed ends will battle. Your hair will start to tangle and knot, and sadly your hair also is at risk for major breakage, marking a pinnacle moment in your transitioning period. What should you do? CUT IT OFF! Yeah, I said it. When two completely different hair textures (i.e. straight vs curly) are battling on one head, this is a sign that the you need chop those permed straight ends off and let the natural hair flow. This process is better known as the Big Chop.
Some of us haven't a clue about how to cut your natural hair properly. No need to do the big chop yourself. I have compiled a list of the top natural hair salons in major cities across the nation to help you find your natural hair haven. I hear these places are simply fantastic in they specialize in naturally curly kinky and wavy hair. Check them out!

Hey...No fair, what happened to Florida???
You are right on time with this article. I just did my BC and I got tired of struggling with the two textures. I transitioned for just shy of a year and now I love my hair in it's natural form. I never realized how thick my hair was. I did my own BC but I do need to find a good stylist to shape it for me. So again I say: No fair, what happened to Florida???
Yep this is a great entry :o) I am currently writing a hair story starting from the big chop phase - so it's timely for me too.
P.S. - You've been tagged - see my site for the rules!

Sorry about the double-post. Leave it to me to post twice - I think I have word-verification-dyslexia or maybe it's because I was at work suppose to be working :o)
