You betta do it!

Bald hair don't care...that is my new motto as I begin my natural hair journey.  Yep you heard me, I did the BC or big chop today!  My hair is all gone.  Despite that I have cut my hair off in the past, this experience was a bit different.  The first time I cut it was just because.  It was a terrible experience.  At that point in my life I didn't have the confidence to wear it.  The second time it was because of a haircut gone bad.  The cut looked phenomenal though--the cause for the haircut created an effect of satisfaction after coming back from such a hair trauma. 

This time the first thing I felt was fear.  What if this is a total flop?  The thought that this may be a failure made me scared to even try it.  The next emotion was excitement.  I have been talking about doing this for a few weeks now and to finally begin my transition was almost overwhelming.  When she turned me to the mirror all I could feel was relief.  I feared that this chop would be like the first one, but when I saw it I knew I could carry it.
