Getting it done

Whenever you plan to do the big chop get it done right. You want to do what is best for your hair by cutting off the perm. Don’t defeat the purpose by damaging your hair when you cut it. If you don’t have a good pair of hair trimming scissors, go and get a pair at your local beauty supply or drug store.

Please Do Not cut your hair with any old pair of scissors you have lying around the house. That is a recipe for starting your hair off with damaged ends. Now and when ever you trim your hair you should use hair trimming scissors and those scissors should only be used to trim hair.

If you don’t feel up to doing it, yourself go and get it done at a salon. If you don’t have a natural hair care salon aka a salon that is supportive of natural hair, consider going to a white or multiracial hair salon. Why? They usually will not give you stress about cutting your hair. Try to find one with younger stylists.

When I did my first BC I went from collar bone length relaxed hair to a one inch teeny-weeny-afro (TWA). I went to the Hair Cuttery in the mall. They were used to cutting black men’s hair so doing mine was no problem. The stylist asked me once if I was sure. Then she started from the front and proceeded to work backward. Before I could second guess myself it was done.
