If you follow me on Instagram then you have already seen the "big" change. Your girl cut off her inches!
The last time my hair was this short was in 2014 when I first went natural. Admittedly my hair was still very damaged so it felt longer due to it still being stringy. This is the shortest my hair has ever been and I am in love. It was a big shock when I got in the shower and didn't have hair to wring out and when I couldn't get my bun to the top of my head, but nevertheless I'm still in love!
The change hit my heart randomly. I knew it was one of those things I had to act on and not overthink. I refused to talk myself out of the change that I knew I wanted/needed. As I saw the inches fall I got teary-eyed. I physically and emotionally felt the weight falling off of me. My hairdresser was so shocked I was cutting it so short due to my attachment to my hair. She kept asking me "You sure?". My answer every time was "Very sure. I'm ready".
I was asked what the reason for the change and my exact answer was "Detachment. My hair has always been such a part of my identity. Never been secure enough to really cut it until now. I do believe I am stepping into new energy and I wanted to do it with nothing weighing me down." Real, raw, and from the heart. If there is something that you need to rid yourself of - this is your sign. Detach from anyone or anything that is no longer serving you no matter how scary it may be. It is time to put down the things that no longer belong with you anymore. Give yourself the permission you need to move on. Enter the new year fresh, unattached, and free. May you be free - always, all ways.
