I cut my hair!
I had been speculating for years now. So I finally did it!
So why did I cut it??
To be honest, I just woke up one day and decide against relaxing my new growth. I haven 't relaxed my hair in 5 months and the hair really grew!!
What really made me choose to cut it was just the thought of having short hair and being able to enjoy it.
Past experiences with short natural hair:
Childhood
When I was a child in Nigeria, I 'm sure my hair was cut short, and it was probably because my mom was over it, but I SURE didn 't mind.

My edges were natural... While the rest of my hair were relaxed. Until now.
