A (really) big chop
Soul signer Chrisette Michele recently decided to go natural and cut off all of her hair. . .and when I say all, I mean everything. When I decided to cut my hair, I brooded over it for about a week. I fretted over the stigmas of having short hair. Would men still find my beautiful? Would a short haircut fit my face? Would my hair “fit in” in the corporate world? In the end, I decided to cut it simply because I wanted to do so. . . it’s just hair, right?
In an interview with Vibe.com, Chrisette had this to say about her big chop:
“My advice to women all around the country is to keep it simple. Don’t make everything such a big deal and don’t be so judgmental as to why other people do things. Jst enjoy them. . . Sometimes I wish, especially in African American community, that Black women would just calm down and have a little bit more fun.”
So tell me, could you chop off all of your hair?
