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?
