Carol’s Daughter Answers: The Big Chop or The Grow Out?

Carol’s Daughter Answers: The Big Chop or The Grow Out?

So you have decided to transition to your natural hair…. Congratulations! But you may find yourself asking “now what?” Contrary to what many may think, and obviously these women never attempted the transition, this IS a big deal. Don’t get overwhelmed; we are here to help!

There are two ways to approach your transition process: the Big Chop (BC) or the Grow out.

Think you are ready for the Big Chop? The whole thought of saying good bye to pony tails and hair tosses may scare the living day lights out of you. It’s ok, put the hot comb down. The BC is not for everyone.



Ladies, before you chop, wear your hair back, up and off of your face for at least one week. This feeling of being exposed is one that you should be completely comfortable with before you chop.

If you are still alive and in one piece after completing this task, I say go for it! Make sure you have a decent amount of new growth, no less than 1-2 inches to play with before you cut your hair. This way you have an option to play with shape or go a tad bit shorter if you are feeling bold.
