The BIG Chop

5 years ago this December, I made a BIG decision. I'd already cut out as much relaxer from my hair as I could earlier that summer 2010. But this event would prove to solidify my resolve to go and stay natural. 

I didn't go it alone, either! Here's video of my and other ladies' transition to natural just before the New Year, captured by Amber Magazine.  

Check out my journey to natural hair (@ 1:00) at Khamit Kink's BIG CHOP Event in Brooklyn, NY!
