I know I'm pretty new here, but thought I'd share my recent hair transformation photos. I had the relaxed hair cut off, and then went blonde. I may process it again next weekend. My hair has never been this short or blonde.

btw, my former alias was metaphysique.

you are stunning, my goodness!

also, this is funny because i've been pinning a billion tapered twa pics all night. i'm scared to take the plunge but omg, the cut is so cute.

I used this picture for inspiration. I went a Great Clips nearby. I wasn't sure if they had a stylist that works with AA and mixed hair. I've had bad cut jobs in the past and wanted to avoid that mess again. But the lady said she's done the big chop before, which put me at ease.

My mom was shocked. She's been thinking about it here and there, but isn't sure yet. My sister did it last year and then got box braids over the summer. I really love the look of box braids. I was a kid the last time I had them.

hahahah this is the pic i keep staring at:

i can't believe you got so lucky with somebody who knew what she was doing!!! ugh, it's so hard to find somebody i can trust with my hair. she did a fantastic job on yours.

your cheekbones are insane.

I know, right? I was crossing my fingers that it would turn out great. When I lived in Atlanta I went to a salon that specialized in natural hair care, and the stylist always did a fantastic job. There aren't that many salons in my area, at least not within 20 min.

I'm still working on my mom. I think she's worried how it will be received in her workplace (in Atlanta?). Her edges were really damaged by glue in extensions, and she's been trying to grow it out. I don't think she has any clue what her natural hair looks like. She's been getting relaxers since her teen years. I really like that photo. I'll save that and send it to her and find some others she may like.
