Cry Baby
Sep 11
Okay, I wimped out. I couldn’t go through with letting the barber cut it all off. I started crying in the chair while he was cutting it, and then he finally broke down and said, “I can’t do. I can’t do it, Nikki. ”
But let me start by telling you why I was really getting it cut in the first place….
One of my locs in the top of my head had gotten extremely brittle and broke off, leaving a gap in the top. Well, nobody noticed it, but it troubled me. I liken it to wearing all white and getting a drop of spaghetti on your clothing. Nobody may even notice it, but I’ll know it’s there.
It was really irking me to see that gap in my hair, so I went through the tedious process of unlocking it. I thought by cutting my hair, I could have it evened up and start anew. I thought I wanted the barber to cut it to the point that I was damn near bald, but both the barber and I wimped out.
Instead, he left enough on my head for me to retwist, and that was the perfect compromise. So here’s the before and after.
Before & After
That is nice. I’m mad you in the barbershop crying.
Ya ‘fro is STILL tight!
Welllll for what it’s worth Nik, Fall and Winter are fast approaching. Can’t afford a mondo head cold, right? I like both cuts anyway.
it still looks great!
I think it looks great! When I first cut off my hair back in 2000, I made the barber shave it bald to the the scalp! I was on rebirth tip at the time but it really did help me start over in more ways than one. Kudos to you and your new do!
i like the new look, suits you just fine… just fine, indeed… you’ll have to keep us updated if you decide to lock again
Looks good! You’re making me miss my ‘fro – but I’m going to hang with the locks awhile and see what happens.
Hmm … For a couple of months now, I’ve been thinking about untwisting and getting it trimmed up a bit. Maybe this is a sign (smile).
Girl your fro is fly! I love to see a woman with enough confidence to rock one!
ok…so your eyeballing me in the second pic…showed me just how mad you was….you scared me!
Honestly…I like em both! Can we get a pic when you lock it up again?
