Do you want to go natural? Want to do the Big Chop (BC) but can't face it? Well, there's an alternatives, the Stepped Chop! That's my name for it. The biggest reason that most people don't or can't big chop is the psychologically trauma of the whole thing. Most girls love the dead cells that are their hair and the longer your hair, the harder it is to BC. Society has conditioned us to believe that longer is better. Well one of my Twitter followers just showed me this alternative: She had 10-12 inches of hair so to ease herself into having shorter hair she chopped off three inches off at a time over a ten day period. If this appeals to you then do the same. Book three salon appointments on three consecutive Saturdays and remove a third of what needs to go each time. I must say, I hadn't thought of this alternative before but it totally makes sense. If you have any friends that are too scared to BC tell them about the Stepped Chop. Going natural doesn't have to be so scary! ~ Heather ![]() Get your FREE ebook on How To Grow Long, Healthy Natural Kinky or Curly Hair. |

Sometimes it has nothing to do with psychological it has to do with the factor some ppl are use to maintaining and caring for their lenght of hair and would not know what to do if it was a different lenght. I speak from experience. I will do the step chop but I can't do the big chop b/c I would not know what to do with my hair if it was that short.
