It’s Just Hair!!!

It’s Just Hair!

Hey boo hey! Baby! This summer heat has been unbearable! I’ve been so busy that  I cut my hair low, so low that I sleep in  a cute durag. The decision to cut my hair down was amazing for this season. Coco Chanel said, “A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life”. Cutting your hair can be pivotal, scary and freeing all at once. 

For a lot of women, it’s hard to even get their ends trimmed, so to cut 3 – 7 inches or even low enough for a brush is traumatizing. Whew, chile’ when a client tells me they don’t want their ends trimmed, I think “Oy-Vey”! Even though “it’s just hair”, women are so attached to it. Long hair is beautiful but it can hold weight and memories. Long hair can even weigh us down emotionally therefore making it a liberating experience when it is cut. When I saw my hair on the floor, I felt refreshed, free and lighter. I followed the cut with a shampoo followed by a peppermint conditioning treatment to give my scalp a refreshing cleanse to match my energy. Cutting or changing your hair can be symbolic of the change that we are going through in life. Cutting your hair is one of the quickest ways to express the internal change.

Hair is an outward expression of how we’re feeling and often can  influence our mood.  When we feel we look good, and it flows into other areas of life.
