Alyssa Is Naturally Glam!
Were you a transitioner or a Big Chopper? What was your journey like?
The first time I went natural I transitioned and the second time I Big chopped.
No, when I was younger I was teased for having “good hair” therefore, I wanted my hair to more kinky so I did not like the my hair.
How did family and friends react to your decision to go natural? What was your response to them?
I went natural twice. The first time my family had mixed feelings. Many wanted to know why I cut my hair and many thought I had a nice curl pattern but wanted me to keep it pressed. The second time I went natural when I big chopped most of my family was upset that I cut my hair even lower this time. A few of them enjoy my short fade but most of the women ask me to grow my hair out.
