How people might perceive you after the Big Chop

Written By Bold Apps - January 22 2015

Posted by HMH Blogger  By Patience Muia Assumptions that people will make after you choose to go for the big chop will either be positive or negative. It is totally beyond your control to stop people from imagining reasons as to why you went for the big chop. Here is how some people might perceive you:

1. You are crazy

People may tend to think that a person is an insane mind cannot chop off long and pretty hair. Even after lengthy and detailed explanations, people may still not get the sense in your actions.

2. He is mistreating you

Cutting one's hair is very liberating. Rumour mongers will be tempted to think that you have either broken up with your man or you are in bad terms with him. They may think that you chopped off your hair to mark an ending or beginning of a new relationship.

3. Undergoing a mid-life crisis

When women are going through tough and trying times in their lives, we find that their hair is very prone to a big chop in order to mark that period. The good and encouraging thing is that chopped hair will always grow back in little or no time.

4. You lost your hair

Other people may also think that you have lost your hair to balding, damage or even accidents.

5. Health issues

Sadly, cutting off our hair may not work well for everyone. The final look may be very disappointing and unfair for some of us. As a result, some may end up looking like they have very serious health problems. Logically, people should not confuse your choice to chop off your hair for health problems. People’s assumptions should in no way affect your confidence in your short hair. It is your duty to let your self-esteem come from the deepest part of you and let it be evident in your face and actions.

Reasons Why People Fail in Their Transition to Natural Hair

Written By Bold Apps - December 18 2014

Posted by HMH Blogger By Patience Muia For most people transition to natural hair is not an easy process. Some have two trials before success, while others have up to eleven trials to finally embrace the new hairstyle. From experience, I have realized that it is usual to find people struggling with natural hair especially in the early stages. Here are some reasons why transition may be difficult and regarding how to handle such difficulties. • You are not comfortable with the reflection in the mirror Some people were lucky enough to grow up with natural hair and therefore they have no problem seeing themselves with natural hair. If you were relaxed at a young age, it is obvious that you are used to the image of straight hair. If you were used to relaxed hair, you might find it difficult dealing with the idea of embracing natural hair as it appears to be a relapse to childhood. If you need a smooth transition, you have to spend time looking yourself in the mirror so that you can learn to embrace your new hairstyle. Accepting that new image might take seconds for some while others might end up struggling with it for years. • Negative Feedback from Family and Friends

You should learn to deal with people who keep on telling you how your hair look like especially if the comments are negative. It is your hair and therefore you should be proud of it. It is always your choice to select your reaction to negative comments, and there are different ways of dealing with such people. You might decide to ignore them or simply educate them. Educating the person is the best option especially if the person is a close friend or family member. • Lack of Proper Research

Information about natural hair is available on many blogs, vlogs and forums. It is not always a good idea to stick to some small set of information, and emulating someone else’s routine might make natural hair transition totally difficult.
