QuoteReplyTopic: People who did the BC themselves... Posted: February 09 2006 at 2:20pm
Thanx! I did it. Well my mom did
it. I had my hair in 3 ponytails and cut those off. I really liked that
short, choppy look. I should've gotten that cut before it was time to
BC. I was so scared and nervous but I just did it anyway. I'm really
glad I did it. I love it. Then I shampooed my hair and my mom cut the
relaxed ends off while the shampoo was still in. I still have some
straight ends hanging on. I keep snipping them when I see them. I did
the front myself. Maybe in a couple of months I'll go and get it shaped
up. I like it short so I don't know if I want to keep it short. Any
tips for taking care of my natural hair?

If you plan on having your hair cut really short (buzzed) it may be best if you go to a barber. They're really cheap (about 13.00 in Atlanta) and that's to get it all cut. That would be better than risking giving yourself a bad cut.
If you weren't planning on having it cut quite that short, nevermind.
Hair type: who knows?
Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06
MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!!
Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so
ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH!

Congrats Layla!!! Well I just had scissors when I chopped. My mom chopped off half of my hair off. She was nervous lol she thought I wouldn't like it. But I told her it won't matter because if its cut then I have to accept it until it grows back.
After she cut...I went into the rest room (with alot of light) and wet my hair so I could see the different textures. There is no way for me to explain how I cut the back...I think I just felt around the textures (pen springs from relaxed hair) and decided from there. At the end. I liked it alot.
Hey! When you do it let us know...tell us the whole story. Good luck.
I was planning on going to the salon to do the BC, but I think I'll
just do it myself with help from my mom. Can you tell me step-by-step
how you did it , if you remember. If not, any tips? TIA I think I might do it tomorrow.
