When I am asked, and it is quite often, what is the best way to go natural, I always say that there is no best way because it’s hard to tell since every one is different and has their ownjourney. However, if you want to know whether you are ready for the big chop, feel free to check this list to see out if it’s time.

\When I am asked, and it is quite often, what is the best way to go natural, I always say that there is no best way because it’s hard to tell since every one is different and has their ownjourney. However, if you want to know whether you are ready for the big chop, feel free to check this list to see out if it’s time. You know you are ready for the Big Chop when:

1. You are just so sick and tired of breaking ends.
2. The tangling of your natural texture with the straight ends becomes more and more unmanageable.
3. You want to get rid of your unhealthy straight ends so bad.
4. You don’t have the patience to find styles that work for two opposite textures any longer.
5. You can’t stop dreaming of what your hair would look like natural.
6. You can’t stop dreaming of what your hair would feel like if it were completely natural.
7. You have a gazillion hairstyles in mind that you like to try once you get natural.
8. The urge to cut becomes more and more uncontrollable.
9. Imagining yourself with a natural hairstyle puts a smile on your face
