Can Everyone Please Stop Calling My Big Chop "Brave"?
"I want it really short," I told my hairstylist Derrick Keith four weeks ago, while sitting in the salon chair at Hairstory Studio. After a 15-month hiatus in Los Angeles, I was back in New York City and experiencing culture shock with the heat and humidity. In an effort to cool off, I decided to chop off six inches of my 3C curly hair. Keith hooked me up with an undercut to keep any hair off my neck, and then gave me curl definition by twisting my hair and implementing a rod. Just like that, I went from shoulder-length hair to a chic, short pixie cut — and I loved it.
