To B.C. or Not to B.C.- That is the Question!

Hello everyone,

As I mentioned in the last post, I am seriously thinking about doing a Big Chop! Not because transitioning is too difficult or anything, but because 1) I am impatient/ excited and 2) I will be going on vacation this week!

Although transitioning is going well, I don't really want to be on my all-inclusive vacation fussing with my hair. The best way I know how to make tough decisions to to list the pros and cons, so here they go. If you have any pros or cons to add to my list, please, help a sistah out!

PROS

1. I won't have to spend 2+ hours washing and detangling my hair while on vacation and in general
2. It would be a cute change
3. This may be the only time I'll get to see my hair short
4. I can always put braids in if it doesn't look good
5. No weather worries (no more running for cover at the slightest sign of rain or humidity

CONS

1. I may not like the look
2. If I don't like the look I will feel self-conscious on my vacation (and for several months after)
3. My styling options will be limited (no more up dos for a while)
4. If it doesn't look good, I can put braids in, but not in time for my vacation!
5. Negative/ weird attitude from others, particularly at work

What to do, what to do?

Well, the pros and cons list is tied up! Guess I actually have to figure out what I really want to do!

Let me ponder on this a little more.
