The members of the Chick family will be doing their own thing this weekend. Mr. AuburnChick is taking Soccer Chick to a soccer weekend. Rockin’ Rooster will be going to an Auburn game with his cousin, and I am staying home to babysit the animals (and save a passel of money…which I’ll spend on the next big trip…think VEGAS).
So, what does a girl do when she has the weekend to herself? She spends time pampering herself.
First of all, I have a gift card to Kohl’s, which I still haven’t spent. Can you believe that I’ve had it since March and haven’t stepped foot into the store yet? Shocking, I know. Especially when you hear that I drive by said store every single day…at least two times per day. It’s only about a mile and a half from my home too!
Pampering should also include things that beautify yourself, so I’ve been contemplating cutting my hair.
You might remember this picture…
The curl you see is natural, and it is VERY thick. This limits me in what I can do with it. Too short is not good. I’ve done the afro look before (not my choosing, but my mom’s when I was a young chick…you’ll NEVER see those school pictures).
I’m thinking that I might like to cut it to my shoulders, which would still be a big change.
You know how you just get in the mood for something different? Well, that’s how I’m feeling. I’m of the opinion that it’s only hair…it will grow back.
However, being the fickle person that I am, I’m still going back and forth and hence enlisting help.
What do you think? I’d love to hear your opinions. Hurry though! With the family out of town, I’d love to take care of business this weekend.
Mucho gracious!

I think to the shoulders would look great!!
I have relatively thick hair that is curly, but not as curly as yours. I would start with just the shoulders and see how it responds from there. I am a die hard no product person. I don’t blow dry, nothing. Gosh, spray jel is way hard for me. My hair now is at my neck, but I have thinner hair than you. I do get the afro effect sometimes. Start with the shoulders.
Oh my goodness, I would give ANYTHING to have such beautiful thick curly hair – I have spent thousands of dollars through the years trying to get my thin, dead straight hair to look halfway decent.
If you do cut, I am sure the charity that makes wigs for cancer survivors would looooove to have it!
I say cut it. Have you thought about getting it layered so that it doesn’t poof out as big at a shorter length?
I say dont take it above the shoulders. With that curl & body – you dont want a boxy look – at least below your shoulders may give it some pull down!
I’m anxious to see what it look like!!! Good luck!
