I am telling you STRESS is real.  This journey is so important to me, recognizing the triggers in my life and working towards a positive outcome.

When I sat in the barber’s chair and saw my hair fall to the floor, it felt both scary and exhilarating!  For those of you who made the BIG CHOP, I know you feel me!  It’s not just about cute styles and accessorizing the look, it requires some care too.

• You can use a pre-shave oil, soap, or cream from ART OF SHAVING also available on AMAZON.
• It’s recommended to rinse with cold water as this will close up your pores.
