    The Big Chop follows 10 year old Kris on her natural hair journey of self love and acceptance. Once a die hard lover of her big afro, negative hints from her mom and teasing on the playground causes Kris to get a perm. She continues to perm her hair as an adult until one day she has had enough. She stands in the mirror and does the "big chop."

    🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 THANK YOU FOR THIS!! I have so much thick curly hair. I was the only one in my family who had hair like mine and my mixed mother and grandmother did not know what to do with my hair. I grew up with so much hair trauma from hot combs, to braids, perms, whole days spent at someone's house or the shop...it wasn't until I was 26 that I had finally moved to a place I knew my natural hair would be accepted the Bay Area of California and I did my big chop after watching the Bob Marley Doc on 4/20 and I went through what I called the "Little Orphan Annie" stage similar to her hair length after her chop and when I felt my hair texture and the SOFTNESS of my beautiful curls I mean I still cry over it sometimes how I was always told my hair was nappy and difficult but they envied the volume 🙄 I'm do glad that natural hair is normalized bc us 90s kids in the Just for Me era... just forrr meee.. lol we all traumatized. I always encourage people to feel free loving their natural hair!!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!! So much AMOR to the cast and crew for this short!! I LOVED it and shoutout to the little girl!! Keep acting!! Also I'm on my 4th year of locs and tho I miss my fro at least I know I'm never going back to the creamy crack almost 10 years NATURAL ✊🏾

    I think some people put to much emphasis on hair. Some people allow their hair to define them. I look at my as an accessory and I love it no matter what. No matter if it’s straight, curly, relaxed, natural, braided or with a sew in.

      Anonymous Woman relaxers are bad for health, and I very strongly feel that they have been promoted for young black girls in order for them to fit into the Eurocentric beauty standard our society has. You may disagree with me, but I think it is important to recognize that pre-colonial African societies never chemically straightened their hair, and their hair was a big sign of beauty and class.

      It’s more about not being afraid to embrace what you’re born with, if you don’t mind being natural then that’s not a problem, but if your so uncomfortable with your natural hair that you have to get a relaxer every month or so to look good then something should b fixed

    I can’t even express how perfect this is! My name is Crys, my husband’s name is Thomas, I didn’t do the big chop but I did have several meltdowns over my hair when I was transitioning lol and I’ve broken many-a-comb in my younger years lol thank you for this refreshing reminder of why I went natural! (That’s a wig in my profile pic lol!)
