Cut Your Hair Man!!!

Upon the release of his smash album, The Big Bang, Busta Rhymes hacked off the locks we grew to love. Rapper turned actor, Ludacris trimmed off his braids too. Even Law & Order: SVU star, ICE-T nipped off his pony tail recently.

So I decided to cut my hair too.

Since December of '06, I had been letting my hair grow and grow. Sprouting into a coiled, mini fro it became my trademark. So much so that we even developed a logo with a man who had an afro.

As the hair got longer and longer, so did the maintenance responsibility. So thick the hair became, I had to wash it if I wanted to comb it. Then after I finished combing and picking it, if you looked on the floor, you would think it snowed curls. Not to mention the constant battle I used to have with lint balls and the fact that it took forever to dry.

Weary from the strenuous undertaking, fed up with the post-hairpick cleaning of the bathroom floor and just plain old sick and tired, I crossed back over and chopped off my afro.

The response was comparable to when a woman gets a boob job. The attention I received from women increased not to mention people told me I looked younger. In business, people took me a little bit more serious. When I wore my suits, my appearance looked cleaner and more professional. I felt well-groomed.

Now I rock my hair in a low-cut Caesar. Getting it cut and shaped-up once or twice a week, I brush it, moisturize it with Soft Sheen-Carson's Sportin' Style by Sportin' Waves and go. Sometimes I put on a stocking cap at night to train my waves but all and all I don't do half of what I used to do.
