How Many Times Can You Big Chop? Sis, You Might Be on Level 3…

Let’s talk about it. Because if you’ve ever stood in the mirror at 2:17 AM with scissors in one hand and your last nerve in the other, whispering, “I’m just gon’ cut a little,” then boom — welcome to the Big Chop Club (again). You ain’t alone.

Some of us have big chopped once. Some of us? Baby, we done chopped so many times, we got loyalty points.

But Why Does It Keep Happening?

Stress. Life. That one toxic ex. And not drinking enough water (yeah, I said it).

See, hair is like a plant. If you overwater it, ignore it, or let someone stomp through your garden with their emotional muddy boots, it’s gon’ wilt. And like plants, your hair might fall into one of these categories during your healing season:

1. Annual Plants

(aka “The Chop It All Off Again” Phase)

These plants grow, flourish, and then die back every year. That’s you every time life comes swinging — job stress, heartbreak, postpartum, or when you just need a reset. Annual energy means you chop and start over… often.

2. Perennial Plants

(aka “She’ll Bounce Back… Eventually”)

These babies go dormant but come back stronger. Like your hair when you finally put yourself first. You get rest. You oil your scalp. You say “no” without explaining. Your hair starts coming back like, “We good now?”

3. Evergreen Plants

(aka “Unbothered Queen Energy”)

These plants stay flourishing no matter what. Even in the winter. That’s the ultimate goal. Your scalp’s hydrated, your peace is prioritized, and your products are consistent. She’s thriving because you are.

The Real Root of It All

Big chopping is deeper than style — it’s spiritual. Many of us cut our hair not just because it’s damaged, but because we are. And in those moments, we’re shedding more than split ends. We’re releasing relationships, expectations, and pain.

So how many times can you big chop?

As many times as you need until you stop surviving and start growing.
