I'm so excited to see this, but sorry that I didn't see it prior to Sunday when I cut my hair. I definitely would have participated. If you're thinking of cutting your natural hair or know someone who is, PLEASE READ!

The
Big Chop to Stop Cancer invites women to use their hair as a statement
that goes beyond personal aesthetics. We invite women to “big chop” to
take a stand for the health and well being of their mothers,
grandmothers, aunts, and sisters. We invite women to be fearless and big
chop. Each big chop promotes lifesaving cancer screening and early
detection.
All women, regardless of race, ethnicity, and hair type, are invited to participate in the Big Chop to Stop Cancer Campaign.
Our hope is to unite women for the greater good – saving black women’s lives from cancer.
Stylists, salons, and
individuals across the country are invited to participate in the Big
Chop to Stop Cancer with ZuriWorks, Johnny Wright, and other celebrity
stylists.
Find out how you can help women who face the challenging road ahead of cancer treatment and recovery with dignity and joy.
