“When my brother passed in 2006, I felt the urge to cut my hair…new beginnings I guess.  I remember seeing @halleberry rocking THAT pixie and going “THAT’S IT!”.  I’ve never looked back.I can’t believe this image is 10yrs old @kevinmarkpass . Also … @geeow77 is the best to ever do it!  PS. Many have asked…this is my own hair … NOT razor cut.  Throwback #MyHairJourney #HAIRstoration”
