Tamera Mowry-Housley took to twitter and instagram this week to share her big chop while she was at the salon! If you recall, just a few months back Tia did the same thing.
Honestly it took a little getting used to when I first saw Tia, but after a year of seeing her looking fabulous with short hair, Tamera doing the same thing was a little easier to fathom. Here is what she had to say after her stylist affectionately known as ‘the curl doctor” was done taking the length off:
Love my big chop…love my curl doctor @shaiamiel You did it again –
Tamera did not share her motivation for chopping again, at least not yet, but her curls look great as if the hair cut kinda gave them life. I’m sure you will agree that they look fuller now. Of course Tamera’s praise led to us doing a little research on her stylist.
Turns out Shai Amiel is the’ go to’ curly hair expert who is known for the Devachun cut that he learned from Lorraine Massey and he’s the one who shared the picture above of Tamera’s BC on his own instagram.
Stalking his instagram for a minute will show you that they know curls! He shows off lots of before and after pictures of everything from loose waves to kinky* curls that have been styled and hydrated without silicones for perfect results every time.
Amiel owns Capella salon in California which specializes in all things hair and skin, so if you like Tamera’s cut and you are every in L.A at least you know a stylist to consider. *wink*
Tamera shared this picture of her hair post big chop on her instagram:

Kim Swain says
She has the face for it
Michelle Strong says
I love This Cut On Her buuuut Why are they referring to her hair cut as a big chop? A BIG chop is a lot different than this #JustSayin’
BlackHairInformation.com says
She refered to it as a big chop, who am I to argue? lol
Michelle Strong says
Gotcha lol 😉
Tion Walker says
A big chop is when you cut half or more of your hair length.
Tion Walker says
Craziness. Her hair has been longer than that and she calling her hair cut that? Lmao
Bianca Ingram says
I thought a big chop was when you cut the UNNATURAL parts from your hair…….
Michelle Strong says
I can see how it can be referred to as a big chop
Miz Chin says
Omg love it.. Am so ready to do the big chop…
Kerry Thomas says
it dont even look like she cut off much i saw the pic with her hair on the floor and it does not look like a lot to me she only did this because her stylish try a new tool on her hair don’t remember wat kind but it cause a lot of heat damage
Dee N Dee says
it is big according to the one getting her hair cut..what you want her to be bald headed and every last hair on the floor !!! lol people these days as you can see the before and after picture there is a substantial amount cut off
Jasmine Cook says
It’s beautiful
Danielle Nicole Jacko says
Cute! 😀
Satarra Thrower-Jones says
It’s not a big chop. Not that dramatic only abt 4 inches. But it’s cute.
Sydney Shea Jacobs says
She chopped off her damaged hair after growing it out. And if she says she big chopped her hair, who are we to say otherwise?
Phrederica Holloway-Jordan says
She looked better before, but if she likes it then that is all that matters.
Adriane Washington says
I always were a Fan of the Ladies…….Beautiful as Always….
Shen Bennett says
Cute!
Satarra Thrower-Jones says
Andreah they have tight coiled curls. Nothing kinky abt it.
Tion Walker says
Well, compared to white people, her hair is still classified as kinky.
Gisèle Alençn says
To me this doesn’t look like a BIG chop.
Amanda Bradley says
How yall kno she didn’t transition??
Miriam Correa says
This is considered a big chop for people that aren’t used to short hair.
Nikisha Parham says
It looks healthier now !
Aja Terry says
You look good girl!
Mesha Surratt says
Not to crazy about the final outcome!
Harley Quinn says
i think shes classifying it as a big chop because she cut all the heat damage off *shrug*
Angela Forehand says
Love it! I remember her hair being a lot more curlier when she was younger.
BlackHairInformation.com says
I think the have always been 3a/3b…
Zoe Sumner says
How do you determine your curl pattern?
Sabrina St Juste says
she was alot more culier @Angela Forehand I’d say she had a curl pattern like Mahoganycurls. Remeber the show Sister Sister ? Tia and Tamera kept their hair natural but as they got older they styled it straight…. and I guess the heat damage messed up her pattern
Denice Christian says
i like it a lot better!
Eryka Gordon says
A big chop isn’t always to the scalp….people do big chops at different lengths….but maybe she referred to it as a big chop because for her its a drastic haircut…sheesh
Tion Walker says
No but a big chop is when you cut half or more off your length. At least that’s what I thought…
Tami Parker says
All that matter is you like it and your husband like it
Donetra Cain says
Needs more volume
Terissa Gardner says
When did this happen?. Shes a pretty girl so she can pull it off. They been playin in there hair alot lately

Chandra Montague Coe says

Dawn Gray says
Everyone has different big chops and she has been natural a while so this is definitely her big chop and I love it. It takes me back to her Sister Sister days.
Sheree Boclear says
Cute to me! She said she was transitioning out of the heat damage and she did it. Nice curls. Everybody’s natural is different and the definition of big chop to one person may be different than another persons as well. It’s all good either way because she has healthier hair now 🙂
Shanese MzNichole Hunter says
Love it
Sakina Pecchillo says
Anyone considered this may be a “big chop” to her? To some people cutting off any amount of hair is a big deal. I know I get nervous when I get my hair trimmed. That’s why I opted to grow out my relaxer.
Mimi Thomas says
Is she crying or did she drink some wine before the BC? Haha!
Felisha Thomas says

Dianna Harris says
She’s trying to go natural nothing wrong with that in a couple of months it’s going to look nice.
Satarra Thrower-Jones says
Tion walker no it’s not. It’s classified as a 3a-3b curly type. No kinks involved white ppls hair is a whole different thing. She has biracial hair her hair is not nappy in the least.
Tion Walker says
And so biracial people can’t have nappy hair? Ive seen plenty but I get what you mean.Just because she has 3a 3b hair doesn’t mean it doesnt tangle and knot up.
Satarra Thrower-Jones says
Crissy that’s usually what ppl do wear weave until it grows back to what they are comfortable with. However that’s her hair not weave so what are u talking abt??
Kristin Patrick says
It’s really cute. These girls have always had pretty hair no matter what they do with it.

Hannah Bennett says
Hate the. Beyonce look
Tion Walker says
Beyonc’e look??? Ain’t nothing Beyonc’e about her hair!
Kim Harris-Dove says
They used to have a much tighter curl pattern if I remember correctly. Anyway, it’s cute to me!
Kim Portis says
Looks nice on her
Michelle La'Shay says
She pretty!!!!!
Michelle La'Shay says
She can rock anything!!!!!
Satarra Thrower-Jones says
Of course it can tangle and knot but there’s a difference between knot and nappy. Lol. No there’s plenty of biracial ppl who have nappy hair. They just aren’t one of them☺
Tion Walker says
I get that but its still kinky but curly to a lot of people. She had tighter curls when she was younger but I dont know what happened.
Tiara Eyes says
How much for a perm n dye my hair dark red
Jewelz Jew-Jew Saunders Cda says
What did she chop off, heat damage?
Nicole White says
A big chop is when someone cuts off all the damage, perm or color to begin growing it naturally.
I cant believe the haters on here.

Ca'metra Willis says
From where she was before to where she is now is a chop. But recently on her FB page she stated that a chop wasn’t necessary to just get a cut……So what’s the difference between cut and chop, is the question????

its cute. she cute. great curls undone and styled as the pics show. if she stay off the heat it will grow back super quick….
Robin Veronica says
It’s cute but what was the point? Her hair looks the same just lil shorter. Did she even have a relaxer? I thought the “big chop” thing was about cutting off your relaxed hair.
Derica Minter says
Beautiful hair!! Not necessarily a big chop, more a cut but still beautiful (To me a big chop is cutting everything but not saying she didn’t grow out her relaxer and just cut it off at this stage. Who cares what u call it, it looks good).
Treshina Redmond says
Dnt like it and why she look super skinny
Camille Cherie says
If she likes it I love it

You don’t have to have a relaxer to big chop. I did a big chop because of color and I felt my hair seemed dry becoz of it. Also some ppl flat iron their hair alot and need to big chop if they want their curls back to their original bounce.
