My hair has been permed and relaxed since I was like 7 so I don’t even know what my natural hair looks like. But now that I’m 16 I really want to go natural.
@@mirabelmadukwe6881 same for me as well. I'm about 12 weeks post relaxer, and I think I've made my mind up to not even bother relaxing it again. I'm past tired of it.🤷🏾♀️
Transitioning takes so long... and you do one thing wrong your hair breaks off and you don’t retain length. Big chopping takes way faster and you keep your length because you have healthier ends
This Rona virus made me unable to go to the salon so I've decided to transition since I'm almost 5 months post-relaxer anyway :) I'm definitely planning on a long-term transition cus my headshape ain't meant for short hair lol
In the same boat lol. I do have relaxed hair and my last relaxer was 5 months ago. I’ve been letting my hair grow out as I continue to do protective styles. Another thing that has helped me is following and subscribing to different accounts who have MY hair type/texture. I always said natural hair was too much for me to handle and my relaxed hair made things easier but listening to others tell their stories and give their tips inspired me to have self love for my curly hair and made me start this journey in the first place.
@@brimou1092 Agreed! I don't think I'll know my actual hair texture until it grows out more and I start cutting, but subscribing to different natural channels has been really inspirational.
I haven't had a relaxer in my hair for a year, but I use a blow dryer and flat iron on wash days. I want to go natural, but it is so time consuming and I am really impatient. I always use deep conditioner, when I wash my hair. I want to do the big chop, but my edges aren't great, do to when I was getting my hair braided all the time YEARS ago and they still haven't grown back. It's depressing!
Same! I was initially only gonna grow my hair out for 6 months and then decide if I wanted to keep relaxing, but then good sis Covid came and now I’m 11 months post 🥴
I’m 18 months into my transition. I’ve worn a twist out the entire time. Slowly cutting off relaxed ends so won’t be doing a big chop. Your hair is getting prettier each time I see you on TH-cam and IG! When I’m fully natural I’m going to find a salon to color my hair like yours. Can’t wait.
Amazing, you’re so close!! And thank you so much! 💕 If you need any salon recommendations when the time comes feel free to message me and I can try to share someone good in your area! ❤️
Cais Arhin What hair styles have you tried that gives the least amount of tension on the hair. I’m 3 months post now and I’ve been doing the protective styles but want to give my hair a breather as well.
I’m 15 in I’m currently 8 months post relaxer, I made the decision at 14 it was really hard to convince my mom because but it was the best the decision
@@hannah-q3w5k I WAS LIKE THAT TOO, I did a big chop in June and now my hair reaches my neck. It’s been a long journey but totally worth...DONT GIVE UPPP AND EMBRACE YOUR NATURAL HAIRRR😋💖💖💖
I finally stopped using my straightener yesterday. I’ve been straightening and relaxing my hair since I was 11. So I’ve basicly got 17 years of damage and a loooong journey to go. The last keratin treatment I’ve had was a year ago and i’m just exhausted from it all. I want to go natural and you’ve inspired me. I really don’t know a thing about curly hair and your video has been really helpful.
My mom and i are going natural together she big chopped but im transitioning and i haven't seen my natural hair since i was 8 so i forgot how thick my hair was and at this point i look like a half wet lion😭
Cream Of Nature products are your go-to for No Sulfates and silicones . I’m transitioning I literally just started and this video is so educational!! Thank you. And also EVERYONE please remember that GENETICS play a big role in hair growth .. another reason why I didn’t start my hair journey is because I thought people at my school would judge me . But I had come to realization and told myself that *I* come First and their opinions don’t matter . I’m so excited for my hair to start getting back healthy.
Yay, you’ve got this! Keep an eye on the ingredients for Creme of Nature products bc some of them from their original collection do use silicones and mineral oils. Their new line looks very cleaned up though, I’ve heard good things!
i’m almost 16 and have had locs for about 10 years. during this quarantine i’ve been thinking about taking them out and having my natural hair. this has helped so much🤍
I’m 10/11 months into my transition and have watched probably every natural hair transitioning tips on TH-cam. This is definitely the most comprehensive (and well-spoken) list of great advice I’ve seen. Great job! I can’t big chop either I think it would get me a divorce real quick haha. (He’s supportive of this transition but he’s definitely a bit scared and definitely isn’t on board with my chopping off all my hair haha)
😂😂😂 he can rest assured there’s always braids and wigs if things get dicey but I feel your comment so much lol! Not our journey! Thank you and so glad it could be helpful!! Congratulations on 10/11 months! It was about month 14 when I started feeling ready to cut off all my heat damage but it’s a personal preference. Every time you have the courage to take off more and more, you’ll fall in love with your hair’s progress! 👏🏽👏🏽
I've been thinking about transitioning for a long time. I haven't had a relaxer since December and there's no turning back at this point because of the Rona. Good luck everyone!
I have had relaxed hair since 10 or 11. So knowing what my natural curls look like is completely foreign to me. But I think it is time to try this new jump and journey. 🙏🏾
I've been natural for 4 months and the changes are amazing, I'm more comfortable and confident with my curls. People notice it and compliment me constantly so I've been styling my hair in a half ponytail and gurrrllll my curls look shocking
I literally made the decision to transition to natural about 2 weeks ago when I was sitting in the salon chair for a relaxer after 8 weeks. I know the journey will be long and I’m thankful that I came across your video. Thank you, it was very informative.
Twist outs are another quick and beginner friendly hairstyle to go to. Just did one last night and it came out very cute. Make sure to coil the ends with your finger so it’ll have that curly illusion when you take it out the next day 😎
girl literally me i regret it so much because my hair has just recently got healthy and well kept but i made the impulsive decision of relaxing🙄 worst decision evvverrrr!
My 13 year old granddaughter just relaxed her hair & is now freaking out about getting it back to natural & how long it will take. I don't know what to tell her. It's long & she doesn't want to cut it. Help
Hello and very informative video! I'm 58 and beginning my journey to natural hair TODAY! Today I will throw out all of the shampoo's and conditioners that I have, in addition to returning a very expensive curling iron that I recently purchased at Sally's. Whew! I'm not going to lie, PATIENCE IS NOT A TRAIT that I have acquired, when it comes to my hair. I've tried transitioning before, however, the part that really frustrated me was when the chemicals started growing out, I just didn't know what to do with my hair. Since watching your video, I now know what products I need and will be purchasing them today! PRAY FOR ME! I truly am tired of the chemicals that I've put in my hair, as I have been applying them for 40 years! I truly can't wait to see the definition of my true curls, even though it will take a year or more. Thank you!😃
My mom has relaxed my natural curls since 4(we didn't have the money to up keep my crazy curls). Going to big chop this Thursday to start new! Im happy my mom supports me on this big decision, is even getting excited on the cute hairstyle💕💕 The Journey to my Hispanic Curls! So Ready!!
I just big chopped and I'm so happy! I am so much closer to getting my full length of curls after years of relaxers and heat since I was 10. My mom still doesn't approve but I really don't care because I love my curls!
thank you so much for this 3 step series!! i just found out i got heat damage the other day from a silk press and I've literally been crying almost every day since then 😭
Lovely video. My last relaxer was in April 2018. I've straighten my hair till April 2019. So… 3 months ago i decided to stop with everything and just take care of my hair and appreciate my hair. My hair grows back so fast now. I want my curly 3c hair fully back!! :)
I got a perm 2 times and my hair was literally falling off and that’s when I knew that I don’t want perms anymore. I want my curly hair back. My curly hair is growing now and it’s 3 inches off my head. I’m not going to get discouraged because I have youtubers like you to guide me in the right way. Thank you for showing this video really helpful❤️❤️
I have had a relaxer since high school. My hair texture was pretty good before and i currently have decided to transition..... this video is a life saver. I have looked a numerous videos of how to do this style and wash your hair this way, but my main concern was where do you start how do you choose products when you don’t know what to buy or not to buy. My last relaxer was on feb 27. Corona is what jumpstarted it. I have been the classic salon girl. Never did my own hair, just went to the salon every two weeks and let someone else do it. So this is really a big step for me. Thank you for the how to 101. Can’t wait to watch the next two videos.
Thanks for making this video. It is very helpful. I just started my natural hair journey a week ago. I'm Puerto Rican and had really long natural curly hair in high school. I wasn't happy with the way I looked so bleached and straightened my hair for years. It is true what you said about it is a spiritual journey as well. I have been trying to feel more comfortable and confident with myself and the hair God gave me. Seeing all these youtube videos shows me how beautiful it is to have curly hair. Thank you.
you are such a life saver, i completely ruined my curls by constantly straight my hair and bleaching it twice this past year. my curls were ruined and my ends are now straight. i’ve never experienced this before but i’m trusting the process and all of your videos are giving me hope. officially 6 months heat free and still transitioning.
Yay! So happy it could help and congratulations on making it to month 2! You’ve got this! I have a handful of transitioning videos to help beginners so make sure to check them out and lmk if you have any questions 😊 th-cam.com/video/by2bhLAnEOc/w-d-xo.html
Sitting here watching this and reading the comments during Quranatine, I'm relaxed but currently have a full sew in...which I coincidentally got before the lockdown. I've thought about transitioning a few times, but I am soooo damn tenderhearted. I've been getting a relaxer since I was about 10 years old and am 39 years old now. I think I'm nervously going to attempt it this year.
i love this video. you did not complicate things with big terms like others do and you made it super easy. even the products you recommended are easy to find. Thank you! my hair is super damaged from relaxers and heat and its very short but like you said, its a spiritual journey for me and im excited. I have always done weaves and braids so my only wory is how to own my hair especially in its damaged stage.
Thank you for adding the spiritual perspective at the end. That ministered to me because this transition process has truly been difficult. Now, I'm looking at it with a deeper meaning.😊🙏🏾
When I was younger my hair was straight but I didn’t take care of it and it got really knotted. I ended up having to shave my whole head and my hair started to grow back curly for some reason. I have a different father from my sisters so I was the only one with curly hair. I took care of my hair as I did when it was straight so I didn’t pay attention to the heat/bleach damage I did. My curls were never defined and my hair would be straight in some parts and curly in others. I thought I was the only one but I’ve been doing a lot of research and I found that I need to transition to natural hair to get the curls that I wanted. I did finger coiling for the first time and I saw a huge difference in the curls at the front of my head. But at the back the roots and top half of my hair is frizzy and won’t curl but the end will. It’s been hard because I’m 13 and my sister makes fun of my hair a lot while I’m transitioning so I became really self conscious, but now I know that what I’m going through is normal and I’m so happy that I have videos like this to help me in my curly girl journey.
My last relaxer was in September 2019 and as of April I'm at 2 inches of natural hair. When I first started I thought I would never see results but after 7 months I'm happy with it and can't wait to have hair as healthy as yours!! 😍🙌
I’m 30yo and I haven’t had natural hair since I was about 10/11yo. Me not being bothered to RE-LEARN my hair is what has put me off doing this, but with my hair already being due in April, quarantine really gave me the push to relax (had no choice) and give it a go! Let do this!! (8months Post-Relaxer)
I had to shave my hair off because the damage of the perm was so bad that it literally didn’t make my hair grow. I am glad that I went natural cause my hair doesn’t look a dusty brown (btw my natural hair color is black) I’m still working in growing out my broken out hair and getting my edges thicker.
Thank you for this video. My last relaxer was in February. I'm definitely on board. I'm very patient and will work to enjoy the journey. Thanks again for keeping things plain and simple! I subscribed!😊
I don't have transitioning hair but you gave really good info and I enjoyed it, plus I love that you called it a spiritual journey also! Had to subscribe lol
Thank you so much for this video. I am goin on my natural hair journey and learning so much about my hair after 8 years of straightening, relaxing, keratin treatments, & no protection on my curls. This video really hit every point I needed to know. Thank you soooo much
You’ve got this! Once the decision is made it makes all the difference! I tried once before I finally committed and it was one of the best choices I’ve made, even through the hard times!
I definitely needed this video! I had bra strap length natural hair before, but I cut it off after dying it and heat damaging it and I’ve been rocking the bald look for almost a year now by keeping up with my barber. But recently I’ve dyed my hair back to my natural hair color and now I’m ready to be 100% natural again. Thanks so much Amina! 🥰
Bri Laloca awww, thank you! and girl, i thought the same thing but it made me embrace my face more. it’s not about your head shape really, it’s more about your face. you’d look gorgeous.
Have gotten press & curl for years. Just recently decided to transition to natural. Thank you, this really was a lot of good information. SO comprehensive. Thanks again!
Beautiful. Looks great. Maybe the butter side. Both sides look fabulous 😀 since not having a relaxer anymore. My hair drys up after a couple days trying the twist. Not good at doing hair and I have hair that tangles easily and I'm tender headed, so it's a pain. I prefer the relaxed look, but also like the natural styles. I get tired of braids ( my own hair) my relax was never damaged, and the comb goes through much easier. I've been natural since 2017 and if I do my own hair not a good look long. 😄 I have medium length. I don't like the tangled and I use detangling products and brush and comb. I have a bad shoulder that I will need surgery, so it doesn't make twisting easy all the way around. I'm seriously thinking about relaxing or press and style for better management. Your knowledge makes me to hold out longer for relaxing. I appreciate the lessons on upkeep and how to keep it moisturized. Thanks
I'm on my transition since January, so it has been 10 months. It's going well but my hair grows sooo slowly. I'm planning on having my big chop next year. Loving my new growing curls☺...
I’ve never gone natural in my life, my moms my hairstylist so she’s been controlling all my hair decisions since I was born. I had relaxed hair until I was like 13 since my mom started to realize what the treatment was doing to my hair but even after that I did my hair every 1-2 weeks keeping it in it’s straight form as best as I could until now because Im pretty sure it’s killing my hair so let’s see how the rest of this year looks during this process for my hair. Thank you for being so informational 😍
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️ And congrats on making it through! I’m still trying to figure out how to make braid outs work for me 😂 but twist outs were my transitioning go to!
This video is so helpful. I’ve been texlaxing forEVER and I decided to go natural in November. I JUST started noticing my new growth as like an actually part of my hair and I’m so excited.
Just decided to start transitioning about two weeks ago and I swear I am so nervous!! I’m already unsure of what styles to wear to work. Currently hate the state of my hair but I’m going to bite the bullet and just try not to let it stress me out lol. Found your channel and loving it so much already. Thank you!! It’s nice knowing that I’m not alone with all my worries. 💛💛💛
I am working on my transitioning stage right now. I watched your part one video and looked and found your second and third video. During the first video you mentioned that your shampoos don't need to have sulfates and that other thing ( i forgot the name) in your shampoos and conditions , then i went looked at my hair products and it had those ingredients , so then i started to look up good shampoos and conditioners and i made a list of the one i would like to buy to help my hair . And plus im saving up my money so i can be able to do the things i want to do with my hair i will update my process of my hair. So thanks for the tips and advice to help me with my transitioning stage
Thanks to Corona, and a loooong thought process, I've decided to go natural. I've relaxed my hair for over 30 years, so the normal habits are a little hard to drop. I'm excited and nervous about the change 😨😀
The responses I've received since I did the big chop have been great! This is sooooo much easier to me (after throwing the temper tantrum and just being open to change) 😄. I wish I had done this sooner. Once I go back to work I'll have a better understanding of how much time this will save.
Thanks for breaking everything down and providing multiple products that may work on my particular hair type! This has really been a struggle. Patients is key
Thank you so much for this video! I literally held scissors to my permed ends yesterday, deciding if I should cut 60% of my hair off and be left with short natural hair that I don’t feel comfortable with yet. I wasn’t sure how to style it after it’s cut and I know I’m not good with patience when it comes to my hair (considering why I permed it in the first place). I feel better about transitioning back after these tips! Thanks again! 🙌🏾
Hi Amina. I'm just starting my transitioning journey. Your videos are very helpful specially at this first stage of my transitioning. I appreciate you. Thank you
I just decided to go natural 🥳 I think 😬 Had my first relaxer for prom and have been chemically abusing it ever since. I just love seeing bouncy healthy curls and remember when I used to get teased for mine in school lol, I think I’m ready to have them back... only thing is I work as a model and I’m scared of the in betweenery but worst case scenario- we’ll always have wigs right?! 🤷🏽♀️😭💃🏽
Also my sister suggested to finger detangle before wetting. I tried that and then did a full prepoo & detangle. Washed and deep cond the Next day. Still a challenge but no tears and much much less shedding. I’m six months into a transition from perm on 4b/c (I think) hair. I now also detangle midweek as the trauma was too much.
Recently decided to go natural. Lst relaxer was in MAY. 3 months in , at 6 months im goin to see the length of the back & determine if i wanna chop or not but will def trim my ends every month & have my stylist trim them once a month & do protective styling
Thank you for all the tips and I want to especially thank you for the encouraging words at the last part of your video. I really, really, really hope I don't give up within these next 3 months. I'm glad I'm starting while the weather isn't stifling hot (I live in the southern part of USA). I feel like if I can make it to June, then I have a fighting chance of making it through the summer heat. I'll be watching the rest of the videos in your series. But I have family members who are 5 to 7 years into their natural hair, so I'll have a lot of support.
I’m almost 6 months post relaxer now and nobody told me having 2 different textures in my hair would be this hard, it’s so easily tangled and hard to detangle and it makes me not want to touch my hair 😭
Yes!!! My last relaxer was August of 2019 and I’ve been washing and putting my hair in box braids since. But WITHOUT those braids, dealing with those 2 different textures are a DIFFERENT ball game that I’m NOT mentally prepared for 😩😩
I was shook with the tangles. 😭 but now finger detangle while dry and before prepoo. Then during conditioning. Post with leave in and then braid. Clip-ins are a quick add on but I don’t sleep on them for fear of breakage. Trim ends too.
@@bluberrybabe1013 Yeah I wash mine and then put it in either braids or bantu knots. I don't know what this whole hair type thing is so I have no idea what mine is, or should I even care
Quarantine has given me the courage to try again to go natural. Thank you for your tutorial. I gave up before & I went back to a relaxer but this time I plan to follow through. This my 3rd month no chemicals.
I heard that most natural hair gurus get the big chop/ or starting their natural hair journey in 2010-2011,and i have been a natural most of the time, i only straighten my hair once every year or 2, by the time i went to secondary school(middle school) , natural hair is a trend🤗🌌
I did too in september after a YEAR .i had a problem with detangling & im tender in my scalp .nobody told me that They had special brushes for that 😆but happy hair growing to u no matter what look u going 4💙
I relaxed after 2 1/2 years. I won’t relax again but I will be using heat. Man natural hair is no joke. And we see these naturals with beautiful hair but most ppl wont have that experience especially when u have several textures like I do. And my hair stayed dry bc it refused to absorb products. Yea it was a rough 2 years. But I still prefer hair that is not relaxed tho. My hair was healthy and grew like crazy!!
I am 21 months into transitioning & your videos have been my favorite for the transitioning process. Flexirods have become my favorite style. A little harder to do now that I have more natural hair & the detangling process is out of this world! I rarely use heat but I went to the shop recently & my hair was almost to my butt. After a trim it is still down my back. With relaxers my hair could never get passed bra strap length. I have very thick hair even with a relaxer so now my hair is a beast! I love it even though it is a lot of work. Can’t wait to be fully natural & to try a wash & go! 🥰 Just wish I would’ve started this process sooner!
🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 That is amazing!!! Congratulations on the progress and you are almost there whenever you’re ready!! When I finally cut off the rest of my heat damage it was one of those moments I realized I probably could’ve done it sooner too! 😅 But in good time you’ll be there before you know it! ❤️❤️❤️
I have decided yesterday to transition to natural. My last touch up was January 2020, so I am at the beginning. I am excited but nervous. Right now my hair is still straight so I don't think I can give up the flat irons yet. But I will look into rollers and try those.
Yay, so excited to hear it! You’ve gotta give up the flat iron soon to officially begin your journey, but I understand rocking that press you paid for for another month or two before you start! Bantu knots and rollers can give beautiful results to relaxed hair without heat so I def recommend starting there. Lmk if you have any questions ❤️❤️
This quarantine gave me the guts to finally transition back to curly
Me too. And I have Dreadlocks for 12 years. Lol.
same, i had my big chop last week
right lmao, take advantage of being in the house while we can hide our hair during transitioning.
Same! Been relaxed since I was 10.
me too, i have been heat free for 2 months +
When I became natural I gave my flat iron to that cousin that don't like to give stuff back 😂😂 I'm 5 yrs natural and still haven't seen a flat iron 😂 best cousin ever 😂 #heatfree

DO IT!!!!!
Omg same, my parents have been doing this aas young as I can remember but now Im tired or relaxing my hair
@@mirabelmadukwe6881 same for me as well. I'm about 12 weeks post relaxer, and I think I've made my mind up to not even bother relaxing it again. I'm past tired of it.🤷🏾♀️
OH MY GOD SAMEEE
THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE ME!!!! I can slightly tell the texture as my roots are growing back, no more relaxed for me
I am not a big chop typa girl😂😂Yeaaas I wanna retain length
monica chaika samr!!
Yeah me too!
I felt this🙆🏾♀️😂
Me too
Transitioning takes so long... and you do one thing wrong your hair breaks off and you don’t retain length. Big chopping takes way faster and you keep your length because you have healthier ends
This Rona virus made me unable to go to the salon so I've decided to transition since I'm almost 5 months post-relaxer anyway :) I'm definitely planning on a long-term transition cus my headshape ain't meant for short hair lol
Tori you and I both girl you and I both I literally cannot do that big chop

I’m 18 months into my transition. I’ve worn a twist out the entire time. Slowly cutting off relaxed ends so won’t be doing a big chop. Your hair is getting prettier each time I see you on TH-cam and IG! When I’m fully natural I’m going to find a salon to color my hair like yours. Can’t wait.

4 months post now almost 5❤️
Cais Arhin What hair styles have you tried that gives the least amount of tension on the hair. I’m 3 months post now and I’ve been doing the protective styles but want to give my hair a breather as well.
I’m 15 in I’m currently 8 months post relaxer, I made the decision at 14 it was really hard to convince my mom because but it was the best the decision
JOYYY
I'm 14 and today's officially my first day😭I'm terrified-
@@hannah-q3w5k I WAS LIKE THAT TOO, I did a big chop in June and now my hair reaches my neck. It’s been a long journey but totally worth...DONT GIVE UPPP AND EMBRACE YOUR NATURAL HAIRRR😋💖💖💖
@@DK-nv3fz How long was you hair at 5 months?
I finally stopped using my straightener yesterday. I’ve been straightening and relaxing my hair since I was 11. So I’ve basicly got 17 years of damage and a loooong journey to go. The last keratin treatment I’ve had was a year ago and i’m just exhausted from it all. I want to go natural and you’ve inspired me. I really don’t know a thing about curly hair and your video has been really helpful.
My mom and i are going natural together she big chopped but im transitioning and i haven't seen my natural hair since i was 8 so i forgot how thick my hair was and at this point i look like a half wet lion😭
I haven't seen my natural hair since i was 5 years old😞😭
Edit: I haven't got a relaxer since may 2019 :) and im not getting nomore. And i think my hair is heat damage :(
Bbc
Sista I feel you. I'm the same way but this video has helped.
Vxlid Queen same! I'm going back.. My hair is literally curly straight now lol
Cream Of Nature products are your go-to for No Sulfates and silicones . I’m transitioning I literally just started and this video is so educational!! Thank you. And also EVERYONE please remember that GENETICS play a big role in hair growth .. another reason why I didn’t start my hair journey is because I thought people at my school would judge me . But I had come to realization and told myself that *I* come First and their opinions don’t matter . I’m so excited for my hair to start getting back healthy.
Yay, you’ve got this! Keep an eye on the ingredients for Creme of Nature products bc some of them from their original collection do use silicones and mineral oils. Their new line looks very cleaned up though, I’ve heard good things!
Are creme of nature good for after you have cut all the relaxed hair out
i’m almost 16 and have had locs for about 10 years. during this quarantine i’ve been thinking about taking them out and having my natural hair. this has helped so much🤍
I’m 10/11 months into my transition and have watched probably every natural hair transitioning tips on TH-cam. This is definitely the most comprehensive (and well-spoken) list of great advice I’ve seen. Great job! I can’t big chop either I think it would get me a divorce real quick haha. (He’s supportive of this transition but he’s definitely a bit scared and definitely isn’t on board with my chopping off all my hair haha)
😂😂😂 he can rest assured there’s always braids and wigs if things get dicey but I feel your comment so much lol! Not our journey!
Thank you and so glad it could be helpful!! Congratulations on 10/11 months! It was about month 14 when I started feeling ready to cut off all my heat damage but it’s a personal preference. Every time you have the courage to take off more and more, you’ll fall in love with your hair’s progress! 👏🏽👏🏽
I've been thinking about transitioning for a long time. I haven't had a relaxer since December and there's no turning back at this point because of the Rona. Good luck everyone!
In the exact same position! I had my last relaxer in December and thought when's a better time than quarantine?
I have had relaxed hair since 10 or 11. So knowing what my natural curls look like is completely foreign to me. But I think it is time to try this new jump and journey. 🙏🏾
I've been natural for 4 months and the changes are amazing, I'm more comfortable and confident with my curls. People notice it and compliment me constantly so I've been styling my hair in a half ponytail and gurrrllll my curls look shocking
YES girl!!! Doesn't it feel great? Half up half down was my go to for the longest and it helps so much in the early stages! You got this! 😍❤️
@@AminaMarie 😚😚😚😚😚
This series is gonna be 🔥🔥🔥! I would love to see you talk more about taking care of your hair while it's in a protective style like braids 😍
❤️❤️❤️ Filmed and coming soon!!
Yesss same.
I literally made the decision to transition to natural about 2 weeks ago when I was sitting in the salon chair for a relaxer after 8 weeks. I know the journey will be long and I’m thankful that I came across your video. Thank you, it was very informative.
I transitioned from relaxer about 7 years ago. I’m just watching this now because you are beautiful!
Thank you so much love! xoxo
Twist outs are another quick and beginner friendly hairstyle to go to. Just did one last night and it came out very cute. Make sure to coil the ends with your finger so it’ll have that curly illusion when you take it out the next day 😎
LOVE twist outs, I recommend them in phase 2/3 when your natural hair is a bit more grown out to hold more of the curl!
I relaxed my hair after 7 years natural and I am sooooooooooo regretting it! I am now starting my transitioning journey
girl literally me i regret it so much because my hair has just recently got healthy and well kept but i made the impulsive decision of relaxing🙄 worst decision evvverrrr!
My 13 year old granddaughter just relaxed her hair & is now freaking out about getting it back to natural & how long it will take. I don't know what to tell her. It's long & she doesn't want to cut it. Help
Hello and very informative video! I'm 58 and beginning my journey to natural hair TODAY! Today I will throw out all of the shampoo's and conditioners that I have, in addition to returning a very expensive curling iron that I recently purchased at Sally's. Whew! I'm not going to lie, PATIENCE IS NOT A TRAIT that I have acquired, when it comes to my hair. I've tried transitioning before, however, the part that really frustrated me was when the chemicals started growing out, I just didn't know what to do with my hair. Since watching your video, I now know what products I need and will be purchasing them today! PRAY FOR ME! I truly am tired of the chemicals that I've put in my hair, as I have been applying them for 40 years! I truly can't wait to see the definition of my true curls, even though it will take a year or more. Thank you!😃
Been natural for a year but I'm still watching this.
🙌🏽😘😘 thanks for the love sis!
You’re gorgeous! 😍
My mom has relaxed my natural curls since 4(we didn't have the money to up keep my crazy curls). Going to big chop this Thursday to start new! Im happy my mom supports me on this big decision, is even getting excited on the cute hairstyle💕💕 The Journey to my Hispanic Curls! So Ready!!
I just big chopped and I'm so happy! I am so much closer to getting my full length of curls after years of relaxers and heat since I was 10. My mom still doesn't approve but I really don't care because I love my curls!
Amazing congratulations girl!!!! 😍😍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 And Mom will come around soon enough 😉
Amina Marie thank you so much sis! I really appreciate the natural hair community for getting me through this journey ❤️
thank you so much for this 3 step series!! i just found out i got heat damage the other day from a silk press and I've literally been crying almost every day since then 😭
Lovely video. My last relaxer was in April 2018. I've straighten my hair till April 2019. So… 3 months ago i decided to stop with everything and just take care of my hair and appreciate my hair. My hair grows back so fast now. I want my curly 3c hair fully back!! :)
It’s on the way! ❤️ Congratulations for pushing through and embracing your natural hair again!
You look amazing !
I am French and in Paris a lot of black women started to have natural hair !
I got a perm 2 times and my hair was literally falling off and that’s when I knew that I don’t want perms anymore. I want my curly hair back. My curly hair is growing now and it’s 3 inches off my head. I’m not going to get discouraged because I have youtubers like you to guide me in the right way. Thank you for showing this video really helpful❤️❤️
I’m definitely sure I’m going back to natural but I’m going to start once the new year begins!
One last blow out of 2019 and then it’s on! I support! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You’ve got this!
I have had a relaxer since high school. My hair texture was pretty good before and i currently have decided to transition..... this video is a life saver. I have looked a numerous videos of how to do this style and wash your hair this way, but my main concern was where do you start how do you choose products when you don’t know what to buy or not to buy. My last relaxer was on feb 27. Corona is what jumpstarted it. I have been the classic salon girl. Never did my own hair, just went to the salon every two weeks and let someone else do it. So this is really a big step for me. Thank you for the how to 101. Can’t wait to watch the next two videos.
I'm doing helpful transitioning hair videos on my channel. Do check it out and subscribe for more. I can do a video on this if you would like.
I wore Bantu knots for two months during quarantine and my hair grew three inches...thank the lord
Thanks for making this video. It is very helpful. I just started my natural hair journey a week ago. I'm Puerto Rican and had really long natural curly hair in high school. I wasn't happy with the way I looked so bleached and straightened my hair for years. It is true what you said about it is a spiritual journey as well. I have been trying to feel more comfortable and confident with myself and the hair God gave me. Seeing all these youtube videos shows me how beautiful it is to have curly hair. Thank you.
you are such a life saver, i completely ruined my curls by constantly straight my hair and bleaching it twice this past year. my curls were ruined and my ends are now straight. i’ve never experienced this before but i’m trusting the process and all of your videos are giving me hope. officially 6 months heat free and still transitioning.
Thank you for this video, I am 2 months post relaxer and I had no clue where to start. You definitely have a new subbie!
Yay! So happy it could help and congratulations on making it to month 2! You’ve got this! I have a handful of transitioning videos to help beginners so make sure to check them out and lmk if you have any questions 😊

Bro I’m telling mom to stop relaxing my hair
Girl my mom won’t listen 🤦🏽♀️😩
Same
I’m straightening my hair one last time for Christmas and after that I’m DONE fr fr 💀💀I’ve been relaxing my hair since I was very little.
you got thisss all of you!!
Kiki Tyler mine either 😭😭 but she did the big chop with her hair Nd it grew less than two months after. But I can’t transition without cutting it ?
Sitting here watching this and reading the comments during Quranatine, I'm relaxed but currently have a full sew in...which I coincidentally got before the lockdown. I've thought about transitioning a few times, but I am soooo damn tenderhearted. I've been getting a relaxer since I was about 10 years old and am 39 years old now. I think I'm nervously going to attempt it this year.
Amina YOU ARE WONDERFUL... Thanks for this video. I'm 8 months natural now. 💪💪💪❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️ Yes girl you’ve got this!!
i love this video. you did not complicate things with big terms like others do and you made it super easy. even the products you recommended are easy to find. Thank you! my hair is super damaged from relaxers and heat and its very short but like you said, its a spiritual journey for me and im excited. I have always done weaves and braids so my only wory is how to own my hair especially in its damaged stage.
Thank you Queen. I was so close to cutting off all of my hair. I just need deep breaths, patience, and all of your advice. 🙏🏽✨ Bless up.
This is so motivating.. my journey begins from today 😊
So happy to hear that! ❤️❤️ You’ve got this!!
Me too
Thank you for adding the spiritual perspective at the end. That ministered to me because this transition process has truly been difficult. Now, I'm looking at it with a deeper meaning.😊🙏🏾
When I was younger my hair was straight but I didn’t take care of it and it got really knotted. I ended up having to shave my whole head and my hair started to grow back curly for some reason. I have a different father from my sisters so I was the only one with curly hair. I took care of my hair as I did when it was straight so I didn’t pay attention to the heat/bleach damage I did. My curls were never defined and my hair would be straight in some parts and curly in others. I thought I was the only one but I’ve been doing a lot of research and I found that I need to transition to natural hair to get the curls that I wanted. I did finger coiling for the first time and I saw a huge difference in the curls at the front of my head. But at the back the roots and top half of my hair is frizzy and won’t curl but the end will. It’s been hard because I’m 13 and my sister makes fun of my hair a lot while I’m transitioning so I became really self conscious, but now I know that what I’m going through is normal and I’m so happy that I have videos like this to help me in my curly girl journey.
I was Just about to give up and perm my hair until I saw this video!!! Thanks..you gave me my second wind!!!
Yay!! Love to hear that, you’ve got this girl! ❤️❤️
Yess... every time I feel like giving up and get a perm I come to youtube. 🤣
My last relaxer was in September 2019 and as of April I'm at 2 inches of natural hair. When I first started I thought I would never see results but after 7 months I'm happy with it and can't wait to have hair as healthy as yours!! 😍🙌
My last was also in September. Itching to cut the straight ends! But I'm trying to reach the 1 year mark before I do.
I just started and am excited
Thank you so much for sharing these great hair tips on transitioning from relaxed to natural hair. I will definitely use these on my hair.
Happy to help! Make sure to join our Facebook Support Group for daily community and inspo! ❤️ facebook.com/groups/2810891245673216/
I’m 30yo and I haven’t had natural hair since I was about 10/11yo. Me not being bothered to RE-LEARN my hair is what has put me off doing this, but with my hair already being due in April, quarantine really gave me the push to relax (had no choice) and give it a go! Let do this!! (8months Post-Relaxer)
what happened?
I had to shave my hair off because the damage of the perm was so bad that it literally didn’t make my hair grow. I am glad that I went natural cause my hair doesn’t look a dusty brown (btw my natural hair color is black) I’m still working in growing out my broken out hair and getting my edges thicker.
Thank you for this video. My last relaxer was in February. I'm definitely on board. I'm very patient and will work to enjoy the journey. Thanks again for keeping things plain and simple! I subscribed!😊
I don't have transitioning hair but you gave really good info and I enjoyed it, plus I love that you called it a spiritual journey also! Had to subscribe lol
Thank you so much!! 💕🤗
Tomorrow I’m going to a local hair salon specialized in natural hair.. I’m scared and excited at the same time.
Yay! Good luck, I’m sure it will go great!! Nothing like being understood in the salon chair ❤️❤️
Thank god I needed this😫
Yay glad it could help!! ❤️
Amina Marie thanks for the video❤️
Omg I’m 8 minutes in and you explain things so much better I love it!
Been relaxed for about a year after being natural for 4 year. Missing my curls so I’m going back to natural. So excited!
Thank you so much for this video. I am goin on my natural hair journey and learning so much about my hair after 8 years of straightening, relaxing, keratin treatments, & no protection on my curls. This video really hit every point I needed to know. Thank you soooo much
This is my third time transitioning in the past 2 years. The first two times were unintentional but now I’m serious about transitioning
You’ve got this! Once the decision is made it makes all the difference! I tried once before I finally committed and it was one of the best choices I’ve made, even through the hard times!
I definitely needed this video! I had bra strap length natural hair before, but I cut it off after dying it and heat damaging it and I’ve been rocking the bald look for almost a year now by keeping up with my barber. But recently I’ve dyed my hair back to my natural hair color and now I’m ready to be 100% natural again. Thanks so much Amina! 🥰
Yay!! That’s amazing, congratulations!! I’ll be keeping an eye out for progress updates! 👀😍❤️
That hair is a LOOK on u tbh bruh id look like a potato if I even tried lol
😂 no you wouldn’t!! It does take a while to get used to seeing yourself with a new style but once you do 💁🏽♀️💁🏻♀️💁🏾♀️
@@AminaMarie lml I do think some headshapes look way more flattering than mine in really short hair but I do agree with u in a way lol thank you
Bri Laloca awww, thank you! and girl, i thought the same thing but it made me embrace my face more. it’s not about your head shape really, it’s more about your face. you’d look gorgeous.
Thanks I’m 8 months in without heat since March and my hair is healthy and long and so far I’m loving my type 3 thick hair
Have gotten press & curl for years. Just recently decided to transition to natural. Thank you, this really was a lot of good information. SO comprehensive. Thanks again!
Beautiful. Looks great. Maybe the butter side. Both sides look fabulous 😀 since not having a relaxer anymore. My hair drys up after a couple days trying the twist. Not good at doing hair and I have hair that tangles easily and I'm tender headed, so it's a pain. I prefer the relaxed look, but also like the natural styles. I get tired of braids ( my own hair) my relax was never damaged, and the comb goes through much easier. I've been natural since 2017 and if I do my own hair not a good look long. 😄 I have medium length. I don't like the tangled and I use detangling products and brush and comb. I have a bad shoulder that I will need surgery, so it doesn't make twisting easy all the way around. I'm seriously thinking about relaxing or press and style for better management. Your knowledge makes me to hold out longer for relaxing. I appreciate the lessons on upkeep and how to keep it moisturized. Thanks
I’m so tired of relaxers, so this video gave me the courage to go natural
hey can you subscribe to my channel please am a small subscriber ravishing lit please help me out 🙏
I just got a relaxer at the end of February this year 😭, I've been transitioning for like 5 months and only seen about 1 1/2 an inch of growth 😔
stiff Ponytail patience is key
I'm on my transition since January, so it has been 10 months. It's going well but my hair grows sooo slowly. I'm planning on having my big chop next year. Loving my new growing curls☺...
I’m starting the journey - I keep my relaxed hair curly so no problem with no heat. My roots are thick so moisture will be key.
I’ve never gone natural in my life, my moms my hairstylist so she’s been controlling all my hair decisions since I was born. I had relaxed hair until I was like 13 since my mom started to realize what the treatment was doing to my hair but even after that I did my hair every 1-2 weeks keeping it in it’s straight form as best as I could until now because Im pretty sure it’s killing my hair so let’s see how the rest of this year looks during this process for my hair. Thank you for being so informational 😍
Omg I am over 3 years in and girl what a great vid wish I had this back when I started!!!! Braid outs were my BEST FRIEND when I was transitioning
Thank you so much!! ❤️❤️ And congrats on making it through! I’m still trying to figure out how to make braid outs work for me 😂 but twist outs were my transitioning go to!
This video is so helpful. I’ve been texlaxing forEVER and I decided to go natural in November. I JUST started noticing my new growth as like an actually part of my hair and I’m so excited.
Yay!!! You’ve got this, keep going! 🙌🏽❤️
Just decided to start transitioning about two weeks ago and I swear I am so nervous!! I’m already unsure of what styles to wear to work. Currently hate the state of my hair but I’m going to bite the bullet and just try not to let it stress me out lol. Found your channel and loving it so much already. Thank you!! It’s nice knowing that I’m not alone with all my worries. 💛💛💛

I am working on my transitioning stage right now. I watched your part one video and looked and found your second and third video. During the first video you mentioned that your shampoos don't need to have sulfates and that other thing ( i forgot the name) in your shampoos and conditions , then i went looked at my hair products and it had those ingredients , so then i started to look up good shampoos and conditioners and i made a list of the one i would like to buy to help my hair . And plus im saving up my money so i can be able to do the things i want to do with my hair i will update my process of my hair. So thanks for the tips and advice to help me with my transitioning stage
Thanks to Corona, and a loooong thought process, I've decided to go natural. I've relaxed my hair for over 30 years, so the normal habits are a little hard to drop. I'm excited and nervous about the change 😨😀
Pray, pray and pray☺
The responses I've received since I did the big chop have been great! This is sooooo much easier to me (after throwing the temper tantrum and just being open to change) 😄. I wish I had done this sooner. Once I go back to work I'll have a better understanding of how much time this will save.
@@1sthotcocoa How is your hair doing?
I’ve always been natural but I love watching these videos
Thanks for breaking everything down and providing multiple products that may work on my particular hair type! This has really been a struggle. Patients is key
Thank you so much for this video! I literally held scissors to my permed ends yesterday, deciding if I should cut 60% of my hair off and be left with short natural hair that I don’t feel comfortable with yet. I wasn’t sure how to style it after it’s cut and I know I’m not good with patience when it comes to my hair (considering why I permed it in the first place). I feel better about transitioning back after these tips! Thanks again! 🙌🏾
It been a year since your comment did you do the big cop and how is things going with your natural hair
Hi Amina. I'm just starting my transitioning journey. Your videos are very helpful specially at this first stage of my transitioning. I appreciate you. Thank you
Excited for this series! I'm 10 months in and a little frustrated but hanging in there :)
You’ve got this!! More tips on the way! ❤️
Can I double like this video?
Like gosh.. you are a lifesaver!!!!
I just decided to go natural 🥳 I think 😬 Had my first relaxer for prom and have been chemically abusing it ever since. I just love seeing bouncy healthy curls and remember when I used to get teased for mine in school lol, I think I’m ready to have them back... only thing is I work as a model and I’m scared of the in betweenery but worst case scenario- we’ll always have wigs right?! 🤷🏽♀️😭💃🏽
Can you do a video on taking out a protective style bc when I detangling my hair idk what I do but my hair tangle all up after I wash it
Also my sister suggested to finger detangle before wetting. I tried that and then did a full prepoo & detangle. Washed and deep cond the Next day. Still a challenge but no tears and much much less shedding. I’m six months into a transition from perm on 4b/c (I think) hair. I now also detangle midweek as the trauma was too much.
for gels you can always mix a natural oil in it when you use it so it’s more safe for your hair
Recently decided to go natural. Lst relaxer was in MAY. 3 months in , at 6 months im goin to see the length of the back & determine if i wanna chop or not but will def trim my ends every month & have my stylist trim them once a month & do protective styling
This video is a God send and literally just gave me so much confidence
Thank you for all the tips and I want to especially thank you for the encouraging words at the last part of your video. I really, really, really hope I don't give up within these next 3 months. I'm glad I'm starting while the weather isn't stifling hot (I live in the southern part of USA). I feel like if I can make it to June, then I have a fighting chance of making it through the summer heat.
I'll be watching the rest of the videos in your series. But I have family members who are 5 to 7 years into their natural hair, so I'll have a lot of support.
I thought i just watched this on a hair channel. So professional and informative. I just did my big chop and I'm learning so much. Beautiful hair! ❤
Thank you so much!! Glad it could be helpful and congratulations on your big chop and new journey!! ❤️❤️
6:45 Our skin and scalp produce up to three times as much natural oils and sebum compared to other ethnic groups
I’m almost 6 months post relaxer now and nobody told me having 2 different textures in my hair would be this hard, it’s so easily tangled and hard to detangle and it makes me not want to touch my hair 😭
Yes!!! My last relaxer was August of 2019 and I’ve been washing and putting my hair in box braids since. But WITHOUT those braids, dealing with those 2 different textures are a DIFFERENT ball game that I’m NOT mentally prepared for 😩😩
I was shook with the tangles. 😭 but now finger detangle while dry and before prepoo. Then during conditioning. Post with leave in and then braid. Clip-ins are a quick add on but I don’t sleep on them for fear of breakage. Trim ends too.
@@bluberrybabe1013 Yeah I wash mine and then put it in either braids or bantu knots. I don't know what this whole hair type thing is so I have no idea what mine is, or should I even care
Quarantine has given me the courage to try again to go natural. Thank you for your tutorial. I gave up before & I went back to a relaxer but this time I plan to follow through. This my 3rd month no chemicals.

I heard that most natural hair gurus get the big chop/ or starting their natural hair journey in 2010-2011,and i have been a natural most of the time, i only straighten my hair once every year or 2, by the time i went to secondary school(middle school) , natural hair is a trend🤗🌌
Really natural hair is the best you feel your hair is healthy and beautiful 😍
Great video Amina! I'm passed this phase but it's always goo to hear these again. Can't wait to see the rest of the series!
Thank you so much!! 💕
I stopped using heat, stopped relaxing my hair until this month for Christmas. But after this I’m done for good cause my hair has grown a lot
I just relaxed my hair and I’m regretting it
I did too in september after a YEAR .i had a problem with detangling & im tender in my scalp .nobody told me that They had special brushes for that 😆but happy hair growing to u no matter what look u going 4💙
I relaxed after 2 1/2 years. I won’t relax again but I will be using heat. Man natural hair is no joke. And we see these naturals with beautiful hair but most ppl wont have that experience especially when u have several textures like I do. And my hair stayed dry bc it refused to absorb products. Yea it was a rough 2 years. But I still prefer hair that is not relaxed tho. My hair was healthy and grew like crazy!!
I got my hair relaxed in July and I just regretted it and I didn’t want It relaxed so now I’m in the middle of transitioning
Natural hair is so gorgeous 🌸🤩! But amazing video.
Thank you!! 💕💕
I am 21 months into transitioning & your videos have been my favorite for the transitioning process. Flexirods have become my favorite style. A little harder to do now that I have more natural hair & the detangling process is out of this world! I rarely use heat but I went to the shop recently & my hair was almost to my butt. After a trim it is still down my back. With relaxers my hair could never get passed bra strap length. I have very thick hair even with a relaxer so now my hair is a beast! I love it even though it is a lot of work. Can’t wait to be fully natural & to try a wash & go! 🥰 Just wish I would’ve started this process sooner!
🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 That is amazing!!! Congratulations on the progress and you are almost there whenever you’re ready!! When I finally cut off the rest of my heat damage it was one of those moments I realized I probably could’ve done it sooner too! 😅 But in good time you’ll be there before you know it! ❤️❤️❤️
I have decided yesterday to transition to natural. My last touch up was January 2020, so I am at the beginning. I am excited but nervous. Right now my hair is still straight so I don't think I can give up the flat irons yet. But I will look into rollers and try those.
Yay, so excited to hear it! You’ve gotta give up the flat iron soon to officially begin your journey, but I understand rocking that press you paid for for another month or two before you start! Bantu knots and rollers can give beautiful results to relaxed hair without heat so I def recommend starting there. Lmk if you have any questions ❤️❤️
@@AminaMarie thank you. I will keep you posted. I subscribed to your channel.
Love this. Thank you. My third attempt at going natural… wish me luck!
