The Big Chop is a big deal because our hair is more than just an accessory, it says so much about us and we identify with it so closely. Deciding to cut the dead hair that no longer serves you is not just a physical act, but a spiritual moment, it signals that you are truly ready to let go of what is no longer serving you and move forward into the new place. You did something really great for yourself and sharing it with others will help them to move forward.
Omggggg your son is so cute 😍 I'm transitioning again (color damage) you're making me want to BC again🙈 cutting off that damaged hair is the best feeling🙌🏾
Love it. The big chop made me feel like I could hear African drums beating in the background. Natural curls are what's really real. Of course, I big chopped because I cut a crochet braid at the base in the front of my head...LOL.
Girl let me first by saying I just love your spirit, your personality and your knowledge on hair. With that being said I love watching your videos!! And I can't wait til your channel grows and grow!!!! Btw I love your natural hair 😍😍😘😘
+Tierra J Beauty Yhu Do Good Hair And It Be Looking Real Good I Want Yhu To Do Mine And Let Me Tell You I Got A Bob And My Father Made Me Get It But At The Same Time It Keep Getting In My Face And I Hate That
Ok, that was the sweetest thing. So pure and honest. How privileged I feel that you let the world in on such a personal, sensitive decision. I felt like I was right there with you. Your little baby's intermittent facial expressions and baby noises made it all worth it too. At the end you were giving the best "face" because suddenly it became brighter, happier and that is what we all want, happiness. Thanks for letting us in!!!!
I so enjoyed watching your video. that's where I am right now. lol Imma go for it. my hat goes off the all women who were so brave to do it......... IMMA DO IT! ✊
I love this video! I remember when I big chopped last year, I felt sooo free and so happy. Been natural for 2 plus years now and it's the best decision I ever made! the growth I got after my big chop was something serious.
Someone would say that you're making a big deal out of this but honestly, it's a genuine emotion to feel as such about hair! New doo, new you?? Not necessarily but to work with what you're born with is a whole new, optimistic adventure to go through. Good Luck! and have fun with the curls!! My bad abut the blabbing :D
I did my big chop yesterday! the way your explaining what you did is exactly all the feelings I experienced. I cried my hair has never been this short before. but the damage was horrible. I love being natural!
Thank you so much for this video. You made me feel so much better about my hair situation. I have suffering from heat damage and protein overload. My hair has been nothing short of frustrating. So thank you for the pep talk. Im moving on from damaged hair with less emotion. Thanks!!!
My entire hair got matted up due to not grooming it (because I was in a deep depression 😔) and i wanna save it but I think I'm just gonna cut it off. It's relaxed dead hair anyway. I just don't wanna feel ugly which is gonna make me more depressed.
I've been contemplating doing the big chop. I talked to my mom and friend this morning. Now I'm at lunch and your video pops up. I want to do it even more now that I have watched this. It's so pretty.
Yaaaaassssss!! Girl I am so proud of you for being so brave I can't wait to see what cute styles you come up with. love seeing your excitement for your curls at the end :)♡
Hey Tierra. I'm natural as well . What type of products would you recommend. My hair stays dry. I haven't found a product yet that'll keep my hair moisturized. Help😕
Girl you must be my lost friend because I definitely feel you. I tried so many attempts to cut my hair and something always seem to stop me, but I did it and I do not regret it. It felt soo good cutting that damaged dry hair off.
i'm so happy you posted this and I found you because i just had my big chop, I tired to grow it out and do the wash and go and my ends were so stringy, finally I decided it should be done! I love the fact that you did the contemplation...Now I can't to wash and go!
It looks great! You know a great deal about hair so I cant wait to see what you do with your hair. I look forward to the videos and Im excited to see your curls styled!!
I just did my big chop last week! I will keep it real- I love the natural look but hate styling short hair . I'm not getting as much play from the fellas, but I started doing yard work. My point, both yin & yang- but I feel complete! Be Happy Sisters! This too shall pass. Love.
wow! I'm grappling with the same dilemma. I've taken it down from being to my shoulder blade up to where your length was at the start of the video. I like my natural texture but I also like the relaxed hair now and then. now what I don't like is those baby curlers on my scalp. I had a Bob cut before and can't stand them things. I definitely commend you on doing The BIG CHOP. thanks for sharing.
Yeah I hear you!! Same here, I loved wearing my straight hair from time to time. My issue is that I'm super impatient and couldn't deal with transitioning lol. You could do it! There are some great styles you can wear while transitioning. Thanks for watching! ❤️
I'm so proud of you for going through with it girl! I remember when I did it myself and at first I thought I looked crazy... but then I found styles that looked good, put on my big pretty earrings and some eyeshadow and baby it was a wrap- Until my hair got too long! It'll grow back and you might want to cut it again, but kudos to you for being NATURALLY brave 😉
You know when you're a pro because from looking at your hair I cannot, I repeat, I cannot see the difference in your texture while your hair is straight at all lol. You are good. I know it was a relief to get it done and over with. Loved the vid. Thanks for sharing with us. Your son is so adorable.
Hey just wanted to say I understand exactly what ur going through I did my big chop in February of this year and now on my natural hair Journey miss my hair but know it's for best and we here for u the natural hair community we here to up lift each other and help each through this process God's blessings.
I want to do a second big chop, but my mom doesn't want me too. But I really want to because when I cut it myself, I didn't do such a good job. But this time I plan on going to my hair stylist so she can cut it into a style. any advice please!
+Dezzi Dez he totally looks like a gorgeous baby of her and he should totally do modeling. and I loved her attitude. Sometimes I have to remind myself that it is just hair :)
I love your videos and you have a great personality omg!!! Your spirit is just beautiful! You almost made me cry because I've been debating whether to go ahead and do the big chop and I think I might!!! I'll let you know😊
I just loved this video! That motivational talk was awesome and made me laugh.. cause that's something I would do. BTW you're baby is sooooo adorable! 😀
You did a good job cutting your hair. Short hair looks good on you. I believe you were having a moment, because your long hair was not bad looking at all. Good job on making your decision. God Bless
your so cool I loved your video thanks for sharing. I am going to do mines next month. I was feeling the same way you was now I am ready thanks for sharing I will be watching your progress. you remind me of left eye!
OMG... I Love It!!! 😍 Great job. The growing process has its challenges, but honey once that hair is long and full and healthy, you won't be sorry. Good Luck on your journey. I'm subscribing now!!
Aww this video was soooo awesome. Your son is sooooo adorable I see you in him too cute. Ecspecially when you asked him about cutting your hair he looks at you and then your hair and smiles. It is preference but God intended us to embrace our natural beauty and I am cutting straight hair this week and I am excited. The first time I did it I didn't go to a straight perm but a soft curl. Then I stopped for a while and began to see my natural curl pattern and I'm loving it like you soo I can sooo relate great video mommy!
I loved this video girl I was nervous with you! Lol I was the same way when I cut my hair but it's a good choice because your hair will be so much healthier! BTW your son is sooooo adorable I love his smile 😍😍😍😍
you remind me of myself yesterday. when I finished I was just so happy and relieved. I babe twa and my hair grows fast so that's the main reason I'm like YES I'M GONNA CUT IT! I cried, contemplated with my guy, with my mom, and everybody true answer was no. and I ignored them and right now it's one of the best decisions I've made in a long time. thank you for reassuring me that this decision was a great one. Love ya lady.
I love this!! Ur baby is so cute 😍😍😍 u do such a good job. Do u have any tips as to what i can use to promote hair growth i jus recently did a chop of my relaxed hair.
nice results, the change you saw before your bc was probably from postpartum, I just had to bc because of it and my hair feels and look much better. And yours does too embrace those beautiful curls girlie.
+MzThebaby80 Thank you so much!! You are soooo right, it was definitely due to postpartum. I had so much shedding and my hair just felt so weak and different. That along with too much heat just messed my hair all up. smh.
yo go girl lol I'm a newbie and, seeing your baby boy just makes me so excited I wish my boy would come out already lol and , I love your curls rock them there beautiful
A few minutes ago I was trying to detangle my hair.. I was putting products in my hair to help me. I saw how curly my natural hair was even though I have been cutting it inch by inch every day for a few days now because I am afraid of chopping my hair off. I just saw how beautiful my hair is. Without relaxers and everything else... I’ve been natural for years. By that I mean just not caring about my hair for years and not taking care of it. Being worried about my family and everyone else besides my own self. My hair use to be so long .. now I’m trying to cut it all off. I don’t want to start over but i need to. So before this day is over I’m going to cut my hair
great video, I like all your video ...you really give us information of what to do and how to do it. I'm growing my hair out without the chop, It's just hard to manage. ..I haven't had a perm since the first week of April....
Girl, I love your video! I've been natural for a while and have been wanting to do another big chop just to start fresh! I'm not sure if I will, but if I do, know that you inspired me! :)

I love your hair, I will be 2 years natural next month and when I big chopped it was one of the best feelings that I ever had😊
Congratulations!!! Speaking from experience doing the big chop is one of the most freeing things you can do! ❤️❤️❤️
Big chops are so needed for healthy hair growth in my opinion! It just takes courage!
You look pretty and your baby is the cutest thing. So precious.
Thanks so much!! ❤️
Someone would say that you're making a big deal out of this but honestly, it's a genuine emotion to feel as such about hair! New doo, new you?? Not necessarily but to work with what you're born with is a whole new, optimistic adventure to go through. Good Luck! and have fun with the curls!!
My bad abut the blabbing :D

+FentyNavi I actually did the big chop May 1st and I love it.
My mom would never support my cutting my hair. I have about 4 inches of relaxed hair left 😑
+Trill. Why?
Eoae She likes for my hair to be long
You've just made my decision for me!!! I'm doing it and I can't wait! Thank you.

July 5
A few minutes ago I was trying to detangle my hair.. I was putting products in my hair to help me. I saw how curly my natural hair was even though I have been cutting it inch by inch every day for a few days now because I am afraid of chopping my hair off. I just saw how beautiful my hair is. Without relaxers and everything else...
I’ve been natural for years. By that I mean just not caring about my hair for years and not taking care of it. Being worried about my family and everyone else besides my own self.
My hair use to be so long .. now I’m trying to cut it all off. I don’t want to start over but i need to. So before this day is over I’m going to cut my hair
You look really good with the short hair!!
OMG new subbie I had tears like you inspired me and the music was touching nerves I love it you look great
great video, I like all your video ...you really give us information of what to do and how to do it. I'm growing my hair out without the chop, It's just hard to manage. ..I haven't had a perm since the first week of April....
Your baby is absolutely adorable. Great video, thanks for sharing..
Aw thank you!! ❤️
it took me along time to decide to cut my hair too... hahaha your cut looks amazing ♡
Girl, I love your video! I've been natural for a while and have been wanting to do another big chop just to start fresh! I'm not sure if I will, but if I do, know that you inspired me! :)
Awesome! I've been transitioning for 15 months and am finally getting the nerve to chop off the rest of the relaxer... You look great!
i loved the end result of your hair. i want to cut my hair as well but so many people say not too.
Tyleisha Hall I'd rather my hair healthy than damaged and unhealthy it'll grow right back!
omggggggg I'm a new subbie. How long did you transition for? I'm big chopping in February of next year
