I have fine 4C hair that used to be see-through. When I stopped using brushes and combs, my hair thickened up and retained length. Finger-detangling and low manipulation styles saved my hair
I know it's a year ago but for anyone reading this, be careful with continuing to slick back your hair while wet. it really broke off the circumfrence of my hair doing it over and over a few weeks. The weakened, wet hair, the gel and the brushing that needed to be done to get it slick while curly was hard on my hair but it looked good.
My hair was the same I had to take it old school start using grease and water and pink lotion and keep my box braids in for like 3 months at a time you have to start greasing your hair like everyday and then eventually like just a few times a week (getAwater bottle) trust the process
I love your personality. You make me feel better about cutting my hair off. Been natural since 2011 and its long but so damaged. Just like you said length doesn't matter if it's damaged. Thank you
I cut all of my split ends & it looks soo much better! Now to get with a healthy regime to get it growing. Length doesn’t matter when I’m trying to achieve healthy hair! I’m so proud of myself & how my hair looks now!
You have been through so much. Yup being alive and healthy is more important than long thin hair! My hair likes to fall out too at the slightest thing so I'm always cutting it! I have been using Olaplex and it has been helping my hair. I only use it once a week and it's lasting me a long time. I have ultra-fine hair too.
Wigs or doing styles have never been the downfall of my hair. Wigs are low manipulation, they may not be for you but for me they are. Y’all only see a 10 min video from me a few times a week. Majority of the time my hair is in twist. Thanks for the advice but I have this under control.😉
Just stretch it and wear a fro. even before the pandemic your hair has been about the same length either you have an addiction to cutting your hair or you don't "have it under control" you've been length over health for so many years but when is that health going to result in length? I know some people like short hair but most of the styles you do include extensions. i would think at some point health would turn into thickness and length.
U have strong healthy roots so at least you didn’t have to shave it. It’s cute too. Enjoy it while it’s shorter m easier cause it’ll b back faster than y want it to.
Try using a wide tooth comb or a wide toothpick. Be gentle when you comb or brush your hair, and please use some oil on your scalp so it won't be dry. In 1999, I wore a chin bob, and in 2022, my hair grew to a bra length. I just recently got a taper cut. Love it. To grow my hair, I wore 2 brairs Indian style and only wore my hair in a cute curlie style on Sundays, then back to the braids. Find out what works for you and stick to it. ❤
I can’t speak for anyone else but I suffered hair lost almost a year ago. That’s why my hair was like this. To prevent it from happening making sure you’re getting your hair trimmed.
Thank you sooo much for uploading this video. I decided to cut my hair like you did right after watching this video this morning and omggg!!! Girrrllll!! I’m so happy with the outcome. I slapped some foam and gel on my hair and lightly blow dried it and honestly I feel like such a fucking baddie! 😭😭 My confidence is really untouchable right now. I was so afraid of having a twa but this is just what I needed and I honestly I look good af. No 🧢! I even look younger. ☺️💗✨ So thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Shears and a 3 way mirror got the job done! 😌🌸💗
The C-19 and Chronic anemia caused my hair to thin and shed really badly. I'm trying to decide whether to big chop or ride it out while taking my meds, then trim.
When I saw this video I was like OMG I thank you so much for doing this video. My hair looks exactly like your hair. I’m also Low iron deficiency as well I struggled with hair growth my whole entire life. Thank you for the great tips and I absolutely love your hairstyles.
The reason a lot of you are having hair trouble is because you won't work with a stylist. You say it'be because they don't know what they're doing but you have hair, like this. there are qualified stylists, you just have to find them. it's not easy but, this is worse than you should be enduring
My hair actually ended up like this from me being severely ill. It had nothing to do with my maintenance. I’ve been to stylist and literally had to coach them on what to do. This video is old so this stage of my life is over ☺️
Wow see! I’m a Texture specialist and I got C in May. I was sick for 3 month with LHC. I’ve seen quite a few clients experience this and I’ve been helping through this process. My hair has felt terrible since May. I might upload my experience as well. I’ve been wanting to big chop so badly for months because of this. You are not alone and not many ppl are talking about this. This is more noticeable with fine stranded, rippled outer textured tight curls. Thank you for sharing.
My hair looked just like yours. I got a haircut in August and will get a regular trim (every 3-4 months instead of annually) and everything should grow in fuller together. The goal is to see how long my hair will grow (before I cut it off again 🤭).
I went through this after having Covid as well. It is heartbreaking because I also had to do an unplanned haircut. I understand completely. Now, my hair is in recovery and seems to be flourishing. I wish you the very best on this journey. Chin up! 🙏🏾💗
Me too! literally the exact same thing in the exact same place. The hair at the top of my head was always my longest and strongest hair with the loosest curl pattern. A few months after covid it started breaking like i have never experienced I even got a bald spot. nice to know i am not alone lol
Same! My hair was doing so well and then I got covid and it looked exactly like hers. I was heartbroken that was 2 years ago and I cut all off the end of December
How do you get your blow dryer to get hair straight, I just can’t get it without all the fuzz look! Good luck on your hair journey🔥 good you got over that sickness 🙏🏽
Your hair looks very healthy and looks good. I thank you for sharing your hair journey and that you are healthy after recovering . God Bless you. Enjoying your videos.
Okay yes!!! Bc I see these other videos where I’m like YOU DIDNT CUT ENOUGH!! And their ends still look thin or scraggly bc they are scared to cut the length. I was second guessing if I was missing something or cut too much off. Thank you!
I thought about cutting my 4c hair as well because it was sooo dry and I couldn’t comb it, but then I discovered dark and lovely detangling cream and now me and my hair are getting along for the first time in months. You should try defining your curls. Love the cut. Looks very healthy.
Looks like mechanical damage I would recommend detangling with oil in small sections with oil try to do style were you can oil you hair and comb it everyday. Do not detangling on wet hair don’t let you hair get matted ever and don’t put grease or oil on the scalp it clogs the hair follicle and makes hair fall out. And try low manipulation style as well as washing your hair at least 2x a week to unclog the hair follicle and deep condition regularly . Best of luck on your hair grow journey
My hair now😢. I also have to start a new journey. My hair looks like yours because i tried geowing my hair thicker, so i have to get rid of the thinner ends. My hair length is past my shoulder and now i have to cut it all to the length of the new growth😢
@@MonaB my hair used to be like yours until I started trimming it regularly and eventually locked my hair too 🤗 My hair has never been healthier and longer 😊
What I love about you is that you don't hold on to anything that is pulling you back. You always promote health over length when it comes to your hair. You hair have been through so much during the time you were not well, now, it's time to start fresh. I'm surprised you didn't chop all off😂😂😂😂😂. I'm excited for this new journey.❤
You still look so beautiful it's like a style you were going for...like for real. The cut is so pretty on you❤😟, now iam tempted to cut mine for no reason.
Aww.. Dang. My hair grew out. I start watching your video & used that Boost Gel washed my hair every week & My hair grew out & healthy... I stayed with my simply natural bun at the top...
I am feeling every second of this video! This was me last week. I couldn’t figure out why my hair was so unruly. Then I washed and blow dried, and saw the exact same thing in my hair. I couldn’t believe it, and I cut all that mess outta my head. It looks 1,000% better. And like you said, I wasn’t about to go to a hair salon and have them “play in my head”! Thank you so much for sharing this video with us!!! So helpful!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💥💥💥💥💥✌🏽💜
@@DivaEagle77 that's so true! About 10 years ago, my hair was coming out, and it was due to an iron deficiency. That problem was solved by taking iron pills, and everything was fine. A few women I know had COVID, and the same thing happened to them. It's really strange. It continues to grow back, but wow.
@@shebamack4266yeah, so strange! The last couple years I’ve learned so much about stress and hair loss and vitamin deficiencies and hair loss. I had Covid hair loss. Hair loss due to iron deficiencies from uterine fibroids. Then another time my hair snapped at the root due to Vitamin D deficiency. So now I’ve learned to keep my stress low, I take Geritol for iron, beef liver pills for Vitamin A and D, pumpkin oil topically to combat DHT, and Ritual Pre Natal Vitamins for any other minerals and Omega 3s. Hair is healthy and thriving now. But good Lord!!! The learning process was a MESS! I’m glad you’re feeling better :)
I wish I could of cut my hair myself you always do such an awesome job it's just hair it will definitely grow back lovely as always thanks for sharing B

I have fine 4C hair that used to be see-through. When I stopped using brushes and combs, my hair thickened up and retained length. Finger-detangling and low manipulation styles saved my hair
Yes finger detangling is the best!!
I use mainly seamless combs.
What kind of low manipulation styles? Would you consider bantu knots with extensions low manipulation?
What does it mean when “ your hair dies on you “?
@@welliminitnowso it means it is irreparably damaged and there's no choice but to cut it off.
honestly you're so sensible and disciplined. Health over length. I need to get over myself and do the same
Yes do it, you won’t regret it!!❤️
If my hair isn't acting right I go in every 6 weeks and dust those ends off! Lol! I let the pro do it every 12-16 weeks.
Watching people cut off their hair is so therapeutic to me. Idk why 😭😭 Your hair will grow back beautifully! 😍
Yes it really is I love watching it too!!❤️
REPENT OF ALL YOUR SINS TO ALMIGHTY JESUS CHRIST AMEN
Jesus Christ loves you so much sister 💕💗❤️. He died for you and He is coming back soon 🙌🏾🙏🏾

That’s the only way!!🎉
We're so.. dependent on our hair that I'm cringing at cutting off the "false length" that I have. Smh I need to suck it up
I hate it when my hair is not even. After you blow dried it you can really tell the difference. Good luck. 👍🏾
I love your personality. You make me feel better about cutting my hair off. Been natural since 2011 and its long but so damaged. Just like you said length doesn't matter if it's damaged. Thank you
I cut all of my split ends & it looks soo much better! Now to get with a healthy regime to get it growing. Length doesn’t matter when I’m trying to achieve healthy hair! I’m so proud of myself & how my hair looks now!
*Regimen
you cut it SO perfectly 😍
Thank you!!☺️

I’m about to do the same thing this weekend. Starting all over is nothing to me. Love it✨💕✨
Your transparency is so refreshing. Your hair looks good and healthy after the cut 👍🏾☺️
Aw thank you!!❤️
I needed to see this so bad today. Thank you for showing us to face reality, be brave, and move on! Lol
You have been through so much. Yup being alive and healthy is more important than long thin hair! My hair likes to fall out too at the slightest thing so I'm always cutting it! I have been using Olaplex and it has been helping my hair. I only use it once a week and it's lasting me a long time. I have ultra-fine hair too.
I’ll have to check it out!! Yes I’m thankful to be here!!❤️
Low manipulation, give your hair a break I know that you love to do a lot of hairstyles, wigs etc, but sometimes a pause is needed.
Wigs or doing styles have never been the downfall of my hair. Wigs are low manipulation, they may not be for you but for me they are. Y’all only see a 10 min video from me a few times a week. Majority of the time my hair is in twist. Thanks for the advice but I have this under control.😉
Just stretch it and wear a fro. even before the pandemic your hair has been about the same length either you have an addiction to cutting your hair or you don't "have it under control" you've been length over health for so many years but when is that health going to result in length? I know some people like short hair but most of the styles you do include extensions. i would think at some point health would turn into thickness and length.
@@Ehlaar yup
U have strong healthy roots so at least you didn’t have to shave it. It’s cute too. Enjoy it while it’s shorter m easier cause it’ll b back faster than y want it to.
Try using a wide tooth comb or a wide toothpick. Be gentle when you comb or brush your hair, and please use some oil on your scalp so it won't be dry. In 1999, I wore a chin bob, and in 2022, my hair grew to a bra length. I just recently got a taper cut. Love it.

Saludos de Panamá no entiendo inglés pero me encanta verla es tremenda profesional y súper linda me gustan sus ojos
see cuzz im cute all way round no matter if my hair short or tall i dont be minding

The C-19 and Chronic anemia caused my hair to thin and shed really badly. I'm trying to decide whether to big chop or ride it out while taking my meds, then trim.
I just cut mine Saturday (day before Mother’s Day). I was over here looking like Baby Pete from the movie Sextuplets 😂😂😂😂😂
My hair looks just like yours and I was just saying I didn't want to go to the shop. I wanted to learn how to cut my own hair.
When I saw this video I was like OMG I thank you so much for doing this video. My hair looks exactly like your hair. I’m also Low iron deficiency as well I struggled with hair growth my whole entire life. Thank you for the great tips and I absolutely love your hairstyles.

I was just thinking today that I'm gonna cut mine again
All off🤣
Lol yes I couldn’t take it anymore!!
My hair was the same exact way😭! What hair products do you use to maintain it?
Question: the hair you cut off, is that what is considered split ends? Or you cut it off because you didn't like that it's thin?
Dead ends
My hair looked just like yours. I got a haircut in August and will get a regular trim (every 3-4 months instead of annually) and everything should grow in fuller together. The goal is to see how long my hair will grow (before I cut it off again 🤭).
That’s what’s up!! I’m definitely going to grow my hair out!!
I share the same sentiments concerning locs
I went through this after having Covid as well. It is heartbreaking because I also had to do an unplanned haircut. I understand completely. Now, my hair is in recovery and seems to be flourishing. I wish you the very best on this journey. Chin up! 🙏🏾💗

Omg!! I had it in 2022 and the same thing happened to me!! A side effect no one wants to talk about!
I have postpartum shedding and my hair is so thin and still shedding now😭 I’m going to have to cut it and start over
One of my friends had hair loss from that too. Good news, it’s now growing back full again
Praise God!!🙌🏾
I wounder why hair does this my hair always dies like this, and it only happens when I’m natural
How do you get your blow dryer to get hair straight, I just can’t get it without all the fuzz look! Good luck on your hair journey🔥 good you got over that sickness 🙏🏽
Thank you, are you using the highest heat setting?
@@MonaB ok should I do that?
@@MonaB I just done it, it worked Thank you!😁
Health over length! Just restarted my journey! Godspeed on yours 💕
Yes yes always!!❤️
What did you do to help start growing out healthy?
Your hair looks very healthy and looks good. I thank you for sharing your hair journey and that you are healthy after recovering . God Bless you. Enjoying your videos.
you are so cute! the cut did you justice.
Aw thank you!!❤️
Gonna cut my hair this weekend n putting it in loc twist and I'm keeping it like that for the next 20 years
What are split ends and how are they different from thin hair?
Wow you did great cutting your hair. I’m doing this tonight I’m sick of hanging on to my struggling ends.
This is me right now expect with a bald patch in the middle 😢 no more fast food and will transition to exercise and better life style
Okay yes!!! Bc I see these other videos where I’m like YOU DIDNT CUT ENOUGH!! And their ends still look thin or scraggly bc they are scared to cut the length. I was second guessing if I was missing something or cut too much off. Thank you!
Great job! Looks so much healthier ❤
It wasn’t bad sis.
It Will strive for sure.
Whew if you could’ve felt it!! It was bad 😩
What blow dryer did you use for the blow out?
I thought about cutting my 4c hair as well because it was sooo dry and I couldn’t comb it, but then I discovered dark and lovely detangling cream and now me and my hair are getting along for the first time in months. You should try defining your curls. Love the cut. Looks very healthy.
How do you define your curls? Sorry I'm new to this natural hair life
Do you know if you have low iron! Or hemoglobin?
I don't understand why you had to cut it. Would the thinner ends cause problems or is it just to make it look better?
They’re very thin and nothing can be done with ends like that. They can damage your hair more and stunt hair growth.
My bad ends tangle, knot and split more...so I cut them off before they damage the healthy strands.
@@MonaB Ok, I didn't know it could damage the rest of the hair. They say hair is dead, so I thought it wouldn't matter.
Much better looking. Good job 👍🏽. Makes me wanna do that too 🤔
Thank you!! God for it!! My hair is growing back so nicely now!!
Just did the same thing 🎉 and then took the clippers out and had a Britt moment 😅
I had the same situation after my situation. I had a complete bald top.
Mee too
Lol
Box braids would have been good
So are these spilt ends or dead ends??
You did such an amazing job cutting. Your hair will grow back beautifully. I’m building my courage to cut my hair and start my natural hair journey.
Looks like my hair
good job looks much better
Yassss you inspired me to do mine👏😂
Yes do it!!!☺️
You look like Mary J Blidge❤️

U still ain cutting low enough in some spots lol
Dose see through hair actually matter
Loved your confidence
Lucky you had Peach fuz 😒⚠️
Have you tried hair vitamins & a healthier diet. That'll really get your length & thickness back.

I may be wrong, but that particular pattern of hair loss often means iron deficiency. May want to have your levels checked ❤
@@DivaEagle77 that's so true! About 10 years ago, my hair was coming out, and it was due to an iron deficiency. That problem was solved by taking iron pills, and everything was fine. A few women I know had COVID, and the same thing happened to them. It's really strange. It continues to grow back, but wow.
@@shebamack4266yeah, so strange! The last couple years I’ve learned so much about stress and hair loss and vitamin deficiencies and hair loss. I had Covid hair loss. Hair loss due to iron deficiencies from uterine fibroids. Then another time my hair snapped at the root due to Vitamin D deficiency. So now I’ve learned to keep my stress low, I take Geritol for iron, beef liver pills for Vitamin A and D, pumpkin oil topically to combat DHT, and Ritual Pre Natal Vitamins for any other minerals and Omega 3s. Hair is healthy and thriving now. But good Lord!!! The learning process was a MESS! I’m glad you’re feeling better :)
i love ur voice !!
Did you see a dermatologist and why not let a professional cut it and give it shape so it grows back nicely?
I don’t share my doctors visits online with strangers and I am a professional.
Fabulous ❤❤❤
I just did this ☺️🙈
The respect I have for you… WOW
Nice girlnyour hair looks great
