  • I finally decided to cut my hair off after being natural for 9 yrs! I had a bunch of heat damage from habitually wearing my hair straight and I was tired of my hair consuming my life. Best decision ever!!!!
    Thank you so much for taking the time to watch this video!!!

    Are you thinking about cutting your hair off? It took me about a year to make the decision and my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner!!!

      I shaved everything completely off after learning of the passing of my two younger cousins after Hurricane Dorian. I did it to mourn my cousins and also because I needed a fresh start with my hair. It was liberating and I could feel the breeze on my scalp! It felt wonderful! I found out i had a little dent in the middle of my head towards the back. And naturally, it made me look older which was the only thing i really didn't like. I'm 8 months post shave now. Will I shave again? No. But, I'm happy that I did.

      tangerine melody My condolences to you and your family. When I initially considered cutting my hair, it was as a result of my grandmother’s passing. I kept thinking about how much time I missed with her on days I was home having to style my hair... I finally cut my hair after over a year of pondering and I am glad I did simply because I of the time I save every day. I’m happy to hear that you have started your healthy hair journey. Now you also know what you like vs what hairstyles you love.

      I really really want to cut my hair but I have been told that I would not be pretty anymore. How do I know if short hair would fit my face?

      @@laolualuko9417 Do you like the way you look with your hair pulled back in a low bun? Looking at yourself head on in the mirror with your hair pulled back away from your face may give you a good idea of how you may look if you big chopped your hair. Also, short hair wigs will allow you to see yourself with short hair before you cut your hair. You can also start with a medium hair cut such as a bob or gradually trim your hair over time instead of a big chop so your haircut is less extreme. Ultimately, you should do what you really want to do with your hair. Don’t worry about what people think about YOUR hair, do what you feel most peace about.

    You are so gorgeous, your smile and bone structure are just...🤌🏾. I did a similar big chop (of about 18 inches) last June and it really is SO freeing. It was a more spontaneous thing (unlike your carefully weighed decision) and I did freak out at first but very quickly grew to embrace and love it. I honestly think the big chop is something every woman should experience in her lifetime. Cheers to you and your hair journey 🤗!

    I was a straight hair natural for years until I accepted the fact that the heat was damaging my hair. Now I barely put a flat iron to it and it is in it’s glory being curly. Now after 3 yrs of wearing it mostly curly I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ my curls and can’t imagine it being straight . Welcome to the new you👍🏼

    • @LoriLoveTV
      @LoriLoveTV  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Kelsey T I did wash n go’s for about 5 months straight (hoping my coils would bounce back) before I big chopped. My fro looked limp and wouldn’t last beyond 2 or 3 days so I ended wearing a ponytail and redoing it every few days which is super time consuming so I just cut off. It’s so much easier now. Btw, you have gorgeous curls, giving up the flat irons has really allowed your hair to stay nice and full!!!

    You look Beautiful!! I absolutely love it! I just came home from the salon I did the big chop and I'm already in love with it! I had just as much hair as you did but it was so stressful to deal with, wash days were a disaster and just overall too much. I just wanted it all gone. Just subscribed!☺💜

    • @LoriLoveTV

      Thank youuu. I am so glad you love your big chop. I know the struggle of long natural hair-wash days took forever, my styles didn’t last that long unless it was a protective style so I became completely dependent upon “natural hair stylists” for blowouts but I was never truly happy. I was completely over it when I finally big chopped. Now I have six months of new growth for the first time in two years. I would definitely big chop all over again; no regrets! I hope you enjoy your big chop journey as much as I’ve been enjoying mine. Thank you so much for subscribing🤗🌸💖

      Danielle Miles Welcome back to the cut life😊. Letting your natural texture shine through is perfect in these Coronavirus streets... Last thing we need is to be stuck with 2 different textures not knowing when we can get our next touchup, LOL! That was my biggest struggle when I transitioned from relaxed to natural years ago. The big chop for a healthy hair journey makes life so much easier🙌🏾

    • @LoriLoveTV
      @LoriLoveTV  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @PSALMSOFSONGS Unless you have split ends which only gets worse if you don’t cut them you don’t have to big chop to get rid of damaged hair. You can transition over time instead of big chopping!!! I had heat damage for at least a year before I decided to big chop. During that time it wasn’t too much shedding, actually appeared “healthy“ when it was straightened and my fro still had some volume. I just knew my hair was damaged so I big chopped. If it is not detrimental to your hair, just slowly trim the damaged hair over time until you eventually reach your goal of fully healthy, undamaged hair. In the meantime, you can continue to enjoy your fro. Best wishes 💗
