    I totally agree. I absolutely HATED my natural hair shape. Due to this, I didn’t like leaving my hair out. Butttt since quarantine started, I cut my hair like 3 times to get my desirable shape. I’m in loveeee now.

    I totally agree. I love my natural hair but sometimes when I styled, it looked crazy which made me frustrated. Some parts of it was too long. Anyway since we're in quarantine i decided to cut my hair to shape. I already knew how I wanted it to look so I watched a couple videos and did it and I love it so much. My hair styles look so much better now and I'm not as frustrated as I used to be.
    Even though I lost some length it is totally worth it, I don't even miss the extra inches. I have a round face and went for the round shape.

      Omg I’m at that point too. I diy all of my weaved, frontal, natural styles so I’m tempted to just do it myself. I just need a 4b girl to make something in great detail. I’ll chop up a wig but I’ve worked too hard for this current length.

    Girl lemme tell u I love all the natural hair information that you provide to us!! You got me to change my regimen now I’m hooked on co washing. I had to get a second chop because I bleached my ends and it went down hill from there. Now I want to take a different approach this time around. Saw your video about oils that was great information. I always thought natural hair always needed oil to tame frizz. Love your channel ❤️

    Just an FYI, the heart tends to grow out to more of an oval, especially if you're like me and the top part of your hair tends to get weighed with length. My stylist found that we have to take a bit off the top to it looking right. My hair is 3c/4a.

    I wore a curly afro, but the top of my hair grew and before I knew it, it would stand up on the top anymore. I had to spray water on it to shrink it. That was last week. This week 6/8/22, I decided to do a length check and my last year, my afro was perfectly round and cute, but it's grown exponentially! My hair is now below my shoulders. It hasn't been this long since I was a kid. I'm 66 now. Okay, I want to go to a salon and get my hair trimmed, but the curly salons want $350 for a wash and go. That's Beverly Hills prices.

If you want to try something new go for a big chop it’s just a change that you have to get used to ❤️

    I totally agree with her...during quarantine I had to cut my hair because it just didn’t look, feel or style correctly. As soon as the hair salon opened I could see my stylist and she did a big chop. I love my hair texture and cut. It made the difference. The only thing I would suggest is to study, research and take at least 2 or 3 pics so you both are communicating on the same page. I have been coloring my hair for years so I even had pics of the color and I love ❤️, 💕 my hair. I feel I’m ready for it to grow in the shape and style that I’m looking for....The natural hair journey is a BIG step....enjoy it Curleys ❤️🙏🏾😷

      booktoblockbuster you could wear a head band over your forehead until it dries. I mean like a bandana with a little knot that keeps the hairs just off your skin it doesn’t have to be tight so it wouldn’t crush the curls in the back of your head either ❤️
