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.
Can already tell I’m gonna LOVE this video because I’m going in for a curly haircut soon and have been doing so much research to find out what I want and everything! It almost like you read my mind lol you are god sent🙏 such a great video
I cut my hair all the way last year due to hair damaged it is and I’ve kept it very short ever since. I’m still learning more about my hair but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been with it!
This is a great idea! Would love to see an updated one that showcased long natural hair (mid back and bra strap length) shapes for 3b and 3c. Oh and 4a too!
I think my hair shape is what’s making me not like my hair because the front is way longer than the back and I hate it cause some styles don’t look right
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 ❤️
Can you do an updated weekly wash n go? Like what you do whenever you’re just doing your hair for the week? I have the exact same hair as you but yours sits lower on your shoulders!
Yea bangs do grow super fast. Over night it seems sometimes. Ive got one piece that's forever in my eye, no matter how often i trim it? I wish the rest grew so fast!
I did a big chop like you without tapering. My hair itself is growing in layers, the back grows the fastest and its the longest 🙂. I'm currently on cheekbones, jaw and shoulder length. 🙆
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 did the dramatic tapered, and it's been 2 years...still trying to grow my hair out and it is very frustrating. :( Barely reaches past my collar bone.
Thank you so much for this video! There aren’t a lot of videos like this specifically for natural hair! I did a big chop (completely bald) 8 months ago and my hair is growing past the twa stage so I’ve been trying to figure out what shape works best for me! I know exactly what shape I want to go for now! ❤
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.
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 ❤️🙏🏾😷
#4 is how my hair naturally grows out. So i keep my bangs for shape control. The crown growing so slowly in relation to my large head makes dusting a haircut every time 😢
From the side I’m flat faced, I have a jawline just not visible and I don’t even look human from side profile Bc of my genetic “eye bags” when it’s really just a deep eye set and I loveee that cut style but oh waittt of course my face is like too wide and fat for everything but I’m skinnyyy but this vid was so super helpful even tho I’m the reality of the image every pretty girl cringes at ❤️❤️😄
1. I love your teeth and the way you say “bangs” 2. This video is 😍 I def have been looking for a shape Bc I’m kind of tired of my side swept bangs and round cut. Thanks for this video ♥️😊
arlene pharrow shaved my head for years now. I recently bleached and dyed it and am not a fan. But I am not going to big chop I grew out length and now I am going to keep it and slowly cut as new hair grows in. If you want to try something new go for a big chop it’s just a change that you have to get used to ❤️
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 ❤️
Hi! Great video! May I ask, whose pic did you insert for the style/shape that is like yours? Both of you look beautiful with that style. I want to try it when my hair gets longer.
Recently got a deva cut by this white lady who said she was deva certified and I wanted to cry when she got finished because It wasn't what I wanted nor even asked for so now after a couple of months I'm thinking about going back to get one but with a different stylist because I'm not in love with my hair at the moment.
I absolutely HATE the heart shape, and it’s why I can’t find anyone to cut my hair. Because it’s the gold standard for the silk press. I try to explain to the stylist I’m never getting a silk press so I do NOT want the blunt hair cut. Yet it’s still what I end up with. 😢
My hair looks so nice in the front, but the back crown area is disrespectful. It seems more coarse and almost damaged and if much more frizzy than any other part of my hair!!! I haven't straightened my hair for over a year! Love the shape of your hair!
I’ll have to disagree with you on the dramatic tapered picture you showed, that’s the one I had for my 2nd big chop and my hair grew out into a heart shape. It’s one of the easiest shapes to maintain as your hair grows out Because it looks good in almost all of the stages.
@@keepinitkawaii it does! I had that tapered cut a few years ago. Curl definition is a struggle for me, so I mostly wore finger coils and twist outs with this cut.
i enjoyed this video very much. Ive been contiplating my next style with my natural hair. initially I wanted to grow it long but am getting tired of it, My hair has no life, no style, the heart shape sounds interesting. I like being able to change it up a bit. my face is oval but i have a round chin where im wondering if I can pull off that cut. What do you think
When I big chopped I did it myself with clippers in like a really blunt tapped I’ve been waiting for it to grow so I can shape it it’s been two years I’m tired of waiting lol ima just do it😭
My curls are similar to Alyssa's but the front stays very frizzy and will not curl even with manipulation and training. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really don't know what to do about it
Maybe try using silicones on the front if you're not averse to it. My hair is curly and gets very frizzy too. I used a DC that had silicon and I was really shook how defined my hair was after
@@lyan-joylugay9078 botanika beauty deep conditioner, neutrogena triple moisture deep conditioner. You can also use a hair serum which might be better since you can just target the front area. Argan oil of Morocco hair serum, garnier fructis hair serum. I hope this helps. Garnier fructis leave in conditioning cream. They are all glycerin free
She's a type 3, your hair won't look like hers unless you do a curly perm. I bet your 4C hair is absolutely beautiful!!!!!! I love the look 4C hair 🙂. I have 4a hair, and primarily wear it in an afro, and always wish it could look like a 4C afro. Your hair just naturally shapes so effortlessly!!!!! I have to squish and pat down mine to get it to shrink and shape. Sorry, I rambled a bit!!!
Sadly, I don't have a qualified stylist who knows how to cut natural curly hair. I can get a cut on blowout hair but that really wouldn't give me the shape and style I want for my curly hair. This is one of the downsides of living in Canada... if you don't live in a big city like Toronto your options for natural hair is limited... I'm learning as I go and doing what works best for my hair. I do see a stylist who does take care of my hair eg. trims and hair colouring when I need it ie. get rid of the greys... that's about it.
This was a great video! I love ❤️ the heart shape. I've watched a couple of TH-camrs cut their hair in the heart shape and it looks amazing! Right now, my hair is short so I will do the round afro shape until my hair grows back out. My have 3C/4A,4B hair. Tfs 😘
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.
That's so me... Still don't have the confidence. Can't find a good stylist who understands my hair
so happy for you 😊 I'm still trying to figure out what shape looks good with my curls

Really great guide! I’ve never seen fro shapes broken down like this. We need this terminology when going to a stylist!!

Have you tried the Pattern product by Tracee Ross? PLEASE WATCH MY VIDEO I MARRIED A WHITE GUY!
I’m so scared to get the cut and my mom won’t let me take care of my natural hair so I’m stuck :(
I cut my hair all the way last year due to hair damaged it is and I’ve kept it very short ever since. I’m still learning more about my hair but I’m the happiest I’ve ever been with it!
You made this at the perfect time! I've just started looking for curly salons last night!
This is a great idea! Would love to see an updated one that showcased long natural hair (mid back and bra strap length) shapes for 3b and 3c. Oh and 4a too!
Yep...I'm growing out my hair and I am finding that my hair type is a mixture of 3c and 4a
Ur hair is beautiful!!! Omg I can’t wait to see more videos from u, keep it up
Yes finallyyyyyy!!!! Thank you I’ve been googling this topic on natural hair for MONTHS!!!!!!! God Bless You!
Thank you so much for this video 🥺 I’m literally using your picture as my inspiration for my appointment!
"Wake up, fluff and go" is my new favorite saying nowww- Thank you for the video, this helped a lot!

Very informative!! I need to rethink my hairs shape -vs-my current motivation for maintenance ☹️☹️😤.. ❤️shape might be my new jam🥰!
Just got my cut, lovin the short round curly fro🙂
I did a big chop like you without tapering. My hair itself is growing in layers, the back grows the fastest and its the longest 🙂.
I'm currently on cheekbones, jaw and shoulder length. 🙆
Girl me too 😂
I’m scared what it’s gonna look like if I straighten it.
@@sleepysheep8753 i added more layers and pin curl its cute
I am currently doing the round fro but eventually I will start shaping it like a pompadour.
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.
Where can I go to get your fro shape long layers with bangs ? Your hair is one of the best things trending !!!

I see nothing wrong with how you look in your profile pic. I hope you realize that now since this comment was made 2 yrs ago.
Just what I needed! Thank you so much !
Luv your cut ! Would luv mine cut to that shape. Can you pls share contact information for your stylist?

I don't like a part down the middle of my hair. I like yours
I like the shape of your hair! What’s the name of your cut? Thanks 🙂
You are my hair goals, 😍😍. I dont know where to start😣 do I big chop, will I look good with short hair. 🙆♀️

Go for it do what you want you only live once. Confidence is all you need to rock short hair 😊
You can always get a wig in the short shape shape that you are interested in to see if you would like the style.
Omg. I love your lip colour. What brand and number is it ?!!😍
Love your bangs! Do bangs make you breakout more on your forhead because of the product? Thats a concern for me

Trying to find a salon that will train my curls can you please send me a text
Hi! Great video! May I ask, whose pic did you insert for the style/shape that is like yours? Both of you look beautiful with that style. I want to try it when my hair gets longer.
Gorgeous hair! Where you get that shape and hair color?!?!
Girl there’s an ad for tinder under this video I’m screaming 😩
I love your hair, I have went to a tapered cut, and loving it.

i'm so sorry!! UGH! did you check review from people with a similar hair type??
@@AlyssaMarieXo yes I did and I'm convinced they where either fake or they paid them lol
Been concerned about what short style fits my head and face best
I am watching this, cause if I could change anything it will be the shape of my face. Maybe this could give some ideas
Thanks for the heads-up to us type 3c/4a curls
You totally give me Rhianna vibes - Love it.
What is the shape u have? That’s how I want mines cut..(so I kno what to tell my stylist)
@Ricki B. timestamp?
i am not aesthetic 4:30
Great videos. Love it. Very informative. Keep inspiring us Natural Hair Queens (NHQ).
