I'm so lost in the Black beauty side of TH-cam ..I watched one vid that led to another and another and another.. I love how different the hair types are . So vast in style and reaction to how you girls style it , even the same hair types don't look always look similar when they are emulating the same style. I love seeing you cutting the ends to begin fresh and natural , I was Here getting hyped for you!! Lmao it's beautiful
That is exactly what happened to me!!! I love it how we can learn how to take care of us!
Andrea Gaiter Ugh I love it some much!! And i love seeing black girls in public (Dont see a lot in my country) and Im staring at the hair cause I know the name of the style she has and the process she went thru lool. Internet is a mad place, this gen is a good one to be in
me too. I've been watching videos cause I wanna transition but I have to know how to take care of my hair
same thing happened to me XD although I am becoming a natural curly myself I got lost watching all these big chops and curly hair routines❤
We appreciate you guys loving our hair lol. 💕
My favorite moment of this video is when you are holding the relaxed mohawk and the song goes "I'm on top of the world" lol cause that's exactly how it looks like you're feeling
I love that part too lol
+Raquel Cruz its exactly how i felt
Raquel Cruz that made me happy !
Same here
subscribe to my channel I did my big chop
literally gave me hope to become natural ... its 3:18 a.m I feel like getting out my bed in just chop away the relaxed ends .. my husband will be shock in the a.m
*and not in lol
did you do it? :)
+Fangoddess yes I did exactly at 3:25 am .. but I'm not really comfortable with the shortness so im wearing a protective style now .. I cut all the relaxed ends off
+bri hall That's wonderful!! Good luck on your natural hair journey!!! :)
Thank you !!
Honestly I went to a stylist and got the big chop.. When she turned me around I started crying no lie. I love how you had such a positive vibe about it. Now it's grown so much over the past years but I will never let my hair get as damaged as it was again :)
I agree! I'm transitioning right now!😭😭😭😭😭
I've coloured and cut for years but i refuse to cut now!
Jazzy Fri I’m proud of you girl, don’t let no one stop you from your dreams!
subscribe to my channel I did my big chop
Is it possible to be so proud of someone you don't even know. I don't know why but I wanted to cry like I felt that weight lifted how cute
Thanks so much girl
I big chopped!! I got so many compliments from friends and family and I can't wait to grow back! Dear whoever reads this deciding if they wanna big chop, DO IT! YOU WON'T REGRET IT!
I big chopped and I’m just ready for it to grow back . I most definitely don’t regret it tho
It looks so beautiful natural! You're so pretty
Kelly Peterson Such a sweet comment 🤗
💕💕💕💕
Yeah lzzie looking beautiful
Latisha😁
So nice
I think your big chop is very evolutionary. Black woman need to more comfortable with their hair. I recently big chopped and because its summer soon i decided to wait to put braids in. All the JUDGEMENTAL comments, critiques and glares I'm getting at the moment by OTHER black women with the SAME type of hair i have is UNBELIEVABLE. Im beginning to love myself and my hair , I even dyed my afro red :) STAY natural Chevyswavey, black hair can grow!
L
God gave it to us- I say rock it!!!
Also anyone who says mean things and judges .... they have issues and more often than not are tryig to be what they aren't. Let those naysayers be rock your hair Queen!
I love watching this type of videos and seeing the comments
Cause it’s giving me more and more confidence to do my big chop
So beautiful! Even though my hair journey will be different as someone with Caucasian hair, i'm taking the step to chop off all the over processed artificial blonde hair- and watching these videos is encouraging!
Sierra Nikole I'm glad I could encourage you :) it has less to do with type of hair and more to do with acceptance of yourself and choosing health!
I live in an area where theres almost no people of colour, and your hair fascinates me so much. Im so used to seeing straight hair and the texture of yours is so beautiful
lace and leather Lol thank u ! I love versatility and diversity
I want to big chop but my mom won't let me
Marae Abrams sameee
I don't think you should just openly disobey your parents as the other person suggest. At the end of the day you're the one who will have to be confronted by your parents regarding the decisions you make. If I were you, I would research and gather adequate information to present to your parents. Doing this will show your parents maturity and responsibility in your actions. They will see that you're serious about this subject. Find hair pictures and videos that is similar to your hair texture and length you hope to acquire. Also research information about how to take care of your hair if it were to be cut. Present all this info to your parents and explain in detail why you feel that this matter will benefit you in the long run and why its important to you! Hopefully your parents will understand and allow you this experience. Best of luck!! :)
What most people don't notice, most of the time it's the parent who has to deal with their child's hair. If they don't wanna deal with the stress then that's completely fine.
Marae Abrams I'm doing my big chop in 3 weeks I'm so FREAKING exited😄😄
Nonya Business I'm doing the big chop at the end of the month! Im so happy :)
i been natural for 5years in still love to look at video like this...i love it
Me too I've been natural for 1 year and these videos are so relaxing to me lol.
+Prettybrown_Scorpio Just had to comment because it's so ironic and lovely that you used the word 'relaxing' :)
i want to big chop but i'm still un thé first month . when can i cut mine? i'm so excited
+Lucie marisette Assomo Elanga when every you are comfortable
subscribe to my channel I did my big chop

Woo!
Good luck xxxxx
+SuperFusionone congrats!!!! :)
So adorable. I love it.
+Rhonda Pillers Thank you!
I love seeing these women embracing their natural curls, a lot of them don’t know how pretty they are naturally and having to straighten their hair is so damaging. I love theses videos! Yes! You look so much beautiful the way God made you my dear!
WHOO I finally cut it & recorded it if anyone wants to take a peek ! thank you so much for being my inspiration, no regrets & i'm glad I waited a year like you did. so in love with my hair now, super soft and fluffy.
You GO Girl back To natural.I did mine last year and i love how it is growing.
Your reaction was priceless and very empowering for someone, such as myself, who fears a bc and the short hair that comes with it. So much confidence and adoration. Loved it. 👍
nicmodisette Thanks girl, I'm glad to have helped! Also check out my confidence video where I talk about fearing short hair or fearing big chopping :)
I'm so happy that my mum cut my relaxed ends off when I was eight i have been natural for so long. I can't believe I was so sad when I stopped my relaxed hair because I remember me not being able to put it up in a ponytail but now I'm so appreciative and I couldn't thank you mum enough yayyyyy go natural 🥳💖😁👍
THIS VIDEO WAS SO EXCITING!! I COULD FEEL ALMOST EVERY EMOTION. THANKS FOR SHARING.
thank you :)
Bom dia
Muito bom
GREAT JOB!!! and I Love your enthusiasm for your NATURAL HAIR! GAVE ME LIFE HONEY!!!
Mo B Thank you!! :) I'm happy it did!
I am going to be a good idea
lovelynaturalcurls Good jocb. It looks great
Your hair is beautiful!
MyInvisibleChyrsalis Thank you!
I'm only 4 months into transitioning. I'm thinking I have a 4b texture. And I swear that I'm ready to shave it all off 😂 can someone PLEASE tell me it gets easier when you big chop. Cause it hurts to comb my hair. And if I break another comb I'm gonna be pissed.
It's okay!! Going natural gas really changed the way I view my hair for the better. You really get to know your hair and you can experiment with a lot of things. It's nice letting your hair be free and healthier
Yes it gets a lot easier because your hair will be one texture instead of straight and curly
Transitioning wastes time and it's annoying because you're dealing with two different hair textures. Just cut that shit off and stop clinging to them stringy ends lol.
+Elle Keener not everyone likes super short hair
PiccoloVegeta97 I would rather have short hair than cling onto stringy ass ends. But that's just me.
I did the big chop but I didn't wait for my natural hair to grow I just chopped it. I had one inch of hair if I pulled it. It's been a year now and my hair is down to my shoulders. This whole process is a journey and you have to be willing to take it patiently. It is so worth it
+aja brown Awesome! It is amazing with patience
My relaxed ends broke off in the back as well. I transitioned for a year as well. Once I cut the relaxed ends my hair did much better.
yeah I'm so excited for the progress my hair will make without the relaxed ends !
WOW it looks so great on you. Not everyone looks good at first with a big chop or TWA. I big chopped my hair about the same length almost 2 years ago and it didn't look nearly as good in my opinion. But amazinggggg on you, Congrats !!
Arianna Webb Thank you! :) I'm sure natural hair looks amazing on you and it's probably gotten so much length!
Natural Hair Natural Me You're welcome. & yes it has gotten quite some length now and its super thick which is a plus.. Can't wait to straighten it lol
Christine Nigeria haha!! aww me too have been wanting to experiment with some weave or wigs
Christine Nigeria LOL! so true - bout to start looking on allyexpress
Christine Nigeria yeah I thought about doing that but I'm afraid it wont come out good
I'm so proud of you! I'm about 2 months away from my own first big
chop. Such an inspiration. Thank You!I'm
so proud of you!
+Tulani Alexander thank you
@ 4:07 I’m not sure why but this is such a beautiful moment with music and the empowerment you can see on your face starting a new chapter embracing your afro sentric heritage
This is my fav big chop video ❤️ I'll be one year post on June 13 & you have most definitely inspired me to cut it ! Your hair looks beautiful btw !!
ShantelKarisma Im so glad! :) thank you!
ShantelKarisma i agree with you.. she made it soo exciting and real
ShantelKarisma we have the same transition date. i big chopped today
Me too her hair before was exactly like mine so I am so ready to big chop and also ready to put my hair in a puff
June 13 is my birthday 😂
This hair suits you so well! This makes me want to transition to natural(it's only been a month since my last relaxer and the woman burned me so badly that I am traumatized to ever get another one again). I hope that a year from now I can rock the short hair like you do!
Crystal Pascual Oh no! See.....that scares me so much :/ If you feel ready, don't relax anymore! I bet you'll be able to next year:)
I big chopped today! and I'm so glad I did. It was the best thing I've dine for my hair in a while. I was experiencing breakage and extreme heat damage so my hair didn't look good anymore and I wanted a change. I can't wait to see what my hair will look like a year from today in 2017!
yes that is the best part! healthy hair :) congrats!!
Your hair looks G O R G E O U S and so healthy. I love how excited you were. I am at that point now with my hair too. I've been transitioning only a few months but I'm already looking at the relaxed ends like they should not be there, some foreign thing on my head making my curls act up lol. So I think I will go to a shop and get it cut because I don't trust myself with scissors and my new growth isn't as long as yours is to be able to see. I'm scared but also just so ready for it to happen. Thanks for this video!
Jaliyah Latrell thats exactly how i started to feel toward the end of my transition, it might be time for you! I didn't really trust myself either but i trusted everyone else less haha the shorter length might make it difficult but maybe you can get a couple mirrors? I hope to hear about a chop sometime
chevysway I big chopped on Sunday! I was surprised I didn't cry once. My hands were shaking so bad the first few cuts but after a while it felt kinda exhilarating. I'm still finding little strands here and there and as soon as I see them I cut them off but I did it myself, didn't go to the shop. I had my mom do the back I could not see. I love my curls! I love waking up for work in the morning and it's so easy to get ready and out the door. my co workers liked it, some didn't even notice really because I had been keeping it curled up tight on my head anyways with rollers. My family and friends all loved it and had really positive things to say. I don't regret it for one minute and I really thank you for this video because you made me want to do it and continue my journey natural. Thank you so much!
Thats how I felt too! :) thats so exciting, congrats!
after watching this video multiple times, i finally decided to go through and i big chopped my hair. i was mad scared as i was going through the process but the feeling after was amazing and i felt free. i thank you and your video :)
+Lydia Makel yay!! :) i'm so glad to have helped! Im happy you love it
Your hair looks awesome, I am actually transitioning right now, and my curl pattern is wavy. I just can't wait too see my natural hair and my reaction 😁. But your hair is spot on.
I am 1 year into transitioning and I realized the back of my hair was a lot shorter than my front hair. I am so happy I found this video. Thanks.
Not that it's a big deal, but I'm white, and I've watched 5 Big Chop videos in the last 45 minutes, and yours is the first time I understand what it's all about! The damaged part, the relaxed, permed, flat ironed, dead, dry ends is what you're cutting off! THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME UNDERSTAND! And you're too cute!!
@Angela, aren't these big chop videos addictive? As an AA woman, I am glad YT (and the web in general) is helping the world LEARN about our hair. Unfortunately there is a false narrative about black hair being difficult: it is EASY to manage, products and human beings respecting the beauty of our hair makes the difference. For whatever reason, decision-makers in media, beauty industry, etc, are still dragging their feet in representing AA women, so we are doing it ourselves. (Yet they still want our money). Last, it is a big deal that you are white and have watched 5 Big Chop videos. 👍👍 You are educating yourself; please SHARE SHARE SHARE these vids with other white friends, family, etc. It is exhausting trying to 'teach' the world about 'us.' Plus, who does not enjoy hair and beauty vids? :-)
@@rawbeachqi Exactly, Yes! My bff, also named Angela, has ALWAYS worn wigs, and I never understood why. Well, until I saw her real hair...then I totally got it, she thinks her hair is "difficult! So she didn't have any. Girrrrrrl, she, too this day, still wearing them wigs OUT! Shared this video to my FB, maybe she'll see it.
Congrats! we def have the same hair type and in same areas!! After seeing this video I'm def not ready to BC lol. Im going to keep pushing!
Yeah we might be hair twins :) But thank you and good luck with the rest of your transition journey!
wow can't believe your video hit 41k already! crazy!
It's so crazy! Also you're at 41k subbies! Congrats! :)
Yes! Love how full, thick and soft it looks! Enjoyed seeing you love your natural texture!!
I've been natural for 8 months and I have been considering chopping it after a year or year in a half and gurl your video is what I needed to see. Thank you.
Congratulations on your Big Chop!! WooHoo!!!
Thanks so much! :D
This is my very first time ever watching any of your videos but I'm very proud of you.!! And it was very much needed. You did an awesome job at the process as well. And it looks great on you. Thumbs Up!!
Kaileh Wooten Thank so much :)
way to go girl
thank you! :)
entrega de pizza ???
short hair is WAY better and prettier than long
omg like right when you finished cutting the last bits off, i literally shouted out "IT'S BEAUTIFUL!" lmao like so amazingly pretty
srhawki2 Haha! Thank you so much :)
It looks good, it has a pretty shape just as it is
Elizabeth Salt Thank you! :) people suggest that I style it or shape it and I really don't want to haha I just like the way my hair shapes itself!
No girl. Let it grow out and do its thing. I was shocked because most ppl go to a salon for that cut and your hair simply grows like that. It's beautiful and your confidence makes it even better
Thanks girl
i love your natural hair! you are absolutely gorgeous!
This made me happy to watch and excited to transition myself. I'm glad for you.
Finding Joi I'm glad it helped :) thank you!
I remember when I big chopped...mine was shorter than yours. I cried lol but once it got to your same length I had the same reaction lol.
+Tasha Gregory Haha thats funny, congrats :) crying is good it shows you care!
I took my sew in out yesterday and the same thing happened to my hair in the back. It broke off! I was transitioning for a few months before and I was planning on cutting my hair after graduation. So today I woke up and looked in the mirror and decided it was time to chop my relaxed ends OFF. I finally did it and I feel so happy and free now! I'm so excited that I'm finally a complete natural
+Jadiee yayy!!! congrats!!
chevysway Thanks :)
I teared up a little when you cut the last bit off in the front because it looked like a huge weight was lifted off you. I just decided to go natural but I'm transitioning instead of the big chop. I'm 26 and don't even know what my natural hair looks like. Yours looks beautiful!
Wow.. You've just shown us how to become a queen in minutes. I love it. You look amazing after that!
Tanise Santos You are too sweet
It's so beautiful! Congrats and welcome to the other side! BTW, your fur baby is adorable.
Thank you! :) and oh my goodness I use the term fur baby too
Looks so much healthier! I really like it. Natural is always best. Relaxers, bleach, hair dye, etc. only damages beautiful hair. I learned the hard way myself.
+Amy-Lee Angel Yes girl
"This is kind of what it is." So nice that moment where you feel really happy to be YOU.
Loved this video! Your reaction was amazing. I'm big chopping on the 18th
CaseyIsBYC Thanks! :) I'm excited for you!
Thank you! I actually did a lot yesterday and I couldn't believe I was cutting my hair lol I've been attached to my hair my entire life. However, I wasn't comfortable with cutting all the relaxer on the front so I just left some there
This is really encouraging me to go ahead and cut my hair!!!😁So liberating 😌
The best part of this video for me is looking at you with that beautiful natural hair and no makeup to enhance your beauty. Your face is flawless. Enjoy this journey baby girl.
20 years natural... I still love a big chop video.
+Zee D. aw thats great, I also will re watch this many times haha doesn't get old somehow
I'm 14 and I'm big chopping on Thursday which is the day after tomorrow after I take my braids out and I'm sooooo excited but kind of scared at the same time. I'm going to my cousins house so that she can help with the back. I've been transitioning for almost a year and I just can't deal with the tangles and the matted hair with the permed ends. especially when it was the the school year and my hair was looking a mess lol. wish me luck!
How'd it go?
Ahhh I loved this! Ran across your IG page and had to come check out your big chop video! I big chopped Sept 5th of this year and only transitioned 3 months. It's been a great journey! Can't wait to see your continued journey. New subbie! :)
I'm glad! I abandoned my IG for a little while because I was so busy but I was so glad I still had all my followers :) Congrats on your big chop! I'm excited for where the journey takes us!
I love when women embrace their natural hair!! So empowering and beautiful!!
Girllllll your hair did the same thing my hair did it broke off so bad I just had to cut mine all the way off 😩
Tanesha Perry mine too, I feel like whenever you see a transition cut on TH-cam you see this girl head of long ends and an under-for... I have that on the front and a full fro in the back and some stragglers lol I hit a little over a year going for 2 and I'm keeping it all, the stragglers and styling accordingly. lol congrats on your chop!
Chloe Vassel thanks it's grown so much since I've done it. I keep my hair done to grow it
You are so brave for doing a Big Chop, Your hair is Beautiful! Good luck on your healthy hair journey!
Gena Moore Thanks girl!
she looks like a black 1980s molly ringwald lol. pretty! love the natural hair
LeAnne Nicole Haha I'll take that :) thanks!
Omg I cried for you lmao.I didn't cry because of sadness of anything, I cried because that's got to be the most defining moment of your life.I long to go natural..but my mom believes in relaxers which I disagree with. I'm going to fight fight fight, transition for a while..and do this exact thing.
+Rose Washington it was, such a defining moment! A lot of moms think that way rom conservative only values :/ keep fighting!
Right when he said I'm on top of the world in the song, she cut her hair. Perfect timing +chevysway
i love that part
You're awesome.i love your channel
its so cute short 😺
thank you! :)
Welcome naturalista! It's beautiful.
You had a lot of hair in the front! I can't wait to do the big chop ✂️. You got me excited 😊
Oh man I remember when I stopped processing my hair and everyone told me to chop it off and start fresh! I honestly didn’t feel like doing that so I just used natural products in my hair and let it repair on it own ! Only took me 3 months and now 2 years later I’m fully natural with longer and stronger hair
Girl your reaction was just like mine haha I was just so amazed that my hair is the way that it is! I love seeing my cute little coils!
exactly, still in love 2 years later
The cat was so cute! It looked like it was hugging you xD
Essence Brown Lol he gives hugs
I’m down this rabbit hole and I am not upset. It’s so satisfying watching these
I've just been transitioning since July, but can't believe how fast my hair is growing! I'll be glad when I get to the point where I cut off the permed hair.
+Meela234 It happens so quickly, it flourishes!
I'm 9 months natural. I'll be 10 months sometime in the middle of February 2016. almost a year!! Oh I'm so excited!!!! And I big chopped earlier today. February 1. I have a medium sized afro. My hair will start growing really quickly. I know it! Plus, my hair grows pretty face. I'm 4b and has a little bit of 4a on the bottom, back of my hair. Wish me luck on my journey guys! Oh....i cannot wait till my natural hair is really long. :( I am too inpatient when it comes to things like this. No more PERMS AND DEFINITLY NO MORE WEAVE ! Wish me luck!
*fast
+Mosaic cc Good luck
Im currently nine months 😌 as well. I haven't chopped any hair I want to cut but I want to wait because I've always had long her.
Pretty curls i love natural healthy hair
Chassidy Love Thank you! Me too!
I wanna do the big chop too, eventually. But I want to it when I feel like so much hair has already grown to replace it. Watching your videos literally gave me anxiety, I’m so scared . You go girl, your looks beautiful !!
I just big chopped my hair today and it was definitely weird seeing how short my hair is now. It's shorter than what yours is but so soft and curly; however part of my misses the length but I know that having the relaxed ends gone makes my hair healthier and allows for it to be able to grow out better with less breakage. But I'm mostly likely gonna get braids done and drink biotin and hopefully my hair will grow back out faster
i know the length was the first thing i realized i missed but gained health, buttery juicy curls so worth it!!
You have a very beautiful curly hair, darling! Loved it!
Thaís Emerick thank you
The song was my graduation sing
+Gabi Rees whats the song called?
+xbxnxx “dbdbdn d” bdbhxbdbd On top of the world. I think it's by imagine dragons
thanks
omg me tooo!!!!
+xbxnxx “dbdbdn d” bdbhxbdbd On top of the world by Imagine Dragons
this video is three years old but it was one of the first i watched when i wanted to start transitioning and now I’ve been transitioning for 13 months!
Agggh this is the cutest big chop vid I've seen, and it also came out super cute.
thanks girl :) I was so so happy with it - check out my second big chop!
I really love natural hair and yours looks really amazing :) btw I'm transitioning but my mom doesn't agree. I got box braids about 2 weeks ago for a protective style. My mom doesn't agree with me transitioning becuz she some how thinks I can't 't take care of my natural hair and idk why she thinks that. She keeps saying when I take out my braids that I'm going to get a touch up and get a trim and I keep telling her no I'm not becuz relaxers hurt my scalp.. Like I don't know why I just can't get my hair straightened instead.. That'll be just 6 months without a relaxer down the drain again. Also this is coming from a woman who has depended on relaxers for years and now she's natural and doesn't really know how to take care of it.. I really don't want that to happen to me.. Btw sorry for the long paragraph.
Please reply someone!
No worries! It's fine that its a paragraph. I understand where you're coming from, my mom always thought I was gonna relax throughout my transitioning stage. Other people will always have a different opinion of what works for you than the opinion you have. You just have to go with what feels right to you! I was steadfast in my decision to go natural and if you are too then just prove everyone wrong :)
Your story Is just like mine when I tried to transition the first time I transitioned for a whole year and my mom pressured me to get a relaxer she said that going natural was something I could not handle and I did that was a whole entire year down the drain(wore braids the whole time) then I told myself I'm not going to get another relaxer and somehow my dedication(and I showed her women who embraced there natural hair on TH-cam)to go natural rubbed off of my mom and she big chopped before I ever did she use to always complain about how hard it was and she told me how come I never had the same problems she did being natural and I told her I did I just sticking it out and that being natural was something that I wanted now I'm fully natural and so is my mom we encourage each other and love our natural hair
Lol long story short show your mom that you can take care of your natural hair and love your hair and it will rub off on her encourage her to try new things with her hair as well me & my mom had this fight for years trust me it will all work out 😁😁😁😁
What inspired me to go natural was my daughter. She transitioned for a year, I did her BC and it's been over 2 years she went natural. She's overseas now (in the army)and recently she has twists. She's 20 now. My 6 year old has hair down to the middle of her back and she's natural. When my hair was relaxed it was long, but I don't want my 6 year old to want to get her hair relaxed so I decided to go natural. Both of my girls are my inspirations to want to do it. Now it's been a year and I BC last week 11/11 and I have no regrets. My 6 year old said I look different but at the same time my hair is very thick. My mom and my 23 year old decided to go natural 2 and 3 months later respectively. Now I know so many hairstyles that I tried on my 6 year old and other women hair that are transitioning as well as doing natural hair. I took pics of my work in my iPhone and the women love my work with natural hair and they think I should open up a hair salon since I know so much about natural hair styles. I like it as a hobby. More and more people are positively commenting on my hair. My husband wasn't on board at first with the BC but 3 months after he didn't want me to do the BC, I reached my year and did it. I showed him how much length I have and how thick it is. He was shocked and surprised and he's on board now. Currently I'm still experimenting.
I like the way ur doing it. I'm only 3 months and I really wanna wait for a year at least but the struggle of trying to style it it's crazy. idk. I'm still thinking about it. I don't wanna regret cutting it after a bit.
+Anna M Maybe protective style for a bit to give yourself a break and get more length :)
+chevysway thanks alot foe replying. so I cut it off ×_× now doing alot of braiding and full on weave til I get my desired length to wear it out. thank you again.
+chevysway and BTW I did the same technique u did. was so easy.
thats great, when i see girls grabbing chunks and chopping i get so nervous haha
This is so cute! I love your hair but mostly i just love how much you love it. Amazing! :))
thank you :) i truly am in love with it and this was almost 2 years ago!
Love it. You're a pretty girl and cutting off the relaxed hair made you prettier!!!
Russell Davis Thank you! :)
I was worried to get the big chop, I was upset how short my hair was literally a small afro. Then it started growing so fast! Now my hair length goes down to my chest.
+puma gal™ Thats exactly how I felt! I didn't even realize when the length just hit me lol
+chevysway hi Chevy I'm in the process of transitioning also,its been like 3 or 4 months since I perked....I didn't wanna cut my hair but looks like I'm gonna have to...what can I use on my hair to make it soft?
+Nikki Westwood *** I meant since I permed
Oh, so when black hair gets damaged it just loses its curl?
lalalandhigh It's not quite black people hair, because white people with curls or any race with curly hair can experience this! It's more that chemicals and heat can damage your hair which will inevitably mess up your curl pattern. my hair was relaxed, purposely made straight
And how do you relax hair?
lalalandhigh you buy a relaxer from the store, grease your scalp to protect your skin and apply the relaxer to the roots (the hair closest to your scalp). of course, the smarter thing to do is to pay a professional to do your relaxer. if you go to any beauty supply, or drug store you can read the instructions on the back of any relaxer box.
Any type of curls really...im hispanic and have really curly hair and when damaged i loose my curls just like her...any type/race curls or whatever its the same
Yes! I'm having flashbacks to my moment in my bathroom when I cut off my straight hair. I fell in love and I still am! ❤️😊➰
+SidraAdele aww yay

Hahaha, hey Letitia! Aaaawe, I want some hand wave icons! I'm waving back girl and cryin...man I need a smartphone or some cool free apps something! (-)
kerducky what kinda phone do you have?
Letitia Shallonda Good Morning Letitia! I have a Samsung Slide SGH-477zzzzz's NOT a smartphone!
The crazy thing is a had a free upgrade from AT&T but I had to hand it over to my mom because she washed her phone on accident! But I wasn't surprised she's dropped phones in glasses of Ginger Ale about 3 times before!
kerducky lol! You'll get your upgrade girl!
kerducky oh & check out the video I uploaded on my channel when you get a chance. It was just to see if I could upload from a phone & it worked
I think these types of videos are so empowering. Wearing your hair natural is beautiful! Massive processing isn't necessary. Be proud of your hair :)
+Sarah Campbell thank you
Yes. I know this is an old video but if your hair ain't serving you well. Chop it off. It looks so good.
thank you! :) so true!
... wow. A year transitioning? That must have been hell. Did you wear protective styles or just wear it out?
Your new hair is so cute :)
KettiexD It was really annoying haha I know people who transition for 18-24 months though lol I work buns, twists/flat twists, flexi rod sets, and I protective styled twice for a month each! Thanks for watching :)
I been transitioning for 2 years and 7 month its soo sadd 😰 i cant wait
Addyy13 oh my gosh I'm 2 years 4 months and my hair is past my collarbones so yours is probably much longer. Why don't you cut off the ends?
I could only wait 9 months. One day I was in the bath and said to myslf, right if there are scissors in here then its meant to be...its now 5 years later and im bra strap length
KettiexD my hair is like past my bra strap, i just wasnt readyyy at all but i am now . its the struggle . Goodluckk 😊😊
Is it wierd that I nearly teared up when you got to the front and started chopping it off
+Noëlla Kamolé nope! so many people have told me that!
I'm so happy to have found this channel it's making me keep going through the frustrations of transitioning, thank you!
+Jael Aliana I'm so glad
Relaxers break your hair off if you don't take care of it. You have to make sure you don't put heavy jell in your hair that will break it off. You also have to keep your hair moisturized or it will break off. I remember when I relaxed my hair and failed to moisturize it, next thing I know the front part of my hair broke off, giving me bangs. Luckily the rest didn't break off. That will be the last time I don't moisturize my hair again. I haven't relaxed my hair in over 2 years, and wear my hair natural and the ends of my hair is still very much relaxed. Luckily my hair grows very fast, so I can get my natural hair back, half of it is back already. And the part that was broke off is growing back so fast. I'm never going to relax my hair again. I like my natural better anyway. I just relaxed it for the extra length. I love my natural hair
story of my life!!
very true! relaxed or natural, requires TLC and moisture!
Yes!
You should've just simply used water instead of gel because of the flakiness after the cast brakes since your hair is freshly washed. But otherwise great video😊
Elizabeth Barboña Hmm I always experience flakes with eco styler! my wash and go is water then gel!
