- CORRECTION! I WAS 8 MONTHS POST RELAXER HERE
Now I've been going back and forth on whether I want to continue going natural, and I've finally given up! I'm going back to relaxers and I explain my reasons IN DETAIL and the daily struggles I deal with.
I've also been embarrassingly calculating the months wrong since my journey, so I'm actually 8 months post relaxer here!.. Subtract 1 month from any previous video I mention my post relaxer time

You are absolutely right, it isn't for everybody. Natural isn't for everybody, and relaxed isn't for everybody. I tried to go natural soo many times and it just wouldn't work out for me, so I've just accepted that I prefer relaxed hair. I know how to manage healthy relaxed hair and I enjoy taking care of it. For me, personally, it is less work than when I was natural.
Thank you for being honest and sharing your experience! It think it's important that women see it's okay not to go through with transitioning if you are not enjoying it
thank you so much! yes it really isn't for everybody! and I'm glad you've worked out what's best for you 💕 Yeah I was a little scared to admit I'm giving up but these comments have made me feel so much better so thank youu☺ xxx
Yes because of the way male hormones can affect the softness of hair, you might have a coarser texture 😁
Pretty sure natural is for everybody, by definition
I'm excited to watch us ladies relax our hair. Relaxed hair can be healthy, and beautiful! Do what's best for us.💞
I'm excited too! and yes you're very right 😁💕
Lies!

✨I relaxed after 7 years. Best decision. No more detangling & no more shrinkage. I've got shine & she blows in the wind looking like a whole hair commercial. I've mastered the Moisture Protein balance & my hair truly is healthier than ever.
Oh wow I'm happy for you and thank you for sharing! 😁 These comments really do encourage me ! Can't wait to join you x
@@nucchi ♥️😁👍🏽
I was dddeadddd when you said “looking like a whole hair commercial!”🤣🤣🤣 Get it sis!!!
Agreed. Same experience.
@@marcib6767 😁😂💗
I agree with you 1000000%! I transitioned and after 3 years of going to salons and spending tons of money on getting my hair washed conditioned and treated (because I hated doing it myself) I went back to the relaxer anddddd I love it! And yes you can definitely have HEALTHY RELAXED HAIR!
awww this comment is really making me feel so much better about my decision! 💕 it really just seems like so much work 😭 I'm glad you're loving your relaxed hair! healthy relaxed hair needs more recognition! xx
Thank for making a very, very honest video. Some of us are not honest about their hair texture and density. Some also rave about going natural but your protective styling with weaves, wigs and honestly we all can’t afford to purchase extra hair or salon visits monthly to get your hair done. I see many naturals with extremely long hair but sis your hair texture and genetics play a big role in her hair type and growth. Overall it’s hair a black woman invented the Relaxer and we’ve been ironing, pressing now flatiron our hair to make it straight since my ancestors. Get over it and do what you want with your hair as long as your happy 😆
Thanks so much for this comment! 💕I really did need to hear this and yes you're right just do whatever you want with your hair haha! thanks again xx
It was actually a black man named Garrett Augustus Morgan who invented the relaxer, but yeah still a black person
Before I went natural, I stretched my relaxers for about 12 weeks. At the time I wanted to figure out how to take care both textures because of breakage. That's when I discovered transitioning on TH-cam. My inspiration was Nina Pruitt. It took me about three months to make the decision. I transitioned for 17 months and waited under I was able to put my hair in a ponytail for work. I cut about 17" of hair off because it was becoming overwhelming and too stressful to manage. I've been natural for 10 years now. It's a big decision and I understand you definitely have to be ready for the journey. It can be very taxing until you get use to the routine and epic hairstyle failures. All I can say is doing what makes you happy is first and everything else is second. Be your best self!!!❤❤
I have been doing loads of thinking and reading comments like yours since posting this video and I've been motivated to keep on going and I'm feeling a lot happier 😁🙈 Thank you so much for sharing and I'll check out Nina Pruitt! I'll post a new update video this week xx
I can relate - I went from 30 years of relaxer to sisterlocks.
I wanted to be natural but knew I did not want to spend forever on wash day or any other day dealing with my hair.
I wanted maximum versatility, healthy, easy, natural, aesthetically pleasing hair and thank goodness I found something that works for me.
It all about doing what works for you.
Thanks so much for sharing! This is exactly how I feel. I'm glad you found a happy medium that works for you 😁I have heard of 'texture release' which could be a happy medium for me, but I don't know enough about it x
After 6 years of natural relaxed just before lock down and it was the best thing for me. I did like my natural hair but as the years went by the maintenance was getting to me. Wash days took a whole day with detangling plus the shrinkage was real. This lead me to keeping my hair under wigs which then didn’t allow me to enjoy my hair as I couldn’t be asked to have my hair out. At least I got to know my natural hair but Yh girl wasn’t for me and not going back x
ughh that's scary to know it still took you a whole day to wash even whilst being completely natural 😭 the good thing is you tried! and you know it wasn't for you... it's gonna eat me up until I at least try being fully natural ONCE. So sometime in the future I'll try it and go back to relaxer like yourself if it doesn't work for me. Glad you're enjoying being relaxed though 😁 I can't wait to start making relaxed hair care videos xx
I know thanks to your recently videos that you decide to continue, but girl I totally agree with everything that you said, I have 4 type hair (mostly 4b), high density, extremely thick hair and a decent length and it’s so hard styling and my wash days are a nightmare. I’ve been thinking about quit and going back to relaxer when my hair was easy to manage and looking good and healthy (but for the better of the worst we are a caught in this pandemic so I’m not going out that much so I thought to give it a try) so for the last 6 months I’ve been in this roller coaster I hope I could stay strong to watch the results at the end of my process :(
Honestly girl I've gone so far into the process now and it really is an emotional rollercoaster!! just the other day I was getting anxiety over my hair and started to miss my relaxed hair again 😭 I was really thinking WHY DID I START DOING THIS haha.. buttt it's just part of the journey and I'm determined to see it through to the end. I think with the pandemic this is the best time to just try because we're not really going anywhere and salons keep closing and reopening. Do keep pushing through with me! I feel at the end of the journey there's a different sense of self love and freedom we're gonna feel, even if not immediately! it'll be nice to just experience being completely natural, then if we don't like the additional work that comes with it we can always go back 😊 Keep strong!! you got this xxx
No explanation or debate is necessary! It is your choice and what others think is unimportant- always remember that and your life will blossom 🌸.
Thank you so much! Needed to hear this 👏🏾
Girl, you have beautiful hair. And you don't owe anybody an explanation. If anybody has a problem with you relaxing the hair on YOUR head, then they can be mad and stay mad.
Thank you girl! 💕 and 😂😂it's so true, it's MY head haha
I’m in full agreement with you! I’m almost 5 months in transition with 4c hair and I just decided today, I’m going back to the creamy crack this weekend! It takes me 5 hours on a wash day and I can’t find any edge control that will lay this stuff down. I’m over it! All the money I invested in natural products and edge control! Ugghh
I went back to relaxer too after 2 years no regrets,! I was getting to much breakage!
Yeah I hear natural hair is a lot harder to manage and care for so I can imagine 🙈 glad you've found what works best for you xxx
I big chopped back in August or September of 2020, and your absolutely right it isn’t easy, I went back relaxed after about 3 months because i didn’t see much growth, I’m now transitioning once again. Woman and bashed everyday because they relax there hair, but what people don’t understand is that it isn’t easy. You had a good bit of growth but still a long way to go. I really hope you are happy with your relaxed hair! God bless😄🥰 .
I ended up pushing through and went natural!! I even shocked myself 😩 you can watch my big chop here 😁>> th-cam.com/video/6Nm_I8MibW8/w-d-xo.html I'm glad you decided to transition again because even though it was a really tough journey, it was worth it! All the best with your transitioning journey xx
I’ve been natural twice in my life lol and tbh I love been relaxed NATURAL IS NOT FOR EVERYONE DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY ✨
I came from the future and I'm here to tell you that you did not give up on your natural hair journey, you succeeded (are now fully natural) and doing an amazing job! Lots of love from Angola❤
Aww this is too sweet thank you so much!! You are absolutely amazing 🤗💖
I totally agree, I'm only about 17 weeks out. I worked really hard and long to get my hair long. It's about the length of yours. I am not going to go natural now and cut it off. Transitioning is way to hard and stressful. Making my appointment tomorrow. Your video convinced me.
Thank you
I made this video a long time ago and can tell you the feelings definitely pass, you’ve just got to push through 😭 I’m completely Natural now and it was best decision ever! I love my hair now. Plus the length comes back quicker than you realise xx
My hair is just like yours! I haven’t gotten a relaxer in a year because of the corona virus and I have a TON of new growth. I’m finally getting a relaxer tomorrow and I’m so excited. I’m so excited to not want to cry every time I have to deal with my hair.
I actually ended up changing my entire mindset from this video and pushed through all the way to natural! I always think everyone should just do what feels right to them so if the relaxer is what you prefer then go for it 😁
you gave me hope. I'm going back to my relaxed hair natural is not for everybody indeed
yes girl! Definitely do whatever feels right for you! 💕I actually ended up continuing the journey but if I don't enjoy being natural I'm happy to go back to relaxer too! But right now I've decided to stick it through and experience being natural at least once! Hope you enjoy whatever choice you make 😁
Because my hair was slightly past my shoulders, it took me three long years to transition fully. I think my pattern is 4A and fine , so much of the frustration you described I experienced.
I’m a straight natural, but still I sometimes desire the easy, time-saving relaxer.
You’re beautiful regardless! Each of us should do what we want with our hair and support each other’s decisions.😊
Thanks so much for sharing your experience 💕and well done for managing to transition fully! I notice most people end up big chopping because it's so hard to manage the 2 textures😅
I have recently found out about 'straight naturals' and I'm thinking maybe it could be an alternative! So that I can keep on trying to go natural
Thank you 💕 and thank you for your support! you're right we should all do what we want with our hair 😁
Thanks for posting this, I am in the same boat. After 9 months of transitioning, it's just overwhelming. It takes too much time and does not fit my lifestyle.
Girl I was STRUGGLING!! I'm not sure if you've seen my newer videos but I got a treatment done called a texture release and it's completely changed my transitioning experience! 😍 I can wash and style my hair super quickly now, so I'm sticking to my natural hair journey... if you still want to transition I'd recommend trying it! it'll help you so much!!
This is the video showing the results :) th-cam.com/video/kn9trpRmfXg/w-d-xo.html
Me too I can't do it...My hair is VERY COARSE AND THICK I WOULD SAY A 4C..AND. I WAS READY FOR ALL OF THIS WORK
I've actually since gone all the way and big chopped! I totally changed my mindset from this video and it's not as bad as I thought it would be! It was challenging but I done it and I'm really happy with it 😁
I tried transitioning in 2017 and lasted 9 months also, I was so over it. It is not for everyone.
New subscriber I love how your honest and your not tryna impress the natural community 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you so much!! 😁
Congratulations on your journey. I have been natural for over 10 years. I completely understand the commitment for natural or relaxed. I decided to go natural because I was tired of various hairstylist over processing my hair. I’m more attracted to having healthier hair natural or relax does not matter much to me especially now. I’m more interested in simply healthy hair. Like you, I will probably go back to being relaxed soon. However, I am just mentally preparing for that journey. Thanks again for the video.
Yes it's all about the health! I'm sure you've picked up some great tips to have healthy hair along the way, so even if you decide to relax i know it'll still be healthy 😁Good luck on whatever choice you make and thanks for commenting 💕x
It was honestly found it interesting to watch you talking (insert laughing emojis) because I used to follow you on IG, and so I only know your photos side of life. I was actually excited when I saw this on my recommendation list, I did not even know you had a YT channel. I am glad you're going back to relaxer!
Awww that's so sweet 💖 hopefully putting a voice to the face didn't disappoint haha... ahh unfortunately I changed my mind again lol 🙃 so I'm continuing with the natural hair journey.. I have a video about that too! However I've just done a treatment called a texture release which actually made my hair look and feel relaxed and will be posting that video tonight 😁x
I always think about going back to relaxer but my hair is so extremely healthy now that it makes me nervous, I'm not sure I'm brave enough😂
Lucky You. Michelle what are some of the things you do in your hair care regimen that helped you to achieve your Healthy Hair ?
@@stephanierembert6221 realizing that my low porosity hair love protein free products was the biggest thing, I wash and deep condition every 8-10 days, I moisturize and seal every other night and I do a protein treatment every 5 weeks. As I Am, Miche and Mielle are the main brands I use.
@@michelleelizabeth797 Thanks U So Much for Your Response.
@@stephanierembert6221 you're welcome
Haha yes if I had spent a long time growing healthy natural hair I wouldn't be brave enough either 😅But it's really great your hair is in amazing shape! I say keep on going, no point risking ruining all your hard work. But ultimately it's your hair and choice 😉x
You’re absolutely right,natural hair is not for everyone.Im personally have a hard time with my hair there’s time were I think something to go back to relaxer. But do what you think is best for you. Because you’re the one who knows for your going through.🥰
Thank you so much 💕yes you're right! 😁x
This was very interesting to me, thank you. I do believe that keeping away from chemical straightening methods is healthier for us. However as a high density + fine strands lady I have not experienced what you are going through and I respect your decision for yourself. I know that some people are able to maintain long & thick relaxed hair. Natural hair maintenance and styling can take a while to get used to and everybody is not ready yet. Stay safe
You know what I definitely agree chemicals aren't the healthiest 🙈 but yep you're right it's very possible to grow healthy relaxed hair! I do hope I can get ready soon because I'd love to experience being fully natural one day! Thanks so much for commenting 😁
You’re so pretty (I love your brows) and good at braiding. I’m currently transitioning and I recently understood why my detangling doesn’t go as well as someone who has short hair. I grew my hair out from a bob (now boob length) before deciding to transition, I just don’t feel like getting relaxed anymore and like you would want to be natural eventually anyway. I’m also timing it so that I cut it a bit before I start law school and so that I’ll be able to have short hair for a bit (I plan on transitioning for 9 or 10 months). It took me over three hours to detangle my hair last time I washed it because despite my detangling efforts my hair matted up once water touched it. I also have very thick hair, that everyone who has ever done it has commented on, which doesn’t help. The only thing that’s changed for me is that I’m not gonna transition for a year, like a I previously planned. I would cut it now but...the way my head shape is set up I think I’d look terrible lol. Part of me wants to do a “mini chop” but most of my protective styles that I like to do involve length so I’ll probably just stick it out, 5 months to go. Good luck to you! Hope you’re able to get your hair done soon so you don’t get breakage from stretching so long
Thank you 🙈💖sounds like we have similar hair and are going through the same emotions with it! I love the fact you're confident in rocking a shorter hairstyle after being so used to longer hair.. It'll look great and good luck on your journey!! I've finally got an appointment but it's in 4 weeks, i wish it were sooner. Thanks for commenting x
Love this video xx
omg she said exactly everything I am experiencing right now. I have decided to do relax hair. I just can’t take it anymore. Lol.
I understand you completely!! I know feeling 😖 I must say though that I changed my mind after making this video and have been actually enjoying the process now!! I do think if you can push through what you're feeling now you'll be able to do it.. but no pressure of course! if relaxing is what you feel you want to do that's also great 😊💖 I made this video which has a few tips th-cam.com/video/9CS2wA2IRcg/w-d-xo.html xxx
@@nucchi since making that comment, I have changed my mind. 🤷🏽♀️may change my mind tomorrow who know. Sigh
@@sg5720 haha yes this is literally how it goes!! I've changed my mind so many times during this journey, it's really a rollercoaster!! Keep pushing through and I'm sure you can do it! xxx
@@nucchi until tomorrow when I get annoyed with my curls and decide to flat iron it or... you know. Lol
@@sg5720 😂😂😂
Lol I just watched your video about you going natural, do what’s best for you and makes you feel the best💖
Thank you! I actually ended up going all the way and big chopping! 😁
It's been two years since I've relaxed and my relaxed ends are almost butt length. I'm watching this as I've decided to go back to relaxer but I'm worried it's been so long my relaxed ends might break off in the process. Still gonna give it a go!
Having 4C hair is just the hardest pattern to deal with. The comb does not just run through your hair, you get a million single stand knots and you need moisture and to stretch it 24/7. It’s a full time job. Right now all I do are protective styles.
Ah yes it's really hard work! I'm currently wearing protective styles too 😩
FYI fine hair doesn't mean less hair, that deals with density, it means smaller size, circumference, of the individual strands
Small tip on detangling, condition, and brush/comb from the tip to the root. This will speed up the process
Thanks for this so true. I'm stretching and it's hell. Now I won't feel guilty if I give up. 4c thick hair it's harder x
Yes it's most definitely harder with 4C hair! 😫 however I ended up pushing through and learning new things to do to manage my hair, and I've just big chopped! I feel great about it too! ☺ if you don't feel ready to continue and want to relax that's okay too, but from the amazing feeling I feel right now I can't help but want to encourage you to keep going because I want everyone to experience this feeling! 💖 I have loads of videos that will help if you need it. Good luck girl and just remember if I could do it, anyone can! xxx
@@nucchi thanks so much. I'll keep going for now in braids x ❤
I’m going through exactly what you are saying. I am 7 month post relaxer. I tried… I have very tight and thick coiled hair. I don’t think going natural is for me at the moment. Especially since I’m not interested in the big chop. I love my hair length. To each is own and I am going back to the relaxer. 6:32
Look at you living your best life! You don't need to explain your transition to any body..
💕 enjoy it!
So true! Thank you for your comment 😁💕
Thank you for this video. I am going through the same thing. Natural is not for smile. It’s too time consuming and I too did not want to do the big chop. So I have chosen to go back to my relaxed healthy hair
I totally feel you. Natural hair isn't for everyone. Especially since I don't have a hairdresser who can press my hair every two weeks like when I was coming up. At times im "lazy about the head" & natural hair will have me in a rut doing it by myself. By my hair being relaxed I can make a ponytail pretty easy. I can't do hair real good anyways so trying to maintain it in it's natural state will have my hair looking real bad. So enjoy your relaxed hair it's yours to do it how you want too.
As someone with type 4 thiccc 20 inch hair, I can candidly tell you it took me 1 hour to wash and detangle my hair. I think that, rather than some hair profiles having "easier" hair than others, it's seriously only technique and decisions. I'd seriously encourage you to try and learn your hair when it's relaxed, then texlaxed, then transitioned because even when I was fully relaxed it took me the same amount of time as it does now.
Of course, you can maintain thick hair while relaxed and enjoy the look but it's never JUST hair, you know? There's a different kind of pride in being able to see your hair in as natural a state as it can be, and see it flourish, to do those afro styles that the world still doesn't seem to accept as the norm and to challenge what black beauty is.
When you're ready to transition again i encourage you to watch youtubers with a similar hair profile to yours to help you on your journey because then you'll feel better encouraged and more equipped to go natural and you might enjoy the process like i am :)
@JONES I don't mean to gaslight her at alllll. That's a really dangerous term to label my comment. She said herself she just didn't try and I'm telling her that she should give it another go while accepting the short comings and overcoming them. Every time I sit in a chair or have someone handle my wash day, they complain that it's too much to handle and take hours to get it done. When I do my hair it isn't in dread WHATSOEVER because I took the time to grow it out relaxed and then maintain it in transition. Why can't I encourage her to try again using this method? If someone didn't give me the same advice I wouldn't know as much as I do now. I think women can do whatever they want with their hair but I don't want her to have to say she can't live with natural hair.
I watched the whole video without prejudice, and I completely understand what she's saying, that's why I think that she'll have a successful transition if she goes about it with a different intention
JONES well said! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I agree
@@TheVeritasForYou It's her hair. She can do whatever feels comfortable. As an African born and raised in Africa, I don't feel the need to prove my blackness to anyone through my hair. So, it's just hair. We don't have to make a political statement out of it.
@@faithumukoro2787 firstly, please don't take my comment as me yelling at her to do want i want. of course she can do whatever she wants with her hair and i'm not saying otherwise. Just because I'm encouraging her to try again doesn't mean you can misconstrue my words as though i'm putting her on the chopping block...
Second, as a fellow african, i also realize that africans don't have the same experience of systemic racism as black americans do and yet can still be effected by it soooo, yeah. It's not about proving your blackness
oh my god i needed to hear this…
Oh no! I almost want to delete this video haha 😂 they were my thoughts and emotions at the time.. but the pandemic forced me to keep going with the natural journey. I made it all the way, big chopped and everything and now I’m SO HAPPY. It’s the best decision I ever made to my hair so I really don’t want this video to convince anyone not to try 😅 keep watching my other videos that I made after this!
Im 9 months post relaxer. I hear you! I'm ready to relax now!
how nice to hear someone in the exact same position as me! 😅transitioning with long or thick hair is no joke!! I wish I knew that haha
I give up too. Tried being natural and I just can’t handle it and it’s costing me too much time and money. Relaxing my hair again soon. I don’t wear braids and wigs and miss my wrap and big curls!
Great video !!
Thank you 😁 Glad you enjoyed it!
As a former 4c natural your wash day wasn’t going to get much shorter 😂😂
Doll! 6 years natural getting my hair relaxed and I dont care! I actually heard of keratin treatment as alternative did you look into that?!
haha I love your conviction! go girl 😁 and yes funny you ask because I've decided to try that before I get my hair relaxed x
@@nucchi I got it done! Shout out to @thekhelifrenchexperience! Only thing I'm worried about is when it gets wet because want to limit pressing it. But my stylist said it shouldn't frizz fingers crossed! Wither way still better than spending hours detangling and combing my hair! I'm free girl I'm FREE! LOL
@@realijeomalove oh really! and you feel it wasn't a good enough replacement for relaxer? If it doesn't work for me I'll relax too
@@nucchi well I have yet to see girl. If it gets wet and fizzes up like crazy to point where I have to keep re-straightening it then I'm gonna have to go to go with relaxer. Please let me know how your experience is with humidity and water too!
I hope you eventually got an actual detangling brush because the Denman is a styling brush. Not a detangling brush.
This is exactly how I feel. My hair is MBL and I’m a year into my transition. It can be frustrating.
Yep when I recorded this video I was completely over it haha! But a couple months later I got some motivation and I'm back on track. I made an update video here if you're interested ☺️ >>> th-cam.com/video/9CS2wA2IRcg/w-d-xo.html
I am so ready,to relax waiting on 5 years natural, which will be July 2021
If that feels right to you then go for it ! 😁After this video, I decided to continue transitioning to natural... but I have nothing against relaxer i think its great! Whatever works for you xx
I'm transitioning and I'm scared that when it's time to do the big chop I'll chicken out. .for one I'll be imagining how long my hair will be if I just relax it. ..I'll see how long l can keep transitioning. .it's a stressful journey..
Aww I definitely understand where you're coming from😓.. the whole journey has been an emotional rollercoaster! I've actually since decided to stick with being natural and now no longer scared :) you should watch this video to see what made me more confident to keep going! th-cam.com/video/9CS2wA2IRcg/w-d-xo.html wishing you luck 😊💖
....... Natural hair is lovely however for me it was just the natural hair care processes...the pain on the scalp😢 I couldn't bare it anymore... I had to revert back to relaxer...
I went natural in June of 2018 and I absolutely haven’t reaped any benefits from being natural. It’s actually been a nightmare, I can’t do anything with it. 😫
WOW this isn't what I want to hear 😭😭 since this video I actually decided to continue with the natural hair journey and recently been getting anxiety over it!! do you think you'll go back to relaxer then??
@@nucchi I actually am planning to go back to relaxed hair. Your hair is much longer than mine was when I did the big chop. I can only tell you that your results may be different from mine. I can tell you my experience is that i couldn’t do anything with it, I have knots in my hair which caused me to have breakage from trying to get them out. I thought it would make my hair thicker but it didn’t. In my opinion it’s actually harder to maintain than relaxed hair. I’ve spent so much money on products only to find non of them worked. It just isn’t for me but I think you should do what you think is best for you and what you can deal with. 🥰
I’m currently 8 months post and transitioning. Wondering if I wanna be texlaxed, my hair doesn’t take as long as you said yours does but I just don’t like shrinkage, idk what I want to do yet
I think I really didn't know how to handle the 2 textures here which is why it was taking so long, every wash day my hair would be a tangled matted mess.. but now I've learnt how to deal with it better and it's a lot faster. One thing that hasn't changed though is my hatred for shrinkage too 😭 I'd advise to just go natural If you can so you can experience it, then If you don't like it you can always texlax it xx
@@nucchi yea your right, I’ve been relaxed my whole life so I’m just gonna hang in there and see what the natural life is about 😂
I always have type 4 hair and its very thick and it wasn't super short. The transition was very difficult to say the least. I was able to transition for about 1.5 yrs before big chopping. Its your hair do what's best for you! 12 hours wash day , you must have strong arms😅 it's definitely a journey with hair.
Yes girl it's very difficult! Good on you for big chopping! Yes it's a really hard journey 😩 I've decided to try a keratin treatment before I relax now so let's see how that goes 😁
I’m going back to it’s been 8 months and I just can’t do it my hair is thick it was long been cut some it’s still little passed my shoulders
I agree with you. I have thick 4c hair like u and the only way i could keep my natural was to big chop. It was easy for me to transition because i grew up chopping my hair is. Even now w years in my natural journey and its crazy hard sometimes. What i do is i deep condition before washing my hair except when i use clay. This method has saved me so much time and i am happy.
The natural community can be very toxic✌🏿
Yes so difficult! I did however decide to stick with the natural journey after this vid. I've just got something called a texture release which has been great so far to not have to deal with the two textures. Ooo that sounds like a good idea! deep conditioning first, I'll give that a try thank you😁 💖💖
My biggest mistake was being relaxed straight. I prefer texture. I am transitioning from relaxed to texlaxed. That works better for me.
Oh most definitely. I was definitely more on the “texlaxed” side as I never relaxed bone straight
We have the same hair type and i transitioned, it was the hardest time of my life so i decided to just big chop I HATED IT so i started wearing a lot of protective styles such as braids, wigs and weave until my hair grew longer after a year and i decided to wear my hair out
Ah you felt my pain haha. Yes I think out hair type is seriously difficult to transition with! awww I'm happy you were able to big chop! Hope you're enjoying your natural hair now 😁
Great video sending love from a relaxed hair youTuber 😊
Omg..
I recently made exactly the same type of video..
I just relaxed my 8 months old transitioning hair..
I really loved the video..u can check it out if u want..
Ahh yes I definitely understand the feeling and why you went back to relaxer!! hope you're enjoying your hair now ☺💖 I actually decided to keep transitioning after making this video and I feel a lot better about it! xxx
@@nucchi Yh..but I actually didn't give up or got tired of it..
My video gat the reasons..
Thanks b💝.
But I really miss those curls😭😂
Yes it’s not for everyone I’m natural short tapered cut r I’ve always worn my hair short when relaxed and I’m getting tired to ready to relax ....but I’m a person who do what I feel I’ll big chop wear it natural for about a year then I’ll relax it lol....it’s just hair some people take the whole natural movement too serious 😂. DO YOU BOO
yes I love this energy!! 😂 I need to be more like you.. but I think I'm getting there haha
You supposed to comb your hair from the bottom to top not top to bottom ❤️
Not a hate comment but I personally don't think relaxed hair is healthy because you're using a harmful chemical to destroy the hydrosulfate bonds in your hair. So no matter how long or thick or moisturised it is I don't think its healthy because you damaged the natural state of your hair. Again its all up to you and what you prefer but as for me I'm transitioning and I'm not going back and I had what you call "healthy relaxed hair". I definitely understand the struggle and why but not for me.
New subbie tho..😍
yayyy glad to have you ☺💖💖💖

Fine doesn’t mean less.
Bc my hair strands are fine but my hair isn’t thin at all .
12 hours is wild
Well Ima skip to the end
Thank you. I also have 4c/d hair and couldn’t big chop and after trying to transition for 2 years, I was like ‘nah, let me get it relaxed’. I’m happy and my hair dresser is very knowledgeable and gives me healthy relaxed hair.
yep as long as you have a good stylist and take care of your hair it can defo be healthy and relaxed 😁 I actually ended up big chopping and I'm completely natural now!
You have to be patience with 4 type hair especially if you have coarse hair and thick hair. And 3a.b.c sisters have easy time doing there hair
Its takes in 5 hours to cornrow my 4b hair ,its hard work
