Hey Transitioners & Future Transitioners 💕 Just wanted to link my new transitioning series in case you have any more questions on how to go natural: czcams.com/play/PLO0lVgZxRRnlC8UyWBZ1qRdNh6nf9or1M.html 💖
Thank god for CZcams because now when we have our babies we will know how to look after our children hair and embrace their natural textures so sad that some parents didn't have this same resources
Molly Delfuego Ah yes I agree! My mother sure didn't. When I was born in 2004. Then by the time I was 3, there wasn't really any videos about what to do with natural hair and what it, then decided to perm it. Now I'm currently trying to transition, I did the big chop and I get bullied for it but it's all fine because when I get my hair back they'll wish they were me! Haha
Molly Delfuego yes I wish it was like this when I was young I'm currently trying to get my hair back to its normal texture because my mom kinda messed up my hair also by straightening it and constantly giving me relaxers
My daughter is Mexican with black and my ignorance I ended putting a relaxer on her hair. I only did it twice when she was 2 but now she is 6 and her hair is getting better and healthy. So don't be upset with your mom some times we just don't have guidance. 😔😔 also I am here to learn how to keep her hair healthy so when she gets older she will have the healthiest hair and don't blame me.
+Miriam Aguilar I can't imagine what it was like for her to try to care for my hair before having CZcams and blogs for guidance so I know she was doing her best! That's awesome you're looking for resources, as long as you keep chemicals away and heat off her hair (as much as possible) she'll be in great shape! Keep the pictures of her transitioning hair to show her when she asks you for a flat iron because at some point we all want to play around with heat!
Wow, glad you stopped. 2 years old that breaks my heart. Good on you for researching alternatives. Though I think in 2015, 4 years ago, natural haircare was really popular
+oldsoul thank you! 💕 Starting the journey while I was new in my career was a little nerve racking but at the end of the day we all have the right to embrace ourselves at any stage in life 😊
I am going natural becuz I want my hair longer and healthier. The reason why I always got a perm and relaxers because I go to a school with mostly white people. I just wanted to fit in cause everyone has straight hair. I am more confident now with embracing my culture and hair. that's why I want to go natural.
Same girly! I'm 14 and now in the 9th grade. And I feel more confident about my hair texture now.😊. And I wanted to fit in with the white girls to. Then my 9th grade year (Which is this year.) I'm going natural. Hope it works out for you!😘♥️
I’m 13 about to turn 14 in a month, I’m in 8th grade. I have relaxed hair, I’ve been getting relaxers since I was 5. The only reason I wanted one was to look like my mom because she always had a relaxer. I’ve never experienced my natural hair and I hated it when I was a toddler but now I’m in love with curls and I want to go on a hair journey going natural because I want to experience my true hair.
We have the same hair journey! My mom started relaxing my hair when I was 3, and I am now transitioning and learning so much about my curls! I can't wait to see it's growth ! thanks for your videos!!
I got my hair relaxed at 5, I’m 13 now. I want to go natural so bad so I’m doing it now. My hair is relaxed currently and it stops at my mid back. I’m also tired of always feeling bound to have to get a relaxed to make my hair look presentable. So, I wanna change. I want to transition for my mental state, spiritual state, and physical state.
Usually when people go natural what persons usually do is mix olive and coconut oil together and braid it into your hair and leave it on for a full 24 hours. (It must be totally submersed in it) the next day, your curls would be on POINT.
Your hair grows really fast haha. I've been growing my hair for 8 months and it's only 5/6 inches. You've been growing it for 14 months and it's neck length without stretch😭 I'm jealous
+Curly Jawsh that's great growth for 8 months! Luckily my new growth wasn't too damaged from my first start two years so I had an extra years worth of pretty ok hair to work with but that last 14 months made all the difference! Just keep going and in another year you'll be doing all the hair flips 💁🏽😊
I will RARELY watch a full video, but you had me entranced with your story and your hair journey. Our journeys are paralleled in so many ways; my devil is bleaching and coloring. But you give hope that it is possible to be completely natural! Thank you for your words
I've been 5 months no heat and I truly appreciate this video. It's given me so much motivation to keep moving forward with this journey and some tips! Thank you so much! ❤
Famous last words! Lol. I went to a salon where the woman said she's worked with "ethnic" hair. I should have run for the hills but I was really young and wanted to fit in with everyone else. So happy I finally went natural!
your hair is so gorgeous! currently 3 months into my transition. threw away my straightener and have gone 100% natural. ive never been able to get past shoulder length and finally my hair is so long!! ive been using jamacan black castor oil so thats helped alot!!
When I was from 1-6 my hair was this golden gorgeous color, wavy and curly.. but then my mom didn’t know how to care for it and it got damaged along the way.. so I started straightening from 12 years old to 16. Luckily I didn’t straighten everyday, only on Sundays the day before school so my hair wasn’t severely damaged. And now I’ve come to love curly hair and have had it natural for 1 year now. Best decision ever! I love and am in love with my curls :)
Thank you!! You're the first youtuber to actually give a real life transition and advice, I've been so lost and confused on my journey and this video helped alot
This really helped me out. Im transitioning my hear damage and the front part is driving me so insane i almost feel like giving up sometimes. Thats why i keep on looking for other peoples experience even though everyone has a different journey. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
I've been transitioning for over 5 months and it's like my hair will not keep moisture and I'm getting frustrated because I feel like I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what to do..
Jay C. either your hair is getting used to your moisturizer, or whatever you're using to seal is not strong enough ! You should also check out and see what hair porosity you have and if that may have something to do with it
avionmember101 Thanks this helps put things in perspective but I really don't seal I'm not sure what I'm doing. I wash it then I braid it with hair and wrap lotion.
Jay C. I think you should definitely invest in a moisturizer and sealant! My reccomendation for a moisturizer is Cantu coconut curling cream or Shea moisture jamaican black castor oil styling lotion. You can get either of those at target or walgreens. For a sealant, you should try any bottle of oils that you can find at the same places. Hope this helps!
Thanks for the video. I tried transitioning but I really got tired of the 2 textures and I did the big chop. I wish that I knew of your video before but it's all good. Shrinkage is sooooo real but I'm loving my TWA. I sometimes struggle with styling and still trying to find what works but lastly I love being natural.
+Caramel Mocha I love TWAs 🤗 Shrinkage is very real but if you ever want to mix it up and stretch it for a different kind of curl pattern, there are so many sizes of perm rods you can play with! Short hair has great versatility, you just have to play with it a bit 😊
Amina Marie Thank you so much for your comment. As I'm writing this, I'm listening to your video again. I went thru alot of what you experienced growing up perm failures/burnouts/thinning city. So I don't trust salons for those reasons. If I mess up, I can't get mad with anyone. Anyway you said that you have a blog post so I'm going to see if your TWA tips are there & learn. I'm also shocked that my hair would curl. I was told to do finger coils for a year to train my hair. I do coils during the week. I'm still trying to perfect wash n gos on the weekend, lol. I have perm rods but I think that they're too small. But I'll look at your perm rods video. I am just wondering as it grows if my curls/coils would loosen because they're tight and not like I thought they would. So thanks for being a listener. If you have any other tips please don't hesitate to let me know. Happy Holidays to you and your family
Cookie Monster LOL isn't it awful that you don't get the goods before you do the deed. However, as the days go by I'm ok because I see growth :). So all the words of wisdom I read about, hear on CZcams and now believe that..to have patience!! Happy days to you because I'll never go back to the chemicals.
I'm so glad I found your videos!! I've made the decision to go all natural and get my curls back! For about 7 years I've flat ironed my hair weekly (not good for my curls). Now I'm starting to go through the transition to natural curls. I'm just at the beginning, day 4, but with your progress I know I can get the results I want, which is my natural curls. Thanks for posting your truth about the struggle in transitioning and being real!
this is the first video I’ve watched of you and probably the sixth video I’ve watched on how i would begin the process of transitioning. Yours was the most helpful! 👩🏾🦱
You are very pretty & I love your hair. I'm very much inspired. I'm 6 mm months post relaxer & so excited about this transitioning natural journey. I'm wearing protective styles but I'm definitely gonna try the perm rods out. I love your channel keep the advice coming ☺
I think this was the push that I needed. I straighten my hair all the time and I hate how it looks when it's curly because it's so heat damaged. My curly hair looks exactly like how your did when you started transitioning curly at the roots and then like four inches of straight hair at the ends. I am definitely going to start my natural hair journey very soon. Thank you so much for this video! You're amazing!
thank you! i’ve been wanting to start my journey for a while now and this motivated me to get started. my hair also has heat damage and i was afraid of doing “the big chop”. you inspired me to start my transition and i have faith that i can get to my natural stage! thank you
hey this is exactly what is happening to my hair i am 12 years old and my hair is extremely hard to manage i relax my hair a lot and my hair is breaking
I have the same problem at the top of my head. I have to help the curls by adding a gel and twisting it. I believe it's an elasticity issue. I'm currently 1 year and almost 4 months post relaxer. I'm definitely going to try the flexi rods and perm rods. Practice makes perfect because I cannot do hair to save my life! I just learned how to flat twist. 😬🙌🏼
I think this is the first time Ive watched a natural hair journey video that I felt was incredibly relatable for me. From the relaxers as a child to hitting that point where youre just like "my hair will not grow past this point" and scouring the ends of the earth to find SOMEONE to do your hair for you. Everything expressed in this video is something I have felt and the way youre presenting and explaining everything (this is like the fourth video fo yours Ive watcehd in a row) that I think you've given me strength and hope in starting this hair transitioning journey and I just want to thank you for that! Definitely subscribing
This video honestly helped me so much. I've spent countless summers buying new products, brushes, rollers so I can start wearing my hair curly. I've never had a relaxer but I have color and heat damage. I now understand why my wash and go's and twist outs don't work. My hair isn't ready to just jump into being curly with water and a few products. It's kinky at the roots, each in the middle and straight at the ends. I have noticed that after not using heat every other week that some of my curls are nice ringlets. I am happy to now start out with maybe some flexirods and see where that takes me!!! This video was ultra helpful
+ThingSoSweet so glad it could help!!! And you've got it, curls are a journey to get to after heat and color damage so just keep with the process and you'll be there in no time 😊
Thanks for this video! I'm on the beginning of transitioning ,and im soo excited ! I miss my natural hair so much ,so hopefully the process is as good as yours
Hi. You add moisture during your wash routine. So, once you’ve washed your hair, it is essential to deep condition, preferably for at least half an hour. For me, this is the most important part and choose a good deep conditioner such as one from Sheamoisture. The next part is then also important for moisture. Add oil, then a leave in, then your gel. You can now leave your hair as a wash n go or plait it or twist it for a twist-out or a plait-out. I hope this helps. A lot of people try to add moisture in between washes. This doesn’t work unless you want to restyle your hair. Otherwise, put your hair in one or two low ponytails and put a band around each tail. Then simply sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. I find this better for my hair than covering it completely with a silk scarf, my hair seems to be less dry.
This is the very first video I've seen from you, but omg. This is so good that I just HAD to subscribe. You're awesome and really inspirational too. Thank you!!
So I’m mixed. When I was really young my hair was very fine, but relatively straight. So I always treated my hair like it was straight. When I turned about 12 my hair started to get very frizzy and curly. It was very strange. How it just changed. I didn’t know how to manage it so I kept brushing it, and straightening in. And I’ve pretty much straightened my hair everyday of my life, and I would wash it almost everyday. I’ve just now really been evaluating my hair and realizing it just wants to be curly! My hair routine has completely changed and I’m going into a transition period now that I’m learning more about my hair. I’m so excited.
Ohhh i love your curls! I'm transitioning too, but i went through the braids path since i have different lenghts, and i don't wanna big chop it bc it would be too short (i'm talking bout over-the-shoulder curls versus 2inch strands 😔) i wanna try and set free my curls, but that length dif kind of stops me
+Agus Joy Thats a good start! Sometimes braids can weigh down curls a bit and be tougher on your roots so when you want to take a break, try some flexi rod or perm rod sets so you can still have nice curls and get used to the look. Just keep trimming off the damage as you go and then you'll never have to do the BIG big chop 😊 Trust me I didn't want the super short hair either, my head wasn't made for it! 🙉
It’s been a few years since I transitioned (2015-17) but you’re journey was similar to mine. I was growing my hair out from pixie length at fifteen and found the process between pixie and shoulder length different so I had relaxers. It grew to my waist by the time I entered my senior year of high school it started breaking. For about ten years it was damaged and I got it cut to shoulder length. It reached my hips three years later due to no heat or relaxers and then about six years later I was dumb enough to get a relaxer. I did that on and off for two years and then I stopped in the fall of 2015 and haven’t looked back.
So I've watched this video twice now and I absolutely LOVE it. I have been going back and forth over the last few months whether or not I wanted to transition to the curly girl style. I have never had a relaxer but from years of coloring and straightening I have a pretty significant amount of heat damage. Which has had a lot to do with me not going forward with this. But after watching this and learning some more about my hair I think I am ready! So thank you for being the needed push and inspiration I needed!!
+donielle lisbon so glad the video could help, sometimes a nudge is all we need! It was/is definitely one of the best decisions and journeys I've been on and one worth sticking with! Any advice you need and can't find, just ask 😊 Good luck!
in the process of transitioning!! haven’t straightened in a month and that’s real good for me, I used to straighten everyday but they are getting there! Getting THE CUT today hopefully they corporate!!
Thank you so much. You saved me, I wanted to do a BC but I am not comfortable with it so i found this video on my recommendation so I watch it and most of the things that you did I am current doing such as trimming my hair once or twice in a month or two just to get rid of my damaged hair. And you have earn a new subscriber, I really love your content
This video is very encouraging. My top/front is a mess too so it's been a bit of a journey. I just have to keep at it. Gonna check out your routine video next 😉
By far the best transitioning video I've seen I love how you kept it real and mentioned your down falls and showed pics from when you first started you definitely gave me hope on starting my journey in becoming natural thank you
Girl you're inspiring me. I don't have relaxed hair but my curls have been so damaged from dying my hair and now half my hair is curly and the ends are so weird. I wanna transition because I straighten my hair all the time. Ugh so hard.
I'm pretty lucky, my mother is Filipino and she always braided my hair when I was a child. I used to hate my hair tho because it was so thick and my friends would always make fun of me when my mother was braiding my hair.I thought I had the ugliest hair lol. I started to wear my hair down in high school and I can say I love my hair so much now, I don't care what others think of my hair now because I think they're awesome😊 when I see someone with their curly hair I'm like so happy and I compliment them hehe.
Lovely Video Amina. I've been going natural for about 9 months now and have been debating about whether or not I should relax. I can see I have about 5 inches of new growth and love the way my curls are looking, but managing the two hair textures has been super difficult... I've been trying to stay dedicated though but at the same time I'm a low maintenance type of girl lol. Since I couldn't be bothered with how troublesome the two textures were becoming, I've just been using a low bun as my go-to style, while continuously debating whether I should relax. After watching your video and seeing the curl pattern completely grown out (your hair patterns looks exactly like my new growth) I am so motivated to continue my transition! Thank you so much for this video. I will definitely be a new subscriber :D
this is exactly how my natural curly hair story is. when i was little my hair was super kinky and thick and my mom decided to get me a relaxer. a couple months ago i noticed my hair wasn’t growing and it was very damaged and my hair was falling out. so, this summer i decided to let it go natural. it’s definitely a process and frustrating but i’m so excited to see my natural curls when the process is over!
I'm at the stage now where I'm growing out my hair to do the big chop. I relaxed for the last time in march so I have some ways to go but I'm so excited to finally be FREE from the relaxers and the flat iron. Like you, my mom started relaxing my hair when I was 4. I'm 26 now and don't even know what my hair looks like except for the cute little curls I see on my roots lol I'm just so happy I finally gathered the courage to do it
wow. this sounds so much like my story! Except my poor mom was even more out of her depth and the first product she put on my hair at 3yo was vaseline when my grandmother told her she needed to put oil/product in my hair. I began- and failed- to go natural last year. Your story has inspired me to stick with it this year. I live in San Diego...maybe I should go jump in the ocean to give it a push :) your hair looks amazing & thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for your videos! Could you do a video that shows how you maintain your moisture and your curls throughout the week? I just did my big chop about two weeks ago after transitioning for a year, and I'm absolutely lost! Help! And happy almost Christmas 🎄 🤗
Amina Marie Thank you so much! Your channel is awesome, and you're just so genuine in wanting to help people so I will definitely keep watching! Best wishes 🤗❤️
You are soo pretty! I think we have the same curl pattern, I have 3B,3C and some 4A. What're your favourite products? I also have low porosity hair, and fine hair. and I think I'm protein sensitive, my hair don't like coconut so much
+Samira Jama thank you so much! My favorite products right now are Kinky Curly's Knot Today leave-in, You Be-Natural's Curl Shaping Custard for wash & go's, and Eco Styler gel. I also fell in love with Jane Carter's new replenishing oil which is great this time of year. My hair is protein sensitive too so I stay away from products heavy in coconut oils and make sure to moisturize my hair as much as possible
Your hair is beautiful. My daughter and I were born with natural curly hair. I have always loved my hair, however, I did occasionally wanted it straight and colored and I did for about 5 years. I. didn't experience any damage thankfully, because as I was keeping it straight I continued to moisturize wash and condition. anyway, your video is so well spoken. and informative. please continue to make more and you have such a nice personality and are so pretty. Thanks!
You're relaxed hair journey was literally my story... I hope and PRAY that my hair transitions to your healthy looking hair. I am DYING to embrace the curl!!!! I miss thick hair! its gotten sooo thin and I notice the older I get the thinner and the more unhealthy it looks. I want long luscious curls!
I loved this video! I have watched so many videos on other girl's natural hair journeys and I related to this one the most (: I have been natural for about 6-7 months now and I am finally seeing some progress. My current issue is that the front of my hair and the back of my hair have two different curl patterns, I have no idea what to do. Great video !
Syniya Morris thank you!! And many of us have multiple hair textures on our heads so the best thing to do is just work with it instead of against it! Shaping it with a hair cut that can show off the length and textures working together is a great way to do that. I usually point people to @stylefeen on Instagram who has 2 fairly different hair textures and rocks it. Hope that helps!
I’m transitioning too and the last time I relaxed was in February. I related so much to this because my mom didn’t know how to style my hair which led to getting my hair relaxed at age 5. Thank you because you’re video inspires me to keep going until I see those curls! ❤️
omg😭😍 i could relate to you so much in this video! i started going natural summer 2016 but had a few times where i straightened it and added heat but one of my new years resolutions is to be heat free all 2017. i'm really trying to get my natural curl pattern back! i have straight pieces of hair that are damaged around the front area as well and i don't know if i should cut them bc then that part of my hair would be very short! any suggestions?💛💛💛
+g0ldenbeth beauty awesome, that's a great resolution! For those straight pieces holding you back, trimming them away slowly is a great way to get you to your goal without making you uncomfortable with a shorter length. I started by trimming one inch to see how it looked, and when I felt I could go a little shorter, I cut it again until I finally felt comfortable getting rid of all of it. It's all about what makes you comfortable so don't be afraid to take your time or dive in 😊
I'm trying to make my super damaged wavy hair transition nicely. It looks terrible right now. I love your video because you talk about using the flexible rods first, then transitioning to perm rods. I haven't found a single video talking about actually transitioning products yet. Thank you!
Omg help me!! When my hair is wet it's still frizzy and dries like an Afro but it has the texture and feel of a 3c kind of hair. When I use gel it seems like the real pattern comes out but what do I do about the frizz?
It sounds like you just need to find the right products! When I don't use any products my hair dries with hardly any definition and just ends up poofy, but having a good curling cream and gel together makes a WORLD of a difference. If you're 3c similar to me, check out You Be-Natural Curl Shaping Custard (or another curling cream of your choice) and a strong hair gel and see if that helps! Check out my Wash & Go routine as a guide if you need :) czcams.com/video/zruYHUeg9ls/video.html
i was wondering how often did you trim your hair , my biggest question of all because at the length of your hair seems like you barely trim and i would love to see how you trim but what did you trim like only yoir dead ends every month or when ever you see them ? Im a little confused?
+Keily Cristy I did a mixture of trimming my hair once a month and the "search and destroy method," meaning randomly trimming stray split ends that I saw. I feel pretty comfortable with scissors but if you're not, scheduling every one or two months for a trim is a great start.
This is the best video about a natural hair journey I ever seen usually people just use a slide show and then do t explain but u explain after every picture
I'm so glad I found you! I'm hispanic and I got my hair from my maternal grandpa so my mom had no idea how to manage my hair. She would just brush it out and it would pouf, lots of blood sweat ad tears. I got lice in 2nd grade and my mom exhausted her resources and took someones advice to relax my hair. I haven't looked back but I am ready to transition at 29. Your hair in your baby pics looks just like mine did and my mom tells me my natural hair is just like yours. I'm about to binge watch all your videos lol
+Livy Mayans that's great that you're ready to transition! I know it's hard at first to breakaway from something you've been doing for what feels like your whole life! I'll have more transitioning videos up very soon! 💕
So freaking motivational!!!!!!!!! You've def got a new subscriber !!!!! Naturalists inspire me and the fact that we are all embracing how we were brought to this world is amazing. I've been natural for 6 months but have blown out 3 times already... I'm really not going to do so until after a year at least or more. You know, that " special occasion" excuse lol. Ugh i hate it! Thank you so much for sharing because we newbies do go trough that phase were we are like "eww what is this why do I look like this". Now i know we've all been there and thats comforting lol.
I got my first relaxer when I was 4 too. I have always hated my hair and struggled with breakage and frizz, finally transitioning to natural hopefully for the last time.
this video is so inspiring to me ❤️ i've been transitioning since July 2016 and there are plenty of moments when i feel like giving up, this is just what i needed. thank you! and you have beautiful hair
Hey Transitioners & Future Transitioners 💕 Just wanted to link my new transitioning series in case you have any more questions on how to go natural: czcams.com/play/PLO0lVgZxRRnlC8UyWBZ1qRdNh6nf9or1M.html 💖
What hairstyles do you recomend for transitioning hair ? also i have a bigforhead so ......
Estela Lopez here’s some styles I loved to do while transitioning! czcams.com/video/J6eFoJnJfpY/video.html
Thank god for CZcams because now when we have our babies we will know how to look after our children hair and embrace their natural textures so sad that some parents didn't have this same resources
Molly Delfuego Ah yes I agree! My mother sure didn't. When I was born in 2004. Then by the time I was 3, there wasn't really any videos about what to do with natural hair and what it, then decided to perm it. Now I'm currently trying to transition, I did the big chop and I get bullied for it but it's all fine because when I get my hair back they'll wish they were me! Haha
Molly Delfuego yes I wish it was like this when I was young I'm currently trying to get my hair back to its normal texture because my mom kinda messed up my hair also by straightening it and constantly giving me relaxers
the same in progress of growing out relaxed hair almost there!!!!
Yesss omg why did my mother never took my flat iron away
Molly Delfuego fav comment i saw today 💖
Any transitioning sisters?
Beautiful avi!
me! Going natural for the second time xD
Here!!
Me too...almost 4 months in. Pretty excited.
8 months now!
My daughter is Mexican with black and my ignorance I ended putting a relaxer on her hair. I only did it twice when she was 2 but now she is 6 and her hair is getting better and healthy. So don't be upset with your mom some times we just don't have guidance. 😔😔 also I am here to learn how to keep her hair healthy so when she gets older she will have the healthiest hair and don't blame me.
+Miriam Aguilar I can't imagine what it was like for her to try to care for my hair before having CZcams and blogs for guidance so I know she was doing her best! That's awesome you're looking for resources, as long as you keep chemicals away and heat off her hair (as much as possible) she'll be in great shape! Keep the pictures of her transitioning hair to show her when she asks you for a flat iron because at some point we all want to play around with heat!
Miriam Aguilar When she was 2😩
Miriam Aguilar aw it's good you stopped! Some mom's don't and don't listen lol.
TwO? TWO?
Wow, glad you stopped. 2 years old that breaks my heart. Good on you for researching alternatives. Though I think in 2015, 4 years ago, natural haircare was really popular
i used to hate my curls when i was younger and now im fallimg in love! thx for the video 😍
+Gabbie M it's such a great feeling to love and rock what you've got! 💁🏽 thanks for watching! 😊
Amina Marie thanks I love the video I'm at 4 months any advice
Amina Marie #20kgiveaway
i can totally relate...
I'm doing big chop tomorrow..this gave me strength. Your hair is GORGEOUS.
+Syd Garr yay good luck!!! And thank you! 😊
Thank youu! Its gonna be hard, but I'm ready.
Good luck! It's sooooo worth it :)
I would love to that but I'm so scared
How's your hair doing
To bounce back from a relaxer at that age is such a testimony. You give us women hope
+oldsoul thank you! 💕 Starting the journey while I was new in my career was a little nerve racking but at the end of the day we all have the right to embrace ourselves at any stage in life 😊
14 minutes of my life NOT wasted 🙌🏽
the flat iron "death trap" serious curly hair life problems lol
Asheley Turner I know this sounds creepy lol but you are soo pretty!
I am going natural becuz I want my hair longer and healthier. The reason why I always got a perm and relaxers because I go to a school with mostly white people. I just wanted to fit in cause everyone has straight hair. I am more confident now with embracing my culture and hair. that's why I want to go natural.
Same girly! I'm 14 and now in the 9th grade. And I feel more confident about my hair texture now.😊. And I wanted to fit in with the white girls to. Then my 9th grade year (Which is this year.) I'm going natural. Hope it works out for you!😘♥️
Lunaaa xX omg same I'm 14 and my hair is curly and stringy at the same time I want to do a chop but it's not gonna be even😭
I’m 13 about to turn 14 in a month, I’m in 8th grade. I have relaxed hair, I’ve been getting relaxers since I was 5. The only reason I wanted one was to look like my mom because she always had a relaxer. I’ve never experienced my natural hair and I hated it when I was a toddler but now I’m in love with curls and I want to go on a hair journey going natural because I want to experience my true hair.
We have the same hair journey! My mom started relaxing my hair when I was 3, and I am now transitioning and learning so much about my curls! I can't wait to see it's growth ! thanks for your videos!!
Diana Uribe this is So sad Im So Sorry for you at 3 :(
I had my hair relaxed at 11 years old And Im still mad at them
I got my hair relaxed at 5, I’m 13 now. I want to go natural so bad so I’m doing it now. My hair is relaxed currently and it stops at my mid back. I’m also tired of always feeling bound to have to get a relaxed to make my hair look presentable. So, I wanna change. I want to transition for my mental state, spiritual state, and physical state.
Yes yes yes!!! You can do it! 💖💖 It’s truly such a freeing experience and beautiful that you’re coming here at such a young age 🙌🏽
Omg Shea moisture coconut hibiscus revived my curls soooo much!!!
Your hair is beautiful!!
+Taiyeler J thank you! 😊
Usually when people go natural what persons usually do is mix olive and coconut oil together and braid it into your hair and leave it on for a full 24 hours. (It must be totally submersed in it) the next day, your curls would be on POINT.
I'm finally transitioning. 🤗 My hair has been relaxed since I was 5 and I'm currently 18 years old.
I finally found my hair twin !!! definitely subscribing!
Aleecia Thennis same omg it's about time
First video I seen transitioning without a major big chop
Your hair grows really fast haha. I've been growing my hair for 8 months and it's only 5/6 inches. You've been growing it for 14 months and it's neck length without stretch😭 I'm jealous
+Curly Jawsh that's great growth for 8 months! Luckily my new growth wasn't too damaged from my first start two years so I had an extra years worth of pretty ok hair to work with but that last 14 months made all the difference! Just keep going and in another year you'll be doing all the hair flips 💁🏽😊
Amina Marie lol thanks that's literally my goal.
Honest omg im jealous! Thats alot of growth!
Wow your lucky. I have been growing my hair for 8 months and it is about only 4 or 5 inches
THANK YOU SO MUCH. Im almost in tears because this give me the confidence to start over.
That's amazing, you can do it!!!
I will RARELY watch a full video, but you had me entranced with your story and your hair journey. Our journeys are paralleled in so many ways; my devil is bleaching and coloring. But you give hope that it is possible to be completely natural! Thank you for your words
Bianca Woodstock thank you! ❤❤
OMG SHES BEEN THROUGH IT ALLLL
The whole journey girl!
I've been 5 months no heat and I truly appreciate this video. It's given me so much motivation to keep moving forward with this journey and some tips! Thank you so much! ❤
+Kristeena Sanders that's so great to hear, thank you!! Just keep at it and know the journey/struggle is completely worth it! 😊❤
Kristeena Sanders same here😁😁
This really explained a lot of things I never realized when going natural. Great video!
" Yeah i can do black hair i do it all the time" 💀💀💀
Faith Iyahen right 🙅🏽💀
Famous last words! Lol. I went to a salon where the woman said she's worked with "ethnic" hair. I should have run for the hills but I was really young and wanted to fit in with everyone else. So happy I finally went natural!
your hair is so gorgeous! currently 3 months into my transition. threw away my straightener and have gone 100% natural. ive never been able to get past shoulder length and finally my hair is so long!! ive been using jamacan black castor oil so thats helped alot!!
When I was from 1-6 my hair was this golden gorgeous color, wavy and curly.. but then my mom didn’t know how to care for it and it got damaged along the way.. so I started straightening from 12 years old to 16. Luckily I didn’t straighten everyday, only on Sundays the day before school so my hair wasn’t severely damaged. And now I’ve come to love curly hair and have had it natural for 1 year now. Best decision ever! I love and am in love with my curls :)
Thank you!! You're the first youtuber to actually give a real life transition and advice, I've been so lost and confused on my journey and this video helped alot
So glad it could help! ❤️
This really helped me out. Im transitioning my hear damage and the front part is driving me so insane i almost feel like giving up sometimes. Thats why i keep on looking for other peoples experience even though everyone has a different journey. Thank you so much for sharing your story!
I've been transitioning for over 5 months and it's like my hair will not keep moisture and I'm getting frustrated because I feel like I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what to do..
chelsey allen Yeah, I do all the time.
Jay C. either your hair is getting used to your moisturizer, or whatever you're using to seal is not strong enough ! You should also check out and see what hair porosity you have and if that may have something to do with it
avionmember101 Thanks this helps put things in perspective but I really don't seal I'm not sure what I'm doing. I wash it then I braid it with hair and wrap lotion.
Jay C. I think you should definitely invest in a moisturizer and sealant! My reccomendation for a moisturizer is Cantu coconut curling cream or Shea moisture jamaican black castor oil styling lotion. You can get either of those at target or walgreens. For a sealant, you should try any bottle of oils that you can find at the same places. Hope this helps!
avionmember101 Thanks a lot! This really helps.
Thanks for the video. I tried transitioning but I really got tired of the 2 textures and I did the big chop. I wish that I knew of your video before but it's all good. Shrinkage is sooooo real but I'm loving my TWA. I sometimes struggle with styling and still trying to find what works but lastly I love being natural.
+Caramel Mocha I love TWAs 🤗 Shrinkage is very real but if you ever want to mix it up and stretch it for a different kind of curl pattern, there are so many sizes of perm rods you can play with! Short hair has great versatility, you just have to play with it a bit 😊
Amina Marie Thank you so much for your comment. As I'm writing this, I'm listening to your video again. I went thru alot of what you experienced growing up perm failures/burnouts/thinning city. So I don't trust salons for those reasons. If I mess up, I can't get mad with anyone. Anyway you said that you have a blog post so I'm going to see if your TWA tips are there & learn. I'm also shocked that my hair would curl. I was told to do finger coils for a year to train my hair. I do coils during the week. I'm still trying to perfect wash n gos on the weekend, lol. I have perm rods but I think that they're too small. But I'll look at your perm rods video. I am just wondering as it grows if my curls/coils would loosen because they're tight and not like I thought they would. So thanks for being a listener. If you have any other tips please don't hesitate to let me know. Happy Holidays to you and your family
Caramel Mocha same ,I found a bunch of hair channels AFTER I cut my hair lol I should have researched first
Cookie Monster LOL isn't it awful that you don't get the goods before you do the deed. However, as the days go by I'm ok because I see growth :). So all the words of wisdom I read about, hear on CZcams and now believe that..to have patience!! Happy days to you because I'll never go back to the chemicals.
What's TWA?
I'm trying to grow out .. my hair won't pass my shoulders either hopefully this helps
You're story is exactly what happened to me. I'm 16 & I just started going heat free. And it is very stressful but this was completely inspirational.
I am currently 1 year into my transitioning journey. I still have 1 year to go and I am very excited 😊
This has to be the best, most informative, helpful video that I've seen. This honestly gave me SO much confidence in my hair journey. Thanks so much!
Selina Altamese thank you that means a lot! Keep that confidence and patience and you'll be there in no time! 😊❤
I'm so glad I found your videos!! I've made the decision to go all natural and get my curls back! For about 7 years I've flat ironed my hair weekly (not good for my curls). Now I'm starting to go through the transition to natural curls. I'm just at the beginning, day 4, but with your progress I know I can get the results I want, which is my natural curls. Thanks for posting your truth about the struggle in transitioning and being real!
+Elizabeth Lopez yay!!! Congratulations and good luck!!
Amina Marie thank you so much!! Question though, did you use anything to help the growth of your hair during your transitioning period?
+Elizabeth Lopez nope! Just trimming and keeping it moisturized as much as possible did wonders 😊
this is the first video I’ve watched of you and probably the sixth video I’ve watched on how i would begin the process of transitioning. Yours was the most helpful! 👩🏾🦱
So happy it could help!! ❤️
amazing video. im definitely starting my journey ASAP!
+YupThatsNikki yay!! 🤗
You are very pretty & I love your hair. I'm very much inspired. I'm 6 mm months post relaxer & so excited about this transitioning natural journey. I'm wearing protective styles but I'm definitely gonna try the perm rods out. I love your channel keep the advice coming ☺
+Jordan Wilborn thank you I'm glad it could help!! 😊 More videos on the way!
I think this was the push that I needed. I straighten my hair all the time and I hate how it looks when it's curly because it's so heat damaged. My curly hair looks exactly like how your did when you started transitioning curly at the roots and then like four inches of straight hair at the ends. I am definitely going to start my natural hair journey very soon. Thank you so much for this video! You're amazing!
+Hailey Wilkerson that's so great, it's an exciting journey and definitely worth it!! Thanks for watching 💕
thank you! i’ve been wanting to start my journey for a while now and this motivated me to get started. my hair also has heat damage and i was afraid of doing “the big chop”. you inspired me to start my transition and i have faith that i can get to my natural stage! thank you
hey this is exactly what is happening to my hair i am 12 years old and my hair is extremely hard to manage i relax my hair a lot and my hair is breaking
I have the same problem at the top of my head. I have to help the curls by adding a gel and twisting it. I believe it's an elasticity issue. I'm currently 1 year and almost 4 months post relaxer. I'm definitely going to try the flexi rods and perm rods. Practice makes perfect because I cannot do hair to save my life! I just learned how to flat twist. 😬🙌🏼
Tiffany practice definitely makes perfect, just keep at it! It took me forever to master a flat twist and now I do them all the time :)
I think this is the first time Ive watched a natural hair journey video that I felt was incredibly relatable for me. From the relaxers as a child to hitting that point where youre just like "my hair will not grow past this point" and scouring the ends of the earth to find SOMEONE to do your hair for you. Everything expressed in this video is something I have felt and the way youre presenting and explaining everything (this is like the fourth video fo yours Ive watcehd in a row) that I think you've given me strength and hope in starting this hair transitioning journey and I just want to thank you for that! Definitely subscribing
This video honestly helped me so much. I've spent countless summers buying new products, brushes, rollers so I can start wearing my hair curly. I've never had a relaxer but I have color and heat damage. I now understand why my wash and go's and twist outs don't work. My hair isn't ready to just jump into being curly with water and a few products. It's kinky at the roots, each in the middle and straight at the ends. I have noticed that after not using heat every other week that some of my curls are nice ringlets. I am happy to now start out with maybe some flexirods and see where that takes me!!! This video was ultra helpful
+ThingSoSweet so glad it could help!!! And you've got it, curls are a journey to get to after heat and color damage so just keep with the process and you'll be there in no time 😊
Your evolution is fantastic ! I have so much friends with damage hair.... I will show them your video !!!!
+Laurianne Boudoir thank you so much!
Thanks for this video! I'm on the beginning of transitioning ,and im soo excited ! I miss my natural hair so much ,so hopefully the process is as good as yours
Yay that's so exciting!! Enjoy the journey and let me know if there are any other videos you think might help out! :) Thanks for watching xo
Hi. You add moisture during your wash routine. So, once you’ve washed your hair, it is essential to deep condition, preferably for at least half an hour. For me, this is the most important part and choose a good deep conditioner such as one from Sheamoisture. The next part is then also important for moisture. Add oil, then a leave in, then your gel. You can now leave your hair as a wash n go or plait it or twist it for a twist-out or a plait-out. I hope this helps. A lot of people try to add moisture in between washes. This doesn’t work unless you want to restyle your hair. Otherwise, put your hair in one or two low ponytails and put a band around each tail. Then simply sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase. I find this better for my hair than covering it completely with a silk scarf, my hair seems to be less dry.
I am also going through transitioning 😀❤stressful and exciting
i love the process of curly hair.. i can totally relate to these vids....
This is the very first video I've seen from you, but omg. This is so good that I just HAD to subscribe. You're awesome and really inspirational too. Thank you!!
+Courtney H. Thank you!! 😘
So I’m mixed. When I was really young my hair was very fine, but relatively straight. So I always treated my hair like it was straight. When I turned about 12 my hair started to get very frizzy and curly. It was very strange. How it just changed. I didn’t know how to manage it so I kept brushing it, and straightening in. And I’ve pretty much straightened my hair everyday of my life, and I would wash it almost everyday. I’ve just now really been evaluating my hair and realizing it just wants to be curly! My hair routine has completely changed and I’m going into a transition period now that I’m learning more about my hair. I’m so excited.
first journey vid that actually talks about how to STYLE and DEAL with two textures and the damaged parts while transitioning. GREAT AND VERY HELPFUL.
+C Berry thank you!! Glad it could be helpful!
Ohhh i love your curls! I'm transitioning too, but i went through the braids path since i have different lenghts, and i don't wanna big chop it bc it would be too short (i'm talking bout over-the-shoulder curls versus 2inch strands 😔) i wanna try and set free my curls, but that length dif kind of stops me
+Agus Joy Thats a good start! Sometimes braids can weigh down curls a bit and be tougher on your roots so when you want to take a break, try some flexi rod or perm rod sets so you can still have nice curls and get used to the look. Just keep trimming off the damage as you go and then you'll never have to do the BIG big chop 😊 Trust me I didn't want the super short hair either, my head wasn't made for it! 🙉
Amina Marie can you give me tips I don’t want to do the big chop neither😱🙄
You're life goals
It’s been a few years since I transitioned (2015-17) but you’re journey was similar to mine. I was growing my hair out from pixie length at fifteen and found the process between pixie and shoulder length different so I had relaxers. It grew to my waist by the time I entered my senior year of high school it started breaking. For about ten years it was damaged and I got it cut to shoulder length. It reached my hips three years later due to no heat or relaxers and then about six years later I was dumb enough to get a relaxer. I did that on and off for two years and then I stopped in the fall of 2015 and haven’t looked back.
So I've watched this video twice now and I absolutely LOVE it. I have been going back and forth over the last few months whether or not I wanted to transition to the curly girl style. I have never had a relaxer but from years of coloring and straightening I have a pretty significant amount of heat damage. Which has had a lot to do with me not going forward with this. But after watching this and learning some more about my hair I think I am ready! So thank you for being the needed push and inspiration I needed!!
+donielle lisbon so glad the video could help, sometimes a nudge is all we need! It was/is definitely one of the best decisions and journeys I've been on and one worth sticking with! Any advice you need and can't find, just ask 😊 Good luck!
I love watching these transition videos even though I've been natural my whole life lol
+Aekram Samuel lol I love watching any before and after, thanks for watching! 😊
in the process of transitioning!! haven’t straightened in a month and that’s real good for me, I used to straighten everyday but they are getting there! Getting THE CUT today hopefully they corporate!!
Thank you so much. You saved me, I wanted to do a BC but I am not comfortable with it so i found this video on my recommendation so I watch it and most of the things that you did I am current doing such as trimming my hair once or twice in a month or two just to get rid of my damaged hair. And you have earn a new subscriber, I really love your content
You hair grew really fast
This video is very encouraging. My top/front is a mess too so it's been a bit of a journey. I just have to keep at it. Gonna check out your routine video next 😉
Thank you! I'll be posting another transitioning video next!
Wow great video! Your natural hair journey is very well documented! Well done! Thanks for sharing!
By far the best transitioning video I've seen I love how you kept it real and mentioned your down falls and showed pics from when you first started you definitely gave me hope on starting my journey in becoming natural thank you
Girl you're inspiring me. I don't have relaxed hair but my curls have been so damaged from dying my hair and now half my hair is curly and the ends are so weird. I wanna transition because I straighten my hair all the time. Ugh so hard.
I'm pretty lucky, my mother is Filipino and she always braided my hair when I was a child. I used to hate my hair tho because it was so thick and my friends would always make fun of me when my mother was braiding my hair.I thought I had the ugliest hair lol. I started to wear my hair down in high school and I can say I love my hair so much now, I don't care what others think of my hair now because I think they're awesome😊 when I see someone with their curly hair I'm like so happy and I compliment them hehe.
+Nicole Hammond yes!! That's so great, curly hair is beautiful in all it's many forms 💕
Lovely Video Amina. I've been going natural for about 9 months now and have been debating about whether or not I should relax. I can see I have about 5 inches of new growth and love the way my curls are looking, but managing the two hair textures has been super difficult... I've been trying to stay dedicated though but at the same time I'm a low maintenance type of girl lol. Since I couldn't be bothered with how troublesome the two textures were becoming, I've just been using a low bun as my go-to style, while continuously debating whether I should relax. After watching your video and seeing the curl pattern completely grown out (your hair patterns looks exactly like my new growth) I am so motivated to continue my transition! Thank you so much for this video. I will definitely be a new subscriber :D
this is exactly how my natural curly hair story is. when i was little my hair was super kinky and thick and my mom decided to get me a relaxer. a couple months ago i noticed my hair wasn’t growing and it was very damaged and my hair was falling out. so, this summer i decided to let it go natural. it’s definitely a process and frustrating but i’m so excited to see my natural curls when the process is over!
Congratulations on taking the big leap!! It’s a struggle at first but so so worth it ❤️
excellent video! now i feel i can let go of this relaxer crutch!
P Green thank you and yes you can! So worth it! 😊
My hair has stayed the same length for like 10 years...
I'm at the stage now where I'm growing out my hair to do the big chop. I relaxed for the last time in march so I have some ways to go but I'm so excited to finally be FREE from the relaxers and the flat iron. Like you, my mom started relaxing my hair when I was 4. I'm 26 now and don't even know what my hair looks like except for the cute little curls I see on my roots lol I'm just so happy I finally gathered the courage to do it
wow. this sounds so much like my story! Except my poor mom was even more out of her depth and the first product she put on my hair at 3yo was vaseline when my grandmother told her she needed to put oil/product in my hair. I began- and failed- to go natural last year. Your story has inspired me to stick with it this year. I live in San Diego...maybe I should go jump in the ocean to give it a push :) your hair looks amazing & thanks for sharing :)
Thank you for your videos! Could you do a video that shows how you maintain your moisture and your curls throughout the week? I just did my big chop about two weeks ago after transitioning for a year, and I'm absolutely lost! Help!
And happy almost Christmas 🎄 🤗
+Ashlee Long absolutely! Maintaining moisture is definitely a struggle this time of year so I'll have something up very soon. Thanks for watching! 🤗
Amina Marie Thank you so much! Your channel is awesome, and you're just so genuine in wanting to help people so I will definitely keep watching! Best wishes 🤗❤️
You are soo pretty! I think we have the same curl pattern, I have 3B,3C and some 4A. What're your favourite products? I also have low porosity hair, and fine hair.
and I think I'm protein sensitive, my hair don't like coconut so much
+Samira Jama thank you so much! My favorite products right now are Kinky Curly's Knot Today leave-in, You Be-Natural's Curl Shaping Custard for wash & go's, and Eco Styler gel. I also fell in love with Jane Carter's new replenishing oil which is great this time of year. My hair is protein sensitive too so I stay away from products heavy in coconut oils and make sure to moisturize my hair as much as possible
Your hair is beautiful. My daughter and I were born with natural curly hair. I have always loved my hair, however, I did occasionally wanted it straight and colored and I did for about 5 years. I. didn't experience any damage thankfully, because as I was keeping it straight I continued to moisturize wash and condition. anyway, your video is so well spoken. and informative. please continue to make more and you have such a nice personality and are so pretty. Thanks!
Yes!! I need help with my curls!!
You are goals 😍 btw I love your eyebrows 👌
+Jessie Mayers lol thank you love! 💕
I loved the vid. And I've finally found a CZcams with the same hair type as me
You're relaxed hair journey was literally my story... I hope and PRAY that my hair transitions to your healthy looking hair. I am DYING to embrace the curl!!!! I miss thick hair! its gotten sooo thin and I notice the older I get the thinner and the more unhealthy it looks. I want long luscious curls!
Love this video. I'm transitioning to natural and I found this very encouraging.
I love the way your flexi-rods look I would love for u to do a video on them
I loved this video! I have watched so many videos on other girl's natural hair journeys and I related to this one the most (:
I have been natural for about 6-7 months now and I am finally seeing some progress. My current issue is that the front of my hair and the back of my hair have two different curl patterns, I have no idea what to do.
Great video !
Syniya Morris thank you!! And many of us have multiple hair textures on our heads so the best thing to do is just work with it instead of against it! Shaping it with a hair cut that can show off the length and textures working together is a great way to do that. I usually point people to @stylefeen on Instagram who has 2 fairly different hair textures and rocks it. Hope that helps!
I’m transitioning too and the last time I relaxed was in February. I related so much to this because my mom didn’t know how to style my hair which led to getting my hair relaxed at age 5. Thank you because you’re video inspires me to keep going until I see those curls! ❤️
This Is one of the best videos about transitioning I have ever seen ! Thank you
Thank you!! Glad you liked it! ❤️
omg😭😍 i could relate to you so much in this video! i started going natural summer 2016 but had a few times where i straightened it and added heat but one of my new years resolutions is to be heat free all 2017. i'm really trying to get my natural curl pattern back! i have straight pieces of hair that are damaged around the front area as well and i don't know if i should cut them bc then that part of my hair would be very short! any suggestions?💛💛💛
+g0ldenbeth beauty awesome, that's a great resolution! For those straight pieces holding you back, trimming them away slowly is a great way to get you to your goal without making you uncomfortable with a shorter length. I started by trimming one inch to see how it looked, and when I felt I could go a little shorter, I cut it again until I finally felt comfortable getting rid of all of it. It's all about what makes you comfortable so don't be afraid to take your time or dive in 😊
The twenty ppl who disliked this vid are bold
I like how you gave detail on everything and really expressing that it really takes time... A LOT OF TIME
I'm trying to make my super damaged wavy hair transition nicely. It looks terrible right now. I love your video because you talk about using the flexible rods first, then transitioning to perm rods. I haven't found a single video talking about actually transitioning products yet. Thank you!
Omg help me!! When my hair is wet it's still frizzy and dries like an Afro but it has the texture and feel of a 3c kind of hair. When I use gel it seems like the real pattern comes out but what do I do about the frizz?
It sounds like you just need to find the right products! When I don't use any products my hair dries with hardly any definition and just ends up poofy, but having a good curling cream and gel together makes a WORLD of a difference. If you're 3c similar to me, check out You Be-Natural Curl Shaping Custard (or another curling cream of your choice) and a strong hair gel and see if that helps! Check out my Wash & Go routine as a guide if you need :) czcams.com/video/zruYHUeg9ls/video.html
Amina Marie thank you so much I definitely will check out that video!!! Thanks
i was wondering how often did you trim your hair , my biggest question of all because at the length of your hair seems like you barely trim and i would love to see how you trim but what did you trim like only yoir dead ends every month or when ever you see them ? Im a little confused?
+Keily Cristy I did a mixture of trimming my hair once a month and the "search and destroy method," meaning randomly trimming stray split ends that I saw. I feel pretty comfortable with scissors but if you're not, scheduling every one or two months for a trim is a great start.
Amina Marie thank you soo much , i really appreciate 😊
This is the best video about a natural hair journey I ever seen usually people just use a slide show and then do t explain but u explain after every picture
Glad it could help! ❤️
I'm so glad I found you! I'm hispanic and I got my hair from my maternal grandpa so my mom had no idea how to manage my hair. She would just brush it out and it would pouf, lots of blood sweat ad tears. I got lice in 2nd grade and my mom exhausted her resources and took someones advice to relax my hair. I haven't looked back but I am ready to transition at 29. Your hair in your baby pics looks just like mine did and my mom tells me my natural hair is just like yours. I'm about to binge watch all your videos lol
+Livy Mayans that's great that you're ready to transition! I know it's hard at first to breakaway from something you've been doing for what feels like your whole life! I'll have more transitioning videos up very soon! 💕
That hairstylist tried your entire being of life
+_itsalladream_ Jaylyn Molin oh yea she didn't let me live at ALL. Hair was absolute trash 😩💀
who has the nerve to disloke this video
Ugh, you're so beautiful but this video is really giving me strength starting out my natural hair journey. Thank you, love.
+Hallie Harris ❤️❤️ So glad it could help! You can do it! 😘
I can't believe how your natural hair embraces your beauty 😻😻😍😍😍😍
you have killer arms :)
+Kelly and Miro Wedding lol thank you!
Dang you fine 😂😍
So freaking motivational!!!!!!!!! You've def got a new subscriber !!!!! Naturalists inspire me and the fact that we are all embracing how we were brought to this world is amazing. I've been natural for 6 months but have blown out 3 times already... I'm really not going to do so until after a year at least or more. You know, that " special occasion" excuse lol. Ugh i hate it! Thank you so much for sharing because we newbies do go trough that phase were we are like "eww what is this why do I look like this". Now i know we've all been there and thats comforting lol.
I got my first relaxer when I was 4 too. I have always hated my hair and struggled with breakage and frizz, finally transitioning to natural hopefully for the last time.
this video is so inspiring to me ❤️ i've been transitioning since July 2016 and there are plenty of moments when i feel like giving up, this is just what i needed. thank you! and you have beautiful hair
So glad this could help!! Keep at it and know it is completely worth it - we all go through the struggle but come out better for it!! :)
