I'm so glad you mentioned the fact that there is no need to do a big chop to go natural....
right
Ikr cause I was scared
Isn’t she mixed? Can’t compare her hair to everyone’s texture! Sometimes it very well needed!!
So many women in my country are going natural, it's like everywhere I look I see natural hair it's like...I'm in heaven.
It's just so beautiful.
where you from ? I wish my country was like that :(

Yes 911, This video n
that freestyle thooooo! who knew alyssa can spit
that's what I was saying! I was like ayyyyeeee! Lol
InnovativeCurls thank u soo much for just stating my life because I'm only 13 and I'm just starting to do my own hair in general and going natural and I have one of the hardest textures of hair and I just need help because I'm just still a kid who's still doesn't know any better
InnovativeCurls spit?? Best word you can come up with

I'm Fourteen and my Mum had me on relaxers since I was four so I have ten years to make up for not having natural hair and this video really helped me get a grip on where to start so thank you very much, like I was so close to calling it already and throwing another relaxer into my hair.
This is Exactly Me Right Now
k;. m
same I hated perms
they was burning
Just like me, my mom relaxed my hair when I was 4 and has been doing it ever since. Now I've made the choice to go natural. All relaxer does is damage your hair and break it off
Just finished my one year transition and big chopped a few weeks back, best decision ever! You're so right, ditch the chemicals, ditch the heat, bring out the oils, conditioners, leave-ins, natural hair loves it :)
Ima go natural, so tired of this heat damage
Samee 😫!
Omg yes
MerrahNextDoor I'm going to
Go natural to
Same girl🙄
MerrahNextDoor I am too. My only reservation is I don’t cornrow, 2 strand, 3 strand or flat twist. I her that those are some of the rings you need to do to your hair in order to manage the hair. I don’t know what to do. I stopped relaxing in 2015 but I still have relaxer on the ends, don’t want to big chop, but I do trim. I’m confused.
Tips: Research what your hair porosity is, as well as hair type. Watch natural hair videos of You Tubers who have YOUR hair type, so you can get an idea of how your hair might react to the products and techniques they use. Might is the key word here. I saw a video of someone with 4C hair who had an allergic reaction to coconut oil! Not all hair textures can use all the same products. I hear of people with 4C hair watching videos and taking tips from people with 3C hair. Not the best idea! If you use the same products as a 3C person, and try to do the same techniques, then you probably won't get the same results as 3C people. You'll be struggling and struggling to make your hair do something that it doesn't do naturally. Get to know your hair, and embrace your texture. If you're 4C, 4D, 4E, don't expect your hair to look like Shizen Wong. Save yourself the heartache. Learn what works for you!
These tips made me relax with starting to go natural 😚 thanks for the advice
+Skye ID idk how to tell my hair type .. just wondering how do i do that?
but over all her hair tips (& a few other youtubers) have helped me in the long run regardless if we have the same hair type or not ive learn how to maintain my natural hair w her tips :) .. that was honestly my BIGGEST thing was learning how to maintain &take care of my hair
+Aurelia Puentes just look up what is my hair type and there are plenty articles on hair types and porosity types as well the websites I used were Popsugar.com and NaturallyCurly.com just a start up for you
This is not 100% true, I have 4c hair type and followed some of youtuber Maryam J. Hampton tips and it worked wonders for my hair.
Wow I didn't know that it went past c!
i thought that was your real hair... i need that wig
Anyone want to go natural together, you know to keep each other in check?
Jalyssia Moore sure!
angela wilson cool what's your email?
Jalyssia Moore I wanna do stretch relaxer
Treynasha Wardlaw yeh I want to do that before I officially decide if I want to go natural again
Me too I am 5 months post...lets keep in touch

Tamar.... but maybe prettier..... but ur right
LIES!!! Girl you trieeeed
Nydia Ryan ikr!!!
Kam Lakes yeah she does!
Kam Lakes she do 😂😂
Okay!.... Girl got BARS 🔥🔥lmao
this video is exactly what I've needed/been looking for AND you posted this on my birthday. It has to be a sign....
I've been getting perms for as long as I can remember. lol. Just recently my sis convinced me to go natural, (i think I'm in the 4s on that chart lol) but as soon as my hair is too thick to manage and I'm having a bad hair day, I'm like "PERM!" lol. This is going to be harder than I thought. Love this video! Thanks for sharing :)
A wig?! LOL woulda never knew, lol
I love wigs I started wearing wigs at an early age like 18 lol!
My mom is finally letting me go natural I'm so excited 🤣🤣!!
(11)Same
This is so useful, thank you!
Great advice Alyssa!
Omg hey empressive!
This is literally the best "How To Go Natural" video I've ever seen and I've watched TONS! Thanks girl.
I'm a newbie! You are beautiful. Thanks for all your awesome tips. I completely cut my hair...had it cut by the wonderful barber in my picture. I am so EXCITED about my new journey. It's been a long time coming. At 46 years young; I feel AMAZING! I also subscribed to your channel. YAY!!!
You are my new hair hero! I'm transitioning and you got all the info I researched for the last couple months and more in this one video.
First of all love your name because it's my nieces name, lol. Two, I have an empty coke bottle with my name on it my room on display also-Amanda. Most importantly, you have one of the best no nonsense videos on how to go natural for beginners. I love it because everyone else have like, a crapload of products that ain't cheap. I think you're the first video I've seen that admits that some of this stuff is not in your budget and to not be scared of using any products that isn't natural. Great vid! LoL@ the No Flex ZONE part!
I just started my transition journey. It's been 4-5 months since my last relaxer! Lol I literally think of you when I'm going to the store to get new products, I watch your videos for advice. What type of encouragement can you give me for my journey. I seriously didn't think it would be this hard and frustrating.
Thank you. U are a life changer. I have been looking for a video like this but I couldn't until now. THANK YOU😘
Thank you for this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So helpful. I love my satin pillowcase. It's changed my life honestly. Also moisture sealing my hair!!!!!!!!!! so glad I have youtube.
Kat!!
Omg I love you girl! You can just see the love and passion in your eyes. You put so much work on editing just for us. It's been great seeing your Chanel growth :) xoxo your #1 fan from jersey
I love her too! North Jersey here as well.

Hello dear I just stumbled across your channel today I've been natural for 12 years and you gained a new subscriber you are hilarious I'm passing your video onto the newbies that I know that are just starting thier natural journey Thanks so much xoxo.
This is the first video I have ever subscribed to. I like the '"keep looking for what works for u'" part. Tnks
Natural hair, here I come! Thank you :)
WOOOWW U LOOK LIKE TAMAR BRAXTON TO ME,OMGGG!!!🙌🙌🙌
omg i thought so to
Really?! I don't see it.
Angel Golden she does 😱 same thing I said
You are the cutest. I've actually been somewhat "natural" for a while, I used a relaxing product once 5 years ago and also cut my hair a few years after. But I don't really know how to work with my hair! So I'm subscribing to your channel and I am going to binge watch your videos! Thank you!
I'm 7 months post relaxer and this is all so true! You're tips are spot on :)
Your eyebrows!!
creme of nature sulfate free and my hair is so soft and manageable!!
I love you Alyssa! You've been my hair guru since day one!! You taught me everything natural I know! Love you soo much and your videos! Your hair is always awesome! And your makeup too! Mush! You're fabulous!!!
Super helpful video! Thanks for sharing as I am going natural now. Your video was great!
You sound kind of like Khadi Don! I love this video btw. Thanks so much!
the rap in the beginning is still fresh
This video started it all for me. I love you Alyssa
i love you lol seriously. your attitude and vibe are just so positive and contagious.and this helped me so much because i have tried twice to go natural but i get discouraged and quit and end up using heat because i am not comfortable with my length in its natural 3b state. shrinkage sucks. im going to take some of your advice though and try again :)
Eyebrows on fleek
LOL when you rocked that baby
THAT IS THE BEST WIG I HAVE EVER SEEN!!
Great video Alyssa!! Comical, rhythm and song, informative, what more could we ask for!!!
Just a little note: For folks trying to go natural AND curly girl method, both of these (shampoo & conditioner) have silicone in them and while that helps with styling curls, it can build up in hair and create that vicious cycle of needing to use sulfate shampoo because the only way to get rid of silicone build up is with Sulfate/clarifying shampoos.... I've used both of these products and while they create great slip, it's sometimes a good idea to try sulfate, paraben, & silicone free products (ex: most Shea Moisture products are free of these things). Just a suggestion for fellow curly girls.
I'm transitioning and after watching tons and tons of videos I decided not to follow any methods because it becomes overwhelming. I want to be free with my hair so I'm trying it all, lol. No matter what I use on my hair if I do I good cleanse with apple cider vinegar or shampoo all the build up is gone. At first I was falling into the don't do this and you can't do that trap and it was becoming so overwhelming now I just do me and it's awesome. I have been transitioning for 16 months now and my hair looks and feel great. If I'm in the store and see I product I want to try I don't even look at the ingredients I buy it slap it on my head and if it's awesome I keep it and if it sucks I return it so I guess you would call this my method, lol. What I've learned from doing this is I would have missed out on some amazing products if I followed all these different natural hair methods.
Socialmediaoverload CG method is just works for me. I've always stuck to my natural curls (except heat straightening) and I've tried it all! I stick to a couple brands because that's the easiest for me because I know its mostly natural and don't have to worry about build up or chemicals drying my hair. Shea Moisture products are the bomb diggs and work for my hair type (2b-2c) and I absolutely recommend trying some, but by all means everyone should try a load of different things and do what makes your hair the healthiest and look the prettiest. I just wanted to put it out there that not all the products Alyssa mentions are CG. But holy moly her videos are AMAZING!. I have tried so many different things with my hair styling because of her so I'm not bashing or hating on her methods AT ALL btw.
I've tried one shea moisture product that I hated it was the deep conditioner in the tanish looking packaging. My scalp itched so bad it felt like it was on fire and it broke my forehead out. I never break out so that sucked :-( I had to rewash my hair all over again which really sucked but my scalp was miserable and so was I. I don't have a holy grail shampoo yet but my holy grail conditioner is the Giovanni deep moisturizing conditioner and my holy grail deep conditioner is by cantu. I love trying new deep conditioners more than any other products but I always find myself going back to the cantu one. I still continue to venture out from it because I never know it might be a product I love better out there. I will continue to try new shampoos once I finish one I try another one so eventually I will find a shampoo I don't want to live without, lol. I'm one of those people who shops the whole hair care isle not just the natural products section.
I forgot to say your hair is beautiful!!!!! It didn't sound like you were bashing her methods in your comment to me you were just providing some awesome advice for those who want to go the CG route :-).
Socialmediaoverload aA W
I didn't Notice This Video Was Old Until I Noticed Her braces😭
Honey I so enjoyed your video you've helped me a lot. Can't wait to see where my hair journey take me.
Natural is like a Part-time job & OT! I love having my natural curls out but going through the styling process can become overbearing and the amount of money I spend on hair products (natural oils, generic brands and high end brands) is KRAAYYY! Shouldn't complain because I always love the results of soft, shiny & good smelling hair from the products and process. sometimes wish there was a faster & not so expensive.
I would like to start transitioning my hair, but I have always had my hair relaxed or in braids. Is it possible to do it while having braids(extensions)? 😕 I'm just not brave enough to walk "natural"
Andreia Fernandes you can deffo do it with braids! That's what helped my natural hair grow the most, it's a great protective style.
I'm going natural❤️🤗🤗
Very straight forward ... loved it!
Thank you for this! Love your personality!
Waiting On A Video About How You Apply/Style Your Wigs !!
omg ur make up😩😩 lord gimme strength 😩😩😍😍😍😍
Literally the most helpful video on CZcams
Just started transitioning last month and idk what I’m doing
Thank you!
I love, love, love your videos!!! Definitely subscribing!!!
I'm like a mix between 4a and 3c
+LunarAngel same
same
me too but more kinker
Ya, my hair is weird because the crown of my hair doesnt even have curls. Its like a slight wave, but all the hair around it is 4a/3c!
😁 I feel you😂
This has nothing to do with hair but,... I really wanna see a tutorial for this makeup look!
4:53
5:01
Just discovered your channel an YOU ARE AMAZING OMG definitely subscribed!
Love this video a lot of helpful tips some things that I didn't know. Thanks!!
I love this! I'm 8 months in and am definitely struggling to make styles and products work for me. I live in the UK and natural hair products are just not as widely available as they seem to be in the US... any UK girls know of decent natural hair shops and salons??
Im not from uk but you can always try ordering things online and its cheaper
I have found a couple of websites but I'm always a bit sceptical as to whether the products are the real deal or not. Just wondered if there was any stores I could physically go to!
I go to mona cosmetics in shepherds bush for my shea moisture but they have brands like kinky curly, Curls, shea moisture, mixed chicks etc really good and reasonable prices. hope that helps :) p.s I'm new to this natural hair journey 4 months in x
Amy Clements Which area of the UK are you from? I've found a few in good stores in Manchester, one sells Giovanni and Aubrey Organics which I love. I'm the same, wouldn't buy from Amazon/ebay etc but I trust the UKcurlies website. Also, if the general black hair shops aren't selling what you want you could try TK Maxx, they sell higher end shampoo's and conditioners etc x
I live in london and there are lots of black hair shops here that sell like every product you see in all those natural hair video's. Try looking for a black hair and beauty shop or go to black hair salons and ask where you can buy natural hair products.
♥♡♥
Let it grow... Let it growww... Can't... wear it out anymore!
Thanks for all the hair tips hun! I am currently transitioning and I also bought some wigs to use as my protective style.
I love you girl keep making awesome vids!
how is that a wig ?¿?? i cant
Random but what lippie is that?
I love your personality and all of your videos !
This helped me so much! I've watched a lot of videos but this one helped the most. :)
🙋Hey please can you give us some more info on that AMAZING wig😍 so good I didn't even notice👍. Is it human hair, can u use heat on it, is it expensive and what is the up keep like?? Thanks x
She got it on wowafrican.com its on her Instagram. I went to the wowafrican.com Instagram account and her wig is $234
mrs. powda thanks!
An ACV rinse can clarify your hair if you don't want to use shampoo
What's an AVC rinse?
ReginaSparkleSibert it's an apple cider vinegar rinse. Shea moisture has one or you can use regular apple cider vinegar instead. It doesn't make your hair smell Lol. I thought that at first.
Jennifer Clark Thank you so much Queen. Be blessed.
Yep I swear by it
I loved that you made this video so clear and easy to follow please make a tmi tag !!
I live your videos I always get a laugh out of it and you keep it interesting yet fun!!
Hi Alyssa! I'm trying to transition from relaxed hair to natural hair. My hair is already short but my question is where do I start??!!! My hair is straight (from the relaxer) and thick, I'm not sure of my curl type or if I have any curls at all! Oh, my last relaxer was about 2 1/2 months ago! Help!!!
im no the same boat with you
Ajali Gaines I have no clue as to what to products purchase or where to start. My hair is probably too short to do the Bantu knots. I'm lost!!!
my hair is shoulder length and damaged and my mom wont let me cut off everything thats been permed yet so im just letting it grow till i can today i tried sort of a twist out and it was pretty good so i might do that so that i wont have to put as much heat on my hair
Yeah I just started and I haven't put heat on my head in a month. It's been hard though. I just don't see any growth happening! It's frustrating.
have you tried the inversion method
Can you tell us what lipstick you're wearing... Please.. It's gawjussss
Yesss please
I'm anew subscriber who is new to transitioning. This video is very informative and you are HILARIOUS
Please help ... I am thinking of going natural...I have short dry damaged relaxed hair with a lot of growth and I want to cut but I am self conscious and don't know what style to cut ... considering I am almost thirteen does anyone have tips and suggestions
TheTumiShow Productions yass gurl I would suggest shoulder length like a lob or a Bob and stay away from relaxers and heat. I did this and my hair is not perfect but I have my curls back
Have you gone natural yet i would suggest protective styles as soon as you cut it
SAME BUT M THIRTEEN NOW
Baby Mani thank you. Protective styles include faux locs. And cornrows?? I really want to start in September
Hiiii, I just turned 13 and you should do some protective styles :)
Going natural is like to quit smoking its hard to do. I feel like an addict there's temptations everywhere to stay relaxed. I have my mind set my natural hair is ugly ppl made fun of it although my relaxed hair is ugly too it doesn't grow either.
Nobody has ugly hair 😋😘
Such good info! Thanks.
Love this Video! I wish I would've seen this when I began my natural hair journey. I always see you on IG but today I sat and watched a few of your videos.....yo you are funny as hell I love it! Keep em up!
I only shampoo once a month but I need advice, I'm transitioning buy whenever I wash my hair I get hair loss not sure if it's breakage or shedding but it makes me hate washing my hair 😩😢
try co-wash
it's when you wash your hair with conditioner (AND [not or] deep conditioner) only. and detangle your hair with your fingers when you wash them
I'm transitioning too and I don't loose hair anymore
+baybi972 when I'm not shampooing I do cowash
+Meyybe Eliza don't shampooing at all to try if it's work better
+baybi972 okay, I think I also might be adding too much water, I like to soak it
+Meyybe Eliza try warm water ti wash and cold water to rince it out
Imma go natural , I'm 16 & I stay gettinf relaxers
*getting
+Dejahlyn Massenburg good luck ^~^
Same here I'm mixed with American Indian I mean it showed when I was younger but now my hair looks like it just gave up
+Savior Alexander same
This video has helped me out very well. Thank you!
Found your channel from your comment on Raven video and I had to sub. You're so pretty and your personality seem relax!! Keep sharing knowledge!
im ready for school i start monday and ill be in the 6th grade
Leah McCoy hope the year is going well. Middle school is a tough transition in its own
How to go natural: Stop relaxing your hair.
P.S. You can still use heat without damaging your hair. That's all I can say because I couldn't get through 2 minutes of this video.
BLESS YOUUUUU this is so helpful! Especially the part about not chopping it off that it my worst fear. I've been so confused about what to use and I think it's making things worse to not have a set routine haha. Now I have a better idea of what to do :) thanks so much!
Yasss! I texlaxed my hair last Sunday. But I usually stretch my texlaxers and wear my hair in twist-outs, braid-outs, and etc. I'm gonna start transitioning. No more texlaxers, I love curls; I'm done with them! I 💖 this video!!! Makeup Tutorial? You look so pretty!
Since when did keeping the hair God gave you become a part time job?? Just keep your hair healthy by washing it from time to time and eating healthy etc.!! You are taking care of hair, NOT A PET!! Sheesh!!
It's a lot of work to keep naturally curly hair healthy. You obviously do not have natural curly hair if you didn't get that metaphor.
I see what you're saying, but if you want it to grow out and STAY healthy, you should take those precautions. Many African American women don't have 'long' hair because they don't treat natural hair the way it should be treated. So yes, it can be a part time job.
Good tips and your makeup is so pretty!!!
very very informative! love all your videos
Such a great informative video while dealing with products!!! I'm transitioning but great job !!!! this really helped
Ayyyyyyyyeeeeeee!! That freestyle though >>> . I had to stop and comment on that really quick, OK back to the video !!!
I'm going natural!! I'm so excited!!!
this is so helpful!! thank you😩😩😩
ur eye makeup is giving me life, yes lordt
the pop ups are hilarious to me!!! lol great video
your hair is so beautiful! I actually like it better black, then when it was colored, it looks healthier now and really has grown..
This is exactly what I was looking for Thxs for sharing this video
hahaha i loved your free style it was actually pretty good haha
✨✨Loved your freestyle ahahaha too funny lol..and very straight to the point video I loved it got some good info thanks girlie!!!
