Girl, you speak truth about us having to change our texture to feel accepted when no other ethnicity had to do that. I used to long for a wash and go and wondered why we could not do that like our sisters with curly hair or straight hair. I always wondered why our hair was considered ugly and why a little new growth was embarrassing. But not anymore! Divas like you have helped me embrace my natural hair and now I'm proudly part of the natural hair community. I'm now in love with my kinks for the first time ever.
P F .....You must recognize the pressures and the circles of judgment YOU/WE place ourselves in. Unfortunately "Self-Love" is not openly celebrated amongst the Black Family! At least that's THE LIE we've been fed, and we believe it, sum of us! (Not I) Always needing validation from others, instead of recognizing the envy of others thru imitation; WE continue to be our biggest critics and it's sad because we ARE a beautiful people; NATURALLY!!
What you said about feeling like you cut out alot of pain, I totally felt the same when I big chopped! So liberating, thanks for taking the leap and being an ambassador for how gorgeous our hair can be ❤
When I big chopped the first time I couldn't chop it off fast enough.. When I was finished I felt like I was invincible, and I NEVER felt more beautiful!
Craving Curly Kinks... I totally understand.. your brain, eyes, and heart had a little struggle to join forces to be United and it worked out just fine. ☺
"That's me!" summarizes simply and eloquently self love and appreciation! I really loved that sentiment! You hair is wonderfully wooly, cottony cool; I love it!
You wanted to know why you couldn't wear the hair that God gave you. I wanted to know why I had to waste so many perfectly good Saturdays at the salon. We'd arrive at about 7 am only to leave at about 2 or 3...if we were lucky! Since my first relaxer was at around age 3, I honestly didn't even know that natural hair was an option! I've been natural since 2012 with armpit length combination 4b/4c hair. Your channel is giving me life!! Thank you so much!!!
Lol you kill me! I feel the same transitioning from fake hair. I would always cover my face now I have to appreciate it being big and round. I’m glad I am over it now. God gave me this face and hair and I love it lord!
I love it! My hair looks a lot like your big chop. I may have never seen my hair's true potential. For almost thirty years I have had a chemical in my hair - like mm mm. I'm almost a year fully natural. Yes, we must trust the natural process.
This brought back memories of my own experience in May 2015, I was as sad chopping off my 15 inches permed hair but it was worth it. Yeah! Am in love with my natural hair 😍😍
Wow, thanks for sharing this. It's so nice to see your starting point and all the progress you've made. Very inspiring, since i big chopped 5 months ago and went from Bra Strap Length to a TWA.
I don’t usually comment at all but watching you share compelled me into commenting. I too had those thoughts and it wasn’t until 2016 that I finally embraced my natural hair I LOVE THE WAY I LOOK it’s growing ..maybe not as fast as some but it’s ME ALL ME!!😍THANK YOU for sharing. Power to the fro 👊🏼
True young lady, we are brain wash thinking our hair is the worse, but the big happy news for me is that the creator of the universe has woolly hair revelation 1: 14 and Daniel 10. I had sister locks and now I now my God has my hair those locks came out now I am rocking my wool. Happy that you appreciate your wool.
We need to be CAREFULLY READING the scriptures before sharing. Revelation 1:14 says: His head and hair were WHITE LIKE wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; Revelation 1:14 NKJV SO.... THE COLOUR OF WOOL. We donot know exactly what the texture of His hair is. Only the colour. BUT EVERYTHING God created was and is very good. And we honour and respect Him by accepting what He has given us. God bless you richly.
Wow! I can totally relate to this video, I just big chopped my thin relaxed hair in August! And 4 months later my hair has grown soft, thick, longer. I feel so free!!
"They never told us that black is beautiful" -Chronixx. I have now empowered myself and I have found my true self and identity through my kinky curly type 4 hair. Kinky curly hair is beauty and as black women, we embrace our true selves. Beauty inside and out. I love it!
omg this is really emotional cause i used to have the exact same thoughts about my hair i just didnt understand why it had to be this way i asked everyone around me and they said thats just how it is and now that i look back i realize it all stems from lack of education about my own hair. Everyone around me was also uneducated about hair so ofcourse relaxers were the only option i can't believe it took leaving africa and coming to a whole other country for me to be more educated on natural hair
Does anyone have any tips on growing out shorter sections? I big chopped in December and recently discovered I have an area in the back where the hair is fragile and different from the rest of my texture (4a). I don't use heat, moisturize daily, and I wear my satin bonnet. I don't want to cut my hair all over again because it's coming along way already (just over 2 inches). Plus I want to rock a cute fro for my college graduation. :(
Hi, maybe you can braid or twist your hair and leave it as a protective style while still following your moisturization routine without taking your hair out. That usually works pretty good. Low manipulation.
Ari scalp massage brush, you can try the inversion method once a week, being active helps, but at the end of the day it may just be how your growth rate is. So to that I'd say all you need is patience. Let it grow. Don't cut the other side just because it's a little lopsided. Do more protective styling so you're not so focused on the end product. Other than that, you should be fine. ☺ my hair did that too for a while but it eventually grew out evenly. Oh, and I almost forgot. You may not do this, but speaking from experience don't tie your hair scarves too tight at night. Blood flow needs to flow freely. Any constriction to the body in any way will only slow it down. Good luck nena.
where is the section that is more fragile? i think its important to finding out that hair texture like density, fine or coarse, porosity, elasticity, etc. so you would know how to take care of it. i remember a youtuber had loose hair like curly/wavy hair but her nape was 4c, and because she only knew how to take care of curly hair and not kinky hair the back of hair wouldnt grow long. you can try different protective styling to give your hair a break to grow, you can try castor oil, or try ayurvedic techniques (look up curly proverbz), try different moisture techniques, some hair thrives from constant moisture, some thrive from low manipulation etc
Honestly U looked really gd with short hair bk then Any length hair looks gd it jus depends on how U rock it an U can colour it etc.... But seriously U looked alrite An healthy hair is the best however short or long Thanku for sharin
Amazingly beautiful story...thanks for sharing! You are right God would not give us hair "that was so awful", we were tricked and terribly manipulated to believe everything about us was wrong/bad ☹...for over 400 years...we are "woke" now though ❤✊🏿😘
Hi, to be honest the tips I shared in my 9 tips to grow your hair by retaining length is literally my Holly rail for length retention. But I will definitely share even more tips in future videos.😘

Awesome video, sis. You are beautiful now and you were beautiful then. Tfs!!! 💜

I love my natural hair and it suits my beautiful face but I don't know how to style it.
Ok really? Stick with braid outs and twist out and use head bands to frame your face. As an option...?

What styles did you do with your short hair? I cut mine but I dont know what to do with it😭 help! - love from Holland
Hi, if your hair is long enough for braiding, you can twist your hair or braid it and put hair bands in the front to style it.
Ok thank you very much. I love your hair and your videos are very helpfull😊😊
Finger waves /two strand twists (depending on how long your hair is )
