Reminds me of the beginning of my journey. I was so discouraged by boys saying my hair looked like there's, but now I'm loving my curls, feeling like Diane Ross (:
Good Lord give me the strength to hold on for a year. I want to never look at another boxed perm for the remainder of my life. I love how you went month by month because I was wondering how it’s going to look and what to do with it. I have been relaxer free for almost two months.... and I love feeling my coils and I never want them to go away. Going natural is one thing but to FEEL natural is liberating
You're SO patient...I'm only on month 2...Lord help me ;o)! Beautiful hair girl, you inspire me!!! Thanks for the journey video, it's the first I've seen on CZcams since going natural...A+ ;o)!!!
I've been watching a lot of these videos recently. Your hair is lovely! I think no matter what kind of hair you have, it's important to learn ways to style and take care of the natural state. I'm white, but dealt with frizz a lot since puberty. I always washed, blow dried and straightened my hair everyday. I started to embrace my hair and not apply heat that lead to breakage and the cycle of continuing to flat iron. I don't shower everyday either. Your body produces certain oils for a reason. 9 months after ending this process, I actually have less frizz than ever. Heat or chemicals should be reserved for special occasions. We are born with the hair we should have, so let's embrace our natural beauty and learn what works for our own particular type.
We have very similar textures! I am almost 5 months post relaxer. Your video has given me an idea of how my natural hair may possibly look. Your hair looks great! Congrats!
Be encouraged!!! My last perm was a couple months before yours, 8/31/13. I chopped off my relaxed ends at eight months. I keep it in a ponytail and wear a fake ponytail over that. I want it to grow out more so that it hangs better before loosing the fake pony. My hair doesn't puff to make an afro so I'm waiting for some hang time.
+Tola I pre-pooed with my conditioner, washed it, then put perm rods in for the 1st time, which didn't come out good, but practice makes perfect, and I'm so much better at it now
Have a good weekend, thank you so much for making this, lot of people are doing the big hair cut, i need to see people who dont do it until our hair grow long!!
Please make a video on the struggle u went through while transitioning and the products u used please !!!!! 😍 (just mainly talking about the transitioning process
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! AND THANK YOU again. This is the kind of video that I been looking for. I have been struggling on the decision to transition to natural due to my curl pattern and the current length of my hair. This is a great start and inspiration to me. Thanks again!
I am transitioning to natural because the nape of my hair just would not grow. My hair is longer in the front and short in the back. My back I think is fully natural since I haven't had a perm for almost three months now. Styling is still very much a struggle for me so I do alot of up-do buns because the twists will only last me maybe a good 2 days before I need to do something else to it. But I must say that your journey is really given me hope. I let the Africans do my box braids which becomes very expensive but I think I will have to utilize the box braids style until I get a little more length so that I can fully enjoy the twist/roller set styles because like I said after two days my back part looks like a matted mess. I Will Stick To It Though After Seeing Your Video!!! It will be worth it because my back hair is already much thicker just after a couple months of no perm!!!
Loved your video. I'm 62 about to retire. Only 4 weeks post. You have got to know its hard for me after many years of relaxing. I am going to give it a try. Keep up the great work young sista!
I love watching videos about people's transitioning stories. Your natural hair is so pretty. I'm transitioning myself & can't wait to big chop. When are you gonna do the big chop?
I’m thankful I started transitioning back when I was 12 I made the decision before my mom yafeelme so I’m happy ash I’m 19 now n I get hella hair compliments 🙏🏾
OMG....your videos have inspired me! I am currently growing my hair out...I am so scared but anxious and excited with what the results will be. I am black and so i have a tight curl and my hair tends to be dry a lot.... I am in the gym a lot and am sweating all the time in my relaxed hair so I said you know what it's time to just go natural...not to mention I am having breakage in the back like you and got my hair cut into a BOB as well...its grown back a lot all over but then the back broke off again...I think from lack of moisture and my very tight kinky texture...so I have decided to bite the bullet and do protective styles and hopefully my hair will be as gorgeous as yours...I am also going to start taking the hairfinity pills as well to boost my length, because it's definitely THICK! But again, so inspired to follow the same things as you did to transition from relaxed to natural hair...by the way can you post an update on your hair ? I am intrigued to know what it looks like now. xo thanks :)
+Crecia's CZcams Favorites Well definitely make sure to moisturize your hair either every morning, night, or even both!...Even with your protective style in (if they're braids). And thank you!
thanks so much... I'm refusing to put another perm on my head, and haven't done the chop yet. But since I've seen ur video I'm going to continue to bantu my hair and wear it curly! I guess I just thought that I should cut it, but now I see that I can just let it grow!
That's Right Baby Girl, Embrace That Natural Beauty!! I Swear If I Didn't Know Any Better; I Would Say That I'm Looking At My God Daughter!! You Are Absolutely Beautiful!! Rock On Baby Girl!! God Bless You, Sweetie....Looking Blessed!!
I have 3b hair, and I almost had heat damage. All I had to do was deep condition it and cut off some of my hair which was to my waist, now it's to my middle back ;-;. Gotta get my waist length hair back
Jeezzeee...your hair looked exactly like mine a year and a half ago. Pictures of mine looked EXACTLY like yours. At first I was like, "howd this person get my photos!?!" :)
thinking about going natural too... I haven't relaxed my hair since December and wanted to go relax it last week but wondering if i should just let my hair be since I've basically started the transition process...
I love this song and by the way when you said November something something that was my birthday!! :everyone hm hm nobody asked likeee that was when I turned 6
Faith Siriboe Well if I had to guess, I would say 4b. And maybe 4a, like in the front. But I won't know for sure until I big chop. And six months is awesome! That's when transitioning really started getting exciting to me, good luck to you!
Please help me with my hair 😩😩 So damaged and dry. Can anyone please? I'm struggling to seal in moisture in the middle and back. It feels like wires Your hair is beautiful BTW 😍
i love this transition and this song BEAUTIFUL

This song was spot on loved the video
My daughter is 14 and is on her 5th month of transitioning. This is such a beautiful video. I love your hair with the perm rods at the end!

Arlene Johnson lol Well it makes sense. That's what they call that in-between awkward stage. I would love to avoid that!
this was so soothing to watch

I am not my hair
I'm 16 years and I will be 1yr in February. I'm so excited! Right now I'm protective styling with crochet braids for the winter.
Jalisha Henry Oh, that one year mark, so exciting! And that's cool, you'll probably end up seeing so much growth when you take them out. Congrats!
Thanks so much for this! I'm 5 months in, and my hair looks like yours did. I absolutely needed this inspiration.
Tyeisha Thomas Awww thank you that means a lot! Keep on going, it'll be worth it in the end!
After watching this video i literally knew this whole song😂. Love the song & your natural hair looks great.
Hi. Your hair had amazing growth. I am currently transitioning. What products did you use??
When your new growth started coming that's what my hair looks like a week after relaxing and it pisses me off
Thank you for this. It gives me hope. Your hair is progressing beautifully
I cant decide what is more beautiful...your curls, skin, song, or face! Just a freaking awesome combination!👍🏾👌🏾💖
Have a good weekend, thank you so much for making this, lot of people are doing the big hair cut, i need to see people who dont do it until our hair grow long!!
