    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

    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.

  • @Teka1253
    @Teka1253 Před 9 lety +1

    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.

    • @LeLe4li

    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!

  • @rubyjones3664
    @rubyjones3664 Před 4 lety

    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!!!

  • @creciasglam
    @creciasglam Před 9 lety

    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 :)

    • @LeLe4li
      @LeLe4li  Před 9 lety

      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 😍
