    I found that hair has a 4 year cycle. During that time there is going to be a time when your hair grows a lot. The key is to know when the heavy grow part of it happens and not cut it during that.

    Your hair looks bomb! I actually love the curly fro look over super defined ! Im about 2 years and 6 months natural and my hair has definitely changed it’s so hard for me to get a super define Wash and go now ...(but I don’t mind). Time flies though I’ve been watching since the beginning

    I remember watching your one year post big shop video and it was such a huge inspiration to me, that I big chopped my hair too. Seeing your journey has been an amazing inspiration, please do not stop the updates. You are doing well 😍, so happy to see you and your hair thrive and😍.

      @Fashionarily  Před 4 lety +15

      And that’s ok to feel like that! It’s all a new change and you are not use to seeing yourself like this. If you can, try to hold off on buying a wig and embrace yourself. But do not restrict yourself from wearing them. Just don’t relay on a wig to boost your self esteem. You got this!

    It’s very interesting to know that texture changes, glad to know this because I kept giving up during my awkward stages getting relaxers. But this time I’m not giving up, your other video inspired me so I went bald in December 2019.

    @taliemarcelin8999 Před 4 lety +1

    I haven’t fully finished the video but I had to stop mid way to say your video gives me hope. I shaved all my hair off 2 days ago because I was tired of the breakage and it was not growing. Watching this video and the one before just made me so happy because I have the straight/curly hair texture and in my eyes that was bad because no one else had it. I never saw youtubers talk about that type of texture and it was so difficult to work with my hair because I didn’t understand my hair so watching this video makes me hopeful that I’ll be able to watch this and pick up a few tips and learn what’s best for my hair once it grows in.

    Giiiiirrrlll now you need to prep me up for courage so I can chop away since my hair has thinned out since I put a perm in my hair.

  • @yourfavoriteforever6470
    @yourfavoriteforever6470 Před 4 lety +1

    I totally agree, some hair grows better with little to no manipulation. I wanted to do my hair in different twist outs etc as I grew it out but it would seem to never grow pass a certain length. After wearing protective styles for a while and moisturizing, I found my hair would flourish. Great video! Your hair is beautiful!

    • @Fashionarily
      @Fashionarily  Před 4 lety +2

      India T Just to answer your other questions real quick, the twists would last about 2 months and I would retwist the perimeter every 2 weeks for the 2 months. To keep my hair fresh I used water, aloe vera juice, and a little apple cider vinegar throughout the 2 months. I followed a this lovely lady on CZcams. I didn’t follow her advice to the T but this is were I got the idea. She didn’t shampoo her hair but I still did every 2 months.

    Your hair is lovely! I am 6 months post relaxer and I have 4b hair and a bit of 4a round the nape, but I am sooooo tempted to chop, having the two textures is so annoying! I have a bit of traction alopecia at the nape which puts me off big chopping yet as I want my hair to be long enough to cover it up a bit. I have applied for a job which is going to be working from home due to the Covid-19 so if I get it, I will defo big chop as I won't have to go to work or style it too much! I am so tired of usuing my conditioners on the relaxed hair as well, feels like I am just wasting money and my relaxed ends have become so limp and stringy. I can't wait to be free!

      I clarified it 2 times using shea moisture clarifying shampoo. When I kept my hair in twists, I used very minimal product so there wasn’t much build up. I only used, home made flaxseed gel, castor oil, and aloe vera juice. That’s all!
