    In this video I'll be showing you the technique I used to big chop my hair a 2nd time. To make a long story short, my hair was damaged. After having my son, I completely disregarded all the good hair care practices I had become familiar with. I colored my hair and didn't moisturize properly. I straightened my hair frequently with extremely high heat, much higher than the heat level I used in my hair straightening tutorial. I had to choose whether I wanted to transition from my damaged hair or say farewell. I chose to take the plunge and do a big chop. And now we're here!

    I used your straw technique last week to do my big chop, cutting off about 9 inches of hair. It worked wonderfully! People keep asking how I was able to cut my own hair so well and I tell them about your video. Thanks so much for posting this!

    i really love your spirit and how positive you are! I'm watching BC videos to help me build confidence before i cut off all of my chemically treated hair.

    You are very wise, talented and gifted my young daughter. This is what I did back in the day to learn about my own individual hair type. I read and experimented with products, until I found what worked for my hair type. I took daily vitamins as well as hair vitamins, and I tried to eat healthy. I stuck with the regiment, my hair grew and was healthy. Thanks for all of the wonderful videos you have shared. Your are showing all, what with time, effort and care, any woman's hair, will grow. effort. Once again, another share for my youngest daughter! Have safe a lovely 4th to all!!!!!

      +Frances Ann big chopping was one of the best decisions I've ever made for my hair! I had to grow to love my short hair but when I did, I was more in love with my hair than ever before! Good luck!

    I'm so happy your back! I remember watching you a while back and you were doing the flat twist and you really inspire me to go natural and I also follow you on Instagram. My hair has grew a lot more than it did when I was putting heat in it.

    • @shalandabrown1998
      @shalandabrown1998 Před 8 lety

      I think you should style it in Bantu knots

    • @Frequentfinder
      @Frequentfinder  Před 8 lety +1

      I'm so happy you're still around! My twist out tutorial was so long ago! And I'm going to try a Bantu knot out one of these days. If it turns out right, I'll post it. Wish me luck!

    • @Frequentfinder
      @Frequentfinder  Před 7 lety

      Thanks for subbing! The last time I flat ironed my hair was December 2015. I'm almost terrified to use heat on my hair. I might go another 12 months before I straighten again.
