MY BIG CHOP (April 2017) (Relaxed Hair to Natural Hair)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- It's time to do THE BIG CHOP! Can't believe the time has arrived and that I've been transitioning to natural hair for 18 months. I've not seen my natural hair since I was about 9 years old and don't remember much about it, so it's going to be a drastic change going from having long relaxed hair to short natural hair. I'm feeling very nervous, anxious & excited all at the same time. But I'm ready!
So here we go! Hope you enjoy the video! x

Very smart to use gel because it's heavy and it'll weight those strands down so that u can see where to cut. Welcome back to the natural side of the world!!!
+JnD Lewis Exactly! Thank you 💛
Hey guys, so I've finally done THE BIG CHOP! 😱 I hope you enjoy sharing the experience with me and join me as I begin my natural hair journey! x
Healthy Afro Hair just a little heads up thought you should know or probably do know about already. It may not be wise to use Shea moisturiser at the moment as they have apparently change the formula. For mix race/white hair😬
+Leonie Adams Yes, I've heard! I actually tried out 2 of their products over a month ago and wasn't overly excited, so I'm not in any hurry to buy more. Thanks for letting me know though.
Healthy Afro Hair because of you I started my relax hair journey... but then I changed it to natural since July 2016 and I'm loving it.....so happy to see my real hair after all these years.....Thank you with lots of love coming from Trinidad and Tobago
Your hair is beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I've followed you for quite some time and I am happy for you.

+Relaxed2NaturalTV Awww...that's so nice to hear, thank you ❤️
Healthy Afro Hair very true !!
Him : don’t cut any more
Her: ok
Also her: goes to bathroom
Him: what are u doing
Her: snip
I commend your bravery. I'm 20 momths post and made up iny mind to do my big chop today. I cut ONE piece and stopped. lol. I'm excited to be 100% natural but seeing that 3-4 inches come off freaked me out. Maybe I'll do it someday soon. Bravo to you!!
Makiya Walker u will know when u are ready to cut it. I'm 9 months in almost 10 post relaxer. I set a goal for a year.(June 22). Hold up, I'm 10 months already lol. I may go longer. Not sure.
+Makiya Walker Thank you! Yes it's a little scary to start off with, but once you get going it's not so bad. I guess you're not ready yet, but you will know when the time is right, so take your time 😄
I'm at about a year post but I've never had short hair and people always say I look better with long hair so I don't think I'm going to cut it yet.
Sunny Days people can be so mean sometimes 🙄
Yeah people can be but I cut my hair anyways like 4 weeks ago .
Your natural hair is beautiful 😍 Judging by how well you cared for your relaxed hair I'm sure you'll do great on your latest hair journey xx
+swiftlydoesit Awww...thanks so much! 💛
today is the day I cut off my relaxed hair and I have never felt so free in all of my life 😭😭😭
+Aj.daily 😃🙌🏾👏🏾👍🏾
You're an inspiration! It's nice to have British girls go through this. I started doing relaxer stretches because of you and now I'm at 20 weeks post relaxer, I'm slowly considering whether I should go natural, but I'm nervous as I've always had shoulder length hair so its a HUGE things for me to actually go completely natural. I'll be watching with baited breath with your amazing journey. Well done HAH!!
+Nefre Nefruaten Awww...thank you ☺️ I know exactly how you feel. Going from long relaxed hair to short natural hair (complete opposites) was a scary thought, but as time went on, I prepared myself for what was ahead. But take your time and do what feels most comfortable.
i really like how your hair looks an hope you post your updated hair regime for us
+hailey ifill Thank you! Sure, if there are any major changes to the recent one I did, then I will definitely share it.
welcome to natural hair family!! maybe you should do a length check for us, love your twa
+Lisa Essien Awww...thank you 😊 Yes I most definitely will!
im so glad you went natural, your real hair is so much more lively, healthy and beautiful.
+Dellila Tesfay Thank you! 😊
It's so satisfying to see you give yourself a makeover through cutting the relaxed ends off & sporting a beautiful natural afro.
This is great!!! I recently had my hair cut again after being fully natural for nine years. I have not had a relaxer since 2007. Your hair is pretty. I have done a couple of videos for newly naturals. I wrote 2 Amazon books Dynamic Curly for newly naturals. One of the books is a paperback on Amazon entitled Dynamic Curly Extended. The other is an ebook.
+Alicia Mendsey Hey, Join Our Community Subscribe! Thank you! That's great, thanks for sharing.
congratulations on the big chop !! when i was thinking what to do for my relaxed hair, yours was the first channel i came across at the end of last year. i am now four months post relaxer. it is hard but i will persevere.
+glenys boothe Thank you! Yes it's not an easy journey, but you will most definitely get there. All the best!
Congratulations on your big chop! Was so pleased to come across your channel the other day while researching conditioners - your videos are so informative and I feel you give really honest reviews on what products you use. I am nearing the end of my transition with about 2 inches of straggly relaxer ends I need to get rid of but too chicken to do it.
Also nice to see another good natural hair vlogger this side of the pond! Look forward to more great videos and if you have time please could I put in a cheeky request for updated skincare and everyday makeup look videos 😊 Your skin is always glowing and I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants in on your secrets 😬
+Cafe Con Leche Awww...thanks for your lovely comments 😊 Glad to hear you enjoy my videos! It can be quite daunting doing the BC, but when you're ready you'll just do it. As for my skin care routine, nothing major has changed since the last one I did. I think the only product I've stopped using is the 'Simples Cleansing Lotion'. But hopefully in the future, I'll do updates on both routines.
OMG I am so proud of you!!! I've recently done a big chop last month too on the 5th of April. So you big chopped 20 days after me! We can go through this natural hair journey together as it was the end of an era and now it's the beginning of a new one! It takes real courage to do a big chop. Well done! Keep up the hard work!!!😘♥️🙌🏾💯
+mama conateh Thanks so much! Yes, it definitely takes courage. Sometimes the thought of something is worse than the actually doing! But I'm looking forward to the journey ahead! Hope yours is going well 😊
The beauty of each strand makes a amazing frame to a perfect skin.
Best video I have seen so far and I want to transition from my relaxed hair to natural hair
👍🏽. I'm about 5 months post relaxer & Now I'm considering doing the big chop
looks great , nice and healthy! Shrinkage can be annoying but it gives our hair that healthy full look. You'll be back to your old length in no time : )
+V2B2010 Thank you! Yes it's frustrating 😩 but as you said, it definitely gives us that healthy thickness. But I'm looking forward to it getting slightly longer.
Congratulations! Can't wait to see the lengths you grow your natural hair. I followed your relaxer journey although I haven't had a relaxer since 2008. I love the care you've always taken with your hair 💜
+Tieasha S. Thank you! Yes, I'm looking forward to the journey and what's to come! 💛
OMG congrats on your big chop . Your hair is beautiful and thick 😍
+ausafrikbabe Awww...thanks so much 💛
My one year natural hair journey anniversary is coming up on 5/14 and I'm super excited to see my growth when I straighten for the first time! Congrats!
+Jackie1113 Thank you! Also congrats in advance on your 1 year anniversary! 😃
Your videos were the FIRST I watched when I started on my healthy hair journey. I love your videos and you are very professional. Congrats on going natural. I guess I could still use your tips (updated) on my relaxed hair?
+CarolCovers Oh...really...wow! 😳 Thank you so much! And yes, you can use the updated tips for your hair. But please feel free to ask any questions if you need tips or advice for your relaxed hair 😊

I have been following your straight hair journey into your natural hair journey, and I am inspired. I am currently transitioning. It is different, but I am happy to embrace my natural hair!

+Salone Jones You're very welcome! 😊 I'm happy to hear you've been finding my videos useful and that you're inspired by it all! I definitely plan on documenting my journey and providing any useful tips. Yes, transitioning can be challenging, but you can do it! 👍🏾
Wow...many congratulations. You're TWA looks gorgeous, thick and healthy. You've always been an inspiration to me from your relaxed days and I hope you will continue to make great videos as you are now fully natural :-)
+Melissa 1302 Awww...thanks so much, that's really lovely to hear ❤️

Okay it's been a couple of days ...... how do you *really* feel about your hair. I'm trying to transition I'm 25 weeks post and I think I will truly miss my long hair. I had a huge afro back in the day and I know that won't be possible now. Wish me luck.
+representing50plus I'm actually enjoying it now and I've been experimenting quite a bit. But you never know what you may achieve with your hair, so stay positive. Best of luck!
hey love I really want to thank you for the inspiration you gave me a year ago to star a hair journey!! I started shoulder lenght and now I'm at bra stra lenght ao happy I clicked on your vedio that day😍😍😍
+HIWOT MEKONEN Hey, awww...I'm so happy to hear that and you're very welcome! Well done to you and keep going! 💛💛💛
What is your hair type? I think we have the same type but I am transitioning. Its been a year for me I wanted to know what yours was.
congrats!!! looks great!
+SimplyALLURING Thank you! 💛
so excited! you're 1.5 months ahead of me so you always let me know what to expect because our textures are very similar :-)
+Niccole Marcial 😃👍🏾
Sorry may i ask what that thing u were spraying on your hair was cuz i wanna try to get my natural hair back too
It would've been my 24 months post relaxer in May but my hair grew like wildfire. I only had a few straggly pieces in the front of my hair, and one day as I was styling it, I just cut it off. I'm proud of my length. #Shrinkageisindeedreal Congratulations and welcome to the natural world! I'm looking forward to you sharing your newly natural hair journey with us.
+Nikki Nicole Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to the journey! 💚
Combien de temps a-t-il gardé tes cheveux avant de les couper s'il vous plaît
You are so beautiful...cutting your hair to its natural state only enhanced it more😊
+faja harry Awww...thank you! 💛
Nice :D I big chopped after transitioning for 15 months. The relaxed hair was feeling mushy and I couldn't deal with it anymore.
+TheHyperSkittlez Thanks! 😊 Yes it gets to a stage when you just know it's time.
Congrats beautiful!
+Rosemary Godwin - Ese Thank you! 💕
i love this video. you just earned a new subscriber. I'm going natural but i don't want to do the big chop. i cut my hair once that wasn't a great idea & if i let my mom cut then she'll just shave it bald or make it uneven & hairstylists are way to scissor happy
+Kayla Johnson Thank you 😊 Yeah, do what feels most comfortable and take your time.
I see you 4c kinks and all. Congrats on your new journey
+Joshie Thank you! 😊
congrats!!! looks so great !! I'm 11 months post relaxer.. I'll probably big chop next year may
+lydia Alasa Awww...thanks! Hope your transitioning journey is going well!
I love your big chop video! And all of your videos :-) very to the point and educational.
+w2 Thanks so much, glad you enjoy them 💕
It went very well and I love my natural hair!!! Enjoy your hair and have a great weekend!!!👍😊
+COCOBLUE BELLA Oh...great to hear 👍🏾 Thanks and have a great weekend too.
Hey y'all my girlfriend did a big chop video the other day and I really love it. She's going to drop videos of her doing girl things lol and I think y'all would be interested. We are a new channel so we don't have much views and subs. Please go check out her video and tell her what y'all think🙂. It would mean the world to us if y'all would make our dreams of being a RUclipsr a step further into becoming true. God bless you all!🙏❤️
WELCOME TO THE TEAM #teamnatural
+Darlyann Eugene Thank you!
yay! you did it and it's beautiful. Play around with it and grow with it. Congrats.
+AnnB Yes I did 😃 Thank you and I most certainly will.
Congratulations looks really good on you! Happy Natural journey!
+paris yally Thanks very much! 💕
Hi i wud love go post relaxer but i have strong hair what products can i use for the main time to moisturize and to keep my hair soft because i need to make my braids and it would be hard and painful if my hair is so strong, what can i use for the main time and how do i take care of my hair.
+Agboola Mary Oluwaseyi Hi, some good hair care brands you can check out that have moisturising products are; Cantu Shea Butter, ORS, Mielle Organics, The Mane Choice, TGIN, Kera Care & ASIAM. I also have a number videos providing hair care tips which you can find here; ruclips.net/p/PL31C3DDFF7A82DEF1
Congrats. I can't wait to see your growth and styles
+Nobody Thank you! 😃
Did it change ur pattern ? Like before relaxer and after relaxer to transitioning to back to natural ...if u understand what I mean ...please respond
Yes, I get what you mean. To be honest, I’m not too sure, cos I was only a little girl when I got my first relaxer, so didn’t really remember much about my texture. But judging by pictures, I would say it appears the same.
Julie omg you look so ADORABLE AND BEAUTIFUL!!! Was waiting on this
+Esther Jewel Awww...thanks Esther! Yep, it's all done now 💕
Short hair really suits you! I love the natural look!
+P Ash Thanks so much! 💛
Congratulations and welcome!
+NaturalHead1 Thank you!
Liked your hair journey. Not going natural. Not my taste for myself. Tried it. Hated it on myself. Wear the style you like!
+Dee Wilson Thanks. Yes, it's all about what makes you happy.
What is transition ing when you dont out any relaxers in the haur and just shampoo and condition and take care if your hair us this right.
+ELSIE JOHNSON It’s when you decide to return back to your natural hair and stop relaxing it. So you can either ‘big chop’ meaning cut off your relaxed ends immediately or you can ‘transition out’ meaning grow out your hair until you feel ready to cut off the relaxed ends.
Yes! Go girl! Great video, definitely feeling inspired. Which scissors did you use? Do you have a link for them pls?
Looking forward to sharing in your new journey.
+Brooklyn Londoner Thank you! 😄 I've now put the details of the scissors in the description box. It's the same ones I used, but from a different supplier and it's a lot cheaper too, so lucky you!
Thanks so much Hun.
You're welcome!
Absolutely beautiful
anita
+Conrad Samond Awww...thanks 😊
How long have you been transitioning? Im texlax and thinking of doing the same. Congratulations!
18 months
You should so do a skin care / diet routine. Your skin is radiant! 😍
+Duubz Thank you! 😊 I actually already have an old skin care routine on my channel, which is more or less the same. The only product I've stopped using is the Simples Cleansing Lotion; ruclips.net/video/08WZ6q4ovWI/видео.html
Congrats again!!!! Enjoy your natural hair!!!!
+Hermany Mathieu Thanks again! I will do 💛
congratss sis..welcome to the natural hair fam😘
+Ravailla Kramp Thanks so much! ❤️
I just subscribed! I love your videos. I just big chopped 2 days ago and I'm loving my natural hair. Do you have any advice and hairstyles/wash n go's that you like to do for your natural hair?
+Enya Fleshman Right now, I mainly wear my hair in a high puff and wash n go styles.
I had quit using relaxer for a year and my natural hair won’t grow what do i do?
Just watched this video and you inspired me
Ahhh…that’s good to hear ☺️
Looks so thick and healthy
+My Crown Thank you!
