Gemini Peterson I actually did mine a month ago and I can literally say that It has changed me as a person💀💯 I'm mad I wasn't able to record an do it myself cus my mom wanted me to get it professionally cut but it's whatever lol
It's something about them literally cutting out the dead part of their hairlike cutting out the dead parts of your life. lol. I big chopped 2 years ago, but I still love these videos 😍😂
This video made me super emotional. I'm one who has a difficult hair journey my entire and it's not as a result of mishandling or lack of care, but more due to my DNA. It's weak, think, fragile, and slow growing. As a result, I live vicariously through my RUclips sisters and I enjoy watching them process and transform their resilient hair. I would give anything to have versatile hair type that I could chop off and that grows quickly. Your hair is lovely and thanks for sharing with us. Baby is beautiful too!!!!!
L L I am in no way shape or form trying to sell you anything, but have you tried hair skin and nail vitamins? I would try those(or whatever brand you want) and double your water intake and see if you notice any improvement.
L L No problem I hope that helps! I've been using castor oil on my ends when I get out of the shower and after about two weeks I can definitely tell a difference. So hopefully between the vitamins and the black castor oil you'll be able to get some growth. Good luck ❤️
Probably a good idea to big chop because your hair didn't look like the other texlaxed ladies I've seen. Some people can pull it off and others can't, I guess. Just like some are better at maintaining natural hair. Good luck.
I'm sorry....I know the focus was supposed to be on your hair BUT your little chunky man stole the show! He's so handsome with his little chubby cheeks! I love the chunky (arms, legs, cheeks, hands,etc)stage! oh and I see that Black love shinning through! Gorgeous family and your hair looks nice btw!😊
Chigozirim ᴖᴥᴖ she talkin bout the baby but her husband is black im pretty sure he just light skin or mixed im the same color as him and both my parents r black
Welcome back to being natural! I've been following you years ago since you were first natural. You did a great job with your big chop. Can't wait to see what natural styles you will do 😊
Welcome back!!! I love that you are honest about your experience because it helps us as a viewer understand the process and what to expect if we were to think about processing our hair. To be honest, I thought about processing my natural hair once it get to a certain length but after watching several RUclipsrs revert back to natural it helped mold my decision to stay natural. Please keep us updated on your progress! You have such a cute family!
yessssss! i was just telling my co worker that im fed up of my relaxed ends and that im cutting them off in december. This video motivated me even more. I cant wait.
Congrats on doing the chop!! When I did it, I had probably an inch or so of hair left on my head, but a year and a half later my hair is shoulder length! Nice video :)
Leela Morris Hey, same here I took clippers to my hair after cutting the length with scissors. 16 months later I went from bald to a little past shoulder length.
Sour Patch Kid KK there's no secret to growing hair. You just have to be consistent, get trims regularly, and do protective styles like box braids and twist outs.
I love how your family made their way in the video 😂😂 I was hoping to see how much your little man has grown! He is so handsome! Those cheeks just make my heart melt! Im happy you did the big chop! :)
it looks good thick and healthy. knowing your hair porosity is a life saver,i also think curly girl method is great and worth trying especially if your hair low porosity. good luck on your new journey.
I was natural my entire life but my hair was so unmanageable, no one even wanted to touch my hair so I had to get a relaxer but sometimes I do miss my kinky hair so good for you girl!
You are such an inspiration, it's your channel I come to for down time and relaxation. No matter the day, weather or time..... You'll Slay regardless. Much love and respect all the way from New Zealand. 💖 Thank you for being humble. x
Conngrats honey! Welcome back. lol, the short curly looks so good in you. I was just watching you videos today about how you grew your hair with sew ins to get some inspo. I'm at the 3.5 year mark and getting TIRED. Lol, looking forward to future videos on your journey😘 And your son is a Thick'em!! Sooo adorable!
I had to do this myself. I thought I would hate loosing those inches but the process was so freeing. I truely fell in love with my hair after the chop!
Congratulations on being natural. You made the right decision. I know it took courage to cut the processed hair. Your hair will grow back longer and healthier. I hope you do more natural hair videos. You have a beautiful family. Stay blessed
omg the baby 😍😍 he's like a little biscuit of love I can't you guys I can't with this overload of cuteness ❤❤❤ your hair looks beautiful by the way, can't wait for future natural hair tutorials hopefully 😘
Jasmine Smith some people cut off bits at a time until their natural hair grow out and that's not a issue if you can manage working with both textures and keep your new growth healthy in the process.
Having healthy hair is always more important than having long hair. I have had long hair ALL my life, and I only just recently (I'm 35 yrs old) started to learn how to properly take care of my hair. A lot of my hair used to fall out when I combed my hair, and even when I washed it because I had no idea about sulfates and harsh chemicals in shampoo that was stripping my hair. My hair type is 3b/3c and I already know that a lot of women believe that saying I'm natural holds no weight compared to someone with 4b/4c hair. But every hair type and person has different hair, and until you know how to give your hair what is wants to be healthy, be it long or short, everyone has the right to say they are going on a natural hair journey. Having 3a/3b/3c hair doesn't mean its automatically easy to deal with your hair and you just wet it and go!!! We are all beautiful with beautiful hair! Learn about your hair and let it be what it is.....a reflection of YOU!
❤️❤️❤️ girl your hair will grow back in no time!!! I had a baby boy May of this yr and I still take my prenatal pills, lots of water, dieting, and weekly deep conditions. I only wear my hair in two strand twist or three strand braids. You got this plus you already take care of your hair. Thanks for sharing your lil one in the video he is adorable.
Girl it was good to get rid of it especially for the fact that you were not happy with it. I cut off my processed ends over three years ago, and I am glad I did it. No regrets. My hair texture is similar to yours.
You are so smart for letting the textured hair go. U r hair is beautiful in its natural state. #teamnatural i hope mother hood is treating u well and work is going great.
I just did mines today hair was just as long as yours and I felt the same about my straights ends the strange thing is that I didn't even plan it like I thought I would. I just woke up and washed it and I saw how much was natural and was like I might as well just do it, once I started It wasn't nearly as hard as I had thought it would be or as devastating as some ppl make it seem but I had been transitioning for a year and three months so it was a good length. all in all I was happy with it, hair is hair even if you cut it, it will just grow back!
i went a little bleach crazy and i currently have my hair this pretty blue but i miss my texture and having dark hair, so i definitely plan on doing a big chop very very soon and dying it black. i love your cut girl.
I so need to do this to my hair. I'm super nervous...I've been going natural for about a year and a half now. You have a great curl pattern. Def. Subscribed and ty so much for sharing with us.
you have beautiful hair. new to your channel. I'm definitely subscribing. . idk if you noticed, but while you were cutting the texterized hair off, you left some still in. But I'm pretty sure u noticed that. lol.. Beautiful baby boy..
ambree you giving me the courage to cut mine the right way because some stylist's mess you up on purpose from being hateful the last one cut 5 inches of healthy hair off my head
Now that you went back natural, how does your hair respond? Does you natural hair retain moisture this time around or no? I'm tired of my natural hair. I think I'm going to get a texturizer for a little bit.
I am in the same situation as you! I really want to go back natural. I have a pretty curly pattern to my natural hair, but to be honest it's really hard going through things like this if you love your hair.
Your hair was so long! I love your new natural look! I've been transitioning from relaxed to natural for 4 years now, but I still see long relaxed ends once I wash my hair. I want to be completely natural but I'm so nervous to do the big chop 😭
your hair grew fast yessss Congrats I just did big chop #2 4 years of being natural bc my hair grows fast too and I just wanted something new and fresh
I'm about to BC again myself. I hate dealing with the two textures after a while my hair starts protesting against each other (natural vs relaxed) 😂😂😂 I'm about 8 months post relaxer idk if I wanna wait or not.
good for you! p.s. your son is scrumptious and adorable. loving him! congratulations on your new phase of natural and on having a healthy baby! #blessings
girl i had to chop my bangs cuz they got messed up and stopped curling up from heat damage!! Now they doin better but imma have to cut a lil more off!! O and ur lil baby is tooo tooo cute!
I don't know what it is but these big chop videos are so therapeutic 🙄❤️😂
Britt Neil i love them!! i can't wait until i do mine in 2018
Gemini Peterson I actually did mine a month ago and I can literally say that It has changed me as a person💀💯 I'm mad I wasn't able to record an do it myself cus my mom wanted me to get it professionally cut but it's whatever lol
Yessss girl I watched so many before I decided to do mine
Britt Neil concordo com você!! me sinto bem assistindo.. não vejo a hora de cortar meu cabelo!!
It's something about them literally cutting out the dead part of their hairlike cutting out the dead parts of your life. lol. I big chopped 2 years ago, but I still love these videos 😍😂
Why everybody keep uploading big chop videos are y'all trying to tell me to cut my hair cause I been thinking about it 🤔😂😂😂
Brownskin Barbie yeeees i really recommend it
Brownskin Barbie I honestly cut about 7 inches off my hair about 2-3 weeks ago lol
FOR REALLL
They get a lot of views
Nails By Shuna same😂😂😂

Gabby W thanks for understanding and for the valuable advice. I will definitely look into getting a vitamin supplement to see if it helps. Thank you!

L L no ones hair is 'weak' unless you have a disease, your hair is very likely baby fine, you just need to be a little more careful with it
I'm sorry....I know the focus was supposed to be on your hair BUT your little chunky man stole the show! He's so handsome with his little chubby cheeks!

Welcome back to being natural! I've been following you years ago since you were first natural. You did a great job with your big chop. Can't wait to see what natural styles you will do 😊
It will grow so fast! It might feel like forever but when you look back at old photos every 3-6 months you will growth

go to shea moisture website or do porosity test with warm water.
curl pattern is beautiful

Thank You :)
Amazing ! I'm gonna chop my hair soon too! I'm currently 16 months post relaxer can't wait ! 😬

I was natural my entire life but my hair was so unmanageable, no one even wanted to touch my hair so I had to get a relaxer but sometimes I do miss my kinky hair so good for you girl!
Destiny Tatiyana : She said in a previous video she breastfeeds exclusively so it just melted off :-)
The more i watch these videos the more i want to do a big chop. I've been really thinking about this for a while.

I like the cut you did. Lol your son face when you were showing the hair that you cut off😆. Enjoy the rest of your day👍
Omg look at that chunky cuteness. 😍😍
What's the name of the product you used to moisturise your hair??
I almost did this today but chickened out lol. Your hair looks good and that length fits your face very well.
smart choice with cutting away those ends. look foward to the progress of growth. btw, your baby is so cute. He's all you girl. Such strong genes
I big chopped in April and it was honestly the best decision I made for the health of my hair, well done!!
Wish you the best on your journey back to natural. Your son is sooo precious!
+PeacewithSha awwwww thank you ☺️
Ambre Renee
I wish I had the guts to do this! I really need to do this too but I don't want short curly hair :/
Jasmine Smith same I really want to do it but i just cant😩

if your hair is relaxed you can just grow the perm out through a protective style
So Jo
❤️❤️❤️ girl your hair will grow back in no time!!! I had a baby boy May of this yr and I still take my prenatal pills, lots of water, dieting, and weekly deep conditions. I only wear my hair in two strand twist or three strand braids. You got this plus you already take care of your hair. Thanks for sharing your lil one in the video he is adorable.
Mimi F my doctor recommend me to still take them since I breast feed my son. Also prenatal pills help grow my hair and nails
If you breastfeed it is recommended that you continue to take them.

I love watching these because they're so satisfying. But I was also thinking about getting my curls texturized, but now not so much. Wish you luck :)
looks beautiful natural as well. still very long. can't wait to see what styles you have coming up!
Your hair looks fantastic! I just cut off my texlaxed ends last week ...what a relief!
welcome all the way back! congrats on everything!
All the way from South Africa...I swear this is exactly the kind of motivation I needed to do my own big chop. Big ups for the bravery lol.
Love it! Im natural too but your curls are so bouncyyyyyyyy. The cameo from baby boy and your bf is too too precious ❤️❤️
i went a little bleach crazy and i currently have my hair this pretty blue but i miss my texture and having dark hair, so i definitely plan on doing a big chop very very soon and dying it black. i love your cut girl.
I so need to do this to my hair. I'm super nervous...I've been going natural for about a year and a half now. You have a great curl pattern. Def. Subscribed and ty so much for sharing with us.
congrats!!! you did a good job,Beautiful curls☺☺👍👍
Beautiful results! How long had you gone without a relaxer before you decided to chop it all??
Peace&Cookies〉(^_^)〈 She said a year and a half
Oh Lord your son is gorgeous!😩😩😩 Your curl pattern is pretty too!
Brazilians brought me here. I got stuck watching BC videos is Portuguese for like an hour! ❤ your 'new' hair
Randomly came across this video and was battling the same thought. Thanks for motivating me to cut my perm out!
I could swear i heard the baby saying,"mommy what are you doing." LOL.....
you have beautiful hair. new to your channel. I'm definitely subscribing. .
idk if you noticed, but while you were cutting the texterized hair off, you left some still in. But I'm pretty sure u noticed that. lol.. Beautiful baby boy..

yo baby boy is so scrumptious! and wait and see your hair will definitely grow back healthier and longer! Great video beautiful! 😍
That baby is so juicy & adorable 😍😍😍
Now that you went back natural, how does your hair respond? Does you natural hair retain moisture this time around or no? I'm tired of my natural hair. I think I'm going to get a texturizer for a little bit.
I am in the same situation as you! I really want to go back natural. I have a pretty curly pattern to my natural hair, but to be honest it's really hard going through things like this if you love your hair.
this was so relaxing to watch & congrats on your new journey! i'm always here for it
Your hair is so gorgeous, why did you texturized?
Your hair was so long! I love your new natural look! I've been transitioning from relaxed to natural for 4 years now, but I still see long relaxed ends once I wash my hair. I want to be completely natural but I'm so nervous to do the big chop 😭
Avaya Martin 4 years?👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 most people could not make it that long. I think you should big chop if you want to, if not big chop when you're ready.
Wow, you are doing it. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 Great job. Thanks for sharing you journey with us. You did well Amber.
I love u Ambre you have taught the world so much
You look lovely with makeup but without it you look so much younger!!!! Love your hair!

+Latisha F yes girl I feel your pain. I'm gonna stick with it this time and really give my hair some good TLC
same. I was natural for 3 years then chopped my hair into a bob and relaxed it... bad choice.
Life is all about bad choices and learning from them. But its ok we got it this time lol
