- Hey naturals, transitioners, or relaxed ladies!
This video is about my natural hair journey. I’ve been natural for four years, since April 2014! My natural hair journey has been full of ups and downs, but I hope this fro-tivation video inspires you on your journey! Although my journey has been rough, I’d never get another relaxer again! I would not trade my thick, kinky, curly, shrunken natural hair for anything! Like & subscribe for more videos. #adorablealliehair
EDIT!! PLEASE CHECK OUT MY 2 VIDEOS ON GROWTH FOODS IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS!
Make sure to check out music by my friend Bryson Banks with his information below. In this video I used the song “Again” produced by Bryson !
Disclaimer!! If you saw an edited meme of me saying you were “bamboozled” I didn’t make the meme so stop trolling lol. RELAXED OR NATURAL DO YOU BOO! I’m not bashing or judging, this is MY story. Also I call it a perm because I want to, I know I got relaxers. ITS SLAG!

![Natural Hair Growth Journey Before and After (With Pictures)-[Collab w/ Naturally Izzy]](/img/1.gif)
natural hair is where its at. i cant believe so many of us stayed getting relaxers lookin a mess when we have such amazing hair.
Akosua Rose Ikr! I only wish I cut it off sooner, or never relaxed to begin with lol
Akosua Rose I agree that natural hair is beautiful, but natural hair isn’t for everyone. Hair doesn’t define you!
girrrrrrrrrrl I know right 🤔
💯
I agree I regret ever relaxing it when I was a kid but I feel like it's a good part of my history. It makes me grateful for my natural hair even though I hated the big chop
Dang your journey was a real struggle but you overcome. Love the result
CandyApple Momo Yes the struggle was so real lol thank you !
Although my journey has been ROUGH, I’d never get another relaxer again! I would not trade my thick, kinky, curly, crazy shrunken natural hair for anything! The wait was soooo worth it ☺️.
EDIT I have 2 videos relating to the growth foods eaten (As a growth challenge and results). Please check out my page for details !
Your hair journey is the most relatable hair journey I've ever watched
Wazakauye Zulu Thank you I’m glad it is! Some people see my hair today & would’ve never imaged my struggle lol
Fr finally someone to relate to
Finally a video that I can relate to. Growing up with short damage hair and finding a routine that works
Chrissy Dash I’m so glad you can relate! It’s a difficult process, but not impossible!
Ugh I'm ready to go natural. I love this video. I've been relaxed for as long as I can remember and I'm ready to go back to my roots. This video helps a lot
PettyQueen Thank you so much for watching & I’m so happy it helped! Of course I fully support you going natural 💓 I’m so happy I did.
How'd it go?
THIS INSPIRES MEH TO CONTINUE TRANSITION TO NATURAL!!!
Roslyn Davis Aw thank you’ It’s hard but you got this!
I normally don’t like long natural hair videos especially the natural hair journey videos where they go all the way back to when they were babies 🙄 but I can honestly say I enjoyed your video and it was well put together!
Mika B wow thank you so much i really appreciate it!!! I honestly debated starting so young but i had to show everyone how bad my hair was from the start 😂
Your voice over 😂 I was thinking damn don’t be so mean to her then remembered your talking about yourself 🤣🤣
Lydia Collins 😂😂 that’s too funny! Girl yes i am ashamed of myself haha so glad that phase is over 😂
truuiiiiiiii
This hair journey is beautiful! I'm inspired. Thank you.
aw thank you means a lot!💓
Sis found how to love herself even with wanting to give up.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
😂😂😂😂😂 when you went back to the relaxer 2013 that sound of the crowd
Meek Meek 😂 thanks I’m a bit dramatic lol
😂😂😂😂
You roasting you hair the first couple of minutes, so relatable. Rolling lmao
Jasmine Renee Lmao definitely a common phase 😂 I can’t believe myself
I use to wear the hump too girl💀
kookiemac ! Omg 😂 we really thought we were doing something lol
@@adorableallie thank God there aren't pictures of me with it😂😂😂
nooo you HAVE to find a photo lol
Box braids and twists made a difference those styles always worked for my hair too.
Lexus Sykes yes same i love them!
I love watching videos about people transitioning from relaxed to natural hair because I find the process interesting. Also, I have been forced to relax my hair since I was 7/8 years old (and I am now in the 10th grade), and my hair started getting silk pressed when I was 3, and I am tired of it all. Especially since I am now swimming a lot my hair constantly breaks from relaxers and the overuse of heat (I am also forced to straighten my hair).
I want to say thank you, because videos like these give me the confidence to start embracing who I am once I get to college (since I am probably going to be stuck with relaxers until I’m out the house).
Also, your hair is beautiful!
@@anotherpersononplanetearth3936 Such a kind and thoughtful comment thank you so much for watching and sharing your experience! I am so glad to help motivate you on your journey! It can be really hard when you are living at home or still in school! Still learning yourself, what you like, and how to care for your hair! It will be worth the transition even at times when you feel insecure with the change! Best of luck in your journey and just know it’s never too late to start! Take pictures to document your journey as well. ❤️❤️
Omg I’m so glad you uploaded this video. I have been seeing your relaxed ponytail vs. natural puff everywhere!
Sweetheart Bea Thank you for watching! I still can’t believe my pic & that “meme” version went viral lol
I don't know why, but your journey being a struggle with all its ups and downs makes me relate to you even more. Your mistakes and second guesses made me feel normal. I'm definatly subscring. ❤️
wow thank you so much really means a lot! Hair journeys aren’t perfect so i wanted to show how much it may take to get to a hair goal! Thank you for subscribing !
Amazing journey. Loved the video simple, straight to the point, and lots of pictures. You hair looks amazing!
R Blair Thank you so much & thanks for watching!!!
Great job hanging in there! You faced so many challenges but did not give up! Beautiful hair and Awesome Mega puff pic at the end of the video!
Thanks so much I appreciate you for watching ! Good luck in your hair journey !
Omg great video. What a beautiful hair journey! I’m glad u didn’t give up with all ur hurdles. Thx for sharing.
I’ve been natural for apx 10 yrs wearing sew ins and leaving them n too long..my hair would grow long but would constantly break off and I didn’t take care of it.
Well April 2018, I made up my mind to take care of my hair. I had it cut n a bob near my jawline and decided to wear clip ins instead (and will until it’s bra length) and now March 2019 my hair is a lil past my collar bone. It’s so exciting to see progress. I’m thinking summer 2020 I should be at a perfect natural length to wear my hair out.
I agree the less u play around with ur hair and just pamper it daily with moisture (after discovering ur hair staples) it’ll flourish fast!
Heart-2-Heart TALKS w/ TJ Aw Thank you so much ! And wow 10 years?! That’s amazing I’m sure you learned so much. I’m happy for you starting over it sounds like it’s going well! Stick to your routine your hair could reach your goal sooner! Yay for not giving up on our hair 😊
My family calls it a perm too. I mean we know it’s a relaxer but that’s just the word we use and girllllll you did that! Your hair is beautiful😍😍
Charmer 21 I’m glad I’m not the only one who calls it that some people get so angry 😂 but that you so much !! 😊
Subbedddddd 😍😍😍😍 Been heatless for almost a year now! Keep posting about the progress I’d love to see it all.
Averie Kate Thank you! Just subscribed back! & wow that’s amazing. I’m at 7 months no heat and I’m hoping I make it to a year also!
HEY SOROR!!!💕💚💕💚💕
in the hair Stylist’s defense, chemically damaged ends will heat damage no matter who does it because its already damaged. Loved this video! So inspiring! ✨
Ashli K. Beauty, LLC Hey Soror!!! 💗💚 great point thank you & thanks for watching !!
If you struggled this much, I have no excuse to grow my hair long!!! You're inspiration in my book!!
P.L. Aw thank you! Good luck in your journey just don’t give up!
Gemini😊 Yesss girl i just did my first mini chop 1 month ago and had box braids till today my hair looks preety full rn...But Im glad you got through it👏👏
Tamiyah Ragsdale Hey Gemini 🤗 & omg congrats on your mini chop! Keep hanging in there! Twist outs with perm rods on the ends really got me through the transitioning stage! If I can get through so can you, thanks so much for watching!!
Damn it's taking so long and I don't want to turn back to relaxer.
foreverthea ii You can do it! I have 2 videos on my page related to hair growth, you should check them out! The videos can definitely help you retain length and grow longer hair.
It’s not so bad if you focus on healthy hair rather than length. Healthy hair will grow long. Focusing solely on length makes you think that your routine isn’t working even if it is.
Loved the video. Like a good movie, it kept my attention until the end...it was perfect.
mscherbeare Wow nicest comment ever! Thank you I really appreciate it because the time I put into making it! 💗😊
I can so relate to your natural hair journey I'm trying to grow my hair from my 3rd big chop and which wasn't much from the 2nd but I felt I had damage and this is giving me so much inspiration.
NaturallyCoilyIsta aw thank you! I hope this is the last time you’ll have to chop! It’s so hard getting it right but eventually we do lol
neeeeeee
You need to just say no to heat and color
Naturally Gifted Yes definitely learned the hard way lol. I haven’t had color for 3 years & I’ve drastically reduced heat!
Everything about you is amazing!!
Azziza Robinson aw thank you so much !
Great video Allie ! 💕

When I was in middle school and I saw you around school. I wished I had your hair 😂😭. Lol but at least both of us are thriving now.
Audree Nealy Hey girl! Thanks for checking out my channel! I have tons of advice in different videos to get healthier hair! 💓
When I was about 6 or 5 my mom got just for me and it was the first and last time I used it. A couple days later my hair was STRAIGHT then my mom bought another just for me box but I still have it and I never used it again. Btw I have 4c hair and I have never straightened my hair. Since the time I put just for me in my hair I told my mom I wouldn’t do it again, after that what I mainly wore cornrows box braids and only in 1st grade and 2nd sometimes wore my hair out. Now I only have work cornrows and box braids and I started putting rice water in my hair and hopping it will help with growth .
Btw I’m going to 6th grade and I’m planning on going natural as long as my hair get to a length I like I also am gonna start eating foods that help hair growth
Gamer Kat Productions Omg that sounds great good luck with rice water and hair growth foods! It’s a hard process but just be patience and keep growing !! 💓
Her relaxed hair had the same length as mine but your natural hair is AMAZING!❤️
foreverthea ii Thank you so much! It took a lot of learning to get here 😂
Your hair is gorgeous. Even though you hit a few stumbling blocks you didn't give up on being natural and look where you are today.
Anika Sekayi thank you so much beautiful! It has been hard but so worth sticking it’s out !
I go to IU too! That’s so cool, great journey similar struggles ❤️
Briana Hollins Omg I loved it there! What year are you? I’ve just graduated in May. But thank you, hopefully you don’t experience anymore struggles lol!
Such a beautiful hair journey
Mystic x thank you so much and thanks for watching !

aquiviene thank you so much!!!

Great video! Your hair looks great! Mayy you please do a video on what foods youve ate to achieve your hair growth?
Hi. Goodbye Thank you so much! & Yes I am actually in the process of making a “Food Hair Growth Challenge” !! I’ll be posting it within the next week. The challenge requires you to eat the key hair foods and quantities that I eat each month! Check back on my page this weekend!
Hi. Goodbye video is up!
adorable_allie Thank you so much❤️❤️❤️
Hey Soror! 💕💚 I loooved the video. I’m going through a second natural hair journey now after using so much heat due to my job 😫
Hello BJ Hi Soror! 🤗💚💗 thanks so much for watching!! Trust me you can get through it! I’d recommend monthly protein treatments, weekly deep conditions, and wearing protective styles often! I also have 2 videos on my channel with growth tips!
adorable_allie Yesss! I got to check them out!
Beautiful hair. WOW! Amazing journey tfs
Mahogany Brown Thank you!
great hair, great video. you have traveled a lot! I'm on a natural hair journey after 26 years of being relaxed. it is different
Sonia Rena Thank you so much! And that’s awesome! How are you liking the natural hair ? It’s a lot of work! Lol
adorable_allie I like it, but some days I think about going back 🤔😦. check out my channel Sonia Rena is my RUclips name.
Love the video. Thank you for sharing.
thank you so much!
Girl, let me keep the faith. Im TRYING to grow out my fade. I hate this in between phase so i keep cutting.
P.S. i wish my college yrs was that lit😜
Yes please keep the faith! My sister was literally the same way, spent about 3 years with a short cut trying to go natural. Eventually I told her just keep wearing protective styles if she wanted to cut/ disliked the short phase! And looking at photos of other naturals will keep you motivated! She’s now one year natural! Went from a shaved head to hair touching her neck! You can do it too 😊
im tryna go natural but i keep chickening out 😭 im gonna get a big chop soon! watching this video encouraged me to do it!
djdjjd sdsu It does take some time so plan a few hours lol. And thank you so much i hope you go through with whatever you want to do!
This give my hope ! Imma get there
tamiera stinson aw so happy to help! Stay motivated with time you’ll get there! 💓

What a journey! I love your hair! I'm thinking of making the jump to natural so I'm doing a lot of research. Not ready for the big chop as I still have quite a bit of texturizer in my hair, but I'm trimming it down little by little. I would love to know the foods you've found to stimulate hair growth. Definitely subscribing! Thank you!
Tamara Shelton Thank you so much for subscribing ! I’m so happy you’re doing research. I was the same way and didn’t have the guts to big chop either lol. I actually have a video for the foods i’ve eaten! Check out my page i made it into a growth challenge. I posted my results as well!
@@adorableallie I Big Chopped this month and I love it! It's actually shorter now than on this pic lol. I will definitely check out the foods video!
Tamara Shelton omg congrats & welcome to the natural community 😊. Good luck with the good challenge! & if you haven’t seen it already I have a video with every growth tip i could think of!

Naturally Gifted Thank you! 💓
I miss my natural hair and I'm 11 so my mom put relaxers in my hair when I was around 4, 5, or 6 and I stopped getting them in around late 2018 and mid 2019 I see my natural hair coming and I want to cut off the relaxed ends
Ceice I say do want will make you happy! Natural hair may be hard to do when short, but it grows so fast! Good luck ! I have advise if you need !💓
You’re so gorgeous ❤️
jahadah murphy Aw thank you so much !💓
THanks for sharing !!!
La Shandra villalobos Thank you For Watching!
As soon as you stopped the relaxers, your hair looked stronger, thicker and longer.
Jayd Blak thank you! I am glad my hair changed!
This inspired me to cut my hair... now let me ask my mom:D btw I love box braids
Queen of the ROBLOX Yay! It’ll grow back healthier and fuller for sure & same they’re like my favorite protective style!
You're so beautiful doll!!!
shy kenebrew thank you gorgeous !
Very nice video. At the very beginning of my journey and I’m hating my hair. Did a 6” chop but still have about 3-4 inches of heat damage. Don’t have the heart to cut my hair shorter. My texture sucks. I was told natural hair needs a lot of love. I’m trying, but I’m barley two months in and it’s so hard. 😞
Lynette Rowtie haaa I feel you!! I feel like it’d be easier to just big chop and not manage two completely different textures but I’d look TERRIBLE nearly bald 😐. I’d suggest box braids in for two months then out for a week or two to give your hair love and then put them back in.
Lynette Rowtie Thank you! You don’t have to cut the heat all at once! I only cut my heat damage once a month. It does need love so it stays moisturized. Just hang in there, my sister grew her hair from a low shave and hated every minute of it. Now she’s one year natural & loves it. Find inspiration from other naturals, that helped me not give up!
SoYo... thank you for the advice ☺️ all the best with your natural hair journey.
adorable_allie... thank you for your response. I appreciate the support and advice. As a woman of color, I put so much value in my hair and it’s length and less on my inner self; I’m sure many women of color can relate. so when I did the 6 inch chop, I felt ugly and hated my hair. I still do. I hate seeing the different textures, but I do know it will take time, and I have to be patient and love my hair regardless. It is hard to picture what it can be, when I see what it is now. I watch a lot of natural hair videos to find inspiration as well as courage to continue this natural journey. I never used relaxers, but I always got my hair blown out. So it’s hard. I’m going through withdrawal from the blow dryer. Lol!
Lynette Rowtie Aww I hope your love for your hair and length grows! Just wear it out more often, and take photos to document how it changes! I wasn’t very confident in my hair when I went natural but by wear my short afro out more, I grew to love it! I’d also recommend putting in protective styles like braids or twists. I do this when I miss a blowout to prevent myself from getting one! lol & it helps you have fun with temporary long hair!
This is so amazing and wow 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
John Covington aw thank you!
Your hair looks great
Batgirl P thank you!
Beautiful 👏🏽🦋
Ashanti Brianna thank you!💗

Ashanti Brianna thank you!
Wow!!! Simply Beautiful 😊I'm transitioning now from Relax to Natural. I'm 15 months in but I haven't Big Chopped bcuz I really don't how to take care of it so I wear it in a bun everyday. Do you have and tips for me?
thank you so much and thanks for watching! I would say be sure to hydrate and keep moisturized. Try to not pull bun too tight so you don’t have breakage from hair ties. Switching up the style may also help! I watched a ton of videos to help with style ideas before chopping.
Your length is perfect honestly the best length is bra strap I had bra strap length but I got heat damage and had to cut my hair 😢
Thank you so much! I agree such a good length! If it makes you feel better i’ve also had to cut my hair again since then but it grew back! Keep that hair maintenance up it’ll come back in no time!
When you were relaxed and left you hair out and it was stiff I felt that
Naomi Akwaah haha the struggle was so real
I'm transitoning and it's been 6 months and i feel like it is taking forever to grow
you got this i promise you’ll look back and be shock how fast your hair grew !
You came to Ghana
My country
I'm trying to grow my hair as long as possible.... Looking up to you 😘
Cali Anne I absolutely love Ghana 😭💗 I was Ama there ! Thank you so much you got this just don’t give up!

Cali Anne You got this! Thank you!😊💗💗
I've been natural for 3 years but my hair is still so short and won't grow it's my own fault for not treating it better I just wish it didn't take so much work :/

Miyah’sLife Forever No i do it on wet/ damp hair because I add a lot of products. I have a tutorial on short box braids!
What foods did you eat? 😊💘 Because I'm struggling. So unhealthy recently 😂😂😂 Beautiful hair goals queen! ❤
Mrs.Potato Head thank you! Check out my other videos i have 2 videos about the foods! One as a growth challenge and one as my results

Afaf M Well it is up to you to decide to stop getting (soft and beautiful). I personally decided to stop and I like my hair better natural. It is thicker and grows longer.
@@adorableallie thank you so much ❤
What products did you use during the journey? Such as shampoo and conditioner, curl creams, etc. My hair is big it's like it won't even fall down when I take my pineapple down. Any suggestions?
Jasmaine Morton As far as hair not falling down from a pineapple, I can relate! That’s why J created a video for my night / stretch routine that doesn’t involve pineapples. You should check it out! As far as products, I do have a video doing a braid-out and using my favorite products!
adorable_allie Great I will check them out. Thank you!
Jasmaine Morton Thank you too For Watching! & btw I wouldn’t recommend any of the products I was using early in my journey lol. But now I primarily use Shea Moisture products.
Your hair is really dry then. 😢✨ Try deep conditioning and hydrating it more regularly. 💕
Your nature hair is beautiful you are s nature queen
Ladashia Saders thank you so much!
Can you make more videos on what you eat?
