It’s been a little over a month since I’ve Big chopped my hair and I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. My was hair was damaged and I’m happy that I’ve done this. This has given me so much confidence and I stand a little straighter now knowing that I don’t have hair to hide behind ❤️
Crissy Angel Yas🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. Keep shining!!!!
U are absolutely positively gorgeous
Thank you so much 💕
fellow "girl with big curly hair" here...im finally going through with this just because i need a change and yeah i want to see who i am without all this hair!
@Joy R YAS🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾! I hope you are happy with your big chop 💗
@@LoriLoveTV got my hair done as a final hurrah to big hair and im kinda scared now (still booked the cut) lol. Very nervous but I knownits because I'm comfortable with this. Yeah I deff have feelings like will I be this pretty but as everyone has said no one has looked bad with short hair!
@@Joy35 You will still be pretty with short hair especially because you will still be you!!! If you’re still nervous when the time comes for your appointment, you can also do a medium length haircut so that it’s not so drastic and if you like that then you can go shorter. Whatever look you choose, if you’re ready and open to embrace your new look and you’ll be fine.
Shaving my hair while watching this. My heart is off the roof 😭
I hope you like your new cut 🤞🏾❤️🤞🏾
Thank you for doing a pros video too!
This is definitely helping me decide to finally do a big chop. Thanks so much for posting this!
I had never thought about how much easier it would be to go swimming with shorter hair but that makes so much sense! When I was little my mom would always braid my hair every time before I went swimming so it would be less painful to deal with afterwards. As I got older I would just stop putting my head under water when I did swim so I wouldn't have to take the time to braid it first!
I used to completely avoid water because any version of moisture would cause my hair to get frizzy and revert back to it’s natural curl pattern. Braids are always the absolute best solution and of course wearing hair in its natural state when swimming is the ultimate freedom 🙌🏾💕😊
Hello and thank you. I did the big chop two weeks ago. I am having a hard time understanding how to care for my hair. After 25 years of wearing dreadlocs. You have giving me inspiration.
Thank you, Denise! It's trial and error for all of us. After a while, it gets easier.
Thank you SO FRKN MUCH for listing the pros in the description box for those who don't have the time to watch the whole video! You're gorgeous btw :)
Love from France
You’re welcome and thank you 😊
I like you because you explain everything step by step and you show the back. And no unnecessary talking love you 🥰
Thanks so much for the love, Carolyn 🥰 And thanks for watching!
I AGREE WITH YOU about having shorter hair! I did the Big Chop almost 10 years ago (this coming March) and went as short as the style I'm wearing in my profile pice almost 2 years ago and the ease of wearing my hair this way is PRICELESS.
I LOVE YOUR STYLE, IT COMPLIMENTS YOU VERY WELL 😊
Tiffany D. Golden Thank youuuu!!! There is nothing like being able to spray moisturizer in my hair, patting my twa and walking out the door LOL Btw, I zoomed in to see your big chop and it is bomb!! You are gorgeous too 😍
@@LoriLoveTV awww, Thank you so much!!! The convenience of ot all fits my lifestyle perfectly. Plus, the hot flashes are not nice to me by any means lol
I've subscribed to your channel too as a result of watching your videos. I'm glad I did 😊

I just did my big chop and I love it. I am super excited to do and no do all the things you mentioned.
Yas!!! Welcome to the cut life, enjoy 💛
I just got a shape up two days ago so this is the first time I have worn my hair out in 9 years
Cheebi Umi YAS!!! Go Girl!!! Rock your natural hair with confidence!!!! 💕
great vid! love the buzzcut:)
Thank youuuu
I’m considering a big chop right now vs transition to natural hair. I have been hesitant because I’ve never been good at doing my own hair. I’ve had relaxers pretty much my entire life. The low maintenance of the big chop is very appealing-being able to swim often with no fuss. I think my hair is 4d so I do worry that even doing a style with poppin curls is going to take a lot of work. I get tired just curling my hair in the back! I can’t imagine doing tiny twists all around! Your color compliments your skin beautifully! Thank you for sharing your journey!
Thank you so much for the compliments. It is a pleasure to share my journey especially if it’s helping others. So far I have experienced 2 healthy hair journeys-the transition and the big chop.My first journey was over 10 years ago when I decided to transition from relaxed to natural. Just like you I had relaxers almost my entire life so when I decided to go natural I didn’t even know what my natural hair looked like and I certainly didn’t know how to manage it because I was completely dependent upon my stylist. I decided to transition from relaxed to natural so that in case I changed my mind I would’ve at least had kept my length at the time. That was THE most difficult transition ever. Managing both textures required 2 different techniques. My relaxed ends were extremely tangled when my hair was wet but my natural roots detangled best when wet. It would take me HOURS to detangle my hair. I would have to set a day aside just for Wash days. After a year, I cut off the relaxed ends because I couldn’t take the maintenance anymore. To this day when I think back I totally regret transitioning that entire year because I wasted so much of my life styling my hair. I have a video explaining my hair story on my channel which is specifically helpful when it comes to detangling your hair properly so that you can maintain your length. That technique allowed me to maintain my length especially as I transitioned to natural hair. Check that out if you decide to transition ( ruclips.net/video/nAqtc2-n-5E/видео.html ). Also, if you follow people on RUclips for inspo during your transition, make sure you follow someone with hair closest to your hair type. For me the most helpful person closest to my hair type that I found later in my journey was Naptural85. I wish I had known about her earlier in my journey; it would’ve helped prevent a lot of trial and error. So definitely follow her if you decide to transition. This is my fav video of Whitney’s ( ruclips.net/video/g6ntmGdXXUw/видео.html ) because all of my twist outs were a big frizzy mess until I found this technique. Now the big chop has proved to be the best decision for me and my lifestyle. I had heat damage and I immediately got rid of it with the big chop. Plus, all I had to do was get up and go in the morning and shampoo once a week, you can’t beat that!! It has started to get harder to just get up and go now that my hair has grown in the past four months that I have not been to the salon during the quarantine. I’ve entered that awkward phase where I don’t know what to do with my hair seeing that I don’t wanna spend the time to work to define my coils. If my hair was long I’d just keep it in a bun and be good but I can’t do that now. It doesn’t bother me because if my hair was longer during this quarantine I’d be stuck spending hours upon hours detangling my hair again, so I am super grateful for the big chop. If I find that I miss my hair long, I could just wear a wig but so far I still love my big chop. These are just a few things to think about. You definitely have to make the decision that works best for you. I hope you love and grow from whatever decision you make.
@LoriLoveTV thank you so much for sharing your journey?
I Got a big chop and I am sooooo happy with my hair. My Curly hair has never been happier. I thought my hair was wavy but it was just the weight pulling it down. I had the longest hair for so long. I loved it and cared for it. It was healthy but when I transitioned it was a mess!
So here I say. JUST DO IT!
Tajra Pintol Yas!!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I’m so glad to hear that you’re happy with your big chop. Thank you for sharing 💕
Best video!!! I just cut my hair off on Friday and I love!!! I am not longer letting my hair define my beauty!

@@jemts5586 ❤️❤️❤️
🙌🏾
I so want to do it…..however I’m fighting female balding….believing in my healing b4 the chop!
I love what you said about having a big chop , your forced to embrace your face , basically you can’t hide hide behind any hair , your forced to focus on other things especially about yourself!. Thanks for your video and sharing!
Thank you so much, Diamond. This is exactly what I want people to take away from this video ♥
I like your vibes.
Lily Raimey Thanks that’s really sweet of you to say 💕
I just did the big chop.... I just did it.... i have no regrets but the novelty needs to be set in
I am so glad that you have no regrets🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾!!!! Welcome to the cut life 💗
I’m about to do it y’all ✨
I hope you love your new hairstyle 🙌🏾
@@LoriLoveTV I do!! Im so glad I did it 💪🏾
I'm thinking seriously about it because I used sun in spray on my naturally dark hair, and now he's pretty damaged. Thank for all the interesting info.
Glad you found this video interesting, Brittany! Hopefully, you have trimmed away the damage and your hair is thriving!
You're very pretty and you wear it well! 😍
Thank youuuu 💗
You're beautiful and so cool, thank you so much for sharing. 💚😎💚😎
You’re welcome!!! Thank you for being so sweet💖
im going to have a big chop soon im scared and excited i think im afraid of my hair still not growing like rn or going to my shoulders again my hair was long as a child i was a messy girl and i got into dirt A LOT then all my hair just came out my mama started to hot comb and flat iron it now its heat damaged and it falls into clumps from a little tap of a comb and brush i use to think heat on hair was good for me but i now know how little i knew it makes me scared but this video told me its ok i know its better to start over ty
Yes! Less is more when it comes to using heat. If you decide to big chop, just know that with healthy hair practices, it should grow back just fine. Best wishes on your journey.
i think ill get a big chop! ive been growing my hair for a couple of years since my previous haircut which was extremely short and honestly, i dont like it. i think starting over would be good, especially since im going to a new school. another thing is, my forehead is one of my biggest insecurities. i really wanna tackle it so maybe a big chop can force me to tackle it head on because having a big forehead is nothing i can control so i shouldnt feel bad about it!! i really appreciate this video and the message you're sending, ive always been kinda ashamed of my natural hair so starting over might rekindle that love i had for it. tysm for this video :)
@dez That is so brave of you to be willing to tackle your biggest insecurity. Did you big chop yet? I hope you found that wearing your hair short is not as bad as it seems and your forehead is just one of the uniques qualities that make you You. We are all beautiful and it is most noticed when we are confident in ourselves. Keep being you💛
@@LoriLoveTV tysm! i did get a big chop and its the happiest ive been with my hair in like forever, i cant thank you enough for your wonderful video and comment!
@@dez1771 You are very welcome!!!! I am so glad that you are happy with your hair. Thank you for sharing💕
I think you look beautiful I love it girl
That’s So Dezarae Thank you so much!!!! 😊
The black joy is so real. I need to do it. Like why am I dreading going swimming?!
I remember those days. Hanging out at the pool party but not getting in the pool. Getting mad at the beach because the waves knocked me down and my hair got wet😤. Having short hair has given me the most freedom I’ve ever had with my hair. My life is so much easier. If you don’t wanna cut your hair this is a good time for braids. You can cleanse your hair after you swim and still maintain your style with braids or twists.
@@LoriLoveTV I’ve been doing braids and even they have some downsides, big chop is on the horizon for me
Hi, I'm 15 years old and I'm considering doing the big chop(after I lose weight) because Idk how to manage my hair. I'm half Jamaican and half Italian so I have a fro. My dad nor his side of the family was around to teach me to do my hair and it's been sososo hard to try and learn to manage and it's damaged. My mom(Italian) doesn't know how to handle my hair so she suggested I cut it. I'm really considering it and when someone tells me I shouldn't do something it makes me want to do it and so many people told me not to cut it and now I REALLY can't wait to cut it especially since I've seen your vids
Also I feel like if I cut it I'll be able to grow with my hair and learn to manage it along to way
“When someone tells me I shouldn't do something it makes me want to do it”. OMG I am the same way! LOL “No” and “impossible” are my least favorite words so much so that when I was told that my tightly coiled natural hair could not do anything but just be a fro, I set out to prove the opposite...I did every style I wanted on my own and each style turned out bomb!!! Naptural85 was my favorite channel to watch when my hair was long. She helped me get the perfect twistout every time. You may find helpful tips on how to manage your fro on her channel. Be sure to cut your hair only when you are truly ready because it is a drastic change that may take some time to get used to. Whatever you decide, I hope you enjoy the journey.
@@katherineblake8780 ❤️❤️❤️
I started chopping yesterday but left some curls but I’m ready to just cut it all off.. I need to fall in love with my hair without the damage, without having to do so much to fix it, it’s time
I hope you like your new hair cut ❤
I after this I’m considering it more
No regrets here! If you big chop, I hope you love it as much as I do❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
You mad beautiful💙
And you mad sweet!!! Thank youuuu 💖
I’m 13 and used to have really good hair now it’s very damaged and I wanna big chop my hair :( I have had mixed thoughts about it but I wanna start over and get my good hair back :) your videos are helping make my decision:) I’m gonna cut it ;)
I’m so happy I could help. Remember you can always transition by cutting your hair little by little too. Make sure you are 100% ready to cut your hair before you cut it so that you don’t have any regrets 🤗
I NEED HELP... I'm honestly considering this, the only thing stopping me is a front section of my head doesn't curl at all not even to the root. I've been oiling it up with JMC and trying to manipulate it with twists to curl it but it won't go. I believe I have 4a hair but a looser texture of 4a. After washing my hair its jus so dry and not good. The rest of my hair curling wise is okay but it still spilt at the ends and damaged. I haven't put it under heat and honestly have been trying to keep it healthy. I think ill give it to the end of July and if nothing happens ill do it but I'm honestly scared and don't really know what's going to happen.
Maintaining a healthy meal plan that includes eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking plenty of water, getting adequate rest and doing your best to live a stress free lifestyle can help our hair thrive. If your hair is not curling because it is damaged, it will eventually grow in healthy. In order to get rid of damaged hair or split ends you can gradually trim your hair over time, you do not have to big chop. Also, setting the front section ofyour hair with perm rods may help it curl so it can blend with the rest of your curls. If you are not 100% ready to big chop, you definitely shouldn’t. Make sure you are fully confident with whatever you decide to do with your hair because it need time to grow back and you will have to live with whatever choice you make.
I straightened my hair all throughout middle school and 2 years of highschool entering my senior year I want it chopped off I want healthy curls I want my shrinkage back some parts of my head don’t even got curls no more it was waves smh 😒
I called myself trying to go back natural a year ago and I am stuck with a mini fro that just will not grow I tried everything I could to get it to sprout and it just will not sprout oils won't work deconditioning won't work eating healthy and I can't find someone to braid it so the only thing I think that will work for my hair is to just shave it all off I'm thinking about doing a big chop before the new year gets here.
Could it be shrinkage? I haven’t cut my hair in about 10 months. When I stretch my hair it reaches my shoulder now but my wash and go still looks like a TWA. The shrinkage is undefeated LOL
My hair matted up and tangled I'm tender headed before the big chop
The big chop is a great start to a new hair journey ❤️
I love your entire energy. Shared your video with a close friend & stylist as she recently got the big chop & my bro (master barber/cosmetologist) will likely cut/style her soon. @giftedfit1 (IG) to collaborate. I plan my own YT channel- fitness & film videos. Not an advocate of commenting often nor of getting lost in SM but I wanted to speak -King
SuperSaiyan SerendipitousSensualSeer Thank youuuu 😊
What are the different types of short haircuts
Tapered styles, short cuts with designer parts and different colors!!!! There’s plenty to choose from on Pinterest and Instagram🌼
So would it be best to use clippers or scissors for a big chop cuz I’m soo ready to cut it all off and start fresh.
Either one works. It just depends on the look you’re going for. I personally prefer clippers because the guards give me more control over the length. If you choose to use scissors, make sure you get shears which are specifically designed for cutting hair. Maybe a friend can help cut your hair with the scissors so they can actually see the length which ensures that your haircut is even. I show how easy it is to use clippers in my TWA Cut and Color video. I hope you like your new hair cut 🤍
Are you gonna grow it back?
Lily Raimey I have been maintaining this length because it’s such low maintenance. Not sure when or if I’ll grow it back as long as it was 😊
How often do you have to get it reshapened?
@Trinity Lawrence Once a month 😊
I did a big chop now I don't feel beautiful
Just know that you're beautiful with or without hair because you are still you! You just have a different hair style. Hopefully, by now, your hair has grown in enough to style it in a way that makes you feel more like yourself. Sending you love ♥♥♥
@@LoriLoveTV Hi thank you so much beautiful 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
