  • i want to start all over and do the BC butttt im scared and i dont think i'll look right with short hair(people say heads to big for short hair) and plus ive always had long hair my whole life. But i want to do it any advise? and i love the style they cut it in!

  • Lol! How ironic...! If I didn't know how much it would damage my hair, I would grab a pair scissors and just attack my relaxed ends!

  • You know,I used to be upset when you cut off your hair.... until my own hair started slowly acting up :/. Not I am not sure if my hair is damaged or not... but if it is I am going to do a second big chop :/... I would rather have short healthy hair that would grow out again than hair that is stunned in growth because I have those damaged pieces on. (btw I believe it is color damage, the front of my hair no longer likes to curl so it is a big frizzy mess of bangs :/)

  • love it

    

  • wow you're really great

  • It looks beautiful!!!

  • Just asking a if a very good brush maybe cost alot, and a very good oil products. like 200 strocks A Dad my wrist hurts.

  • Yea, like one side hair cuts whats up like that. Looking like a he/she on holloween.

  • I feel like spitting up, Ugks.

  • OMG...U R STUNNING!!!

  • Absolutely stunning Taren! Love, love, love your hair!

  • Love It!!! You Can be and are Fly with short hair!!

  • OMG ITS SO CUTE!!!! I've been fighting the urge to cut mine, your encouraging me to do it lol (my family wont let me sigh)

  • With my fro,I use the Huetiful Hair Steamer facial attachment on the days following my hair being washed & hydrated. It's AMAZING! THE BEST for revitalizing my curls w/o re-wetting or using product.

    Basically, I twist my hair at night & sleep w/my satin bonnet. When I take a shower, I let the steam get to my twists. When I get out & untwist my hair, I let the Huetiful facial steam run through my hair after I untwist it. My kinky twists come out in a week. I'll post a video so you can see.

  • LOVED the long hair, but I must say the short cut is absolutely GORGEOUS on you. I'm growing my hair out as well and rotating between kinky twist braids & curly fro. I'm doing a 1 year no heat challenge so I can get back to my authentic texture. As a natural hair Vlogger, I want to speak from the perspective of a not only a str8 (blow dry/flat iron) natural, but also a str8 (strictly) natural w/ my curly hair.

    Running out of space, so I'm about to leave another comment & give a twa tip. :-)

  • Very nice. Short hair shows off our beautiful facial features

  • Love Love the cut!! It very cute.. I just wanted to say that you and many of the naturalista's vloggers inspired me to make a change for the better and big chop my own hair to make an define my own rules of what beauty is... And I just wanted to say thank you because had I not educated myself on natural hair my opinion of it would still be in an ignorant state of mind...So thank you for doing what you do and keeping us informed -3

  • Your hair is very lovely, and you were very brave. I'm so glad you are doing what's great for YOU! Your comfort level with yourself comes through and highlights the beauty that is you, which has very little to do with your hair! Keep smiling.

  • Gorgeous!

  • Although you did the BC, your hair looks very nice. Fits your face!

  • Love it!! Rock it girl!

  • Comment removed

  • Your hair is gorgeous either long or short! Your new style looks amazing! Good job on following your desire for short hair.

  • OMG it looks great! My cut was EXACTLY like that when I BC'd. Have fun with the short hair while you can, it will grow back before you know it

  • its so cute and eclectic looking it fits your facial structure but i do have a question for your curls what did you do to get them like that whats your technique?

  • Love it!!!

  • The last time I had that kind of confidence and bravery...i pierced my own ear, regretted it later though cos i was too high on adrenaline to remember to sterilise the needle -__- I want to BC too...but I just can't like..i can't. what if it never grows back? O.o

  • I love the style. You favor Tisha Campbell a lot

  • I've gotten a big chop before and I didn't really know which products to use or how to take care of my hair properly. I ended up putting a texturizer in plus i started flat iron my hair more. It was horrible for my hair! My curls are similar to yours and after seeing this video I am really considering doing another big chop! :D thanks so much for all your videos...they are so inspiring!!!

  • i did you BC as well it was a great feeling

  • i did you BC as well it was a great feeling!

  • i love ur hair i could use a lil guidence with mine, ill send a pic if u provide an email addy...

  • love the hair

  • Wow! You did the do! Looks great !

  • its pretty

  • nice! my boyfriend says no misheae short hair is too common i wont like it (but he loves my curly roots) i want to BC soooo bad. i know he will like it because I will love it. my head is big so i need to find a style I can do that fits the shape of my head. i dont want a twa but i want a mohawk style kind of.. i might just chop it all and see what kind of pattern i come out with

  • Beautiful I'm glad you cut your hair!! I can't wait to see the products you choose to you on your beautiful hair.

  • I love you because you care so much about us newbies! You thought enough of us to cut your hair. Now that I'm new and just got my BIG CHOP, I feel like you and I will be growing our hair out together! Thanks so much!

  • Very cute cut

  • I just recently chopped my hair. My hair was just past my shoulders, the ends were dead, middle was texturizer and the roots were natural curl. long story short 'a hotmess' lol anyways i wanted to know what products do you use?

    thanks in advance

  • Thank you for the inspiration girl!! I would of never thought of myself cutting my hair short. The shortest I ever cut was shoulder length. Now I feel like I can be more creative with my natural hair. :)

  • u are mixed so ur hair will grow back fast. that is not true for everyone.

  • @tiannagal4u being mixed has NOTHING to do with air growing. u seem ignorant

  • Okay yes. The hair is cute. But I am SO heart broken!!! (somebody had to say it!) You had the prettiest giant curls I had EVER seen. Ever. Your curls were literally the inspiration that helped me to get through the tough stages while growing my hair out over the past year. Well, I guess the curls were memorialized here on youtube- but still! Waaahhh!

  • This was very cute I'm sure its grown out a lot but its adorable

  • Aww, super nice hair cut!!

  • YOU LOOK FABULOUS! HOT SEXY SOPHISTICATED! I'm on my journey to all natural hair as well. No heat. Goal six months, then I will do a length check. APL right now going for BSL NEXT YEAR. Congrats on your big chop, you wear it well.

  • So in love with it! I just got the motivation to do the Big Chop myself, looking forward to it! Thanks Taren! :)

  • 2400 hater LOVE that this prett girl chopped off that GOOD-LONG HAIR.... Sigh, have a field day with my comment Tarbabys..lol

  • You look cute, spunkie & edgy!!!

  • I did another big chop at the end of March too. I was getting tired of my hair and it was a little damaged from when I had it straigthened in December of '10.

  • going to see melanie soon, thanks taren.

  • I LOVE the texture of your hair. Mine is just really coarse =\ no body

  • you are sooo pretty that cut looks great on you!!!!!!!

  • this is fierce. you look like phylis hyman.

  • @knobylob I agree, you are exactly right and that's a huge compliment!!!

  • You were a transitioner?

  • i big chopped on june 8th (2011) and have loved it every since but my hair grows soooooo slowly!!!! any suggestions on hair products for better/healthier/faster growth??? thanks!!! <3

  • This is a cute cut

  • OMG, girl, your hair is BRUTALLY HOT. I just had a Deva cut consult and am going back to get a dupe of your style TODAY or tomorrow. Just waiting for a call back from the salon.

    You look good, kid.

  • BLEEP!

    

  • Hello. Are these Salons located in N.Y.? I'm in between a perm and going natural and my hair under my wig is a dry mess:( I've been searching for a salon to try to tame my hair. Please let me know the locations/#s to these Salons. Great cut! Thanks :)

  • @Astutechick Actually she is....so ignorant, I guess people think if they think something it must make it true....

  • Wow! Still beautiful long or short!

  • sssoooooo preetttyy!!! very sexy!

  • Girl I had to do a retake and check your upload date cause I didnt even know you cut your hair. It is cute. Yes short hair is sassy. When I did my BC everyone told me I looked "sexier". But I want the big hair, so I will be growing mine out.

    My regimine every other day I soak it completely. Conditioner in the shower. Detangle was a breeze. Kinky Kurly Pudding didnt work (need more weight) Used Eco gel and shea butter. Shake Shake and go. Enjoy Beautiful!

  • Love your cut, it looks awesome!!

  • You cut your hair off on my 21st birthday! :D Uh ohhh, it's a sign. I need to chop! lol

  • Beautiful haircut!!!!

  • ur hair was healthy so I doubt it was heat damage.... It looks great but i do miss ur big hair!!! <3 Love it tho!

YOU ARE FLY (:

  • Well I'm 13 and I was on and off, natural one year, then the next yr I would get sock of my hair, and then relax it... That kind thing went on since I was about 6 to maybe 11. When I was about eleven i stopped getting perms. I liked it for awhile, but then when it was get yr hair done time, it was a nightmare.. So I went ahead and got another perm.. My hair started to grow at the roots after a while and I found the natural hair community on YouTube. That inspired me 2 go natural . I wanted to b

  • @taren916 Hey! I finally big-chopped yesterday! Thank you for the inspiration! x

  • Gorgeous....

  • Omg I love your hair.... I have been wanting to cut my hair for a while now. But I was too scared to do it. Since I accidently cut it when taking out a sew in, I was trying to find a style to cut it in. I think this is how I want it. Thanks!!

  • SO PRETTY! I AM LOVING IT!

  • GORGEOUS!!!!!

  • For months I've been wanting (NEEDING) to cut my hair. After I saw your video I cut my hair this weekend. I LOVE IT!!! I may never grow my hair out again (at least not in the back. I was tired of worrying about my hair and regreting the mistakes I'd made in my natural journey. I won't tell you your cut is gorgeous because you already know, but I will say thanks for the inspiration.

  • where have i been? lol. I guess im a busy subbie that recently watched your post on the world natural hair show and i was suprised to see your big chop. anyone that follows you knows that your spontaneous so i guess im not totally surprised. either way, you rock because of your fearlessness and effort to inspire us all.

  • SO CUTE!  If only I can get so brave!!!! ...and you did it just in time for summer! :-) I really love it!

  • I love it! It's something for me to get my eyes use to... My lil sister calls u, "la diosa"which means "goddess"She really loves ur style

    .... it looks great!!! I guess ur vids are going to target shorter hair NOW :-( much love...

  • beautiful!

  • i effin LOVE it!!!! LOL LOOOOOOVE it. idk how my hair would look natural...if the curls look this nice id soooo rock this cut and enjoy watching my hair grow

  • Looks very nice!

  • Wow your so beautiful. You look good either way.

  • your hair looks great!!! its edgy i think you look cute with that style

  • dont like it

  • VÈRY nice cut!! Suits ur face PERFECTLY!! And it reminds me of the 80s : ), and thats very cool being an 80s baby! hehe.. stylish and edgy! Go girl!!

  • Oh my gosh, your cut came out super cute! I love the way it's tapered in the back! I think people get scared of cuts because they think there's not much variety but the style you have there are a lot of possibilities. Congrats. :)

  • it's beautiful....

  • I love it on u. So u do plan on growing it back out. I did my big chop like an amber rose type big chop n i'm loving the look so happy i did it i got 1 of those scoody type things to wear OMG hott u should try 1

  • you looked great with long hair ....you STILL look great with short hair :) i remember when i cut my hair into a bob and so many peopled asked "whyy?!" so i know what you mean.

  • I posted a comment before but don't see it. Any how I was saying that I love the smaller curls and the shape of the cut. If you try any twist outs or anything else do a tutorial =)

  • I really like the hort hair and how it makes your curls smaller. I can't wait to see what styles you do with it. Show some tutorials now that its shorter if you decide to try some twist outs or anything. I love it =)

  • I just love love love your new short hairdo. I hate it too when people ask me why I cut my hair. I went from hair down to my butt to a boy cut...loved it!

  • YOU GO GIRL!!! Some people are just scared.. I say.. Its just hair!! why not! U look cute! WERK IT

  • I absolutely love it!

  • i know how you feel. i remember when i cut my hair all off into a pixie cut, and people were shocked, the thing is i looked really nice in that hair style. But i found out i am a long hair girl. i love all the many things you can do with long hair. Yet i still miss having the care free short hair. Because it always looks fresh and healthy.

  • Very cute! I wonder what it will look like as it grows out ( if you choose to grow it out) since the front is a little longer than the back...Very inspiring, tho :-)

  • You rock it long.or short! I can't wait to see what styles you come up with because Lord knows I need a little inspiration for my longer than TWA but too short to do anything with hair.

  • I LOVE IT! ^_^

  • nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooo! YOUR HAIR WAS SO BEAUTIFUL ! :( 

  • it looks amazing, I get the same thing.."why did you do that" or "OMG, what were you thinking?" and its just crazy, but it looks really good so continue to do YOU!!

  • I love it, looks great!!!!

  • I think it's beautiful!

  • why? because it's liberating!!! although i'm not ready yet. lol in due time

  • Your hair looks wonderful! I really like the cut. Thanks for sharing this video.

  • its beautiful :) i love short hair too

  • I L O V E IT!!!! YOU LOOK GREAT!!!

  • I love it, it really fits your face.

  • Really really cute!! I'm glad you are brave enough to do this. A lot of times people can get caught up in long hair but we should be able to rock our hair however and have it look beautiful! Has it been easy to maintain thusfar?? Also I was thinking your hair is cut well to prevent bed head!! haha (:

  • you look like singer mya

  • OMG. You really did chop it off. I wore my hair in the same cut 20 years ago. I am so glad this style is still current. LOOKS GREAT! But I still can't believe you cut off so much.

  • i love it!!! i am so scared to cut my hair but i want to......

    now i would want a similar cut to yours...how do i go about explaining to my telling my stylist the type of cut you have?

  • your cut is sharp!

  • I just cut my hair tonight. I feel bare without my hair but i had to do it in order for it to properly grow. It was badly damage, i kept using perms. The shit was getting on my nerves how it wouldnt grow back properly. But watching your videos and other ppl natural hair touturial videos inspired me to do this. And by the way you look beautiful with your haircut.

  • Your hair is very fly... I really like it. Been watching your videos for a while and finally decided to subscribe. Your such an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!

  • I Love it Taren! It looks good on you! Im new to your channel and I enjoy all your videos, they have definitely helped me on my natural journey!!!!! :)

  • Its looks really pretty on you taren!!! Im new to your channel and I love all your vids, its definitely helped me on my natural journey!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!! :)

  • Omg!!! Your hair is sooo fly! I LOVE it! My hair is very similar to yours and I have always wanted to cut mine short too but have been too scared. Now, I'm seeing that there is nothing to be scared of. Your hair is sooo fly, omg! Love it!

  • Comment removed

  • i love it

    

  • See you look beautiful with a short cut just the same as the long hair. Not everyone can pull off short hair. Me I don't think I look nice with short hair because of the shape my face and jaw bone is structure. I like it on you:*)

  • Taren...this is so cute and adorbale! i absolutly love it! I think you look like Halle Berry hahaha you look like a model (:

  • just toooo cute! i love it!!!!!!!

  • Girl you know that hair hair cut is to flyyyy!!!

  • Looks fab! I've been feeling to cut my hair like this but doubt I will be brave enough to do it!

  • OMG! I just discovered you today and you went from long hair to this! I am shocked, but congrats! It looks super good!

  • DOPENESS!

    

  • Absolutely beautiful i love it..

  • i like it.. its cute

  • Love it Love it LOVE IT!!!

  • Love the new look! Perfect for summer. Melanie cut my hair last month and she is good at what she does.

  • i love it!

  • This vid has completely inspired me to go ahead and cut my hair. I have long hair and it's getting to the point where it's just SO HARD to maintain.

    I have been in love with short hair since Nia Long's short days, then I completely fell in true love ever since Rhianna chopped her hair back in 08' and started experimenting with cuts.

    Then when Megan Good cut her hair I was pretty much HOOKED, but was just too scared to do it. But if you can do it, I definitely can! Thank you!

  • Great short cut for summer! You look stunning as usual. You can easily ROCK short or long hair. Go TAREN!

  • you hair looks great like this

  • Love it!

    

  • CUTE. See you in ATLANTA next weekend!

  • I definitely like it !
