My natural hair journey : 8 months of transitioning._0001.wmv

[telynch7]

Well....I have just started. I've been going back and forth for a couple of months but I have finally made up my mind. My last relaxer was in October 2011. The videos have been a big help and motivating. I will keep watching for inspiration. :))

[deltadiva35]

@telynch7 I am glad that you found it inspiring. My journey has been frustrating at times, but then I get reminded of how this is one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life to except myself the way I am. Please keep me informed of how your journey is going.

[deltadiva35]

@telynch7 Am a bit commical too I'm sure. I am soooo country. I think that's why I have not made videos in awhile. I do have a lot of pics of my journey on facebook. Maybe I will start making new videos soon and putting a collage of my pictures together to share with the youtube family.

it has been about 3 months for me  and this is so hard

[nadi322]

@Deni0417 I've been going for about 4 months. I cheat by wearing half wigs. Get a curly one and it wont be hard to blend the front of your hair. If you would like a website to look for them let me know :)

[deltadiva35]

@nadi322 Yes, please share this information with me. I would love it and like changing up my look.

[deltadiva35]

@Deni0417 How is your journey going? Sorry I am just getting a chance to respond to this. Life has been sooooo busy.

[TheSmartista]

@Deni0417 Omg it took me 3 TRIES! But the final time I quit and HATED it, now 1yr and 6 months natural and it was the Best decision ever

i love this song its my alarm clock lol but lovely hair journey

[deltadiva35]

@jamaicangal1991 Thank you so much. I am sorry that I am late responding. I appreciate the compliment.

When I did comb my hair I treated it like it was already natural and used a wide tooth comb and and started combing from the ends to the root. When it's time to chop off the ends and you've had enough you'll know when it's time.

[deltadiva35]

Hello....... Transitioning is a personal choice that I chose. The experience won't be the same for everyone. It is a lot of work transitioning, but it actually wasn't as bad for me as I've heard others say. I was lucky enough to find a natural stylist that helped me through the transition and I am thankful. I wore a lot of braid outs and twist outs with the ends set on rod rollers. I wore a lot of protective styles that did not require me to comb my hair too much.

lovely pics!

[deltadiva35]

@tamptha Thanks!!

[MsJesusluv1]

wow!!! well I have very full and thick hair wen my hair is relaxt! am transitioning naww...it may seem like a silly Q bt will my hair be twice as thick!!!

[macbethsoliloquy]

I've relaxed my hair on and off for the past 7 years but i never chopped it all off. if you look really hard, my hair has long segments of intense curls followed by relaxed hair and then some curly and so forth as I only relaxed the roots back in the day. i haven't relaxed my roots for the past 2 years yay me! but my question is if having the mixture of relaxed and natural hair unhealthy for managing(combing, untangling, styling)? please reply! thanks (:

[springtime407]

OMG! you were insiprational! I watch videos all the time and it's hard to find stuff that will work because of my ends and you gave me hope...I had to watch your video twice though...I was rocking out to Jill to hard the first time LOL

[deltadiva35]

@springtime407 Hi!! Sorry it took me a minute to respond. I appreciate the kind words. When I went into my transition I just rolled with the punches. I found that using perm rods on my ends did help with making my ends not look such a hot mess. People make transitioning out to be so terrible, but you can do anything if you set your mind up to do it. I am almost 7 months natural. Hang in there and let me know how your progress is going.

[springtime407]

@deltadiva35 Thanks so much...on my way to get some rods and try it out

[deltadiva35]

@springtime407 Awwww, thanks!! I need to post some new vids since my hair has grown. I was looking at some pics of when I first BC'ed and now. What a difference. It as been 7 months as of today.

[deltadiva35]

Not at all!! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. This was my best one posted. I need to do one soon. I think at my 6 month natural mark I will.

[ALuvLikeNoOther]

I love your video and your hairstyles. I'm transitioning also and borrowed the hair style at 1:34 from this video. Hope you don't mind, :)

[ourloveourfriendship]

this is a really nice song!

[deltadiva35]

@ourloveourfriendship Thanks!!  Jill Scott is an inspiration to me as an artist and naturalista!

[insightfulspirit]

Hi Soror!! Loved your video! that Jill Scott was slamming as well... I am currently growing out my TWA and I CANNOT WAIT until my hair is long enough to twist and braid out, etc... Thanks for the inspiration. I do notice my patience getting thin sometimes, but i'm determined to see this through this time... Thanks again & OO-OOP!! (lol)

[shontaeale]

[deltadiva35]

[shirajai]

[deltadiva35]

@shirajai Thanks you so much shirajai!! I have since then done the big chop and am trying to get use to my new look. But....... I have quite a bit of new growth and so it is not a huge change for me. Again, thanks for the kind and sincere comment.

[DonnaB63]

Your hair is absolutely gorgeous!  What an inspiration :)

[deltadiva35]

@DonnaB63 Thanks u so much!! I am glad that I have inspired you!! Now that I am 100% natural I hope I can continue to be an inspiration.

[KSweetKisses]

I love the hair styles........I plan to try alot of them. I am currently n my 9 mon of transitioning. Plz sub n comment on my first video!! Thanx

[deltadiva35]

@KSweetKisses Thanks so much!! I will definitely subscribe. Sorry it has take me a minute to get back with you. It has been a busy week, but I love the naturals and those transitioning to natural on youtube. If it had not been for the support and tutorials on youtube I don't think I would have made it this far.

[dkblck1958]
