  • @TheSage1267 good for you! I just did my big chop on 2/23/12 :)

  • @MsLotusBlooms I disagree with you completely. She looks great with natural curls and still looks feminine, if she were to wear it sleek she would look just like everyone else & it would be pointless to be natural if she's going to wear it straight all the time. Just my thoughts...

  • @Journeyoflife817 hey girl...i was tell Mz Lotus (hater) how wrong she was but then i saw your post. You seem to have said if for me...I think LeiLei08 looks amazing in all the style..imo...And your right in saying that being natural and experiment and wearing different styles is what make it all so unique and worth it....i just figured out that i wanna go natural @ 45 yrs young! I buzzed all my hair off 2/4/12! so, my journey is just beginning! I can't wait to see what i get!

  • You know...you're a pretty woman but I think a flat ironed look suits you more. You looked much prettier with sleeker hair. I applaud being chemical free but it doesn't mean that we can rock the more feminine, mainstream styles. The weird braids and twistouts don't compliment you as much as the flat and smooth hair. Natural is great though...I'm natural too but I still look feminine and nice.

  • wow....just 1 year?!

  • beautiful...............wow

  • I've watched and love all your vids, can you do an update seems like you've been gone for yrs. Xx

  • @SamuelJones Me too.. HairLoss101. net was the only treatment that actually worked for me.. I used it after doing a lil research over the internet.. I decided to try it and it did what promised. I got hair volume back..:))

  • your hair look absolutely beautiful.

  • Wow your hair grew tremendously! In one year... Good for you!

  • how long did you transition?

  • So wonderful.. you look beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes thinking about my own start on the natural hair journey. I cut my hair off at 20 years old..I'm 45 now and have never, ever wanted to go back to chemicals. I'm going to share your video with another friend. Hugs to you, K

  • omg you're making me want to go natural... your hair is beautiful.... it was like you turned into a whole different person after you chopped... I mean, you have so much confidence and you seem to really love your hair! thank you for this video!

  • You remind me of Goapele. Look up 'closer to my dreams.' That song is fitting for u too. Take care love and Happy Hair growing! :-)

  • From certain angles you remind me of Leona Lewis, very pretty :)

  • Your hair grew super fast, beautiful. Do you do your own cornrows?

  • My favorite of yours is at 3:32 , just GORGEOUS!!! Did you do the braids yourself or get them done?? I'm transitioning right now, this is my 3rd month, your video is very inspiring, thank you!

  • You look ABSOLUTELY beautiful

    with your natural hair. It just looks like YOU

    you and it just looks INCREDIBLY LVOELY. I am

    sorry about your experiences but I am glad you

  • wow your hair grow extremely fast, do you use any type of growth aid?

  • Beautiful!!! I just big chopped 3 weeks ago. I have been watching so many videos to learn what to do and what not to do but there's so much! Any advice you can share would be greatly appreciated. Your hair is gorgeous!!!

  • Nothing is batter than natural beauty !

  • I really like this video. I adore the fact that you did not ruin your natural hair in the middle of your journey with heat and chemicals and then have to big chop over again, that just doesn't make any sense to me, I really dislike when people big chop over and over and over again.

  • Love love love love love the fro!

  • congrats natural sista!!!

  • Just beautiful!

  • Beautiful!

  • Oh, wow, I had no idea natural afro hair could be so beautiful! Where I live I never see hair like yours "out and natural", it is always relaxed or sometimes in locs.

  • I miss my natural hair. My mom permed mine when I was 8 and I miss the feel of it.I am seriously thinking of going natural. I just don't know how to go about doing it. I am not ready to just chop it all off b/c in it's natural state my hair is kinda hard to manage. How do I know when or if I am ready to go natural?

  • @MsGemini528 Only you can decide that! It can be quite scarey and if you dont feel ready for the big chop then maybe a slow transition will suit you, i.e. basically stop relaxing your hair and let it grow out, trim the ends until finally all your hair is natural :) all the best with it xx

  • Wow ur hair grows fast. Very pretty

  • @mischerokee13 thanks so much :)

  • awesome! i have just gone natural because I was sick of fighting my hair and trying to make something natural that wasn't natural. thanks, your video has given me inspiration to make it through the BC awkward stage.

  • @chocolate001able Thank you!! xx

  • What do you use to moisture your hair? Currently, I am wearing braids, and from time to time, my hair get real dry. I tried olive and carrot oils, but they only provide temporary moisture. Any suggestions, I would appreciate it!

  • @hadassah1965 hey hun, I dont just use oil to moisture my hair, I use oil to seal/lock in moisture. So I would wash my hair and put in a leave in conditioner, then I would lock in that moisture with an oil of choice. I choose Almond oil. It is a thicker oil and I feel as though as well as locking in moisture to my hair, it also contributes to the moisturised feeling and it lasts for days xx

  • Wow, Lei Lei!! Beautiful journey!! I just saw this video....didn't realize that we BC'd around the same time...Nov '09!!! :)

    Continued success to you in your natural hair journey!!

    Peace and blessings always,
