Hey girl, I did the same thing last year in May,and I am about to reach 1 year in 3 months. I cut all my hair off,so I didn't really transition. People thought I was crazy. Best wishes !

[malcanext]

im am sooo proud of you too

[msreds23]

I see new growth :P I transitioned for only 4 months. I began stretching the relaxers-then cut my hair from apl to a bob. I couldnt wait lol. I believe you can go wayyy more though.

[scoolgurl7777]

[lovetheno]

[MsChanteJ72]

With this attitude your transition is gonna be a breeze! Took me about 6 months to chop that much off. . .lol

[1YouNekButterflyy]

Aww you seemed excited to cut those four inches off. It looks like your natural hair texture is soft and curly. Go Elle!

[yasintha]

Girl that is not a mini chop. Thats your first big chop. You go girl. Can't wait to see you when your totally natural.

[Rubyeyez21]

[jemjtt]

[pristay7]

Congrats on your mini chop, but wish we could have heard you talking rather than Rihanna song playing.

[gwyn247]

DONT CUT TOO MUCH WHERE YOU CANT BUN OR MAKE A PONYTAIL BECAUSE THOSE WILL SAVE YOU WHEN PUSHED FOR TIME... I BIG CHOPPED AND THATS ONE THING I WOULD HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY BUT I WAS TOO ANXIOUS TO BE ALL NATURAL!

[Missdelicious1]

The hair....is gone...R.I.P.  :(

[MsLuvlee30]

Lady elle, I've been subscribed to u for a little while now, I've never had a problem watching from my cell what happened? :'(

[missjones10011]

I Can't watch the video on my iPhone :-(

[Boyhead1973]

What a difference! I remember when your mom cut your hair and it was devestating to you and here you are -- PROUDLY cutting your hair and the look of joy on your face is fantastic! You go girl!!!

[gwyn247]

Looking good! Im stretching to only relaxing twice a year and ive found cowashing with vo5 every few days followed with an acv rinse and coconut oil and bunning has helped me. I was natural and I loved it but I didnt love the time I had to use to care for it. Im looking forward to your transition. Stay blessed.

[BlackRose938]

if i was you i would bite the bullet and cut it back to at least shoulder length , saving you much time and energy in the long run , that was nothing more than a big trim in my book , when i transitioned i went from collar bone to bob length , as the quicker i became acquainted with my natural tresses i noticed it stopped shedding , it grew quicker and looked thicker , regardless Sis good luck with your hair journey :)

[kikicouture10]

it looks like your BSL your hair is still long and pretty it looks thicker too. Congrats

[mstiaradean]

Yay Elle'... I'm so happy for you. You look so genuinely happy cutting of the 4 inches of hair. One step closer to natural! =)

[EnoughAlready51]

I love watching your videos. It is evident that your beauty goes beyond the exterior. I applaud you for your honesty and graciousness! :o)

[MsJasmeen]

Cant see it on mobile :( but congrats anyway

[Deazzle08]

congrats to transitioning have you thought about cutting more of your hair of and donating it?

[sweetfm2008]

I can't understand why so many dislikes for you cutting your OWN hair? You do you, BuildableBeauty!!! HHJ (By the way, I was waiting for you to shake it around like you did before in the other videos about- made it to APL and BSL (LOL)!!!!!

[BuildableBeauty]

@sweetfm2008 Gurl Idk,I can't please everybody all the time.....I'm just go continue to Do Me :0)

[HereComesTheBride1]

@sweetfm2008 I agree! people are just such sad cases! I mean this is her personal hair Journey and hair channel, not theirs! I guess their upset because she is not doing the way they would like. But this is "YouTube" not "TheirTube"! =) But i totally agree with you! I'm also ready for the "Shake Down"

[aHoLYGHoSTGuRL]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssss­ssss I didn't know you were going natural! I can't wait to see you do some natural hair videos #Goteamnatural!

[angelicdazzle]

STYLLL a goood length XD i was wondering when u were styl relaxing how often did u trim ur hair?

[sass9507]

Your hair is still hella long. Congrats on the mini chop!!!

[BuildableBeauty]

@sass9507 Thjx :0)

[thereturnqueen]

Is it OK to be happy & sad at the same time? OMG I applaud you decision to go natural but I'm crying on the inside...cause I know how hard you worked to get where you are. But at the same time I'm happy to see you smiling and cutting, instead of crying...really shows that you have made up your mind, and you are OK with your decision...Kudos to you!! =}

[poppalovesme]

wow, u go girl! how did it feel doing your first mini chop?

[BuildableBeauty]

@poppalovesme Awesome :0)

[FindingtheBalance302]

[BuildableBeauty]

@FindingtheBalance302 I Plan to transition for a year, but who knows may be sooner than later :0)

[FindingtheBalance302]

[LadyYasB]

@harlemT01 I AGREE!

[harlemT01]

please make all yur vids available for mobile viewing. =(

[BuildableBeauty]

@harlemT01 I have no control over it, it's youtubes glitch ....Sorry

[benyealiscute]

Been watching your videos for a long time! I applaud your courage in making a decision that you felt was best for you and your personal hair journey. I will be watching and i wish you the best!!!!

[LadyAlways07]

Hey Girl I'm natural past BSL not quite MBL and I never cut my hair. Some women don't like to deal with the two textures but I just kept my hair moisturized and in protective styles ( so my hands would not be in it) I wish you the best of luck in your transition and applaud your bravery!

[AtlantaAngel84]

You are so giddy about transitioning, I think that's a great attitude to have.

[100Jehannah]

OMGoodness... you have a good handle on your transition.  go head!

[BuildableBeauty]

@100Jehannah Thx Doll :0)

[AlliouaganaQueen]

[shlinda1]

CONGRATSSSSSSSS, I JUST DID THE SAME THING, I CUT OFF ALL MY RELAXED HAIR. I FEEL AND LOOK SO MUCH BETTER. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU ARE FEELING AND IT FEELS GOOD.

[Tia7891]

[myzleelee]

[Socarmen24]

I just wanted to say that even though you're going natural, you have opened my eyes up to starting a hair journey since July 2011. I've just been motivated to keep my hair healthy. I thought I was APL but I have a lot of work to do still compared to you. I still love your videos and I hope you will continue to be an inspiration.

[oxcaput7xo]

do your thing girl!

[tuxu14]

You look so happy :) Hair looks thicker already. Congrats.

[BuildableBeauty]

@tuxu14 Thx :0)
