The Big Chop (Chapter 1: The Beginning to My Natural Hair JOurney)

[PrettyGirlSwagg329]

Love it

[teneaallen]

thank you so much for sharing this video. I've experienced some pretty bad heat damage with my hair that was a mistake, so my "big chop" will be next month. I'm excited, and you've summed up my biggest reason with "hair is an accessory". I don't know what to expect, but I plan to have fun with it.

[illuminiti1000]

it,s been almost 1 yr and 1 month natural for me.

[illuminiti1000]

um your rediculous like your hair was beautiful long,When i cut my hair off it was because it fell out.but its growing back though its natural and pretty.I think your hair is nice but I think you were bored.

[offiicialgurl22]

Doing my big chop Saturday this puts my mind at rest a like more

[coldaswinter2]

@mscutie there is nothing wrong with you it will be a year for me as well and I too have been doing protective styling any I just performed the big chop I'm doing another protective style this weekend we love our natural hair and that is why we have made this choice I'm going to keep doing other hairstyles until my own hair gets a better curl pattern hang in there .

[phatsk8r09]

INSPIRATIONAL!!!! I LOVE IT : )

[GeenahB1]

I just did the Big Chop last night, and this video made me feel more comfortable about my new look! Thanks Girl!

[TheTierraB]

I just had to say that you're my inspiration (:

[TheTierraB]

I love it. And you are BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[mscutie0814]

I have been truly transitioning since May of 2011....I have wore crochet weaves and kinky twists, and I cant seem to learn to love my hair...is something wrong with me? Its curly but now really and I don't have support.. I'm kinda stuck...

[MsD3SIR3ABLE]

@mscutie0814 i'm kinda lost too...and i don't have any support either...I started transitioning Aug of 2011....so may be we can help each other!

[TheNinthPowerrr]

[cloudiedaze23]

I looks good. Forget those Haters girl. I'll be doing my big chop next Wed. Congrats!!!

I Love your hair!!! I just did the Big Chop last Wednesday and I got the same feed backs, but I feel good and refreshed with my Natural look.

[ljmaxwell2003]

I LOVE IT GIRL! I JUST DID THE BIG CHOP TODAY AND ITS A VERY LOW FADE and yes my head is too big for this look. So as a stylist myself I choose to wear lace front wigs till its gets about 10inches. Love your sefl and do you!! Go girl!!

[mariahdances15]

[TinaSchrellShow]

[sugarbaybee6109]

I Love Your Make Up! ! :)

[Single4ever4lovesake]

If your not a model you should be, so pretty !

[LuckyStarr22]

You inspired me to cut my hair off! Cus i have hair to my shoulders and it's all natural but I want to start over again because it's not as healthy as it should be.

Thanks!

[MissJessyeNorman]

Your hair looks AMAZING...and you are gorgeous, adorable and charming!!!! This length shows off your elegant neck, and the beautifully feminine shape of your head. I hope you keep it short for a while or come back to it at some point, because you look absolutely stunning this way!

If ppl criticize you, it's just because of their own insecurities, and I hope God helps them develop past hurting others to feel better about themselves. I'd leave it in God's hands, and let it slide off of my back.

[naturalgirl79]

Luv it hair it fits u:)

[naenae6446]

Omg! You are absolutely gorgeous with your twa! I recently did my big chop. Us natural sistas have to stick together lol

Good luck on your healthy hair journey

[ap06blue]

[lolamac7]

[bettytoo2]

girl you wearing it well.your a pretty girl.just keep doing you

[AYoFRENCHiE]

OH YEA & lol at you talking about one day having short hair & the next ooop its long. girl please tell me why i say the exact same thing :)) i ADORE my short hair but im with you if i want long hair then im gunna have it . not because i just hate my short hair & feel like its ugly & i need hair . but just because i like being versatile

[TheRoyaldiamond]

@AYoFRENCHiE i know what u mean but i realy dont wanna chop off my hiar mygoood "cry lol" idk but i wanted to ask if it ok if i start braiding it and not perm it at alll, wil it still gro naturally? i mean is that stll concidered natural,?

[AYoFRENCHiE]

@TheRoyaldiamond Yes girl :) thats how i did mines i wore weave for a yr & didnt get relaxers & when my hair gre out to whatever length i just went in the batheroom , wet my hair & cut all the weak ugly hair off :) lol . Keeping it in braids for a while & not getting a relaxer is called "Transitioning" :)) .

[TheRoyaldiamond]

@AYoFRENCHiE aw k thnx i will try that, thnx soo much and good luck with urs i hope it grows really loong :)

[AYoFRENCHiE]

@TheRoyaldiamond yur welcome ^__^ & its getting theerrreee <3

[AYoFRENCHiE]

awww you look pretty :)) i cut my hair too :)) & i got the same reaction "OMG you cut yur beautiful hair al off" i was like "-___-" too ya' know . people say well whyd you do it & everyone thinks the word NATURAL is a dressy way of saying NAPPY . not every female that goes natural has nappy hair . mines is quite curly actually. But anyway you look lovely with yur short hair girly ! yur face shape & eye shape kind of favor mines . hahah sweet

[MissEmpresss]

You show so much wisdom, hard to explain but that rare ability is there, and that wisdom goes with such a beautiful spirit...in the process of maybe going all natural...scary by the stigmas of society in this country makes me question this step, especially in the business world, wanting to make it to the top.Sounds wired but true. Seeing you be brave and look so beautiful and up lifted, makes me want to throw those stigmas out the window...we will see what is to come...<3 your video!

[Senga28]

you make me miss my gap and wish i never decided to get braces juss because of my gap

[UltraDuperSuper]

@Senga28

You are so right! It is NOT about anyone else, it is about you and your hair... I love this vid. Good luck girl in you journeys, keep us posted on your progress! ;-)

Ash

[EbonyGirlSpeaks]

you and your hair are so beautiful!!

[Shadiyaray]

Girl, your hair is beautiful!!! I did the big chop January 2010 and I'm so glad that I did. My hair is growing more than it did with a perm. You look beautiful as well.

[hwiley09]

I think your hair's awesome. It looks nice w/ your face. Cute pix @ the end .^_^. And my hair was that same length before I bc'd. I'm SO glad I did it. It's been seven and a half months since the bc and a year since my last relaxer and my hair's already longer than it was before. I only wish I had thought to go natural sooner.

[KawaiiYaLie]

Omg I was thinking "She's cute even with permed hair." & then you came on with it cut & I was like "Omg she's soooo pretty!!!!"~ I love you hair cut like that!XDD (& this is the first of your vidos I've watched lol)~

[titatane19]

[StellaMillz]

I love your video very inspiring!

[BMCNEIL05]

I Love Your Video. And I Really enjoy The message I went through this same thing

[mokingify]

Now this video is the real deal...it really expresses how we feel when we are going natural and the attitude we should have about it...INSPIRING!!

[ElleNuMi]

You are pretty, and I love your hair! That's how short my hair was when I cut it to start with natural hair. It's almost 5 months now.....just you wait! You'll see how much it will grow. I can almost do two pony puffs. Being natural is a beautiful thing!!

[tclinton1970]

i think you look so cute with your short hair .

[Bombshellvixen08]

[spritzfire009]

[Suchadawl]

@spritzfire009 i will def try to get the ball rolling on this one...thats my everyday makeup look...i just got off of work when i made this video...but ill make one soon

[Suchadawl]

thank you lovies! I really appreciate your support and kind words!

[ThatsSoErika]

You're so pretty! I love ur personality :)

[dezyredangel]

You go gurl! Congratulations! I am a recent natural too, but I don't have any videos cuz I don't have the equipment. Anyhow, you are right. Chopping your hair is all about you not others and no matter what they think, at least your hair is in a better condition and all it will do is GROW. New growth consists of NATURAL hair, so there is nothing people should argue about with that issue. Keep your journey going. I look forward to watching your progress. Take care ;)

[Pfruit09]

Awww...You look so cute..! and don't worry about the negativity, because most of the time it comes from people who are ignorant or those who want what you have... !

[x0nia0x]

congrats on ur bc baby doll !

[4blacherk]

You look beautiful and continue being u! :)

[Afrofashionista]

congrats on ur big chop

[FabJennie]

First and far most this has been one of the best and well edited hair videos I've seen in a while. Thank you for taking the time to do so. Congrads on your big chop. I too did my big chop close to 2 years ago. It was very liberating for me. I documented and put it on my youtube page. The hard part for me now is finding the right product. This is the healthist my hair has ever been. Thanks for the video....sparkle on :-)

[Suchadawl]

@FabJennie thank you so much!!!! ive seen a few of you videos too!!!! You are a doll!!!!! I really appreciate your compliment! This is all so new to me, so its quite scary...and to get a message like this only keeps me going.... I thank you again!!!! besos!
