Watch Me Do the BIG CHOP =]

[bnrownsugga81]

what wig was u wearing in the beginning!!! I love it :0)

[FeliciaBeee1]

'You haven't started crying yet' loooool!

[2003kpink]

that comb was too small, thats why I hate going to salons, where is the hair care. She did not even gently comb through it

[MsSpeakMyMind1]

Thats how my hair look when I did my big chop :)

[Blackbarbietea]

wtf is scab hair?

[KittyDreadful]

@Blackbarbietea scab hair is when your natural hair is just beginning to grow out. It often feels rough and damaged because of the constant processing from before.

[Blackbarbietea]

that lady is just cutting and cutting. any using that thin tooth comb. smh.

[dearestjen]

I have have a question? How long did it take you to transition to get to that length? Im trying to transition. It's been 3 months since my last perm.

[MultiLovinglife]

@dearestjen do you mind me asking what products you've been using since ur three months

[sweetosh]

pretty lol love how u keep cracking up! I may act the same way when my time comes 4 my BC lol

[DinkaFever]

Im gonna cut my hair I'm Ghanaian and just love when my Africans make a difference

[mskaramelsundae]

[navysweetpea19]

What kind of wig is that you have its pretty?

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@navysweetpea19 Thanks It's the GLS15 by Fridaynighthair

[sugardrop47]

you are pretty with your hair that all I can say is rock your natural hair, I had less than you at my big chop, and was scared to show my family but its my hair, so now they don't say nothing bout it. Plus I live in a small town where most black women go to the same place and get the same style. So I get looked at when they see me. God bless.

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@sugardrop47 Thank you! I love my natural hair =]

[TamenaWW]

Girl thats not a big chop, you already had a lot of natural hair grown out. I like that you played Oleku though, thats my song!

[daddialthy]

Omg you really got me all excited to go and do my big chop right away. Sigh..lol ithink iwill tomoro... Even though ididnt grow.my hair out as long as yours, ithink ill still do it. Either tomoro or next weekend...im sooo excited now!! :0

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@daddialthy awww congrats if you've already done it! =]

[daddialthy]

@SweetlyBroken0214 thanks sooooooo much! idid the big chop the day after seeing this video and i really love the short natural look :) i get so many compliments im happy idid it.

[MegaCamiCakes]

I was thinking the same thing that pooet 1 said about washing and conditioning your hair first...

[malaunrouge1969]

FAVORITE part was the Up "BEAUTIFUL". The stylist that did your hair, well let's just say she didnt give you a very good trim of your hair. If you didnt care about the uneveness thats purely your choice but the key word "Stylist" she should have shaped it for you but nevertheless you can take it from where you are. Again the Up do was beautiful. Embrace your hair, search the web and you will be amazed what else you can come up with. I can tell u were Very,Very excited. Take ur time!

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@malaunrouge1969 Thank you. My hair has definitely grown since then and I've been loving every bit of it =]

[TheSymone69]

if u dont like it afro like all you have to do is bye some SAFE poducts like eco styler gel and just get u alot of hair accesories you can do twist outs braid outs everything..there is alot you can do with your natural hair...i have the same type of texture you have (when i blow dry it) but i end up makn myself look like im from an island lol ppl say i have good hair and you can do ALOT with ur natural hair...you look beautiful now :)

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@TheSymone69 Thank you

[cloudiedaze23]

your stylist looks mad as hell

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@cloudiedaze23 lolz! Yea, maybe because I came ten minutes before closing and she was already getting ready to leave =/

[missinspired93]

that lady could have done a way better job whoa!! but you have pretty hair nevertheless!

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@missinspired93 Thank you! =]

[judyblume0408]

what is the song in the background?

[arababm]

what is your ethnicity? :)

[Applebaum]

@arababm her ethnicity is black

[judyblume0408]

@Applebaum actually "black" is a race, her ethnicity relates to her cultural tie. ie, her race is black and her ethnicity could be Carribbean. :)

[arababm]

@Applebaum not her race, her ethnicity (her country origin) it sounded as if she had a slight accent

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@arababm I'm Nigerian =]

[EdenHertz]

OMG your are so cute, i get charmed by your smile, you are beautiful !

And well, you rock natural hair, i like your pictures but yeaaah, that hair dresser was not really careful, the comb, cutting on dry hair, how fast she was.. Whatever, the result is here, can't wait to see your other vids !

Bises ;o

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@EdenHertz awwwww thank you so much! I will post more videos for sure when I get a better camera. The quality of my current one is subpar

[JAEYJAEY34]

[smokesomelissy]

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@smokesomelissy Thank you! =]

[nitsrah]

that lady just kept cutting and  cutting

[MahoganyLuvsMikeyJ]

That lady didn't even do it right ://

But it's still cute though :))

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@MahoganyLuvsMikeyJ Thanks =]

[jamoldies]

You were all amped up in the beginning, I almost jumped out of my seat to go do the big chop, but then as I kept watchin I couldn't stop laughing and crying, and almost peeing because I realized you were in shock and did not know what to do. I am so sorry to laugh, but you should know atleast you are beautiful!!!! I'm GOING TO DO IT!

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@jamoldies lolz! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Did you do it???

[XxmemjayxX]

can you make a one year post bc video please (:

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@XxmemjayxX I've been itching to! But still waiting on a good-quality camera =/ Will def make more videos in the future =]

[rocan7]

she didnt even even it out or anything, i would never trust this woman with my hair.

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@rocan7 awww in her defense I came when they were getting ready to leave and she seemed pretty tired. I really didn't care much how she did it. I just wanted the relaxed ends cut.

[lolascrib]

You look great, hon! Fellow Naija girl gives you props for the BC! ♥

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@lolascrib awww thanks girl! =]

[Darlyon3]

Cool music! Made the experience more enjoyable!

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@Darlyon3 Glad you enjoyed it =]

[itsphillybr0]

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@itsphillybr0 awwww thank you! =]

[ValykuteGrl2711]

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@ValykuteGrl2711 Yup Nigerian born and bred =]

[dearestjen]

@SweetlyBroken0214 Lol I just knew you were nigerian just by looking at you. Im nigerian too. : )

[naturallyfbasics]

Hey that's a really nice lace front. Whats it called and where did you get it from?

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@naturallyfbasics It's the GLS15 by fridaynighthair . com

[deanncopeland]

congrats on the big chop love, but if i went to a salon and came out with hair looking like that i would sew. That woman obviously had no idea what she was doing

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@deanncopeland lolz awwww it was pretty late and they were getting ready to close when I came. She looked like she had a long day.

[jenntopp1]

damn the hairdresser could at least SMILE lol

[BoOkWoRmCuTiE1224]

lol the chick doin your hair had hella attitude you can see it all over her face idc how tired she is your PAYING her this is her JOB she should still be professional

[keiondrajones]

SHOW HOW YOU DID THAT STYLE? THANKS



[SweetlyBroken0214]

@keiondrajones Which style? I'm guessing the updo? Will upload more tutorials when I get a better-quality camera =]

[emandeni]

Your skin tone is very beautiful!

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@emandeni awww thank you!

[ladydipset88]

I love that song!! I went to a African party in the Bronx over the summer and I heard this song but could never find the name...Omg i'm so glad i found this video! I'm Haitian American but i love African music lol..and your hair looks cute! Congrats! 

[ValykuteGrl2711]

@ladydipset88 the song is called "oleku". search it up and you'll find the video

[ladydipset88]

@ValykuteGrl27 Thanks...I have it in my Ipod already :)

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@ladydipset88 Thank you =]

[MamaDouglas]

Why would any hair stylist let you walk out of the shop with your hair looking like that?

[MamaDouglas]

There was no method to her cutting. She just started cutting. She should have detangled your hair before she started.

[jazlytrice]

Was that a wig?

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@jazlytrice yup, a lacefront

[popcanlover]

oooo i love your hair and i love this song i hear this song all the time!

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@popcanlover thank you =]

[rosadavismusic]

girl that hairstylist needs to be fired she does not know what she is doing

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@rosadavismusic lolz I guess it's partly my fault for coming in 10 minutes before they closed

[Plaisir09]

this song is nice!

[h3avensent08]

i want to know the name of the song in the video... i love it! it's so catchy.

and your hair looks beautiful. i've been transitioning for 7 months & i hate my relaxed ends.

also please anyone or the OP can you tell me the name of the song in the video,, please and thank you :-)

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@h3avensent08 Thanks! When do you plan on BCing?

[h3avensent08]

@SweetlyBroken0214 December[the earliest] of this year will be 20mos of me transitioning.

[Sweettish14]

Your hair is thick and gorgeous. Just curious as to whether this salon is in NYC? I am looking to do a big chop and it seems as though your stylist was not scissor happy, which is exactly what I am look for.

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@Sweettish14 Nope not New York. I got it done at a Hair Cuttery =]

[AllNaturalEpiphany]

She did your whole big chop on dry hair?? How did she see the different textures?

[yahyah81]

@AllNaturalEpiphany my thoughts exactly!

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@AllNaturalEpiphany The camera I used is pretty fuzzy and can't really pick up the details well but the different textures were obvious on closer inspection.

[popcanlover]

omg in love this song and your hair

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@popcanlover lolz thank you!

[girl504816]

you are really beautiful...But LOVE yo fro

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@girl504816 awww thanks!!! I can't wait to do an updated video (once my camcorder stops acting up). It's grown much bigger thank God!

[pooet1]

she should have washed conditioned b4 she cut it that lady cant cut my hair not even for free but enjoy your beutifull hair

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@pooet1 lolz it was washed before and the difference in textures is visible on closer inspection. The camera is fuzzy and doesn't capture it very well =/ She was pretty tired though since I came when they were closing up.

[necilya]

@pooet1 I was just thinking the same.didn't like the way she was cutting.

[najmaj]

@pooet1 Yeah, it looked like the lady just started snipping away. I was thinking, she can't even tell which parts need to be cut off. Ridiculous lol

[15amelia94]

u laff alot!

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@15amelia94 lolz I love to laugh

[Piercedlambylamb]

[tokyosuni]

WHY WOULD SHE TRY TO COMB YOUR HAIR WITH THAT SMALL COMB??? I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE DO THAT. OUR HAIR IS NOT MADE FOR THAT TYPE OF COMB... WIDE TOOTH HELLOOO

[SweetlyBroken0214]

@tokyosuni lolz yeah you're right but thankfully that hair was getting chopped off either way, else I would've been pretty upset lolz.

[ibogirl04]

@tokyosuni Lol! I was just about to post a comment about that!

[MsPynkPynk]

@tokyosuni thats exactly what i was thinking, take that comb to my head and i would be bald!

[najmaj]

@tokyosuni Exactly! That stylist seemed to be clueless

[Cookiemoori33]
