THE JOURNEY BEGINS: TRANSITIONING TO NATURAL HAIR

[toretsblaby]

Your so pretty

[tyty125652]

Love this video!!

[TheNaturallawyer]

Excellent video!

[Apriluv7779]

Love this video! Soooo inspiring and creative :)

[77deerose]

That was cute and creative!

[nikkinik24]

I love this vid! So creative :)

[SaunWhee]

DON'T! I REPEAT DON'T!, SHARE WITH PEOPLE THAT HAVE PERMED HAIR, THAT YOU'RE GOIN NATURAL!!!!! WELL MEANING OR NOT, THEY JUST DON'T GET IT! EVERYONE DOESN'T HAVE AN ENLIGHTEN MIND SET ABOUT NATURAL HAIR. IF YOU MUST SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS DO SO WITH OTHER NATURAL WOMEN WHO WILL INCOURAGE YOU.

THE ROOT OF YOUR FEAR OF GOIN NATURAL IS BEING FUELED BY THESE UNAWARE BUT WELL MEANING PEOPLE!!!

TRUST ME, ONCE YOU LET THE PERMED ENDS GO AND START WEARING YOUR NATURAL HAIR CONFIDENTLY, (continue)

[danger069gurl]

your hair is pretty and i like yr creativity

[noey1228]

This video was great I love it.

[falloutti1]

Hey girl, I saw your video for the first time last spring.  It was very inspiring. I BCd last November after transitioning for 7 months. Do you plan on posting another video?

[blackbeautie09]

@falloutti1 Thanks. I'm in the process of moving to another state but I plan to start making videos as soon as I get unpacked and settled.

[1000mishi]

The upswept style at 2:20 is just beautiful! Excellent video presentation; inspirational as well. Thanks for posting!

[DookieDenry]

I really like this video, like how you not only told a story, you put a poetic vibe in it. havent seen another like it. very unique!

[kbn989]

[nessa847]

You are sooooo creative! I don't think I have seen anyone do a hair journey like this. Thanks for uploading this art(:

[s0642184]

I LOVE this VIDEO!!! I'm trying to go natural too. So far I'm going into 5 months. I'm just scared to do the BC.... but i am going natural though... slowly but SURELY :-) <3

[hillary917]

Best Video I've seeen thus far. I love it!

[Nkemp2011]

Great Video!!!! I've been going natural for over an year now!!!! Wow.....seems like forever!!!! Still have around 3-4 inches to cut but really don't wont to! So at this point are you still transitioning? Or have u giving in to the white crack!!!! Lol

[blackbeautie09]

@Nkemp2011 lol... Not yet. I transitioned for 18 months and finally cut the remaining relaxed ends off in February. I cut off between 1-3 inches of hair (depending on the area). For me, it seemed like that time flew by. My family told me I was being ridiculous by holding on to the last few strands but it's my hair. Don't cut it until you're ready.

[teawithjeri]

sooo inspirationall

[dnaturalbeauty21]

very creative...enjoyed it

[TheCrestsmile1922]

wow!!! you are so creative and talented! I have a mac but i dont know what or how to do that. Plus im no poetess *spelling? Any hew your hair is cute in all of those styles im 5 mnts in now

[KinshipWAMBaGhanaba]

right on

[MissLady816]

What is the name of those rollers at 1:21? I need to have those ASAP lol...And are they difficult to put in?

[blackbeautie09]

@MissLady816 They're called Curlformers. They take a little getting used to but they go in pretty quickly. I've been using them throughout my transition. I got them from Sally's for $60. Yes, I know that's expensive but they are, by far, my favorite rollers!

[Misscreole21]

[Altovise0214]

[007newnew]

2:27 had me belly laughing. Yes, my daughter says her friends ask "when you gonna get a relaxer?" Mind you, their hair is usually begging for a little break from the relaxer. Very Nicely Done. Thanks

[mrsdarknlvly]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[2010Tiera]

I want to go natural, but I am afraid my hair will be really nappy what should I do?

[nicegurl35]

@2010Tiera i felt the same way as u ...but going natural was the best choice ive ever made..my hair is growing so so much now, since i let those relaxers go:) best decision ive ever made...

[Shepave]

This was one of the best YouTube videos that I've seen thus far. You are talented my sister in every way! Stay strong! Your on the right path. It will all pay off sooner than you think!

[keisha60644]

[AfroCuban78]

[blackbeautie09]

Thank you guys for all the compliments and overall support. I need it!

[CrissiMommyLove]

cute video! this is probably one of my favorites!! good luck on the rest of your transition .. how long do you plan on growing your hair out?

[spicyeve]

this is an AMAZING video.

i have chills. YOU BETTA WORK! lol

i showed the link to nikkimae2003 aka NaturalChica if you don't mind...she's looking for transitioners :)

[blackbeautie09]

@spicyeve Thanks! Of course I don't mind. Other transitioners that make good videos are KandeeLovesYa and 160Days2Lose2.

[mozartone234]

aww! that was a cute video..i really liked it..

[earthlycolorbrown]

I love your video, life energy and spunk! Do not believe the hype! They hate you cause they aint you! Work what you got! Show them your full healthy hair line when they ask you to go strip the first layer of your cuticle on their whim. Save your money and your hairline! I am not my hair! I am not my skin! My sister India sings I am the soul that lies within! Kill em with kindness and rock some twist outs so they can hate on ya cause they just haters like Jill says!

[nosilicious]

wow!! i enjoyed this video

[MsAshonte]

Stay Natural...the same ppl who talk ish now, will be asking how'd your hair get so long later.

[Ohsonatural2010]

I know how you feel....

[dillinger4875]

Love this video, so excellent!

[TheKasha1985]

[DaKingWife]

great vid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Stardae]

love it! *snap snap*

[LuvAlwayzEndurez]

love this video! Very creative and new!!! That's right, don't let anything anyone says bother you. Focus on your accomplishments and all the things you can continue to accomplish. GOING NATURAL.

[ModischFrame]

cool video....that video was fun to watch....don't worry about what other people say about you..... If people don't accept you the way you are..you know they are not the right people to hang around with anyway.

[day2day2009]

That is such a cute video!

[DiondraLanise]

this is a great and cute video! thanks for sharing.  i am at the beginning of my transition.

[SweetVirginiaNatural]

Love this vid, especially the last section with the "voices" of naysayers. You have a gorgeous figure btw, and will be just as beautiful regardless of your hair texture, but of course I'm rooting for you to make the BC!

[shhow8]

I love this video!! you and your editing is the TRUTH..lol go girl you can do it and you'll love the results after you've transitioned.....Be Blessed :)

[nwankwo123]

such a cute video. Thank you

[stsemple]

This was amazing! Good luck on your journey, and future decisions with your hair.

[HairLikeMyDaddy]

Wow great video!

[brookekeyonna]

yay!!! I love this video its one of my favorites ive seen thus far!

Im 9 months natural and people have said all of that negative stuff to me too! Especially being in high school doen't help because boys don't find that attractive... and now I've ended up with NO prom date when I could have had one if I didn't cut all my relaxed hair off :(. But im hanging in there with you.!!!

[blackbeautie09]

@brookekeyonna thanks. you are brave! i love to see young women embracing their natural hair. i could have never done this in high school. although i feel like i'm alone in the real world, it's nice to know i have the youtube community for support.

[naturallyNiCKY]

wonderful video && beautiful hair @brookekeyonna - i get where you are coming from . i'm a freshman && i'm only 4 months - but i'll stay strong , i hope you do too.

[supagurl220]

@brookekeyonna I know exactly what your going thru... im in my senior year of high school and have been natural for one year.. But its all worth it in the end!

[Licklems83]

*screams* I lovedddd your video!

[Happy2BNappy92]

Very creative video!!! I cant wait to see what you decide to do!! Make some more videos!!

[kharyzma4u]

ur hair is PRETTY!!!

[MzZophia]

[adrianneog]

Now I have a voice in my head going but you're NAPPY, you're NAPPY, you're NAPPY!!!!!! Still going to chop it off in a month though for the big 30th B-day!!!!!!!!!!  Go for it & live the vid! NAPPY.......NAPPY..........

[abbalisous]

[tecoates1]

Excellent video. Stick with it (natural) you'll love it. Change is always hard.

[MamaDouglas]

Cute video

[carlakinks]

Wonderful work...the rhyme was a reakky nice touch.

[krimsonangel]

I love this video! Very creative and you are very free spirited! I did the big chop about a week ago. After transitioning for almost 9 months I cut off about 10 inches of hair. I can't tell you how good it feels! I have never loved my hair more than I love it now! Everyday I have wondered why I didn't do it sooner! Yes, I love it that much and I think that you will too! :-) You will be surprised at what your hair can do.

[AmaryllisTV]

You have beautiful hair and it's going to grow strong and healthy. Please disregard people's concerns about you being "nappy headed" when they should be really concerned about themselves being bone headed lol. Nevermind the unenlightened people they don't know any better.

[1969314]

Good video! You didn't ask your self what you wanted. How will YOU feel? It's about you..

Have a good day.:-)

[mahoganybutterfly1]

You have an exciting life! I want to do that stuff! This is one of the best videos that I've seen on YT! And I've watched hundreds over the last few months. God Bless. Natural and Happy!

[ggbeanbean]

[Twixbabii92]

[taren916]

Excellent video! :-) Good luck on your journey.. Well at least you know you have YT support ... :-)

[AllisonLPayne]

Great Concept and Editing on Your Video(-:

[browntee7]

Excellent vid! If you want then do it. Some of the naysayers will continue, some will convert but regardless, you have to love the idea of being natural to go and stay natural. Best of luck in whatever you do.

[camillion23]

Love your vid...5 stars! Don't worry about nay sayers, they just mad cause they don't have the courage to do what you do!

[Shanatural]

Loved the video! You and I seem a lot alike. I have done many of the same things as you! Scuba certified :) Last relaxer July 17th 09. Why is it that we aren't scared to do those things but going natural is frightening...idk. Good luck with the transitioning.

P.S. I just did my big chop check out my vid

[Tor2079]

I love this video . Don't worry your hair will be "Beautiful." People are going to always have something to say. Just ignore them and do u.

[reinventingthenorm]

Wow, that was fun to watch! Interesting video and I'm subbing to see what comes next!! haha!

[meshiahorne]

wow i love this video alot of people may say what other people have to say dont bother them but wear and tear it really does get next to you

[4love2009]

I LOVE THIS VID!!!!!

[JustSimplyTish]

That was so entertaining...loved the vid ..It is a journey....I've been going thru it 7 months now....

[MissAllsmiles]

I love this video! i was dyin (of laughter) when i heard those echoes at the end! Only because thats exactly what ppl say. I havent had a relaxer since august 09 and i have truly fallin in love with my kinky coils...keep it up girly =)

[chicagolowe]

Great video. You do it. Stay strong and don't allow others to make you weak and conform to worlds standard of what beauty is for black women hair.GOD made our hair texture this way for a great reason. WE need to embrace the true beautiful healthy thick soft curly kinky wonderfully made by the hand of GOD and love it.

[chisellecouture]

OMG you are really adventurous! I need to hang with you. Beautiful video, nicely done! :)

[blackbeautie09]

Thanks! I'm tryin to stay strong!
