 Hey curlfriends, I'm Bianca Renee and you're watching Bianca Renee today and today is my first video of 2019 Happy New Year. You know what this means, right? New year, new challenge But before we get into that make sure you hit that subscribe button if you have curly hair, wavy hair You like me. You like to laugh. You have skin You should just push the button Every year me and my curlfriends dedicate our lives to a new challenge to make our hair Even better than the year before now My first year was 2017 where I challenged all of you guys to do my no heat challenge That meant you were not supposed to straighten your hair ever again Okay, that that wasn't really the deal the deal was one year Without straightening your hair. I know that was that was a challenge for some of you guys But you pushed through and you made it and your curls look fabulous. And then I said, okay 2018 Not straightening your hair is just step one. You then got to take care of it So then I started the deep conditioning challenge And that's where all of my subscribers committed to deep conditioning their hair every single week committing 20 minutes For their curls once a week And now we're at 2019 With a new challenge So in today's video one, I'm going to introduce a new challenge for this year And I'm also going to show you all of the results of my amazing curl friends I committed to deep conditioning and not straighten your hair I got to show you these pictures so you could see proof that the stuff actually works Now for my 2019 challenge This challenge is either going to be the easiest or the most difficult challenge You've ever committed to and that's because it's all about The big job Yes This year we are not playing any games. Okay Some of you are still watching my videos with straight damaged pieces Hanging off the side of your head I know some of you are about to click off this video because you're already scared You don't want to be told what to do but You got to trust me on this one If you are someone with heat damage Or maybe you're someone that's straightened their hair for so long You don't even know if your hair is curly anymore Or maybe you've straightened it so much that even when you get it wet It just doesn't curl back. I hate to break it to you But it's got to go The main message that I want to stress this year Is health Over length say it with me now health Over length it is way more important to have healthy hair than long hair This is one of my subscribers. I remember her writing me showing me these long Damaged pieces you could see her natural growth Growing out of her hair, but then these straight pieces Literally will not curl back and she was using a curling iron to make them match Her actual curl pattern like one that's just doing a lot but You guys you you really don't think that this Looks good, right? I mean no offense to her. We've already talked about this. I've already gotten on her and now She's big chopped, but she was so concerned about the length And losing that length That she was choosing length over health and then one day she wrote me and said okay I did it and she cut off all her damaged hair and and look how cute she even looked with short curly hair Her curls are already healthy and popping and now I asked her to send me a picture today And this is her hair now 2017 did her big chop Stopped straightening her hair and then she deep conditioned every single week in 18 This is a prime example of a successful story Of going through all of my challenges and committing What i'm trying to say is this could be you but you plain Not only do I want you to commit to this. I know you're already freaking out But i'm actually working on something very special this year and I want you to be a part of it So if you decide to cut your hair, I want you to film it on your phone Camera, whatever you have film a video Of you getting your hair cut and then I want you to send it to me And then we're gonna have a little conversation On what's next?

I will cut my hair It may be scary and some people may stare But I know i'm beautiful.
