I just recently cut my relaxed ends off and I love it🥰

My natural hair journey. My mom used to relax my hair for a long time, I would still wear braids and would wear fake ponytails and stuff. I did this for a couple or years. I started off around age 4-6. I would not do it often though, fortunately. My mom then texturised my hair and stopped relaxing it, thinking it was better than relaxer. We did this for 2 years. Luckily, she decided to go let us go natural. It wasn’t too late so I didn’t have to cut off my hair. Most of my friends’ hairs looked longer than my hair because they continued to relax their hair making it go down, while I was stuck with a shortish Afro, they mocked me. I envied them, until the relaxer damaged their hair and they went natural so they cut off a lot of hair. They now envy my hair which is waay past my collarbone. *GO NATURAL, EVEN IF IT IS HARD*

Yaasssss! Karma got them back 😂, when I was 4-7 or older I’m not sure but when i was younger my mum used to texturise my hair and it would stay down but I think at some point (can’t remember what age) I was able to transition to my natural hair. One of my sisters cut their hair ( a big chop basically) and my other sister relaxes her hair so now during quarantine me and my mum are trying to grow our natural hair. ( that was a long paragraph no one asked for, meaning mine. 😂😅) EDIT: she (my mum)used to trim mine and my sisters hair but then stopped I don’t know why though 🤔

I’m trying so hard not to relax my hair 😭😭but my head keeps testing me

You make me feel a little better now. I am only 3 months in and I'm wearing box braids right now. I'm scared because I've always had long hair with a perm, but also excited because I had such beautifully thick and long hair before my mom permed it. My hair is long, but also thinned quite a bit over the years from perms and I dont really get it trimmed. I want to go natura without cutting off my hair. Thank you for this video

I am so happy I found this channel, your hair type is the only hair I see on youtube that I can relate too... no "pretty hair" as they would say .. I am actually thinking about this so much seeing how your hair is now I love it, it look so health and it brings out your face more, the texture is amazing and i am sure the length is too...

Thank you for this video! New subbie! I’m currently transitioning to natural. I’ve been getting relaxers for 15 years now but Thank God my hairstyles kept my hair healthy!

I love your energy and channel ! You’re so relatable ❤️

Great video! I wish that I had this knowledge when I was first going natural.

I just saw this video (10 March 2019) and I want to try out everything you’ve said. I relax my hair every month but I’ve been wanting to go natural. maintaining natural hair seems like a lot but I want to try it . Thanks for the advice💕

I truly needed this video , I perm my hair because of same reason ( didn’t know how to care for it or style ) but after putting a perm I was so upset 😭 so this video is want I needed. Thank you 🙏🏾

It's the emotional and frustrating state that made me take up the big chop decision. From Jerry curl to relaxer. My hair was a total mess. It will break so bad. I felt so sad.. needless to cry. I had a big chop few days ago. I feel safe. My hair was really damaged. I've lost my edges. I really want to grow back my hair so bad but this time naturally. Without the chemicals. I'm really hopeful this works great.

Ive been relaxing since I was 6 years old. Switched to a children’s texturizer relaxer because it was not harsh and my hair was doing ok. When covid hit and I had to work from home I kept pushing back putting in my texturizer bc I was only at home and the store. Now it is almost 9months later and im still transitioning quite a bit. Its a challenge and my family isn’t very encouraging about it except to say cut it off or relax it bc you’re hurting your hair. Thanks for posting this video it encourages me. I want to make it to fully natural hair and see if that is for me

My mom asked me if i want to relax my hair and I said yes. I wanted to relax it because I thought it would look longer and easier to manage and I always get jealous of people with long pretty natural hair. I relaxed it late last year, Its been like 3-5 times since its been relaxed, and I'm glad my mom isnt against me trying to go back natural. Now I want to go back natural and start my hair growth journey. (I kinda started it already, by putting aloe Vera in my relaxed hair and its been like more than a month using it) I've been taking care of my hair tho (at least that's what I think) I've been using the aloe, I deep condition my hair and moisturize it.

I did a big chop and was loose natural for several years. Now, I have locs.

Thanks for the encouragement! I have relaxed hair and I wear weaves and my hair is weak and damaged. I tried going natural a few years ago but my hair is 4c so I just gave up. My hair is so dry.

I wish i was actually given the option of keeping my natural hair i've done the big chop just today trying to make it natural again wish me luck:)

Wonderful 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 love it when females wear their natural hair!

How long did it take for the perm to grow out approximately? I've been transitioning for about 4 years and it's the best thing I've ever done. I totally agree with you that protective styles are the best. Crochet styles, braids, and wigs have been my besties. I have seen so much hair growth since making this decision.

Im transitioning and i only put my perm in 2 weeks ago, but it doing go as well as i wish i wouldve. Hopefully this journey goes well.

I just notice that a lot of those choosing to no longer chemically treat their hair treat relaxers as if its the worst thing ever (no judgement) I say that, because if the care and attention and products and TIME that goes in caring for kinky hair was applied to chemically treated hair the results would be the same. We can honestly say relaxers make us a little lazy b/c its easy but non-chemically treated kinky hair is a JOB and for some reason people are willing to put in the work. Just a thought...

Danièll Harber It’s not “for some reason”. The reason isn’t a mystery, it’s quite clear. People (like myself) are willing to put in the work in order to reach their goals. Hair is healthier without chemicals so no, the results “wouldn’t be the same”
