I'm so glad your mom told you to embrace your curly hair, and even made her hair curly to match you and your brother's hair. Usually it's the other way around where some mom's get their daughter's hair relaxed, press it, etc.

Ily!

I wanted 3 years for this maya 😭😭😭 im so proud of how far youve come. I cut my hair shortly after you did because your confidence inspired me. So i went through my own hair journey and finding myself and being more comfortable in my skin. It changed me in so many good ways and i see it in you. You're blossoming. Keep up the work mama

Yes say it louder for the ones in the back DON'T JUST TRUST ANYONE TO DO YOUR HAIR!!

A blessing to have healthy tresses and to see the transformation throughout the years. Mine was short as a kid also. I prayed for long hair. Now I focus on healthy hair 🤗

your chemistry with the camera is flawless, and you are gorgeous

Your shaved head video is actually what made me subscribe. It popped up on my trending one day while I was going through my own teenie weenie phase. I’d cut my hair off because I felt like it weighted me down as well and ironically I was healing from a divorce as well. I was a black girl with long hair as long as I can remember. I grew my hair out natural after cutting it for two years (shoulder length) never had any major damage until I went to a “kitchen beautician” I’d cut my hair again into a box and decided months later to relax my hair. She colored it blonde over the period of a few weeks and my hair started breaking off so I had to cut it again after I’d grown out the top in a bomb style. I’d been a natural blonde and never had issues. I then realized I am my hair, my damaged hair changed me and I earned a newfound appreciation for my now healthy hair. I am my hair...shamelessly. Every style/length reminds of different phases in my life. Maybe that means I have some more growing to do but whatever, my hair MATTERS.❤️

Honestly, you look good in any hairstyle!! Sending you and your subbies lots of love!!!

When a video that's under 15 mins takes you a half hour to watch cause you keep pausing and replaying 😂

Literally just cut all my damage off. As a kid I always used to wonder why I could never go past shoulder length and it was because I continually permed and flat-ironed it. I'm a beautiful baldheaded chicken now and I love it lol.

I had no idea it's been 4 years since you cut your hair. I've been a subbie since you were married in a roach infested apartment. Loved your curly hair because I had just gone natural with no idea that you weren't attached to your hair. ❤❤❤

You have beautiful hair, so glad to see you growing it back! And please no more chemicals. Be true, be you, boo!

I started watching at day 1 pretty much but when you cut off your hair, rockstar! I wish I could do the same thing but my skull is too dented and jacked! 😫😫😫 I’m so happy for you and the journey you have been on! Shameless for life!!!!

I used to admire your long curly locks as a curly girl who was always getting relaxers in her hair, but when you shaved that head, girl?? I saw a whole new Maya and I thought "this is beautiful" with that big chop you just became so free. All the different looks you've served us with this short hair have been iconic. You also taught me to love your hair doesn't mean to just have it all natural. While being natural is something beautiful in itself, you deserve to have fun with your hair and just do something spontaneous. Also how to work around different unexpected issues that come about like heat damage. I can confidently say this is one of my top 5 favorite hair journeys (girl in my book this is number one) I love you and how far you and this channel have come 💜

Love your hair!! I went through the same journey. I had natural hair for 3 years and then I permed it colored it and now I’m just growing it back healthy and long ❤️ thanks for the inspiration 😘

You’re such an inspiration ❤️❤️ So gorgeous and positive!

I started watching your videos right when you cut your hair and that was when I was transitioning from relaxed to natural. So, I would go back and watch your previous videos in order for them to get strong and now I'm trying to grow them in length. But, I must say that your many different styles rocks and are always beautiful!! Keep doing you and know that you and your journey inspires us all, you Queen of Shamelessness!! 😘😍 -Sara

One of the first natural hair videos I ever watched was your twist out video. I feel like I've been on this journey with you !🤗

Maya! Girl! My emotions was so up and down while watching this video I went from smiling to eyes tearing up at 7:20 then to cracking up laughing!!! I enjoyed this video! Your hair has been through a lot and through it all you were beautiful no matter what!!! Do you boo! xoxo

The whole situation with your mom and her having hair like yours is nice. Your mom sounds awesome!

You go girl! Anything you rock when you add a smile is LIT!

I appreciate you so much that you're talking about hair! Again. Keep teaching us!

I can't believe it's already been four years since I watched you shave your head. Time sure does fly. Within that time I went from a TWA to having loc❤️🐚

Wow! You have come a long way. I watched your videos when you did the big chop and through some of your new hair journeys then I stop watching your videos. I pulled your name up and saw this video. You have always been a positive person on your channel and just a lot of fun. I won't stop watching you again. Very inspiring person.

Girl I love you! You are fierce no matter what! I’m a natural curly girl. I’ve big chopped about 6 times 😱 and had a buzz cut twice. My last big chop was last year and now I can finally get a ponytail so I know that feeling. No more cuts for me just maybe some color. Keep doing you boo

Loved all your looks and your message behind your journey is amazing!!! SO FAB!!!

I looooooooved your long curly hair, i sometimes watch your old videos to see your gorgeous shiny and moisturized curly hair. I can't wait to see your hair long again. But no matter if your hair is long or short you are amazing !

What a beautiful and touching video Maya!! Thanks so much for taking us on this journey with you! I did the big chop in 2012 and I kinda wish I played around a bit more with fades and various short looks. I'm currently enjoying having my hair in braids at the moment because i'm such a low maintenance kinda girl I just love being able to get up and go!! xXx

I can never forget those curls!!! Hair always looks great any length or colour fits you perfectly 🔥🔥

This really inspires me to not be afraid of when I do my big chop in the future. You showed so much confidence and bravery and I praise you for that. Do You Boo!

I always noticed your hair journey through your videos and it truly inspire me so my relationship with my hair becomes better cause I learned how to love it like you do with your hair

I'm loving all your hair looks and those braids, they are popin!

Whew! I can totally relate to your story. I left my stylist because she moved across town and I started going to someone else that destroyed my hair and it ended up falling out. That was the beginning of my natural hair journey. I had to use wigs and kinky twists to grow my hair out. That was eight years ago and I've had a few set backs here and there (like when some braids snatched a few of my edges) but I'll never go back to the creamy crack. Love your hair! Great vid! :)

So happy to see a curly girl with short hair talking about the struggle. I had armpit length hair and went for a deva cut ended up with a big chop and I hate it. Happy to see that others make hair mistakes and show us that part of the journey too. Love it!

Damn Maya! I've been natural for 4 years and my hair is long, but now I'm mad I didn't embrace and enjoy my journey like you did while it was short lol. You got me ready to big chop again and start over.

I really enjoyed that. What an interesting journey you have had, indeed. What’s crazy is that your 2012 hair is my hair goals. Fabulous, girl, fabulous.

Maya you're awesome! I love this video and thank you for sharing your journey with us!💘 and girl you're so right about being in the shop every 2 weeks with the pixie cut life 😭

Omg....look at you eating coconut jelly!!! That’s so Caribbean!!! Hahaaa @dodoPlaits...lol...that’s so Caribbean...lolz!!!

Missed you Maya! You are the whole reason I went natural. Still going strong! Thank you for your courage and putting your life out there for everyone to see!

Thanks for sharing. My hair struggle is real right now and it's great to hear your journey.

Omg maya this video took me back to when I first followed you! “It’s all about-a twist out” 🎶 😂 love you girl you slay any style🙌🏾

Love this and to see the evolution of your hair journey. 💆🏽💕👍

I totally understand this. After wearing sew-ins with leave out, getting hair blown out, wearing braids back to back seeing the aftermath of my constant styling I NOW understand what it means to just leave my hair the heck alone and let it grow out! You slay with any hair length mama and I love this video.

I love how positive you are ❤️ sometimes we get so stuck in negative situations that we fail to see all the good around us. It is so inspiring to see that you tried to look at the positives when you were going through tough times. It makes me feel like I can do the same x and that sometimes, things aren't as bad as we make it out to be 😌

Love your hair like that, Maya! I just had a huge setback with my hair and after weeks of crying and wasting money on these "fast hair growth" and "damage reversal" products, you inspired me to just let it go and start again. So while I leave my hair alone to do it's thing I'll be working on a healthy mind and body which will in the end lead to healthier hair! Thank you so much!!!

Love how your mother would perm her hair to look like you and your brother. So adorable!!

Omg this video made me feel better. I feel like I’m constantly on a hair journey. I straightened my hair a couple days ago and I hardly ever use heat and I feel like the curls aren’t like how they were. But when I watched this I felt like I have hope. And I will continue to be patient and leave my hair and heat alone. Thank you for this video. ♥️♥️

You rock everything Maya! You're gorgeous and your spirit could make anything look good!

This video, its amazing. You are such an inspiration. I struggle with my hair so much, this made me feel proud of it and my self-love journey is ongoing but at least its moving! So much beauty and honesty in you. Thank you!

I still remember finding your channel when I started my journey 4 years ago! When you cut it I was like noooo but then I heard "Do You Boo" and was like yaaassss lol. You are so uniquely true to yourself and that's why I kept following you!

Awwww Love you Maya. I remember that time you started your shameless journay shaved your hair...since then so much changed! Its amazing to watch you grow and beeing more and more succesful. May God always bless you maya. I love your personality! Such an inspiration! Hugs and kisses.

Yess maya! I been here since the beginning, love this video💖

Boo, I love you!!! And I hope you figure things out with your parents... cause your relationship with your hair definitely goes back to your old people. All the best, Maya!

Your hair journey was so interesting! It was great and I love you personality!💕

i followed you pretty much from the start - it's so interesting and fun to see your hair journey! it's a phenomenal one.. soo many awesome styles!! love you

always great to see your face on whatever screen! i super love this studio-type set, btw. mad cute! it's amazing you have that great space here in LA!

Looking forward to watching your journey! I’m 4 Months Natural after my husband shaved off my hair & enjoying the journey ☺️💛

Its so nice to see a youtuber who talks about how much they loved having short curly hair. Everyone else I've watched either hated it or only shaved it that once. Since I'm determines to shave my hair off this December, it's really encouraging to see how much you loved it.

I have watched you videos from since the beginning from you being that curly hair girl with the beautiful curls to embracing and empowering new beginnings from shaving all your hair off and just being sooo creative with this new canvas and can we just applaud you on reaching 1 million.😊😄🙌. you deserve it boo.. I love how your brand just says who you are.. Shameless. maya😚

Promise I cried when you cut your hair but was like you betts work!!! And I fell in love with the bald look!!! ☺️☺️☺️

I love that your so transparent. I knew when you cut your hair off that you were tired of people coming to you obsessed with your hair. You started up on KZread when Natural Hair was beginning to go crazy. People were starting to idolize anyone with big/long natural hair. Thank You Maya for being you.

I remember seeing your videos late 2012, back when I decided to stop putting heat on my curls (I was 4 years natural by this time). Your videos were recommended on HeyFranHey's channel and I was just super excited to see more naturalistas on KZread. Your curly hair routine video definitely left an impression! I thought your hair was beautiful, even though it did not look like mine, but you are such a character that I subscribed instantly! Been following you ever since! When you big chopped, I was like "whew! Not I!" But by the time 2015 came and I reached waist length hair, I realized I was too attached and knew exactly how you felt. So I big chopped and it was so freeing! I didn't like it at first and in my photo history you can see I didn't take selfies much until like 2 months later 😅 but so much confidence came from the frest start as I know it did for you! 💕 now my hair is back to the length it was 6 months before I chopped it and I'm still learning and figuring things out too. Like bleach. Never again. I'll stay my natural color ✊🏽 I know this was hella long, but I just wanna thank you for your courage and shamelessness! You have inspired so many of us and its has been an honor to witness your journey and see that you are not done yet! Love, beauty, and light, Maya ✌🏽💕

MAYA!!! You look amazing anyway you rock it! Always bomb

I’ve definitely probably been through all of those steps from not embracing my hair to perming it to damaging it to chopping off to now embracing it and letting my mane live lol

Ive been watching you since year 1!!! You are a beautiful person inside out!! Love ya ! Keep doing you boo 💋

hey i just came across your channel and i must say your personality is so dope. you seem like a real free spirited person. i also think you can rock any hairstyle girl, the look you did with the braids and the pink jewels was giving me all kinds of life yasssss 😍😍😍. you just gained a new subbie.

What an amazing hair video! I just love this video & your hair is gorgeous no matter the stage its in!

WHAAAAAAT I didn't realize how fast time went! I followed you back when you were putting out natural hair vids. I remember that shower vid so vividly! I wasn't even natural then but I was (and still am) in love with your personality and mission to be shameless. WOW.

I just love your vibe and how fearless you are, just got me into a good mood omw to work lols love ya girl

Great video! I discovered your KZread channel back in June or July 2013 which was shortly after I had my heat damaged armpit length natural hair cut off that May, and it was new for me since I’m known for my long hair (relaxed & natural), but I loved it! My natural hair is shoulder length when stretched, and probably mid back length if straightened. I stopped getting relaxers at 17, and that was 10 years ago. I’ve seen all of your hair videos which have really helped me in my natural hair journey, and I still must learn how to flat twist & cornrow braid, because I love how my twist outs & braid outs turn out when my mother does them. I have loved my hair in braids since I was a child, whether it be cornrow braids with my own hair or regular braids with my own hair or box braids. Before I ended up with heat damage on my natural hair, I played with highlights which I loved, and don’t think it damaged my hair at all.

Loved your story! 4 years ago I wanted my natural.but I was very resistant about the volume. But in 2016 I had a medium.damage hair that I couldn't stand anymore, was disgusting. I was 6 months without put heat and decided to embrace my hair and cut it all the damaged off. Now I have 1 year and half with my natural hair and I couldn't love it, and myself and even the volume more! Good luck in your new journey!

I took a huge leap of faith a couple months after my son was born and cut my hair very short. It wasn't a buzz cut, but it was too short to put into a pony tail for many months. Watching your big chop video inspired me. I was afraid my beauty was depended on my hair, but after watching you i realized i could still be dope with short hair. Now, about two years later it has grown back A LOT. lol and its healthier than ever. I love everything you do and you inspire me so much! Stay amazing!!

I really enjoy these chatty videos 😊💛💛

Maya you are just such a beautiful soul, love how genuine u are💕

You really look good with any style! Keep being Shameless boo!! ❤️❤️🙌🏽🙌🏽 & I'm trying to figure out my natural hair

Maya, you look great with any hairstyle. I had long hair most of my life.. I hated it and decided to cut it 4 years ago and will never go back to having it long again. My hair does not define me and I gained a whole new level of confidence after I cut my hair. You look great either way girl.. like you always say.. do you boo ❤️

Omg Maya, I’ve follow you since forever!!! I did the same thing u did! Thanks for sharing 😘

I've been natural for 12 years. I keep my hair shoulder length and would love to dye my hair or try a new style but I'm low maintenance (code for lazy). You're inspiring. From the long curls to the short hair, you rocked the hell of every style. Your growth has been a amazing thing to watch. Stay shameless!

OMG YAAASSSS HALF UP HALF DOWN PONYTAIL!!! All I wanted was long hair and then I grew up and cut it all off and never loved my hair more then I do now. Funny how life works. Thanks for the videos and the memories!

Great vid, I was all about length for years and now am into the short hair don't care lifestyle. I feel whole in away now that I can love my hair any length. Learning how to properly take care of it was a big part of that.

A few years back, Maya, you were a large chunk of my inspiration to go heat/chemical free. I’ve always been natural, but I did salons every two weeks growing up, so my hair was always straight. I played with dye, but I watched your vids A LOT. I was sad when you cut your hair because I had to find new help lol, but I loved that you did it. Best wishes🖤

you’re my favorite ilysm so much, you’ve been my inspiration since i was like 13 lol you made me love my curls even more💓💓💓

You childhood pics are the cutest!

I'm currently growing It out. I stopped cutting it sept of 2016 and ive only had a trim since it grew out. I had a buzz cut now when i straighten it, its almost at my shoulders. I haven't dyed it in a long time. Dont plan on it. So i have grey streaks (natural) running thru my hair. I love it. I can't wait to see how yours turns out after letting all the damage grow out! Your hair journey has been amazing! I starting following you after you buzzed off your hair. 💞 patience is definitely everything with growing hair out!! You're doing great!

What a wonderfully, genuine personality! Go girl😍
