I'm two years post big chop. Big chop really boosts your confidence and your hair grows back healthier. Plus you just feel so good to see the progress overtime.

I wish I would’ve found your channel when I first went natural, I would’ve retained so much more length. You taught me how to wash my hair in sections (life changer!!), properly detangle my hair after a protective style, leaving in my deep conditioner overnight (my hair is so much softer that way) and much more! So very grateful for your content!! Thank you so much Queen! (Plus you a Zoe like me ayeee 🇭🇹) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥰

Be careful with leaving your deep conditioner overnight. Doing it too often could cause you to get hygral fatigue and your hair feeling mushy. xx

I loooove how you talk about your hair cuts 💕 most people look at that phase in such a negative/sad light … you on the other hand got me so excited girl !!!

Jenn you can rock any hairstyle and still look beautiful.

It triggers me as well! like there are some KZreadrs who dedicate their channels to stuff like that. Half their videos are titled "use this once a week for MASSIVE HAIR GROWTH!" or "do this once a week and your hair will never stop growing" and then some of them will insert "I'm still shook!" in their thumbnails for extra effect. And I'm like girl if you really use all this stuff every week and it works then your hair should be at your ankles by now😂

It is

I transitioned, it was a journey with a lot of trials and tribulations. 1. Different textures, gets worse when you wash your hair and the natural part coils while the relaxed part remains straight 😩 2. Unequal length, the new growth is stronger where as the relaxed part is either holding on for dear life, about to give up or it already gave up on you. There were parts that were longer than others. This starts to get on your last nerve with full success as you might not be able to let your hair down and it might dictate what hairstyles you can do. Well at least it did with me. If you chose this route, it's definitely doable but it needs plenty of patience and grace. 3. I would trim my hair every month, I did this until all the relaxed portion was gone. The other trims are just for upkeep purposes to maintain healthy hair. I didn't have it in me to do a big chop, maybe one day I'll get there.

For me i left my hair in curly styles(bantu knot outs, tight rollers). That blended the 2 for me so it didn't matter. Then over time i trimmed away the perm but since it was all curled up, again it was easy for me.

That’s me! I transitioned over a year ago from relaxed to natural....And honey!!!!! It’s a process. I didn’t do a big chop; I just let the relaxed hair grow out. It takes lots of PATIENCE.

I remembered my hair being texturised and jerry curl and it never really occur to me to big chop. Probably because i was going school at the time and I felt i would be embarrassed to wear my hair bald so I let it do it's own thing.

Happy Birthday to your hair. My three year hair anniversary is in November. Started my journey a little above chin length, to above my collarbone, and now a little past armpit length now. Shrinkage was having me thinking my hair wasn't growing, but love the journey.

My big chop anniversary (4 years) is coming on next month. Wish I'd found your channel earlier but better late than never. Now it's so much easier to manage with your help. Thank you. 🥰🎉

I did not realize how badly damaged my hair was until the pandemic hit and my hairdresser closed. I was forced to relax my own hair which I did and did a poor job and that did it. I decided to transistion having no knowledge about natural hair or how to transistion. I started watching you tube videos. Fortunately my mindset made the journey easy for me. I began to hate my relaxed hair so much that at 7 months into transistioning I chopped all the relaxed ends off. Braids were my protective styles. That too was an issue as I developed hair bumps from the tight braids. At the 7 month mark when I removed all the relaxed ends I decided to wear my hair short and I began a regime of weekly washing and deep conditioning. So many people complimented me on my look that it was an even easier process. Today I am 13 months post relaxer and I am never ever going back to chemicals. I so love my natural hair and all the gray hairs that come with it. I'm a product junkie too :)

My best friend shared this video with me today. Omg you were so fun to listen to! So natural and it made me eager to know what came next. I cut my hair recently but since its growing I don't know what to do with it. You just made me want to cut it again lol. I was so apprehensive about having a short cut at first and now I love it so much. I just don't think the barber did a great job on my second cut but I'll try someone else. Thanks for inspiring me!!

I just realized that when I did my BIG CHOP a few years ago, your photo of the short style with the part was the one I went with to the barber shop. I said "I want this!" Only now I realize it was you ! Fantastic. I rocked a similar short style FOREVER. So freeing. Thanks for the inspiration, Jenn.

I love the new location! It’s great for these chats 😊 Happy four years!!!

Hey girl hey! 🤗🤎 Hello all the way from Papua New Guinea in the Pacific 🇵🇬 Four years ago, I transitioned from relaxed hair to natural and then big chopped. I was happy with the length I retained since then, but I too recently experimented and encountered a hair setback. After much thought, I did my second big chop today and this video was so timely! I now feel more excited about my short hair and look forward to enjoying the journey back to length. 😊 Bless 🤎

Happy hair anniversary ! I can be stubborn so of course I transition for a long time (30 months crazy ). For me it was a learning experience but I was glad to cut the last ends. I enjoy your hair journey because it helped me.

I've been transitioning for over a year. The pandemic made it easier since I work from home. I wore bantu knots for the first 7-8 months, which grew my hair quickly. Now I wear twist and curls weekly and occasional twist outs.

Blessed day this is a wonderful upload! When I initially decided to big chop because of damaged perm hair I googled short natural hair styles and I believe your photo popped up! Flash forward two months later I chopped my own hair off and I i’m just happy every day to touch my scalp feel natural hair I’m curious about some products but I’m just living day by day allowing it to do what it does 😁😁 thankful for KZread’s algorithm 🙌🏾😂😁

Happy birthday to your hair Jenn J i found you in 2020 & I am so happy I found you ❤. My hair is 1 yr 2months bcoz of you I did box braids , spring twist & faux locs on my hair by myself. I never thought I could do my own hair.Thank you love!!!

i needed this video omg lov u♥️♥️🦋

Oh what a great journey and happy anniversary! I think I am doing the opposite due to when I started my loose hair natural journey. I am getting the long hair phase out of my system so I can circle back and do the wash n go bob cut (like the founder of curlmix) and then go a bit shorter after that like your first year.

Really love your spirit! 🥰🥰🥰 I can’t get through any of your videos without smiling 🙂🙂🙂🙃🙃

Im currently15 months in my transitioning journey...but i love seeing big chops. Tempting to cut it all

My last perm was june 2017. Then august 2017 ive decided to transitioned because i didnt want to big chop. My experience wasnt that bad compared to all the researched ive done before transitioning. Now im completely natural and recently learned how to trim my ends by myself. Thanks to Jen ☺️☺️. The only thing is that for the past few years ive never rocked my natural hair for long 😩 ive wear crochets and braids. This summer im rocking my natural hair and will put into practice everything ive learned from my favorite youtubers. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 thank you Jen and keep up the good work. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾😘 @Jen Jackson

Wonderful Journey!

I still want to continue with protective styles even though the hair challenge is ending. My hair is growing. Now at below shoulder length. It was a little past nape length, which is my problem area and it’s getting thicker. Thank you for your videos.

great content Jenn🤗🤗🤗. my hair is 5 yrs old. I've just learnt how to braid it. I love styling it.

Wow you are so stunning 😭

Oh.. The Intro😍😍

I was so sad after my one relaxer just like you. Three days big chopped ✨

I cut my locs off after 11 years and you’re right - short hair is such a vibe! My one regret is that I didn’t take more time to enjoy that phase. The barbershop experience sucked so I think I had it cut one more time before deciding to grow it out in May 2018. I don’t think I have another big chop in me lol but I’ll live through you if you do it again. Either way, I can’t wait to see what’s next on your hair journey. Happy anniversary!

That's me. Every 2 yrs, I cut it💗💗. I just shaved my whole head 3 weeks ago😍😍.

Wow!! That is my story. I came home, took out my braids, and grabbed my clippers to cut it off. The next day, I visited a barber. I will keep it short for a while.

I am an O. G. follower like from 2011/2012... I relate so much with you.. 😅 I have relaxed and hated it immediately 🙄 I have done curly perm... And hated it 😏 I cut it over and over for a few years but never really enjoyed the process... I have tried locs and got bored because of the commitment, 😑 I like to experiment with my hair and I am also getting a little bit of an itch to cut again 😁
