I love your personality. You make me feel better about cutting my hair off. Been natural since 2011 and its long but so damaged. Just like you said length doesn't matter if it's damaged. Thank you

I cut all of my split ends & it looks soo much better! Now to get with a healthy regime to get it growing. Length doesn’t matter when I’m trying to achieve healthy hair! I’m so proud of myself & how my hair looks now!

This is EXACTLY what I needed! Thank you! ❤

I’m about to do the same thing this weekend. Starting all over is nothing to me. Love it✨💕✨

I needed to see this so bad today. Thank you for showing us to face reality, be brave, and move on! Lol

Your hair looks very healthy and looks good. I thank you for sharing your hair journey and that you are healthy after recovering . God Bless you. Enjoying your videos.

Wow see! I’m a Texture specialist and I got C in May. I was sick for 3 month with LHC. I’ve seen quite a few clients experience this and I’ve been helping through this process. My hair has felt terrible since May. I might upload my experience as well. I’ve been wanting to big chop so badly for months because of this. You are not alone and not many ppl are talking about this. This is more noticeable with fine stranded, rippled outer textured tight curls. Thank you for sharing.

Great job! Looks so much healthier ❤

I know it's a year ago but for anyone reading this, be careful with continuing to slick back your hair while wet. it really broke off the circumfrence of my hair doing it over and over a few weeks. The weakened, wet hair, the gel and the brushing that needed to be done to get it slick while curly was hard on my hair but it looked good.

You did gorgeous on your haircut, Ms. Mona.

You did such an amazing job cutting. Your hair will grow back beautifully. I’m building my courage to cut my hair and start my natural hair journey.

When I saw this video I was like OMG I thank you so much for doing this video. My hair looks exactly like your hair. I’m also Low iron deficiency as well I struggled with hair growth my whole entire life. Thank you for the great tips and I absolutely love your hairstyles.

Love it!! So excited to see what new styles you come up with. ❤️

Loved your confidence

I hate it when my hair is not even. After you blow dried it you can really tell the difference. Good luck. 👍🏾

Hair holds energy that’s y I’m Finna cut my all off nd start new ‼️💪🏿

You have been through so much. Yup being alive and healthy is more important than long thin hair! My hair likes to fall out too at the slightest thing so I'm always cutting it! I have been using Olaplex and it has been helping my hair. I only use it once a week and it's lasting me a long time. I have ultra-fine hair too.

Try using a wide tooth comb or a wide toothpick. Be gentle when you comb or brush your hair, and please use some oil on your scalp so it won't be dry. In 1999, I wore a chin bob, and in 2022, my hair grew to a bra length. I just recently got a taper cut. Love it. To grow my hair, I wore 2 brairs Indian style and only wore my hair in a cute curlie style on Sundays, then back to the braids. Find out what works for you and stick to it. ❤

So now I’ve learned to keep my stress low, I take Geritol for iron, beef liver pills for Vitamin A and D, pumpkin oil topically to combat DHT, and Ritual Pre Natal Vitamins for any other minerals and Omega 3s. Hair is healthy and thriving now. But good Lord!!! The learning process was a MESS! I’m glad you’re feeling better :)

Looks like mechanical damage I would recommend detangling with oil in small sections with oil try to do style were you can oil you hair and comb it everyday. Do not detangling on wet hair don’t let you hair get matted ever and don’t put grease or oil on the scalp it clogs the hair follicle and makes hair fall out. And try low manipulation style as well as washing your hair at least 2x a week to unclog the hair follicle and deep condition regularly . Best of luck on your hair grow journey

Just stretch it and wear a fro. even before the pandemic your hair has been about the same length either you have an addiction to cutting your hair or you don't "have it under control" you've been length over health for so many years but when is that health going to result in length? I know some people like short hair but most of the styles you do include extensions. i would think at some point health would turn into thickness and length.
