[@jazzy8941]

hawazen j even 5 inches is a lot especially if you have short hair

[@jazzyj904]

It has nothing to do with being a hater, please stop. BCs are usually when people cut their hair down to a TWA, but that depends on how long they were transitioning for, if they did.

[@monay6576]

Tanisha W Nope big chops are when black women are transitioning to their natural hair and they cut off all the damaged hair. So to deny this is a big chop IS hating

[@cincybest]

@@jazzyj904 No BC's are about transitioning from one hair texture to another, typically from damage to healthy. It's about a new start . She did all of those things in this video. It's not her fault her hair is the length it is and I've never seen people cut off more hair then they have too so why should she. I smell length envy and hater funk.

If someone thinks this isn’t a big chop just know that her cutting her straight hair is me literally shaving my head because my hair is 18 inches long and although a big chop isn’t just cutting a lot of hair it’s cutting any unhealthy hair and starting from all natural healthy hair which is what she’s doing she cut her straight hair and now it’s just her healthy hair

[@ibiwangiordor4778]

Ciena Navarrete but that’s not what a big chop is, it’s just facts, no hate🤗, there is nothing wrong with transitioning and she did do that for three years, a big chop is not about the length but the fact that you cut your hair to almost nothing and start afresh , her hair is lovely though, I don’t know why people can’t differentiate facts from hate speech these days

[@cienanavarrete6816]

beebs maybe some people have different opinions of what a big chop is and I think this is. But that’s just me

[@fu9473]

beebs its when you cut off all your unhealthy hair to the point you only have healthy, she cut 18 inches of her unhealthy hair leaving her with completely healthy hair even though it’s still long. Yes it is a big chop.

[@tayybrigg]

beebs a big chop is cutting al the “relaxed” hair off. Not just cutting it off to only have 3 inches of hair left

[@DarlingNikki2]

I was in a rut hair-wise for years until I started using a protective style and leaving heat out of my hair as often as possible. I actually started retaining length rather accidentally, as I didn't know anything about protective styles at the time. I just put my hair up, put a fake bun over it and went about my life until one day I realized I didn't need the fake bun anymore LOL. I continued to wear a bun, keep my ends and edges moist, keep heat off of it as much as possible and just leave it the heck alone. It's right above my waist now, but I"m wanting it to get just a bit longer, maybe five inches or so and then I'll be satisfied.

Not gonna lie, what u did makes sense. After the heat damage, let ur hair grow back to a good length and then do the chop so after the chop, u go back to a cute curly lob

[@pebbles3720]

If you cut anything 6" or more that is a big chop!! Know why?? because, it takes a whole year to grow 6"! she literally cut 3 times that!!! So, please don't make yourself sound like a real hater and say it's not a big chop....

[@adas.985]

Lucky! I might get 3 - 4 inches a year.

[@TrievaTheDiva]

@Lis Hurd that's not true.. big chop doesn't mean your hair is to your ears... it meant that for most of us because, we chose to do that to ourselves.. I took my hair from barely hanging off my shoulders to *half an inch* long boy cut when I big chopped... that was my choice! Looking back I wish I had done this! Just let it grow out for a couple of years..

Your hair is gorgeous . CONGRATULATIONS. The straight ends protecting the natural grwoth def makes sense.🤔💖 Society, GET OVER YOURSELVES! The fact that you didn't want to offend anyone with your "excitement " literally 'YOUR EXCITEMENT' is selfish of others. waist length after 3 years is incredible. Somewhere between becoming 'adults' people have forgotten that we are not all the same. Weren't we taught that as kids. . Everyone's hair won't be waist length after 3 years but that doesn't mean you shouldn't celebrate your growth because theirs isnt the same. your hair is gorgeous and so are you. Thoroughly enjoyed this video and your chat before beginning the chop. 💖💖

[@ms.ddodson9352]

17 inches is a HUGE chop!! People are ridiculous saying otherwise

[@Anana315]

Ms. D Dodson A big chop is not about the length of hair that is removed. It is when you cut your hair almost entirely or entirely to start from zero. That’s why we differentiate a big chop from a transition. She did a transition cause she didn’t cut her hair entirely but let it grow than trimmed her relaxed ends.

[@siphokaziubisi6944]

I had no patience for such lol... One of the reasons I actually went natural was because I was annoyed with dealing with 2 textures after a month(relaxing) lol

[@CL-fs3kt]

Taiyanna Hall I don’t have curly hair but imo damage travels up so I would start getting small trims asap...I have healthy hair but I learned the hard way that chemical and mechanical damage can travel allll the way up to your root. You gotta get it before it gets bad :/

[@ThatNubian913]

C L I was completely natural but damaged my hair all over again straightening it one time. My hair doesn’t handle heat very well but I’m pretty much doing exactly what she did. Im letting it grow and trimming when my ends get bad. My hair is currently mid-back and it will be 2 years in May of me transitioning again. I definitely learned my lesson about using heat. Right now I’m doing whatever I can to keep it healthy...struggling a little but still trying to keep this mess healthy

[@emilycepeda8903]

I know right Im stuck with the Jackson 5 length now

[@sg9395]

That’s what I did! Transitioned for three years. I Cut my relaxed ends and ended up with mid back length hair...I was waist length prior to my chop. Two years later I was back to waist length. If I can do it over I would have chopped earlier simply because I’ve never experienced short hair and now that my hair is so long I’m afraid to just cut it all off 😩.

I been natural for almost 3 years now and I never had to do a “big chop” and my hair is healthy, long and thick. So if you are afraid to do a big chop you don’t have to. Yes it might take longer for your ends to reach their natural state but eventually you will get there.

[@Prettyazullynn]

Destiny Alexander yeah I know but some people think they automatically have to cut their hair to let it become healthy but it A lot of cases they don’t

[@beverleya754]

Does it take longer to let your hair grow out or is it easier to big chop that way it grows faster ?

[@teaunalaray6646]

Beverley A it won’t grow faster but it will be easier for you to retain length if you start with cutting all the damage off. If you choose to slowly cut the damage off you risk split ends running up the hair shaft and damaging the healthy hair, that’s why she says it’ll take longer.

[@beverleya754]

Teauna Simmons Which option do you thing is the best?

[@Grinina786]

Teauna Simmons thats false. The split ends dont reach your healthy new growth. They do travel up but they dont go that far because they eventually snap off themselves.

Omg its gorgeous! Big chops to me are like a parable on life . Let go of the dead weight and flourish 😂✂️

[@cheyennenicole2114]

Facts 💯

[@Amypond1234]

Girl, be excited. You’re beautiful and you can celebrate that.

[@h.peters]

It seems like that's a part of everyone's makeup. We all have a different texture on the crown of our heads.

[@sheena.m7802]

got that right smh and thats where i usually get breakage if i dont moisturize it

[@h.peters]

@@sheena.m7802 that's where my hair shortest and driest. It frustrates me everytime I wash my hair

[@kasiastewart5568]

That’s interesting. I always felt like I had a different texture on my crown but I thought I was crazy lol.

[@ninanano]

People never mention that one might have more than one hair texture. Also the crown of your head needs extra attention since it gets less natural oils due to gravity!

[@naiya.nicole__]

The crown is definitely different because it’s harder to get to due to where it’s at, it’s always growing out but the ends get constant manipulation so it will get altered because it’s old hair vs the crown is always new, and people forget to focus on it.

[@maedees]

The second she took all her new hair down and got that big smile omg I bout cried for her 😍😭

[@Riarouge]

Nobody talking about when she said “Whoaa my goood” it sounded so good girl✨

[@artisticallykaylee7440]

1:51 Her : "It's my 30th birthday" Me : "WHAT!?" *shocked pikachu face*

[@rihabsahmed2483]

Honestly the curly hair suits so well ...

[@MsCouve]

Finally!!! a Big Chop where someone actually cuts all the straight ends lol You hair looks fabulous!!!

[@natu7046]

MsCouve i get so irritated when they leave the sharp edges I’m like it’s right there

[@MsCouve]

Gem Sesay 😂 🤣🤣

[@emilyramoszuniga1458]

Girl you are beautiful! Be proud of this accomplishment! Don’t let anyone’s negative comments bring you down!

[@WillaMorton]

[@sharacy889]

This girl is the sweetest, real and down to earth. All the best hun!

[@fabfran4938]

I’m proud of you Gabbie! You did this in your own time and it was perfect timing. Sending love always. Happy birthday

[@dr.sherryleonard-foots4200]

Wow! Great job on your big chop! Anyone who says this isn't a big chop, never chopped 17 inches or probably not even a foot of hair! Your hair looks very nice and healthy! Of course you can be happy with your length! A lot of people are unfortunately very insecure! I love ALL healthy hair whether 3A, 4C, 1B or my own type which is a mixture of 3C/4A/4B on different parts of my head. I love undefined curls and coils, and defined loopy ones. I just have a general love for all our hair in all it's glory, whether long or short. There's nothing like when we rock our natural hair with confidence in whatever styles we choose!! Again, great job and excellent video!

[@camryngaines4024]

Your curls are to die for 😍 reminds me a bit of my hair. I waited until I had long curls before I cut off the straight pieces. Don’t let anyone rush you or make you feel bad for waiting. Everyone has a different story and a different timeline. Do what feels right for you♥️

[@tarynmichelleart]

Keeping your chemically straightened hair ABSOLUTELY does protect the ends! That's why I hope to transition until my hair is past should length stretched. People need to stop telling other people what to do. I'm really over all this hate. Your hair looks beautiful!

[@Millennialmoney101]

I disagree and I transitioned for two years. Your relaxed ends will eventually become extremely broken off and thin.

[@xtelfolaj]

This is true. I saw a youtuber with 4c hair transition til she was waist length. I wish I could of did that but the breakage was too much and fustrating.

[@denyshadials5702]

Exactly. Choose the right products, master detangling, and keep up with your trims and your relaxed ends stay full and thick throughout your whole transition. Natural ends will stay protected. I transitioned almost two years. Best decision.

[@SpiritualAttitudeSage]

what do you mean, protecting?

[@denyshadials5702]

djanel_goldenmoon The ends of your hair gradually wear away on a daily basis. If you’re growing out relaxed hair (straight hair) then your natural ends (curly) aren’t exposed yet because they’re still connected. As soon as you cut off the relaxed ends, the new natural ends are vulnerable to wear and tear. So long-term transitioning protects your natural ends because the relaxed hair takes all the damage. If you don’t continue to care for your relaxed hair, then the hair splits to the line of demarcation, which can damage your natural hair. Bottom line: If you take care of your relaxed ends then your natural hair will be healthier when you finally cut them.

[@tanikaw7138]

People love telling others what to do and then try to say it’s an opinion. They forget folks are grown and can do what they want. Your hair is beautiful and happy belated birthday!!❤️

[@MariaR-kp2qi]

I've been relaxing my hair since I was 16 and now I'm 29. The last time I did it was 4 months ago and I now want my natural hair back! After watching many videos of hair transitioning, the way you've done yours is the one that has inspired me to really go through with it. And that's right, your straight ends protected your curls, clever move. I just want to say thank you for inspiring me on my journey! Lots of love from London, England ♥️

[@DosesofToni]

It looks so good I can’t wait to see it all fluffy

[@Joolieannie]

“I don’t know if they’re slimey I’ve never touched them but that’s my perception “ 😭😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@taylorsimone2862]

I can’t believe people have the nerve to say 17.5 inches of hair isn’t a big chop. Please get outta here. That’s longer than some people’s hair!

[@jessemills3267]

Taylor Simone lol it was for her get on somewhere

[@andrealae2715]

Exactly... Longer than my hair

[@Yas-ei3st]

Truss. Sis cut an inch more than the actual length of my hair and I consider my hair kinda long

[@KAYELLEK]

Yas! You do? Mines longer and I consider my hair short

[@KAYTEEZIE]

So satisfying to see the straight hair fall off and the curl bounces in joy ..like yayyy. We’re natural!!! 🎉

[@Riiellee]

Honestly, your hair was beautiful both ways, straight & curly. Don't understand why people is so judgmental. And I'm the exact same way, when people wanna say something about certain things, it makes me not want to do it AT ALL . Happy Birthday ! 💙 Wishing you many more years of happiness & success .

[@EssJayy817]

if i had your hair texture, i wouldn’t have relaxed it in the first place. your hair is really beautiful

[@meganandremmie33]

did anyone else get annoyed when she left straight ends in the beginning

[@rithuv324]

a bit but it’s her hair

[@stephaniel6867]

Yes but she went back & cut it all

[@Tazzie1312]

You can always cut hair shorter. You cannot cut hair longer.

[@DZ-bb8my]

Yesssss

[@carlygrio8468]

You are literally one of the people she ranted about in the beginning of the video

[@vickystevenson1338]

14:00 she starts cutting(she still had about 2 inches flat hair still on )...but still get excited...(((I’m so glad she went back and trimmed the rest off ❤️love it

[@Mrs.Dsouza]

The end result looks so beautiful ! Super satisfying to watch and you’re gorgeous by the way 😊

[@safinamarishka]

17 inches is longer literally my whole hair , your hair is so beautiful

[@ArianaTheGawd]

You hair is literally gonna grow like a weed now that you’ve cut it! It’s super bomb!!!

[@AshianaSymone]

ArianaTheGawd x3 i hope mine does the same i cut so much well the salon did it i didn’t imagine she would cut so much but it’s life right

[@emilythomas9857]

Cutting the ends of your hair actually doesn't affect how the hair coming out of your scalp grows

[@490jordan]

ArianaTheGawd x3 Hair doesnt work like that. But her ends are for sure going to be healthy.

[@nilzaidavasquez6018]

Honestly, I applaud you for having the patience and strength to wait so long to let it grow out. You do you honey!!! A big chop doesn't mean it has to be a damn buzz cut. People will always tell you you're doing something wrong. This is your transition. Im glad you didn't give a damn!

[@terrielle5006]

This was so satisfying to watch and your hair is so gorgeous
