Bye bye length... She just kept on cutting!

Minus 100 inches but I Guess we will grow it back together? These will help curlyproverbz.... 20% off for a few hours.

[@TheOriginalJenafire]

Can we just be honest and admit that sometimes there are evil intentions even in people we know and trust? The fact that she was rough and took off about 6 inches+ of length reeks to me of jealousy. She knows you personally and cannot pretend she didn't know your journey, channel, etc etc, etc. I don't trust this woman and I hope you never let her touch your hair again.. I'm angry for you sis. 😡

[@novelacollection]

Yes it does agreed

[@c4tmh133]

Happened to me several times over the years with different stylists. I haven't been to a salon in like 4 years and my hair is bra strap length for the 1st time as an adult. I stopped using relaxers in 2012. Since I didn't go to the salon several times a year. They always took off several inches after each relaxer. I KNEW my hair didn't grow that fast, so it was getting shorter and shorter every time I went to the salon. I trim my own hair now.

[@tracywong224]

Yes don’t mean to be mean but never again👍🏼 when she was rolling your hair those rollers will pull hair out - and why wasn’t a flexible row conditioner brush used 🥴a lot of red flags!

[@ElegantPaws01]

Totally agree. NEVER GO TO HER AGAIN.

[@Amamoo.]

I totally agree with you

[@jenaccess4luv]

At the age of 20 I had hip length hair and scissors never touch my hair, but once I decided to go to a salon my hair got shorter with every visit. I had shoulder length hair for over 35 years. Once I took control and went natural no rinses, no relaxer and learn to embrace my grey hair my hair start flourishing. Now I am waist length my cousin told me that I needed trim. I told her I will decide when I will trim my hair and I will do it myself. Thanks for sharing!

[@natasharules6737]

A lot of people give empty advice, they're just parroting what someone else said online. Glad you took control of your hair and improved. It's a shame 99% of hairdressers cannot handle natural hair

[@SheReaDelSol]

Lord these stylists…… I’m lost for words Farida. Wow! Well, let’s get this length back babe ❤

[@stephaniejensen3582]

I’m a hairdresser I’ve been doing hair for 20 years. I like long hair. I keep my hair long my babies hair long and I find myself leaning towards encouraging longer hair on my clients. I never hack off someone’s hair and a trim is 1cm. BUT let me tell you all if you want long hair DO NOT ask for ‘just what needs to come off’ what ‘needs’ to go is just so subjective. No way I think you ‘needed’ that much off I’d be so so upset!! But honestly maybe that hairdresser actually thought that’s what you needed. If someone doesn’t give me very firm instructions on how they want their hair cut I assume they are open to me taking creative liberties so I always make sure to really ask many more questions but so many hairdressers won’t ask!!

[@TracyD2]

Yeah I ask them what they think needs to be cut and I either agree or disagree with visual hand gestures first 🤏

[@Theresamonet]

Interesting…I think if a client doesn’t give you firm instruction, it’s best to err on the side of caution- not take creative liberties. But I agree that what is “needed” is very subjective.

[@stephaniejensen3582]

Oh I agree with what you’re saying and that’s how I work but I can see how other hairdressers perceive that relaxed lack of direction. In my 20 years working in the salon I’ve seen the vast majority of people say to do ‘what you think’. It is only my personal experience with my own long hair that I never take that literally with long hair clients (or blondes) but trust me when I tell you that clients coming with a firm idea on what they want or specific instructions is the minority. I’ve been a hairdressers long before instagram or bringing a picture off the internet so a thorough consultation avoids tricky situations but often someone comes now days with a post ‘something like this’ and after a 10 min chat all they really like is the bangs or they kinda like the blowdry. Consultation is key because we all communicate, perceive and articulate differently.

[@TheOriginalJenafire]

I've given firm instructions and she still took off way more. Sometimes people just have bad intentions, period.

[@AmyLeeAngelLove]

You know how I got to thigh length? I stopped going to hairdressers. The yanking, the ripping, the soreness, the blood, the scabs, the hair loss, etc. I don't think anyone wants that. I trust my own hands because some people don't have good intentions. Last time I went, I had blood throughout my scalp from a dull razer pulling out enough hair to cause multiple bald spots. I refused to let him use thinning shears on my strands and that set him off. That was just one incident of many. That was back in 2016. I've been doing my own hair ever since.

[@TemptressMoon]

Thinning shears?! Girl no!

[@TheShonny12]

Girl, my worst experience was going to a salon and the stylist mixed relaxer with the deep conditioner. When I washed my hair 2 weeks later I realized what happened. It took me 2 years to grow my hair out. I haven't been in a salon since 2017.

[@christa3224]

You should have sued them for that! That’s absolutely horrible.

[@taquinmcmullen6490]

I haven’t been to a salon since 2015. The last time I went my edges were ripped out.

[@MyTwell]

Since 2009 for me...not after my long time hair dresser burnt off the back of my hair. After i told her the iron was too hot for my fine relaxed strans at the time 😩😩

[@IndigooceanOrg]

Yep. Since 2001 for me. And even then was for retwisting my dreadlocks. Since the '90s for getting a straight style and cut. I had a terrible experience, which is what made me decide to twist my hair into locks in the first place. Three years later I finally let a Jamaican dude turn my 'wannabe locks' into actual dreadlocks. (I was really sporting permanent twists that just wouldn't lock until he really locked it with beeswax.) After 20+ years I decided to get rid of the locks and go back to wearing loose styles, but this video just reminds me to never go back to the salon care life no matter how I'm styling my hair.

[@sowhatifimthemonster2497]

I know exactly how that feels, at 2021 In December I asked to my sister a trim of my hair I trust her very much. But I did wrong believing in her I had my hair until bra and she cut until my neck I told her that wasn't what I asked she just was smiling. So honestly I have to say now for me is difficult believe in people for cut my hair, if my sister do that to me what can I expect for a unknown person.. I know you will recover all hair that person cut. I sent you all my blessings for you ❤❤

I have an EXTREMELY hard time trusting stylists to “trim” my hair. I found one that I can trust but that was AFTER going through the most with these folks.

I understand about your stylist not being as gentle as you are. One of the main reasons why I learned how to trim my own ends. I’ve had small toothed combs used, yanking, wrong brushes and lots of frustration. Glad you shared this moment.

[@YummyCandiCollection]

[@msmishLA]

Listen I almost started crying when I saw this title. I literally just went through the same thing about 3 weeks ago going from waist length hair now to bra strap length hair when all I asked for was a “light trim”. It was devastating to say the least. The woman claims she only took off an inch and a half…bulls*** my husband was pissed when I got home from the salon and the next day all my coworkers kept saying why would you cut off all your hair like that 🤦🏽‍♀️ just making matters worse. Ppl don’t understand that our hair becomes a part of who we are and I love my hair I worked so hard for 7 years growing my hair out that long and I felt like I was scalped well I might as well have been because that’s how it felt

[@oceaneo4603]

It will grow back, fortunately !! Same shit happens to me. An hairdresser suggesting a trim. I asked her to show me. She showed me the split ends in the front, 3 inches. She cut 3 years of growth. I never cut my hair in a salon again. But I swear to myself, I would go to a professional if I need to. I would just make sure to see what she/he's doing with a mirror. And walk off the sec they do something I didn't ask or like.

[@wanjafaith]

I experienced the same thing about a month ago. From past bra strap length to shoulder length. I hated my hair after that "trim"

[@preciousblackstone5051]

I don't understand why so many hair dresser's do that to women. It's just so evil to me.

[@AwesomeAdria89]

I had the same experience recently. Everything I asked her to do or not to do she did the exact opposite. She boldly told me she doesn't listen to her clients after I paid her. I was done. It solidified the reason I have been avoiding stylists all these years. Every time I stay out of the shops my hair is long healthy and thick. Unfortunately, I have the exact opposite when I go to a shop. Looking forward to your new hair growth challenge. ✨️

[@kingsdaughter4]

I’ve learned the hard way with Hair Stylists you have to be specific & tell / show them exactly what you want cut . You can always cut more however you cannot put it back . Their views on what’s needed / trim / or an inch . Is way different than my reality . 😅 I look forward in watching your beautiful hair grow back . ❤

[@mandiwolfe6631]

This is exactly why I've been cutting my own hair for several years now. Your hair is beautiful, but I totally understand how shocking it can be to lose so much length during a "trim"!

I have had two similar experiences from two different stylists. It can be very devastating to have a hair cut when you only requested a trim. The good thing is that the hair grows back. It lost half of my length in 2021 and grew it back in less than a year. Your hair will thrive because you have mastered the art of it! Stay encouraged

[@freda4882]

Hey 👋 girl hey, I hear ya on the salon experience. I see a new Stylist for about 2years now. He's all about that healthy hair growth and length retention. I love how he doesn't go crazy with his shears. The last time I went in for a trim, I pretty much said the same thing you said take what needs to go and my heart hit the floor because I was anticipating on Losing like half my length. But he said you don't have much to cut, and took maybe an inch. He said I don't take more than what's necessary. He said what ever you're doing at home keep doing it. Plus this was the very first time I had seen him. After that I was like I'm keeping him. Even tho, he's heavy handed and I'm crazy tender headed. I thought he had all my hair on the floor that first appt. But thx to Ayurverdic practices (learned from your channel) my hair is crazy strong. That day confirmed the benefits of henna and amla for me. That stuff works!! But I owe my experience to you Curly P. Following you and your regimen saved my hair. I started following you in 2018 but I didn't try any of you methods and practices until December 2019. I waited because I had alot of research (and procrastinating) to do. I've been back natural for at least 10yrs. But my healthy natural journey didn't start until December 2019. Meaning no heat (no flatirons). I rarely use a blow dryer until I gifted myself the RevAir. Thank you so much, and I'm ready for to go on this journey with you. I used to not really be into big hair, my hair has always been thick. But now I want thicker and longer hair bcuz of you. I want Mufasa hair from the lion king 🦁 lol 😂. My hair at the moment is straight. I use my RevAir. I bought me one on my pre birthday gift this past November. That thing is addictive even if it's just to stretch my hair for my twists I'll being going back curly soon, cuz here in Seattle its just a wet climate and I can't wear str8 hair often.

This happened to me back in December. I went in for a trim and silk press. I knew my ends were bad, probably about 2 inches at most needed to come off. Well, I ended up with a major cut, about 5 inches total. Even as the Stylist was flat ironing, she was cutting. She had already cut some off before she started flat ironing. I was so upset! She told me that she couldn't do a proper silk press on my hair. If that was the case, I would have opted for something else. I'm very weary of going to hair salons now.

I've had this happened to me a few times in the salon, set me back big time. But I am on a mission to retain as much length as possible.

[@ChocolateMelanin]

I went from being natural for 13yrs to having Locs, it’s the best thing I have done for my hair & for me ❤

[@ladytell1111]

Hey. I use hair ties to straighten my fine. Hair trims are necessary. You will grow your back so fast. Love you CP!

[@Cawanle]

I dropped 3+ inches recently. My hair loves it! Your hair looks amazing! 😍

[@Cawanle]

Say what ya feel. It's ok. This time I actually trimmed my own hair. I just wanted to get rid of the colored ends that weren't as healthy. I've never really liked my hair straight and I only get a blow out for a professional trim. Before I get a trim, I always say definitively that I only want a trim or else they will always trim too much. Ready for lots of hair growth and thickness too in 2023!

[@CurlyProverbz]

Thanks hun

[@nesstee4504]

She took alot of hair off but if you are on a journey I am with you let us see how long can we go. Oh yeah!!!!!!!

[@bvicenty9119]

This is a hair novella!! You got us sitting upright and popping popcorn now! Looking forward to the next episodes😃

[@relatablerealness973]

I have fired salons for 7 yrs now! They are hard headed and then you have the jealous ones! I’m not beat AT ALL! The worst experience was a bum stylist that cut my hair and hid it by kicking it into the hole at the base of the chair! I never went back and the beeach lost her shop! I just don’t have the time for bad hair maintenance! I won’t even subject my daughter who has thick beautiful hair, to it either! I’m sorry this happened to you and glad you’re ok with it!

[@pollyw4771]

Challenge hair challenge challenge !!!! Right now I’m doing your onion, alma and fenugreek mask. Thanks for always keeping it real with us. I respect that and I wouldn’t want it any other way why come on and be fake. Speak your mind sis I’m here for it. 😘🦋

[@StrongHer40]

I’m getting to the point now where my curls are far more easier for me to maintain especially with my hectic schedule and working out 🏋️‍♀️ 🏃🏾‍♀️ 🚴‍♀️ is a big deal for me so whatevs. Your hair is lovely, Farida!

[@lameshahale2990]

Hair challenge please! ❤️❤️❤️ A straight to curly video will be so much fun.

[@doriswairimu8656]

Honestly, I love this. It's a new challenge and we can all do this together. I literally hate blowouts. I'm so tender headed and every time I get one I regret it immediately. Stretching with African threading works better. So common girl, we are all doing this together... ❤️

[@IndigoRocs]

I've been natural since the beginning of Covid. I started watching your videos for tips and tricks to help me on my journey. I get my hair straightened a few times a year and I'm blessed to have found the perfect stylist. She is gentle and dusts or trims only when necessary. I enjoy my hair both ways.

[@karlamiller1453]

I would love to see a hair growth challenge!!

[@matiwonesa]

You are an inspiration for us all! I have learned so much. Before I watched your videos and Naptural85’s I could not keep my hair moisturized.

[@michelesmith7263]

How do you keep yours moisturized?

[@matiwonesa]

@@michelesmith7263 it’s a combination of things. I make sure to wash and deep condition weekly. I use heat when I deep condition and I add olive oil and essential oils to my conditioner. I also employ the use of Amla, Shikaikai and aloe Vera powders the way Curly Proverbz shares. I use Natty Naturals leave in conditioner (this for me has Ben trial and error. Sometimes I use Camille Rose Moisture Milk. For twists Almond Jai Twisting Butter and seal with an oil mixture (lately olive, walnut seed oil, rosemary and lavender essential oils). I spritz with a hair tea or aloe Vera juice depending on what is going on with my hair. When it feels really dry I use Naptural85’s pre- poo using aloe vera gel and oils. I sleep on a satin or silk pillowcase. I also spray my hair every other day or as needed.

[@michelesmith7263]

@@matiwonesa this is awesome. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain.

[@styxfan3603]

You need to be very specific about what you want them to cut off. I would suggest that you bring a measuring tape, like tailors use with you so that they understand what an inch is. Yesterday I gave a haircut to a friend who has not had her hair cut in over three years. Her ends were pretty damaged, and she wanted a good amount off, but not cut too short. I had her point to where she wanted it cut, and hold her finger there while I held up the measuring tape. Her husband took a photo to show her where it would be and see that she was asking for 8” off. She said yes, that was what she wanted. So I pinned it up in sections, then let it down in increments to cut her hair to the desired length. She was happy with the results and her husband loved it. So getting good communication about what you want before they start cutting is paramount to avoid getting your hair cut too short.

[@soniasierras6988]

No, they do them and you do you, baby!!

[@BarcelonaDelacalle]

❤️ Proverbz dear❤️ I am sorry for your experience, but I am happy that you always express yourself with so much grace! The pulling made me cringe and reminded me of my mother not understanding the finer details of curl detangling. Always love your contributions to my arsenal of hair care ❤️ grazie

[@ceciliajasper454]

I only straighten for a trim and length check. I understand the shock after you've grown your hair out so much. Loosing that much in a stylist chair is why I haven't to a stylist much. My hair has grown, but not to where I'd like, so I'm going to be building a relationship with a stylist some friends of mine trust to get my ends trimmed and ensure my hair is flourhing.

[@Bethanie222]

Still looking good! Looking forward to going on this new journey with you ❤

[@alee7322]

The first healthy hair cut is a shock. But if your hair and scalp are healthy it will grow back. Keep up your trim schedule and you will only have “dusting “ from now on. My first healthy hair cut went from bra strap to shoulder. Now it’s waist length, and I only get dustings every 8 to 12weeks. I wear my hair straight and curly, depending on how I feel. The great thing about natural hair is we can do both, if we wish to. No right way or wrong way just YOUR, the individual’s choice.

[@trishiscute]

Do they get mad when you ask for just dusting of the hair?

[@alee7322]

@@trishiscute no. A healthy hair stylist wouldn’t cut off more than needed. The woman I go to , we always have a conversation and she shows me my ends before she cuts. I also know what I’m looking at, so I know how much needs to be cut.

[@autumnhomer9786]

🎀I’ve never had a positive experience with any hair stylist and I have seen a few. I will continue to get family to do my hair and do it myself. 🎀

[@Sasha-xv9bi]

I haven't gotten my hair since 5th grade and yesterday at age 28 I got one. I absolutely love the short hair cut style ❤️❤️❤️ I've ruined my hair so much over the years that my hair stylist literally saved my hair 🙏🏼 It was rough and brittle and dead and super uneven. Badly uneven and she cut all that off and I didn't realize how much new healthy hair I had growing ❤️ I have that mixed black and white hair. I got it cut shoulder length and never thought I could rock such a style but it's beautiful.

[@sonyagladney9082]

Beautiful and healthy looking hair!! The cut is a fresh start for more length retention.

[@CurlyProverbz]

Clean ends feel good. Ngl

[@negracaribena]

She’s got me excited!!! I want to see where this goes 👀

[@winnifredjames1128]

Yes now I can follow along with you this time

[@michellesamuels8435]

GIRL the shrinkage question was running through my mind as soon as I saw the finished cut. But it will be great seeing this growth challenge.

[@enrica1643]

So coincidental I was particularly looking at this this morning Hackney T Hall

[@findingdori442]

I know that feeling of sitting in that chair as the scissors cut 🙈 I’ve learned if I have the slightest gut feeling of get out of here….I leave. I have to say, you look gorgeous & I agree about staying in my curly girl hair 💛

[@nicolelindsay8690]

I'm so sorry! I've been there and it was so so upsetting to me. I only cut my hair myself now and only go to a salon for a shape up maybe once a year, but I'm even going to stop that and try to grow my layers out. Your ends look absolutely amazing though and so thick and full! You'll be back to bum length in no time! My hair is around your length now, we can do it together! 😁

[@Shareefah101]

Yes, definitely do a hair growth challenge! I’ll join. I’ve had my share of stylists not trimming my hair nor blowing out my hair properly. I currently use my Dyson hair dryer for blow outs.

[@shionajoseph3248]

I love your hair length. It looks good on you. Yes to straight to curly video & yes to hair growth challenge! I recently started blowing drying my hair on wash day. I just find it’s easier to keep my hair hydrated & moisturized. Whenever I apply products on my wet hair it’s dry and crunchy in the morning. So for now I’ll blow dry

[@lill1847]

Girl! Don't apologise for anything. I'm with you on this one. I must admit in all honesty I like your big curly proverb hair mode😀. I like you whichever way though. Looking forward to the next video my girl, let's grow together. Xx

[@shederaharris3060]

Love the length of your hair

[@jmilaj]

I’m in the same stage of life as you so I can totally relate. Excited to join in a hair growth challenge with you!

[@mzfemininity9195]

I'm with you on the hair growth challenge journey.....we're hair length twins now! I've always wanted tail bone length though.

[@RabielleParfait]

That’s why I’ve been having doubts to get my hair straightened and cut in a normal salon. If the hairstylist isn’t experienced, a lot of hair will go because our hair is curly. I so love your determination and mind set and you’re one of the few KZbin channels I’ve been following over the years with a consistent & simple hair routine and growth cycle. We will be here watching you hair make it back to the original length! ♥️♥️
