[@Lily_of_the_Forest]

Yeah me too. My curls went away over time. Didn’t use heat products or straighten it so the curl loss is not from damage. Just time. 😢

[@allyyy8382]

Autumn Rain same :((

[@unknownartist1762]

It also depends on what shampoo and conditioner you use. Make sure they have no sulfates or parabens. And make sure to deep condition once a week. Its a transition it may take more then a year to get your curls nice and healthy again. Curls are defiantly high maintenance.

[@deborahl3083]

Now Angela, you know better than to use that language

[@lettyhanson526]

someone left you with bleach in your hair for 2hours??? and the other hair dressers just watched????? envy much! I'm glad you now understand what to do. both you n your hair r beautiful

[@xientxx423]

Letsheia hanson I mean the other hair dressers have to do other hair cause there Time is precise so you would have to extra pay but that’s just wrong how he left her there and the others watched like atleast get it out of her hair but I would’ve fired and sued him for it

[@hairbycarmenamelia2135]

Wow so inspired. I'm on my 4th month transitioning and I am feeling so disheartened right now seriously can't see an end to this! And like u I have no idea what my actual curl pattern even looks like :( this has given me another push of encouragement! Thank you! Xx

[@amandarrwalker]

+Hair By Carmen Amelia I'm so glad!! Thank you for watching. I've been through it all, so I just wanted to share my journey and hope that someone would be inspired, like you! Keep it up girl ❤

How is it going?

[@whereisthebeach8664]

I am on my 3rd month and want to shave my head hahaha

[@babydev1989]

Oh My God I'm barely starting to transition... Less than one month! Ugh!!!!!! Have already started to switch to sulfate, silicone and paraben free products and started with deep conditioning and oils. I just wished the process didn't take so long... Hope hopefully a year from now I can finally meet and rock bouncy beautiful curls like you. So much to learn about my own hair so far only haydrating products seem to work because it was dry and brittle. Need to get my first haircut this to try to get rid of dead and bad hair.So ashamed but I'm working on it. We can do this! Go Curly Community!!!

[@SteffyRodriguezAgredo]

:( im on 4th month of going from platinum to black and i cut like 3 inches off my hair to my shoulders and my hair is still frizzy straight ish not curling at all

[@NatalieElle]

Currently transitioning and bumping into this video frequently helps me not be discouraged and give up. So far iv been heat free since the beginning of the year!! 💕

At 21 years old I'm starting my natural hair journey as well. My hair was always getting relaxed when was younger by my mom and I had been experimenting with colour for the past 7 years not even to mention the heat damage. It's hard in the beginning but your transformation reminds me its totally worth it!

Once again, so much YES!

[@lisaliubovich8478]

ugh this gives me hope! i didn't know the extent of my curls either because when i was young, i tried to hide them as often as possible and i never took care of them properly until now. it's been about 9 months since i actually started keeping my hair curly and only about four months since i started to really take care of it. i'm glad that such healthy curls are attainable, especially after my years of heat damage and color damage

[@jasminelinet2461]

Are you real ?? You're so beautiful 😩 and your curly hair 😍❤

[@TheDoll1988]

Im starting my hair journey and its honestly not easy at all. Ive been really good about caring for my "curls" and absolutely not heat or straightening! But the wait is killing me! I have to be patient and watching you and your videos really helps. You're my inspiration to have beautiful hair again. I haven't been this in love or serious about my natural hair journey until I started watching you! Thank you!!!!

[@SquirrelHoneyHoney]

Wow. I too am a reformed color & straightening addict. My hair now looks almost exactly like yours when you first started wearing it natural. You're giving me hope girl!

[@radioactiveood]

This amazing and gives so much hope to ppl who say their won't curl anymore

[@amandarrwalker]

+radioactive ood thank you! I never even knew I had these kinds of curls. Can't believe I've been missing out on them this whole time! ❤

[@CurlySimone]

I'm so happy you decided to embrace your naturally curly hair. It's beautiful. So many people have been straightening their hair for so long that they don't remember what their natural hair texture is. I love my curls! Thanks for sharing your story.

I love your Deva cut! Im in Maryland and am having a difficult time finding a stylist that does curly 3c hair. Its like its like I only find people doing natural braided hair or locs.

[@AuntyKinu]

Try Fiddleheads in DC.

[@doloresw]

AuntyKinu thanks I look it up

[@ikapika]

Dolores White I LIVE IN MARYLAND too!! I have 3B hair and I got a perm 2 years ago, but I'm trying to cut all the relaxed hair off.

[@susanalopez6648]

You look so beautiful with curly hair!

[@HS-jh4zm]

So I'm a white girl with curly hair and I've spent the majority of my 27 years trying to hide the fact that i don't know how to style it! from wearing it in buns to trying to straighten it..but the past few years I've been trying to embrace it because I do LOVE curls. but after watching your video, I realize that my hair isn't healthy. It looks somewhat like a few of your damaged photos and I am desperately wanting to get it in shape! sorry for the lengthy comment, but I was wondering what kinds of protein treatments, deep conditioners and such that you might favor?

[@ems8717]

Holli Stanley I've seen some good reviews on organichairgrowthco on Instagtam

[@VanessaGarcia-tp2mi]

try using the new hydrate + repair protein power treatment from the Manuka Honey and Yogurt line (Shea Moisture) its BOMBBBBBB like it’s super thick and it makes my 3a/3b (little of 3c curls) curls so soft!!😭😍

[@hula62]

Me too. White girl with curl... my mom would torched me to get it straight. I have straightened it which fried it. I have just started going natural.

[@dianabiondo550]

Holli Stanley hi lovely I know i’m super late but i highly recommend any of shea moisture’s deep conditioners. I especially love the super fruit complex one and the Jamaican black castor oil one! also, using castor oil, rosehip oil, avocado oil and many others on your hair before showering will help with repairing It :)

[@ellie-pm9hp]

hello i know this is like...super late...but if it’s still damaged then just have a big chop, 4, 5, 6 inches or so. Treatments work 10x better when you chop a big chunk off! the new hair will grow back really healthy. Then look into treatments n stuff x

[@WaddahaMedani]

I started my natural hair journey in January of this year, I have noticed a lot of change to my hair even my friends started noticing that my hair is getting healthier and your video got me more motivated to continue my journey ❤

[@maikabarry]

You are legitimately the prettiest girl I have ever seen!! I strive to have hair like yours one day, I'm currently on my curly hair journey and hope my hair can grow like yours. 😍😩 This is hella inspirational I'm so glad I came across this vid!!

[@amberhusband9114]

A month ago I quit sulfates and silicones and developed a curly hair routine. *i also cut of a few inches* and my hair is so healthy now! Before it was frizzy and dead.

[@autumnleigh506]

I'm so happy you are comfortable with your natural hair! You are stunning

[@katpap6503]

No matter how much you ve damaged your hair you look gorgeous in most of these photos!☺ Even with the bad bleach I like your hair.

[@Amanda-hq9of]

your hair is AMAZING and so healthy looking! even your damaged transitioning hair still looked gorgeous!

[@leeanneHolgan]

Just beautiful! Just recently I had my hair cut at another salon but I've been getting Deva cuts for many years at Devachan on Broom street in Manhattan. I'm much older then you, but for the majority of my life I've had cuts that totally were working against what my natural hair wanted to do. And I was needing to blow dry the style that the stylist gave me. I knew my hair had lots of body,, but NEVER knew I had wavy, curly hair until I went to Devachan and Jackie cut my hair with its curl and waves in mind. I need to go back! Thank you for the inspiration :)

[@evelynallen8785]

HOLY SSSSSHHHITT. THERE’S ALWAYS HOPE

[@Mixedbeauty11]

I'm glad you share this viedo it can help inspire others who have experience breakage and bleach damage. You got be careful with hair salons and bleaching their supposed to put a protector to prevent you're hair from getting bleach damage. And plus it can be very costly which is why I do my hair treatment and bleaching treatment. My hair is the same way it grows really fast my hair had hair breakage from L'Oréal Oreo developer it expired and snapped one side of my hair. It had looked like I has shaved one side of my hair but I'm grateful my hair grew back along with my curl pattern.

[@Deandrax]

YOU HAVE BEEN SO BEAUTIFUL YOUR WHOLE LIFE WITH LEGIT EVERY HAIR STYLE ...I'm glad your hair is healthy now🌸

[@mayacsuthy3771]

i have curly hair and it’s suuuuper curly in the front and dry not rlly damaged but frizzy and the back is silky straight hair and no mater what curly hair products i use it is straight in the back and curly in the front

[@arreissuman]

I've never had so much hope for my hair! This is a video I can relate to with the damage!

[@YECRED22]

your curls are gorgeous. it's crazy that a lot of us curly girls don't know what our natural hair looks like. Like you my hair was so damaged that I cut most of it off and as I was washing it I started getting ringlets all over my head. I didn't put any heat my head and my hair grew like crazy.

[@jessicaagustin4822]

Yes!!! The same happened to me and my stylist!! 145 dollars to the garbage and tried lightening up myself because I’m a hair dresser.. but my hair started to break and it almost fried off!! Because the last hair dresser used a very high developer on my hair and it lost its porosity and became very elastic.. I’m planning to use step 2 protein treatment .. my hair feels fine still but.. I’m going back to black!

[@twilightselena4eva]

I had really thick curly hair but went blonde for two years, worst decision ever! All of my hair is broken, legit have no curly pattern anymore :( Had a massive break down because no matter what product i put in my hair, my hair was straight! It's proper thin too! But i've dyed it bk to brown now and after seen this video, i'm so determined to get healthy hair! Thanks gal xxx

[@kait8935]

i’m so obsessed w your curls if I had hair like that i’d never straighten it ughhhhdhdhd

[@karlarivera1514]

[@amandarrwalker]

+karla rivera thank you so much! And thank you for watching :)

[@zuki6249]

Girl, its not that Im saying you dont look good in straight but you look damn good in your natural curly hair. Its like its made to compliment you. I damaged my hair too during quarantine with bleach so Im just tryjng to give it a break and grow it out.

[@pepeandcat]

Curly hair is so special, fun, satisfying and mesmerizing to look at honestly, you should never hide those beautiful curls by straightening and damaging your hair I think that everyone looks their best with their natural hair type it just fits you know? I spent my whole life wanting straight hair because I didn't know how I could take care of my curly hair and due to that it was always frizzy and ugly which made me do keratin and nano treatments. Untill I one day discovered the curly community and Devacurl and my life has changed, literally everyone asked me how I'm taking care of my hair cuz it looked too good, bouncy, shiny af and healthy! ♥️ I'm never going back to dying/straightening again!

[@lalixy7210]

Is it possible to have healthy blonde colored hair? Bc I wanna have my curls and I wanna be blonde

[@sumiyahbintraafi3628]

Lala xy yes...lipstickncurls (3b) did it a while back. check her vids from like 2012, I loved it. also Ashley Bloomfield (3c) or something like that is currently blonde. I'm gonna try to do the lipstickncurls thing, I love the way it looks, just waiting for my hair to all get to roughly the same length. my back grows so much faster 😒 smh....anyway. YES to answer your question. ideally you do it on healthy virgin hair, but it all depends if your hair is still very healthy even though it isn't virgin

[@amandarrwalker]

+Sumiyah Bintraafi I agree! It is possible. At the time when I dyed my hair blonde, I was not at all concerned with my curly hair, so the health of my curls did not matter to me! I am looking to go lighter now, and am going to start off with lightening with color (non-damaging) and move onto bleach if I want a lighter lift. There is also olaplex which helps protect hair when lightening. I would suggest going to a credible Hair stylist, a curly specialist if possible, and don't try to rush it! ❤

[@amandarrwalker]

+Lala xy replied in comments ❤

[@lalixy7210]

Sumiyah Bintraafi thank you so much 💕💕 I watched so many youtubers and they all said you need to be natural to have healthy curls and this really shocked me bc I really want to be blonde

[@lalixy7210]

Amanda Walker I'm glad to hear that bc many youtubers say that you have to be natural to keep your curly hair. Could you pls do a video if you go lighter ? &Thanks for your reply❤️😘

[@marlenejaure4566]

[@Itzmeaayan928]

Wow girl those curls are great

[@abignoux]

i remember deciding to wear my hair natural, it was so nasty at first and everyone would stare because it was so bad and damaged but now 2 years on its the best decision i ever made i love my curls so much :)

wow what a transition, which deep conditioner & protein treatments did you use?? Ive got to know!!!

[@juliah14]

I'm so jealous. You went from almost no hair with so much damage to gorgeous long thick healthy curly hair!

[@ariasbeauty7193]

You’re freaking gorgeous 😍 I’m personally transitioning my hair myself and this makes me have more faith in my curls returning

[@catlady9933]

I've never gotten my hair colored but I have gotten my hair curled once and straightened twice and then straightened it at home like 2-3 times and that's the worst thing happened to my hair, my hair is soooooo damaged!! I havr terrible split ends and it's very dry but I'm on a hair journey to growing waist length and my hair is a lot better now that I've started taking care of it, I have very less frizz now and I haven't straightened or curled my hair in like 7 months. That's the best thing I've ever done for my hair, never straightening or curling or dyeing my hair ever again.

Girl .... lol girl same story with me ... I would always dye my hair until I decided to do black in the beginning of this year (WORST IDEA) so I went to the salon like 3 months after doing that to go lighter back to somewhat my natural dark brown ... all those chemicals .... lost my curls :( so now I’m on my journey to gain back my curls and to refrain from dying my hair again ....

[@DaniaMihaela]

I freaking hate when stylist rush it. Same happened to me and I was literally 17, few months later I so regret it. In one year I dyed my hair for about 4 times and even thought I know that my hair was curly I can’t see it anymore, it is wavy but looks dead and unhealthy. 2:45 is exactly the texture of my hair right now . I wanna freaking cut it all but that will lead to a drop of self esteem and and some anger attacks for sure

[@legyptianlove1234]

This is amazing, the best curly hair journey yet I loved that you kept posting photos of your journey and we actually got to see the transition great job and your hair looks gorgeous!!
