[@BreaB15]

LOVE that you're showing young women how to not be so attached to our hair!! It's JUST hair! 👏🏾👏🏾

[@ChrissyCousin]

Yes ma'am ☺️❤️ thank you!

[@jiairracarter7292]

+Chrissy Cousin how come you haven't made an update on this video the big chop 🤔

[@ChrissyCousin]

[@jiairracarter7292]

+Chrissy Cousin oh I thought this video was old 😂

[@danie641]

im bit scared. I just need to get rid of this fat on my neck before I go short lbs

[@tatianastricklin9626]

Is anybody else satisfied by how the scissors cut so clean?😩

[@ShayShayPatrice]

[@mmi97]

Thats the main reason i watch these videos😝 & to see the results lol

[@WinnieEmele]

Those scissors are BOMB hahaha

[@Feliciatanktop]

I'm glad more and more people are realizing how damaged their hair is and doing the big chop to start a healthy hair journey. I see people of every race and ethnicity and age doing it, I love it!

[@xsimplyteex4361]

Felicia I'm doing it soon😊 tired of my heat damaged hair

[@kelsierra3056]

I want to do mines it just don't know how I'll look with bald head

[@amiya7994]

Felicia I was thinking about becoming natural but I’m absolutely positive I wont be cutting it this short I’m just gonna be cutting the straight ends and plus I really wanna know my curl pattern badly. My sister recently cut her hair off about 5 months ago and she has loose curls and my other sister has been a natural for about 2 years and she has very thick hair.

[@porshasimmons1182]

The time has come for me now I cut my hair very short. I was So tired of my damaged hair and felt like there was nothing I could do to it. I'm happy to be on this journey to repair my hair and keep it natural. You're so Beautiful♡

[@ivemcfallen9117]

Im doing it too it got really heavy and frizzy and damaged

[@o.julia_9046]

*I want to big chop my hair but I’m getting really irritated when people say I shouldn’t, just because my hair is long doesn’t mean it’s healthy 🤨🤦🏾‍♀️* Edit: so I ended up cutting my hair but since I’ve been relaxing my hair from a very young age I don’t know how to manage natural hair at all. I think my hair type is a 4a-4b and it is VERY thick. So because I didn’t know how to do my hair at all I got it perm curled and it looks really nice but it’s really annoying because when I wash my hair literally a handful of my hair comes out and now it’s quarantine my natural roots are growing back I kind of want to go natural again but I don’t have any products for my natural hair and my mum doesn’t know how to do hair either so I don’t know what to do. EDIT: 2 years later I cut my hair again and it’s fully natural now 😁😁

[@buu2923]

Ora Julia meeee toooo

[@AIGrace_]

I can relate

[@feldulce6741]

Exactly!!!

[@kitanacalvin1174]

I really feel this! My boyfriend would kill me if I cut my hair! I’m still doing it

[@viral_ari9882]

I can so relate

[@carlywash6724]

Big chop videos are scarier than any scary movie I have ever seen before

[@maggie1000]

Carly Wash If you don't want to big chop just stop damaging your hair (like with heat and chemicals etc) and let your hair grow since it grows from the roots then once your new growth is a length you like start cutting off the damaged hair

[@maggie1000]

Carly Wash It doesn't have to be all at once! Like I decided I wanted to go natural but I didn't want to do the big chop so I just stopped flat ironing it and using heat (I had stopped relaxer 2yrs ago and had colored it dark red 1yr ago) and since my hair has been growing I've just progressively been cutting off the dead hair each time my natural hair grows. So it's been at the same length bc when it grows 1inch I cut 1inch off the end but now my hair is all natural so I don't have to cut anymore just trim it! :)

[@_barbiechocolat]

Carly Wash I think is adorable! I am a scissor lover 💗💗💗

[@nathanielmanns1055]

Im doing a big chop soon

[@rhianonanniemcdowell7369]

There's something really beautiful about women taking back their beauty! Society tells us we have to have long straight hair to be beautiful... But they need to watch this! You could be down-to-the-skin bald and you'd still stop traffic!

[@sincerelychriistina4582]

Hey hey heyyy

[@taylorsmith777]

Ugh your hair looks so perfect I'm so jealous..I did the big chop few days ago and it was your length, until my dad said that I needed to "level it out", so he took me to the barbershop where my brother used to and he gets his hair cut. I told the lady I didn't want any additional length removed..But he told her to how many inches to give me. I'm so pissed, now I look like my little brother when he was 12..They think it's hilarious and don't think it's a big deal because they're hair is always short, and it pisses me tf off so much because my hair takes forever to grow and I loved my hair. And he's like "it looks great" while laughing and I'm seriously thinking stfu I'm starting college in a few days idgaf if you think it looks nice, now look like a teenage boy..I am seriously so pissed right now I'm crying and fuming, I'm so furious at them...uhh sorry I needed to rant

[@ChrissyCousin]

Lol omgggg girlll I understand!! Sometimes you just need to get it out and rant! But yea as you can see everybody is telling me to go to the barber and get a little shape up too. I ended up just cutting the rest off and now I have a full fade! Like Stevie J 😂 if that makes you feel any better. Atleast you went to the barber!! I'm here with you girl don't worry❤️ lol

[@taylorsmith777]

Aw, thanks❤

[@charlienchocfact]

In the future you are going to laugh your ass off like I am right now at that story. Years ago, I let my mom line me up and she took a chunk out of the back. A mere trim left me with a bald spot that I had to cover with black shoe polish for weeks. She was upset more than I was truly. I was in shock. All I could do was laugh at myself. Laughter is healing girl and sometimes it's best to rebuild your vanity with a stronger foundation. I bet your beautiful either way. Your confidence got tested. You passed.

[@spamelaacc7237]

castor oil. something similar happened to me and castor oil grew my hair A LOT. also, love your short hair. it takes a very strong person to rock short hair. after the 'big chop' i had to learn how to love short hair on me and now, yes there are times when i want long hair but soon you will begin to appreciate the way it feels and the way it makes you fell.

[@chocolateloni]

Taylor Smith sadd

[@icantgetridofthisusernamehelp]

Exactly! Like, my hair has been damaged for months. I plan on cutting it (tomorrow, in fact). But of course everyone is asking me, "Why would you cut it?" Well, I have tons of split ends and breakage in the back of my head, my afro looks funny. I don't want it anymore. I wanna start over. My mom is fine with it, seeing as she's seen firsthand how damaged my hair is. My father and stepmother, however, as protective of my "beautiful natural hair" they are, are so mad at me for it. They don't understand. ;-;

[@pleasantlyme6136]

Love the short cut but girl just throw some aphogee protein in it and them curls will pop severely. Would've popped at ur long length but I understand. I just cut mine off in 2013 and it's back already.

[@Tyronhi]

where do you buy that at ?

[@MzMyslynk]

+Antionette Douglass at just about any beauty supply store. I know for sure Sallys beauty supply has it.

[@crystalortiz6757]

Michelle LCHF well dead hair is dead hair. if it's a bit dry or weak or just a bit damaged then yea that's fine. but by looking at her hsir, it's dead and it was necessary

[@nessyshanks1551]

Michelle LCHF aphogee is defiantly not a cure all. My hair was damaged and I put aphogee on my hair and it was just a waste of money. It does work wonders on some folks hair though (obliviously). Also in the comments I believe I saw her say she didn't want to do that.

[@mykiamoto7145]

Girl that Aphogee treatment is life!

[@janeedrahicks7037]

see I have a big forehead. My struggle going to be real lmao

[@angeljohnson8301]

Janee' Hicks girl same😂

[@angelbennett3277]

I feel this comment 😭😭😭

[@shanycewilliams4695]

Girl, the struggle is real. I got mine "cut into a style", well she didn't do it how I wanted. Gave me an old school finger wave after chopping off my hair. And I didn't even need it cut. I've been natural for six years, I just wanted a nice change. But after seeing the cut on me with my forehead, I regretted the moment I stepped foot in that salon. Make sure you find a style that fits your face that either you or somebody can master.

[@forevamarii2844]

Janee' Hicks Girrlll I feel youuu 😩😭😂

[@aanation7914]

OOOOHHHH girl my forehead is a whole other level😂😂😩😭😭

[@Pp.lolita.dollie]

Wow. The first time I’ve seen somebody cut they’re own hair (Who’s not a professional) and it actually looks AMAZING! Well done! I’ve been wanting to cut my hair for a while now. I’m a freshman in high school. I decided that I would cut it this summer! Thank you so much! You have made me feel a little more brave and confident about cutting it. My mother and grandmother ALSO have short hair.

[@WeddingxPeach97]

I honestly I'm kinda considering doing this but I'm honestly so scared to do it something about losing all my length and not having a whole lot of hair just makes me anxious the end result and having healthy hairs is desirable but the process of basically having no hair is frightening

[@teeniejuicy]

WeddingxPeach97 I'm with you, im really considering doing it either in a month, or on my 18th bday next year just to prepare myself, im going to have to do it one day, might as well do it now. Because my hair is just not at the potential I know it can be, ive been natural for almost a year and my hair has gotten much healthier, but it's been at the same state for a while. So I guess I'm ready for a change, and I'm ready to get my hair even healthier.

[@Day4daysx]

It’s just hair girl lol

[@kmyanicole3421]

Same here !! I’ve been natural for five years and gotten to the point where I was like I just can’t continue to leave my hair so unhealthy . Since I’m so used to getting my hair cut I know it wouldn’t be a problem to get it cut again and start over

[@jaysspot8141]

Constellationillustrations Itll grow back...stronger n better than ever! Im doing my big chop in 2 more months..i have about 4-6 inches of new growth now..so when i do the chop i wont be w/o hair lol..if you get my drift!!

[@bellebella4718]

Cool

[@ChrissyCousin]

I see everyone's comments, even if I don't get to reply to everyone. You all are so supportive and positive and I love you all so much for that.💖 Thanks for all the advice and encouraging words. - Chrissy 💋

[@looksbymartikathomas]

I'm cutting my hair soon (this would be my third big chop btw) and I told my grandparents and the way they reacted was a little disheartening, but what most people don't realise is that your hair just doesn't stop growing, if it's being properly nourished, taken care of, and you don't have anything medically wrong. They also don't understand that in order to have healthier looking hair, that sometimes that is a step that has to be taken. With that being said you're a gorgeous girl, and after cutting it your hair will grow back thick and healthy. You are so inspiring and I'm excited for your journey. I am learning that hair is just hair and to not let it define how I feel about myself. I have very unhealthy hair at the moment (color damage, heat damage, etc.) and I will be cutting it off despite the way anyone feels. Thanks for making this video Chrissy❤

[@looksbymartikathomas]

I apologize for the essay.

[@kemifree4life]

Literally cut my hair while watching this video. Everything you said in the beginning is how I felt about my hair. Went in the kitchen, took scissors and now I'n a new journey also!

[@alyangelle]

You have such a beautiful face! This cut looks gorgeous on you. Good luck with your journey!

[@ashleystyles6636]

girl i feel you, i went threw the same thing. I was holding on to my damaged hair and everyone would tell not to cut it but you just know when its time to just start over. my hair was very dry, brittle, and it was always shedding so i cut it all off......now it has been 1 year later my hair is popping

[@Leahbabez14]

im full black and my hair is like that but its only up to my shoulders should i cut it? ive never cut it before im 19 noww btw

[@briannaf9490]

+Leah Williams what was the point of saying you're full black? Just shut up

[@NotSoNormalNerd]

+Brianna F I mean it was unnecessary but it's also unnecessary for you to tell her to shut up

[@ElaneIzRandom]

+Leah Williams what you could do before just cutting it is look at your routine and see if there are changes to be made to that and if after about 2-3 months its still bad then yeah

[@Leahbabez14]

+Brianna F because im full black i have real puffy hair i dont mean to offend anyone i just know cutting black hair is different to cutting a light akinned persons hair like you cant stretch it out to much i just need some tips no need to get triggered

[@ItsMild]

The best BIG CHOP I've seen in a long time! I'm celebrating my 5 years natural today and it was the best decision I've made! Your hair will be so beautiful... It already it!!!

Aw thank you and congrats to you that is amazing, I know your hair is beautiful ❤️

[@lischellejones]

I had to smoke a blunt watching this. Seriously, my heart was touched because I have soooooo many single strand knots that I know that it's time for me to do the same thing. I went natural three years ago when I turned 18. So this hair is what I'm used to my whole adult life basically. And going back, it seems crazy lol. But thanks for the inspiration. It looks amazing on you. And I'm so excited to see this healthier hair yet to come. I'm a subbie 💕

[@MaShiaMone]

you look GORGEOUS with short hair. It's so liberating watching other women do this. I literally shed tears watching you do this.

[@kaylacosy]

I wanted to do this so bad for so long😩 i have so much hair and its so damaged. My parents would not let me cut it but i just got it dyed a couple days ago. My parents don't understand how great and healthy my hair would be. I feel exactly how you feel. My hair grows back so fast and i say exactly what you say when you said "Its just hair". But you look beautiful with short hair❤️❤️❤️ love it

[@isabellebarbaresi1826]

can i have some advice ¿ my hair looks like her hair when she combed it but my hair is so heavy that my curls are flat . should i cut it ❤

[@Nicole-im1xq]

I promise you that your hair will thank you for it It will flourish

[@mmi97]

I was the same way! but i fell in love with my cut! you dont have to go really short maybe just a bob & trust me you'll love it !

[@princesslukeia]

Girl I'm about that chop mine on Friday.... I'm scared cause I've never seen myself with short hair but it's unhealthy so I must 😭

[@MrChrissybaba]

That was me a year ago always had long hair put some braids in March took them out in May washed my hair it became a ball of knots. Had no other choice but to cut. Even then I held on to some of the length but it was wired looking so in October I big chopped it in my bathroom. It coming back nicely but it's hard work to keep up being a working mom and all.

[@PFloyd-px7hm]

WOW!!! I am soooo ... I have no words. She's right it's just hair and hair doesn't make the woman. My hair is so damaged and uneven, do to severe anemia, to the point where they were talking about giving me blood transfusions which is not happening to, having to have ablation surgery, to stem the loss of blood and of course my hair has suffered and I need to start fresh, I'm scared tho cuz, I'm older, heavier and unsure if I can pull off a twa (okay I'm a bit vain too) but I gotta do it. U didn't even have to cut as much as u did, but you have inspired me! I'm going in.

[@FreshRosies]

I've been watching big chop/cutting my hair video for the past three days and i finally cut my own hair with the most dull scissors. No more relaxer for the first time since i was five.

[@theonekayy2251]

I recommend you getting a fully braided| No leave out| sew in , and to keep it in for about 3 months because now that it's cut, your hair will grow wonders and when your hair is braided for that long, your hair will grow thicker stronger and even more longer, with a tighter curl pattern. I had this experience and before I got my 3 month sew in, I had my hair cut a bit and it was very damaged and broken off(Around the end of March) and when I took it out(June 21), The new growth was INSANE! I have picture of the braids and you couldn't even see them. I actually thought the braids were detached from my head Lol. But my curl pattern was tighter than ever and I gradually let my hair grow and cut the ends slowly over time. This is just a recommendation and wish the best for your hair. Love your new look btw. It is Highkey cute 😻. You will it regret it and keep going!

[@theonekayy2251]

Not regret it*

[@241Genevieve]

but doesn't it smell , I've never put weaves on and worry about this especially starting my new fitness

[@theonekayy2251]

+241Genevieve If you want the benefits I do suggest you do it| The smelling could definitely be bad but you can wash your head like normal (I didn't do this personally because I didn't have a bad smell, but everyone's hair is different) you can search for "how to wash your hair with a sew in" videos and hope that helps. With your fitness, you can get your hair fully braided and get a wig, I believe it would have the same benefits because it's all about the braids and the time you leave it in. And after a fitness you can take the hair off and wash the braids if you want :) hopefully it helps, Wish you the best!

[@ChrissyCousin]

Aww thanks girl!! And also for the advice ☺️💕

[@PINKRIOT]

I did my 2nd big chop 2 1/2 months ago and my hair was close to armpit length. it was the best decision I ever made, my hair was a mess, damaged, super dry I just couldn't deal anymore. I know Its gonna grow back anyway but now it will be healthier. Good luck on your journey!

My hair was totally damaged from relaxing it since i was five. I've been in and out natural ever since. I recently cut off all my hair and I've found that it made me look much younger! People tell me i look 12 (I'm actually 16) :) ♥

me too! my hair when stretched (in my kitchen) is up to my collarbone, and when the front (where my edges are) is stretched is up to maybe a little past the tip of my nose. i will say that it makes you look younger. I have a truly juvenile face and I wear makeup all the time and people really do think I look 12. But it is worth it for the health.

[@itshelina]

my hair was so damaged and i decided to cut it when i was 13 hella short, now im 14 almost 15 and my hair is a lot healthier and now collar bone length (stretched) i recommend cutting it so when u reach highschool your hair will thrive

[@neveralone3044]

+Star Williams I cut my relaxed ends at 13. I'm 14 now going on 15 in October and my hair looks great! I do naturally look older, however so I mean cutting my hair didn't make me look any older (or younger)

[@carmenmendez2128]

Idk people always tell me I look older anyways, even though I have an extreme baby face. But I think I'll maybe wait until I'm 16 or 17, imma see how my hair does. I've never had a relaxer before, so I've been natural my whole life. The thing is I always get my hair straight. I don't really like my hair curly, its like 3C 4A. But yeah. If i get short hair I will probably just straighten it anyways. I have heat damage because I have these straight, stringy ends when my hair is in it's natural state.

[@danialaguerre2504]

Short hair looks beautiful on you

[@JasioWazio]

We're doing this together! I cut my hair too 😊

[@JasioWazio]

I permed my hair and kept it braided so I had a lot of new growth so I cut of my permed hair... it was kind of a relief because my permed hair wasn't growing and when I was young I had long hair but my mom permed it and it broke off so yeah my hair was damaged so my mom put it in braids (a protective style)

[@applez514]

+Jasmine Norris (Jksnorris23) thats my story too but i'm TOO scared to cut it off

[@ChrissyCousin]

Yes we are!! Good luck doll☺️❤️

[@JasioWazio]

+applez514 well I'm not gonna tell u what to do because at the end of the day it's ur decision... but it's better to end it then dealing with it every day but u can still put it in braids and wear weave or just wear it out and maybe it will grow to be longer then what it was or is❣️😊

[@applez514]

+Jasmine Norris (Jksnorris23) thats true

[@ariandretti6612]

I watch this video about every month or so to remind myself of how much confidence this video gave me to go natural. Love you babygirl.

[@Highspiritsx7]

Doesn't it feel liberating? I just did my big chop yesterday after years of trying to grow out heat/bleach damage and I'm so excited to start over !!! glad I found someone on the same type of time as me wish you the best on your journey doll

[@shellzbespazin]

your hair looks great!!

[@Fabsocialism]

YESSSSS START THAT JOURNEY SLAY

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you boo 😘💕❤️

[@markleesolo9788]

had long hair all my life but i get tired fast and my style always changes so i’ve cut it super short before + permed + dyed it all at once, went natural, hair grew long again, got a texturizer, bleached and dyed it, now im waiting til december to cut it off again. i can’t wait!! been binge watching binge chops for weeks. miss my natural curl pattern and my hair grows back fast.

[@natashahubbert4438]

Girl that is cute and you have a beautiful face so you pulled it off flawlessly.

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you☺️💕

[@m3m3fuzionz67]

foreal. She's killing it with the short hair her fine self

[@HisNeverland]

the new look is so cute on you!! it goes so well with your facial structure! the old was beautiful as well, but i love the new, too!

[@ChrissyCousin]

Aww thanks 😘

[@JasmyneTomlin]

This looks great on you!!😍😍😍 can't wait to see the future updates 😊

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you! 💕😊

[@thatssohotch3891]

She is so beautiful with and without all of that hair. Also that makeup is so amazing I couldn't stop staring at those brows.

[@maureensylviaa]

It looks so cute on you! You make me want to cut my hair again lol

[@1Nette]

When are you going to start back uploading?

[@maureensylviaa]

+Fleur Rebelle Good question! Lol I've been super busy with work and my ring light broke so I need to get another one bc the natural lighting in my room sucks, so hopefully This month! Bear with me please!

[@ChrissyCousin]

Aww thank you doll ❤️💋

[@SharayaMW]

I'm confused. I looked at every last one of those pictures in the slideshow and even with color the hair looks totally cared for and healthy. I don't know what you're looking for but it is also okay to try different things. I'd be grateful for hair like that. God Bless

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you! And that was actually pictures of my hair when I first big chopped, when my hair was healthy. Those pictures were before I experienced heat damage and also damage from bleaching my ends. Hopefully this cleared things up for you.

[@SharayaMW]

Yes ma'am. Heat damage - the reason I'm afraid to flat iron my own hair. LoL I'm sure that you could rock any kind of hairstyle though. You're a pretty woman. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@1800martina]

I've been going through some hair issues and I've been in denial trying to save it for years. And I'm still battling. After watching your videos, you've helped me mentally prepare for the big chop of my natural hair. I need it to be healthy. Tomorrow is the big day!!

[@DaishaView]

I'm gonna be cutting my dreads soon. I totally sympathize with this video! People will get mad that you're cutting your hair because it's "so long" but if it ain't healthy it don't matter lol. Even if it is healthy and long, if you wanna cut it then it's YOUR hair and you have that right 💁🏽

[@ThickNCurly1]

have you considered taking the locs a loose instead of cutting them off?

[@DaishaView]

+ThickNCurly1 I considered it, but I want to start over completely.

[@ChrissyCousin]

You are right and GOODLUCK with your new upcoming journey doll💕 thank you!☺️

[@campierre9781]

Bruh you look so pretty with both short and long hair new sub 😍😍

[@ashley_audacious]

you look so pretty with ur hair like that. cant wait to see ur journey

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you!😊💕

[@samanthacovington6556]

Firstly, it should be no one's business or right to judge. Your hair is your's and your's alone, I'm just grateful you're sharing your journey.

[@DivinitysDaughter]

I'm thinking about cutting my hair next summer, and I told my friend's about it and some of them oppose to it and it sorts of pulls me back from cutting it because I never wanted to cut my hair that short before (like a pixie cut) My hair is very damaged and I explained to them that I don't want to keep holding on to these dead hairs. My hair has been relaxed and this past year, ironed and blow dried every week, my mom said she relaxed it because it was hard to handle (And she's used to using chemicals). I'm African and Puerto Rican (Mom is African and Dad is Puerto Rican) And both sides of my family have curly hair. My mom's side is tighter and more like 4c or 4b while my Dad's side is wavy. I've seen my baby pictures and I had beautiful curly hair and I want that again. I want it to be curly and free! You are a part of my motivation and inspiration that I am building up so that I can cut it. Honestly, I'm really attached to my hair and right now it's at shoulder length but when I was younger it was longer and I know it can go way longer. I can't wait!

[@ChialukaGold]

after she took that big chomp there was no turning back

[@tomikacox360]

what do you use to record your videos? it's such professional quality and sound

[@ChrissyCousin]

Nikon d5500 and iMovie lol

[@tomikacox360]

+Chrissy Cousin OMG I just googled it and it's super expensive! I had no idea people pay this much money to record KZbin videos. wow... professional quality though. you get what you pay for!

[@ChrissyCousin]

+Tomika Cox lol no honestly you don't even need to get some of these cameras. I use one feature which is for videos and I don't even use anything else. I also got it on sale

[@tomikacox360]

+Chrissy Cousin yeah well the sale price I saw was $850! lol

[@emekaokafor8275]

i go weak in my knees when i see a natural black woman thank god for the internet!..you are soo gorgeous

[@lexxlovelyness]

So liberating for some reason .... Made me subscribe lol plus I wanna see your hair journey now!

[@MiVidaBellisima]

Bald headed girls are gonna hate lol it's just hair it grows back. I did a really short big chop a couple years ago and it's past my shoulders so as long as you're confident you know how to take care of it you'll be fine 😊

[@MiVidaBellisima]

Not necessarily bald headed but unconfident

[@Kamitinae]

You cut that really nice..love it!

[@ChrissyCousin]

I tried lol but thank youuu!! ☺️

[@mayyasoares2972]

I've been wanting to cut my hair because i think it is too damage and I don't like it this way but everybody has been telling me not to so I've been trying not to... The point is that this video just made my mind up, and you know what Imma cut my hair first thing this weekend I swear to God!! And I'm not gonna let anyone call me dumb by doing it. Thank you so much for this you are actually the reason why I'm doing this

[@rvquxenn_4588]

Is it just me or is it soo satisfying when she cuts it 😂❣

[@MissAshleigh]

Work! I love it! You have the bone structure for it. ❤️

[@jamiefortenberry7164]

Your so beauitful

[@ChrissyCousin]

Aw thank you!!💕😘

[@Niamirismom]

Sides already shaved, the rest hangs to my chin. I'm cutting that off, too much maintenance! Starting over for the 5th time. Lol!

[@aldayasiart]

On October 15, 2016 I've decided I wanted a change and started to search "big chop" on youtube and stumbled across your videos. On that day because I watch you do it I had the urge and courage to do the same, and it's been two years since I've been natural and I've decided to cut my hair once again and start over due to heat damage and my hair not being the same so thank you for helping me, and giving me the courage and now I can love my hair in every way shape and form that it grows in!! I LOVE MY CURLS

[@graziellacallus4199]

i think your face is so nice that whatever you do it suites you. Well done

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you!!!

[@20gees]

Watching her cut this is like getting stab each time she cut it lmao 😫😫 omg , but it's gorgeous 😍💕

[@liike_jennifer192]

[@ChrissyCousin]

Aww thank you ❤️

[@ChrissyCousin]

+Reign ☺️ thank you!

[@Quiezzie1119]

I just did my 2nd big chop TODAY!! It was either getting rid of it or getting a relaxer. I love the freedom I have too. Good for you!

[@rodshaymcclain]

Lol

[@GrlWthTheTatt2]

SWEATERGAWD!!!

[@simivongola538]

I would suggest u cut ur hair with hair shares and cut ur hair dry (u can shampoo afterwards). cutting ur hair wet and with regular scissors increase spit ends and knots.

[@rachelclarke2856]

Simi Vongola That is so true

[@rebel8440]

Wow thank you! Can you explain the reason for this?

[@KrystoKleer]

yeah I can definitely see where your hair is damaged. the cut looks cute on you though. good luck on your new hair journey. I'll be watching.

[@shaylahhenning]

I can’t express how much this video helped me! I recently cut my hair for the EXACT same reason. People would say the same thing to me about my hair but they didn’t even know the half. Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@naturallyphilo]

You still a baddie!!!

[@Only1Charnelle]
