[@destinycole1495]

[@BlueBaby18]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL! Poor ting

[@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]

+Jiairra Carter it's been 6 days, not too much to update you all about lol💀

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@kayykayy5061]

check out my big chop video i did the other day.. and comment what you think. thanks

[@tatianastricklin9626]

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

[@ShayShayPatrice]

I was thinking that lol

[@ImEmony]

[@mmi97]

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

[@WinnieEmele]

Those scissors are BOMB hahaha

[@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

[@MoniqueLewisOfficial]

This has to be the bravest chop I've seen ahhhh well done

[@charletteburks831]

You are gorgeous u gave me the strength to cut mine off..I have the same problem..I'd rather have healthy hair than long hair 😘

[@reginah6711]

Monique Lewis That's what I said lol she did great

[@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!

[@ChrissyCousin]

Rhianon Annie McDowell thank you so much ❤️

[@alicemi4155]

I totally agree! You're a gorgeous woman and you look even prettier with the short hair. Your features are amazing!

[@aaniyaceline3036]

Anyone watching from 2019?

[@marypatillo5244]

Aaniya Celine yes

[@joyleath07]

Yup I lost so much hair due to straight neglect over the past two months. My hair was tangled and matted. It’s super thin now and still long but lost so much density.

Aaniya Celine me

[@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.

[@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. ;-;

[@LaTonyaC]

Omg. Omg. OMG. I'm scared to cut an inch. Girlllll. I'm going to do it. That inch needs to come off.

[@joneishasams8023]

girrrlll I was so scared as well before cutting my relaxed hair off.I promise you once you cut it,its gonna grow back like wildfire more healthy than ever!!

[@probablydeadinside2932]

One inch? I cut like 6 inches off

[@LaTonyaC]

+probably dead inside lol. I knowwwww. I just wanna cut an inch and I'm freakin

[@8126anne1]

Wow

[@elizabeth-7064]

LaTonya Moody MOOD, my ends are so dry and it sheds so much, next wash day it got to go!

[@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😂😂😩😭😭

[@alyangelle]

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

[@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.

[@growingglowing5053]

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!

[@raraoohlala1893]

My hair is really damaged and breaking shedding etc, I want to cut it off but I am so scared since I have always had long hair.

[@2008MrsKim]

Don't be scared. I'm sure you will rock it. Just DO IT !

[@ashIesha]

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.

[@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!

[@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

[@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

[@JenniferBX-NY]

You look stunning with short hair ! I love it ❤💙 I so want to cut mine but if I did it on my own I'd lose a finger lol lol

[@danie641]

Lmao me too

[@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.

[@Abc-lh8vy]

My motto when I cut my hair was “im gonna miss the length but not the damage” so 😝

[@Tee409]

I would loveee to do this but see my head too big 😂😂

[@faithjackson998]

sameee

[@ashleyr.9752]

[@lisaw9712]

[@denissel4727]

[@Melly-xoxo]

you know!! It be like that for me sister lool

[@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]

just cut it off and don't ask their permission that's what I did

[@kaylacosy]

+llio jones as in your hair is like straight on the ends when it should be curly?

[@kaylacosy]

+Kurly AF My dad is crazy and im not trying to lose my phone cause its the only way i can talk to my boyfriend since he moved so im scared😩😩 lol but i might. I'm 15 and i've been waiting too long im not tryna wait til 18

[@Pestopasta_]

+Kayla Potato tell them you're going to do box braids then chop it off when they aren't around. Go to braid it immediately so they don't see it lol.

[@MaShiaMone]

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

[@HouseofWeh]

Yes, I feel you. No one understands why I want to cut all this “beautiful hair” . They have no idea how hard this hair frontin. 😪😅 like yeah it looks good...sometimes...in some styles. 🤣

[@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

[@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 💕

[@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.

[@danialaguerre2504]

Short hair looks beautiful on you

[@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!!!

[@ItsMild]

Is**

[@ChrissyCousin]

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

[@carmenmendez2128]

My hair is kinda damaged. But i kinda wanna cut my hair like yours because I'm bored with my hair. But then short hair would probably make me look older. I'm only 14

[@starrwilliams7592]

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) :) ♥

[@kiarajefferson7530]

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.

[@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.

[@naybabi1000]

I just chopped all of mine off as well, except I cried lol

[@shannh6724]

Nari Lewis thats what Im gonna do.......cry like a baby

[@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.

[@laviesalvaje8467]

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 ☺️💕

[@Princesss93]

Goodness, I love it! It's so cute! It actually frames your face so well. The adjustment will be well worth it!

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you sooo much!❤️💕

[@erynesamuels]

I have been struggling going back and forth between the big chop, wanting to but hesitating each time I pick up the phone to schedule an appoint. Then THIS pops up on my home screen and confirms every doubt, I'm so thankful I found this channel...new subscriber. ❤️

[@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!!!

[@Fabsocialism]

YESSSSS START THAT JOURNEY SLAY

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you boo 😘💕❤️

[@wendynore6165]

Beautiful child....your face shape is perfect for anything. Stay blessed.

[@trenesia25]

Ms. Chrissy... I stumbled upon your channel last night and I am binge watching lol. You jus gained a new subscriber. Your video of your big chop has given me the courage to big chop all over again. I love it!!

[@christineacharles]

Girl... I shed an imaginary tear seeing you cut all of your hair off! :O totally inspired me to go back natural. I'm transitioning but I'm ready to just get rid of the old and in with the new. I will be following to see how your journey goes!

[@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 ❤️💋

[@rvquxenn_4588]

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

[@breeya7507]

I felt a tear coming out. Happy for ya!

[@NatalieDouglas02]

[@msdeej538]

[@msdeej538]

[@NatalieDouglas02]

+Natalie Douglas *your

[@msdeej538]

ok cool, I'll give you an update

[@ChialukaGold]

after she took that big chomp there was no turning back

[@classiseverything2me]

I did the same for the same reason. While it may be drastic it is soooo worth it bc it allows you to start all over armed with better info on the Do's and Don't on achieving and maintaining healthy hair leading to amazing results. Good luck on you journey!!!!

[@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!!

[@ExquisiteKinkyCoils]

Your new hairstyle is so cute and really brings out your natural beauty. Cutting your hair off and growing it out again in a healthy way is not only smart, but proactive in being natural and healthy. As one who've done 3 big chops over the past 20+ years of being natural, growing your hair out in healthy way is a smart decision.

[@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

[@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!

[@PINKRIOT]

I look forward to following your future videos!

[@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

[@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

[@JasmyneTomlin]

[@ChrissyCousin]

[@tomikacox360]

[@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

[@sierramccarroll6421]

Yes girl !! 🙌🏾👑 I know this video is so old but I’m so proud of you for doing this, cutting all that dead weight off effortlessly I love you ❤️ so inspiring

[@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!

[@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!

[@ashley_audacious]

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

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you!😊💕

[@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.

[@VanessaKanbi]

I absolutely love it. Your face is so beautiful 😍. I recently also cut all my hair off but bleached it - mistake. Trying to get it back black now! Love your style x

[@20gees]

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

[@neshaaal5509]

I had long hair & I recently cut it mostly all off. The biggest misconception is that having long hair means it's healthy. I hated explaining to ppl on the outside looking in that it wasn't healthy! Sooo annoying. Good luck on your journey! ✨☺️

[@ChrissyCousin]

Girl I definitely feel you, some don't understand and thank you so much. 💕😘

[@renaescott7600]

I had BSL relaxed hair earlier this year and big chopped in early spring. Best decision EVER big chopping and going back natural. I was having postpartum shedding and most people were telling me to just take vitamins but I just wanted a fresh start 😊. Hope you enjoy this journey 🙌🏽

[@JiannisJourney]

YESSSSSS! I've been wanting to do the big chop for like a month now and you're so inspiring I can't wait to cut it all off & start fresh

[@lostmoon7040]

To be honest I might cut my hair off later on when I go to college. When I was in the beginning of middle school I used to hate having naturally curly hair, and I would have my mom take me to salons to do straightening treatments. Now though I realise that having naturally curly hair is amazing and I'm actually happy I have it and I embrace my curls. The problem is though that with the treatments it's kind of lessened my curls and now a lot of times my hair just looks super wavy with a slight curl.

[@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 😘

[@AmazinAssh]

Love your energy! This just gave me an extra boost to go ahead and cut my hair! “It’s just hair!”

[@tawandraford2654]

I did my big chop 4 years ago and now my hair is down my back but it’s not healthy anymore... All I want is healthy hair again I was unsure if I wanted to do the big chop again but after watching your video I can’t wait! Thanks for the encouragement!

[@rateetop]

"A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life ".. Coco Chanel . you look great hun ! new subbie

[@ChrissyCousin]

Thank you ☺️ love that quote.

[@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!

[@amberdixon4113]

Chrissy, I've been looking for guidance on whether I should do the big chop or not. I'm in the same boat you were in and I love you for this! It literally made me tear up because it just gave me the confidence to do what I feel is right. Thank you so much.

[@newnatural6778]

I love your confidence and commitment to doing what's best for you 👍🏾. It looks beautiful.

[@liike_jennifer192]

you look so good with the short hair 😍

[@ChrissyCousin]

Aww thank you ❤️

[@ChrissyCousin]

+Reign ☺️ thank you!

[@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.

[@trelliebadd]

I wish i had your bravery, i love this video for so many reasons!

[@kobylomax]

I just did a big chop too! Posting my video tomorrow! It takes some getting used to but when doing this. You really learn to love your hair! I cut mine 2 days ago and since then, my curls have been POPPING!! And I've gotten soooo many compliments on how healthy my hair looks! I'm on this journey with you!! My goal is waist length !
