Re’iona of Ellusions Salon is the stylist in New Orleans who did my big chop ❤️ Here’s her IG: instagram.com/ellushions_curls?igshid=bw1w78urtl9v

[@deaudreahorne]

YoursNaturally11 Reiona is my hairstylist here in New Orleans! I love her so much.

[@Ducky190]

[@chanyisme]

I might go get a cut when I'm down there next month...

[@AuthorLHollingsworth]

If you want to color your hair in the future, you can try a nice Rinse. Your hair is so beautiful!

[@AyeItsJu]

Short healthy hair is and looks so much better than long damaged hair !! Can’t wait for the new short hair videos !

[@KimmieDiamond]

Preach!

[@JoyDejaKing]

Love the new short hair cut!! She knows how to take care of her hair, so it will grow back super long in no time. Bleach is hair suicide. I don’t care what any KZbinrs say. People with coarser strands can sustain it a little better in terms of thickness/volume but even their hair looks super dry when they zoom in. I respect her for being honest. Most YT’s try to swear it doesn’t damage their hair or change their curl pattern. All lies. Just say you want to bleach your hair and you don’t care if it gets damaged. That’s what I did years ago and I learned my lesson.

[@YoursNaturally11]

Thank you love! and yes, so true. I find a lot of people are so embarrassed to say that their hair is damaged because people look up to them for hair advice but, lets be honest, its rare to see a healthy blonde. I enjoy being transparent. :) and thanks for watching my journey 😘

Post Partum shedding is no joke honey, I'm glad you opted for healthy hair over transitioning.

[@WilliamsPinch]

All of us professionals know the risk before using bleach to lift with any volume activator. It permanently leaves the hair strands more vulnerable to even further damage. And very rarely will you have healthy blonde/ light brown hair when you’re lifting from levels 1-3. I always tell clients if you want to do high lift, be prepared to eventually lose some length 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@YoursNaturally11]

Exactly, but you shouldn't have to cut it all off lol

Are "reds" safer for your hair? I want to add some color but I'm scared of the bleach.

Deja Bolton I’m not going to keep going back and forth, schooling people in the comments about when hair is damaged, it’s damaged. The end. The only thing conditioners do is disguise it, but never build the hair back up. My cuticles were blown two weeks later. The end. I know what my hair went through. I just don’t understand the need to question my truth. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@@YoursNaturally11 Thank you for updating us on what led to your decision to big chop again. We truly appreciate your honest sharing! Many times a question or comment is made by others that seems adamant. Yet, it's possible that the person is conflicted. On the one hand they are trying to understand, grapple with or internalize an idea or concept that is foreign, and on the other hand they believe something strongly that conflicts with the new information. Sometimes new ideas just require repetition, & time to be fully accepted.

I can relate girl I’ve been watching your videos for years, I just cut my hair for the 6th time yesterday. I have alopecia My curls have changed and basically left me, it is thinning, dry and shedding.... I am now debating if I want to start this journey over again. I see a dermatologist and I see a dietitian soon. I’ve been to a trichologist last month. My hair and body are fighting each other. I’m glad you shared your story with us. I appreciate your honesty. I even got a deva cut 2 months ago hoping to save my fine hair as well. I was a 4a/4b I’m now a 4c and straight in the front. I have watched your hair bounce back so many times. You will be back to your hair glory soon. You give me hope💕 I can’t wait to see your progress.

[@YoursNaturally11]

I'm so sorry that you are going through this; I'm hoping for the best for you through this journey. Thank you for staying positive, even during this trying time for you. I really appreciate your loyal support. Fingers crossed and hands together for a solution and much love your way 😘❤️

Girl, I totally feel you on wanting to color my hair blonde so badly. I always think about it but then one day I was just like, it’s not worth it. I’ve colored my hair and bleached my natural hair so much that I know it’s gonna turn out damaged. It’s been years since I’ve had to cut out the heat damage, but I’ve definitely had to big chop more than once. It’s okay, your not alone! 💕

Thank you so much! I'm glad that I can share this with y'all and have some different content on the way. ❤️

[@rainabeaugris363]

I remember when I first big chopped my hair I hated it because I didn’t feel confident so I went almost two years without ever wearing my real hair out because my hair had never been that short, every time I’d put hair extensions in then take them out then put them back in . But now that my hair has gotten so much longer I can truly say that it was all worth it I just wish I’d done it sooner. Your hair will grow back , I love the new look❤️❤️

[@CC-ll3ek]

I’m so glad you decided to big chop! I noticed a huge difference in your hair in your last four or five videos, but never wanted to mention it. There was definitely a difference in it, however, you’re on the road to recovery! 🙌🏾

So the only color will be semi permanent! Love your channel keep it come,we are here for it!

We are all beautiful with or without hair. There was no excuse necessary, but thanks for sharing your story. I definitely understand. I have been natural since 2006, but I have chopped off all of my hair too many times to count because I made my share of natural hair no-nos. I have finally learned my lesson, and I'm growing out my natural hair again. I have enough pictures to remind me to just leave my hair alone whenever I have the itch to get my hair straightened, dyed, cut in a "style," or whatever.

[@CharliGirl868]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Yes ma'am. I believe in not holding on to damaged hair. I got mine trimmed a couple weeks ago cuz I had split ends. Before that, I chopped a 2nd time after I did transition from heat damage. My hubby was tryna convince me to hold on to it, but I had to explain it to him in cornbread language that it's dead, it's gotta go and it'll grow back. That trim made me feel so much better and my hair feels better too. I do color my hair, but nothing drastic like light brown or blonde. Auburn is as light as I go. I'm not mad at anybody who chopped for the 2nd or the 50-11teenth time. It'll grow back and if not, there are wigs that don't look like grandma Moses.

My hubby hates when I want to trim my hair too. But I tell him that if doesn't get trimmed it's just going to break off and look worse and I'll have to cut more off.

Hi, Ashley the Supermodel and Super Mom! I found your channel a few months ago and want to thank you for the transparency in your video content. First, kudos to you for nursing your child(ren), so many women do not or wish to make any perceived sacrifice for their child’s long term health.🤱🏽 Secondly, it’s okay to start fresh- the new haircut looks amazing on you, and if you wish to maintain short hair (I did for two years), the point is that it’s healthy and fits your lifestyle. Lastly, I BC’d twice (1/2011, 6/1/2014) after bouts of serious illness. Life doesn’t always happen as we like, but we become better people as a result. Minute 9 described how I felt after my second BC, and more prepared to face my healing process. Many hugs to you from Tennessee:)! 😊🏆🏆😊👊🏽👊🏽

Thanks for the video!!!! And again love the new cut!!!! I would hope no one would get offended by this video, but I’m sure someone will. Either way it’s something someone of us need to here. It’s nice to know you are not alone in hair good and bad. I too experienced hair loss after the birth of my little boy in 2015. It was bad. It has got better but definitely not back to where is was pre birth. My hair is fine too but when I wear it curly it looks thicker. I don’t straighten it much maybe once of twice a year if that. When I first straightened after giving birth I was in shock. I knew I’d lost some hair but it was more apparent while straight just how much I lost. It was heartbreaking, not even going to lie but I worked through it and I’m finally starting to see progress. Now that I’m seeing progress it makes me want to start all over again. Next year April will be my 10years anniversary in being natural so a fresh start my be just what I need . Thanks again for the video ❣️😍👏🏽👌🏽

[@nakeasimone13]

Your cut looks marvelous!!!!! I have been natural just as long as you have and I understand that we may want change i.e. bleach our hair but we can’t get lazy when we decide to lighten our hair. We have to keep in mind if we plan to lighten our hair we will have to COMMIT to staying on top of our deep conditioning and protein treatments until that color grows out. No exceptions. I was born with high porosity fine hair so my hair may appear thick but it’s not and when I lighten my hair many years ago my curl pattern did loosen as well but I stayed on top of those DC’s and protein treatments until that color grew out. Postpartum shedding ain’t no joke but can be minimized by taking prenatal vitamins and eating lots of veggies.

I’m sorry this happened to you but I’m glad you’ve figured it out! This haircut looks AMAZING on you! My mom has always told me to cut dead hair. It’s not worth it. And it looks terrible! I dyed my hair for the first time about a year and a half ago. But my stylist REALLY knows what she’s doing. At her previous salon she did all the color corrections. So I trust her and my hair has been fine with highlights (partial). But he second she retires I’ll never get color again lol

Your story and hair texture so closely matches mine. I cut my hair over the summer for the same reasons. The struggle is real.
