Transitioning To NATURAL HAIR (15 Months Post Relaxer) (Hair Update) (Jan 2017)

Here's my transition from relaxed hair to natural hair (15 months post update). My transition to natural hair has been going well and I'll be doing my BIG CHOP in April this year. In my 1 year post relaxer update in October 2016, I mentioned that I'll be experimenting with a few hair products, so today, I'll be showing you a few I've tested to help enhance my natural curls, making them pop!
Here's the list of products I used in the video;
Eco Styler Gel (Olive Oil); amzn.to/2dmlaoM
Cantu Shea Butter - Define & Shine Custard; amzn.to/2jd3QqI
TGIN - Butter Cream Daily Moisturizer; amzn.to/2jK681y
Coco Loco Coconut Oil; amzn.to/2jdcjdK (Alternative Coconut Oil)
Hope you enjoy my video! x

[@wendyc5217]

Thanks for the update, I love your video I have been watching your videos since the start of my transition I am nearly 8 months post now. it has been great to watch your progress as every stage you went through has also happened to me at the same time. I cant wait to see your big chop in April !!

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+wendy C You're welcome, glad you enjoyed it and have been able to relate to my journey. Yes, not long left for me now 😊

[@theefranowusu]

My hair looks exactly like your 💕💕 Finally a hair twin through my transition. Jun 23 2017 I will be 2 years post relaxer and ready to big chop 😊😊 Can't wait !!!

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Francisca Owusu Hey Twin! 😀 As the time gets closer, you'll be wanting it to hurry up! I'm beginning to feel that way now. But all the best with your BC!

[@kiaknox4593]

Thank you so much for the transition videos. My texture is very similar to yours so it is great to see your progression. I'm almost 6 months post now. I plan on making to at least a year but would love to go two years if I can cutting off a little at a time. The two textures are annoying but so far I'm dealing with it. Great job making it this far. Can't wait to see your BC!

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Kia Knox You're very welcome! Thanks, it's been one hell of a journey, but I'm almost there. Well keep going with your transition, you'll be there before you know it too. All the best!

[@xclusive227]

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+xclusive227 Thank you! I'm excited too 😃

[@BanfilaBianca]

Saw your newest video on wash and go without any curling product and decided to come back to your struggles.keep going girl cuz you inspire me

[@HealthyAfroHair]

Yep, it’s been a journey 😁 But if it’s good to hear you’re inspired!

[@morenamamii559]

i tried to transition but just ended up doing a big chop which i didnt want to do because the two different textures kept matting up badly especially while washing it in the shower

[@HealthyAfroHair]

I know the feeling too well! Luckily enough, I was able to hang in there and things became easier. Hope your enjoying your natural hair.

[@BrooklynLondoner]

Omg April will be swinging by soon. You curly pattern is Gorgeous and the eco style really makes it pop. Can't wait to see the big chop video.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Brooklyn Londoner Thank you! Yes I know, I better start preparing myself from now! 😳😀

[@Wolfhailstorm]

Your videos are really keeping me motivated! I'm currently 5 month post relaxer and I've been using crotchet braids, extension braids, regular plaits and some fun wigs :D I'm sad to hear this is the last transtioning video but I'm excited for your future hair videos and good luck on the big chop!!

[@HealthyAfroHair]

[@MarshasJourney]

[@coolstacey101]

i shall say this you two months ahead of me in transitioning ( currently heading into 13 months) right now i have protective style in (box braids) and taking them out mid march and also thinking of doing my big chop as well but im really nervous! after watching you video i think i have little more confidence now thanks!

[@S1mplyALLURING]

[@RachelBada]

Your curl pattern is similar to mine ✨

[@treasureafolabi5646]

hurrayyyyy girl well done. time really flies . I can't wait for ur big chop lol more excited than d owner of d hair.😂 that tgin cream defines my coils too like no other , now I get scared using it unless am doing protective style lol. my back hair defines better than my front. still trying products but so far like d tgin .

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+treasure afolabi Haha 😄 I know, it'll soon be here and then I get to see my natural hair after all these years. But good to hear you're having fun experimenting with your hair!

[@buttrpecan9]

my hair texture in some areas look exactly like yours at the 20 week post. I'm only 7 months post relaxer but when I touch my new growth, I can feel those spirals in certain areas but they shrink so much I can't see them unless I stretch them with my finger. I will be cutting my hair soon to shorten the relax ends. I want to big chop in june. that will be a year for me. your natural hair is coming in very pretty. keep up the good work .

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+buttrpecan9 Thanks very much! You must be excited to be doing your BC this year too?! I'll most definitely be relieved when it's over with 😊

[@lilyraimey3499]

You're very handsome; and your hair is beautiful! The definition that was achieved with the Eco-Styler Gel was flawless.👌👌

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Lily Raimey Thanks very much! 😊

[@mixergamer4022]

Yay, we're transitioning at the same rate:-)

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Mixer Gamer Yayyy 😃

[@gracefuld27]

Yassss girl love this!!!!! I just did my big chop😍😍😍

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Dania Banks Thank you and congrats 😃

[@Jayariee]

It just hit me if I didn't big chop at one year I'd be 1 year 7 months but I really didn't see the point anymore. Partly because of my hair seemed long enough and also because i was only doing one decent hair style after 10 months and i hated that. I'm surprised your hair seems so laid because without heat mine just wouldnt lay flat and twist/braid outs weren't for me

[@charnika.princess5857]

Do you have a video on wash day for transitioning hair? If not could you make one??

[@mixergamer4022]

Plz make a vid when you big chop:-) I'm planning to at 24 months

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Mixer Gamer Yes, I definitely will!

[@NaturalCee]

nice video!

[@BoujeeBwiththeTea]

Wat made u want to transition frm relaxed to natural?

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Brittany Jacqueline Well, having been on my relaxed hair journey for 9 years and reaching my hair goals, I just felt it was time to get to know my natural hair.

[@BoujeeBwiththeTea]

I understand. Seeing my friends go natural made me wonder wat my natural hair would look like. I've always had the thought of it, but the thing tht really pushed me to try it was my thinning edges. My edges weren't bad because I caught it early enough, thank God. It's been 3 months since then. Part of me wants a relaxer because these roots are way too thick for me to handle lol & the other half is like, it's a new year, I'm in a new country, so I should try new things w/my hair. I've even started wearing braids & the last time I wore braids b4 now was in 4th grade & I'm 21 now 😂 Plus, I like the scrunchiness of my hair

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Brittany Jacqueline It's going to be quite challenging, especially if you've been relaxed most of your life (like me) and it's all you've ever known. But as long as it's what you want and you do lots of research on managing natural hair, products etc, you'll be fine! Best of luck with everything 😊

[@BoujeeBwiththeTea]

Thank u!

[@yaclilly]

Another British YTer! Just subbed

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+yaclilly Hey, thanks for subbing! 😃

[@veronicanicolee]

I'm new to your channel. What protective styles do you wear when transitioning. Is it ok to get box braids marley twist etc..?? I'm just starting my journey I want to aim for 2 years but things could change .

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Veronica Hey, welcome to my channel 😊 I've worn box braids & a wig during my transition so far. Yes it's ok to wear braids or marley twists, but just ensure they're not done too tight and keep your hair moisturised underneath as often as necessary.

[@NaeAlert12]

HELP, hello. I'm going through the transitioning phase right now. My last perm was in October 2015. In October of 2016 I got my hair cut into a bob. Basically most of the damage in the back of my head is gone, but I still have a LOT of it at the top/the front of my hair. Should i continue to transition or should I just cut the hair in the front? I really dont want to big chop, but if i have to, I will! Thanks for the help if you can.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+renee royal If it's really bad, then it might be best to cut it, so it can continue to grow nice and healthy.

[@britney2651]

What is your hair type? I think we have the same one but i'm close to first year of transitioning, and its kinda hard to tell, what mine is.

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Britney I have type 4b/c hair.

[@aminatac4617]

the 15 months post relaxer has more growth than the 20 weeks is me or am I right

[@HealthyAfroHair]

That's correct! But remember 20 weeks post is (5 months) and 15 months is (1 year and 3 months). I think you've confused the 20 weeks post for 20 months maybe?!

[@aminatac4617]

Healthy Afro Hair I thought it said 15 weeks and thanks

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+Aminata C Oh...ok, no worries!

[@bobbijometoyer1444]

You're going to wish you did the big chop long ago. Your hair will grow so fast once you cut your ends

[@ngozifrancisca6422]

please how many inches is your new growth

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+ngozi francisca I believe it's roughly between 5-7 inches.

[@xScarlingx]

What hair type are you? My hair is exactly like this

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+xScarlingx I believe I'm a combination of 4b/c.

[@kaytee789]

I did a BC and my hair texture looks like her's and its a 4b/4c, it doesn't look like 3c nor 4a type.

[@LuxurCr3Tv]

Yeah please don't chop it all off just cut the straight ends off for your big chop u regret not knowing that's hair beauty tip before bc I went from shoulder length to nothing n the process is real lol keep ur curl pattern please

[@HealthyAfroHair]

+LuxurCre Oh...no, I'm not cutting it all off, only my relaxed ends 😄
