This was the most informative, straight to the point video I’ve ever watched. This actually helps me with my decision to just go short. I’ve been contemplating so long, watching so many videos . But this video helped a lot. I’m glad i came across your channel.

I literally just watched your big chop video. You are a brave soul. I’ve been trying to convince myself to do a big chop for 4 years now 😩😩

Thank you so much for this!! I am getting ready to do a big chop after 15 years of straightening, and seeing all your photos was SO helpful and reassuring. You look amazing with short hair.

Oh honey you are truly stunning. All styles we’ve seen here equally as amazing on you. It takes a brave trusting soul to let go of our security blankets regardless of the form they take. It’s part of how we develop faith and trust in ourselves. Awesome job😌

I have went through the same thing. My hair was never as long as yours, but I had heat damage. Thanks for your video. Very inspirational!

Your hair is beautiful either way!!!❤️❤️❤️ this video was so motivating to me. My hair goal for 2020/21 is to gain length retention. My last relaxer was in September of 2016. I have course thick high porosity hair. For protective styles I do sew-ins, braids, etc. I noticed whenever my hair gets straightened it stops at the tip of my collar bone. The last time I had my hair straight was in February of this year getting a ponytail. It was a lot of heat too. So as of now I am refraining from heat, having protective styles, keeping it moisturized, and letting my hair do its thing and grow out.

Thank you so much! I had a short period of time where I started to wear sew ins with closures or a little bit of leave out and I noticed my hair started to break a little and I even lost some of my edges from closures. My hair was also thinning from the weight and tension of braids. It's so much better to let your hair breath and keep it moisturized and I really can be a witness to that! I know it will help you too! Check back in with me, I wanna know your progress!!

I remember when you cut your hair girl, you inspired me to embrace the natural beauty of my hair. I chopped it off on this past Mother's day as a gift to myself. Girl I feel brand new if that makes sense. Those stingy behind permed ends were holding a sista down! Thank you mama you look absolutely beautiful and your hair is flourishing!💖🥰

We seem to cut our hair around the same time a lot 😉. I hit my one year post big job Feb 2. 2020 & cut it again (tapered) April 2020. Thinking about cutting it even because I too find it too much work tapered. Your hair has really grown. It's beautiful. Love the pics!

Oh cool! Yeah I got tired of the tapered cut really quickly lol Thank You!

Loved this so much!! I chopped my hair (not as much as you did, cus I ain’t that brave lol) , but a good portion of it a few days ago in my bathroom. I got the urge to cut it & it was literally all I thought about for a few days so I just went for it 🤷🏽♀️. Can’t wait for healthy curly hair growth !!
