Hey beauties!
After a ton of requests I have finally put together my full healthy hair journey, showing you how I transitioned from relaxed, brittle, heat-damaged hair, to full and healthy curls!
Through the process of transitioning I learned SO much and I hope that my trial and error can help even just one person along their journey of embracing their natural curls in the smoothest way possible. My natural hair journey was most definitely a JOURNEY, but it was 100% worth the time and effort. If you have any questions feel free to leave comments below and I will do my best to answer them all!
As always thank you for watching and make sure to like and subscribe! 😊 xo

Hey Transitioners & Future Transitioners 💕 Just wanted to link my new transitioning series in case you have any more questions on how to go natural: ru-vid.com/group/PLO0lVgZxRRnlC8UyWBZ1qRdNh6nf9or1M 💖

@estelalopez8668 4 года назад

What hairstyles do you recomend for transitioning hair ? also i have a bigforhead so ......

@AminaMarie 4 года назад

Estela Lopez here’s some styles I loved to do while transitioning! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J6eFoJnJfpY.html

@mollydelfuego344 7 лет назад

Thank god for RU-vid because now when we have our babies we will know how to look after our children hair and embrace their natural textures so sad that some parents didn't have this same resources

@bolajiajala4885 7 лет назад

Molly Delfuego Ah yes I agree! My mother sure didn't. When I was born in 2004. Then by the time I was 3, there wasn't really any videos about what to do with natural hair and what it, then decided to perm it. Now I'm currently trying to transition, I did the big chop and I get bullied for it but it's all fine because when I get my hair back they'll wish they were me! Haha

@dameshaelliott3657 7 лет назад

Molly Delfuego yes I wish it was like this when I was young I'm currently trying to get my hair back to its normal texture because my mom kinda messed up my hair also by straightening it and constantly giving me relaxers

@mckenziesmith8581 7 лет назад

the same in progress of growing out relaxed hair almost there!!!!

@Miriamloveshaely 7 лет назад

My daughter is Mexican with black and my ignorance I ended putting a relaxer on her hair. I only did it twice when she was 2 but now she is 6 and her hair is getting better and healthy. So don't be upset with your mom some times we just don't have guidance. 😔😔 also I am here to learn how to keep her hair healthy so when she gets older she will have the healthiest hair and don't blame me.

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

+Miriam Aguilar I can't imagine what it was like for her to try to care for my hair before having RU-vid and blogs for guidance so I know she was doing her best! That's awesome you're looking for resources, as long as you keep chemicals away and heat off her hair (as much as possible) she'll be in great shape! Keep the pictures of her transitioning hair to show her when she asks you for a flat iron because at some point we all want to play around with heat!

How's your hair doing

@millie-fd1dz 6 лет назад

14 minutes of my life NOT wasted 🙌🏽

@jaylin3482 7 лет назад

I am going natural becuz I want my hair longer and healthier. The reason why I always got a perm and relaxers because I go to a school with mostly white people. I just wanted to fit in cause everyone has straight hair. I am more confident now with embracing my culture and hair. that's why I want to go natural.

@luvvvv.m0 5 лет назад

Same girly! I'm 14 and now in the 9th grade. And I feel more confident about my hair texture now.😊. And I wanted to fit in with the white girls to. Then my 9th grade year (Which is this year.) I'm going natural. Hope it works out for you!😘♥️

@ruqiyaibrahim2 4 года назад

Lunaaa xX omg same I'm 14 and my hair is curly and stringy at the same time I want to do a chop but it's not gonna be even😭

@t.q.quinn25 4 года назад

I’m 13 about to turn 14 in a month, I’m in 8th grade. I have relaxed hair, I’ve been getting relaxers since I was 5. The only reason I wanted one was to look like my mom because she always had a relaxer. I’ve never experienced my natural hair and I hated it when I was a toddler but now I’m in love with curls and I want to go on a hair journey going natural because I want to experience my true hair.

@cathymarie9727 7 лет назад

First video I seen transitioning without a major big chop

@Alemarie2023 5 лет назад

I'm finally transitioning. 🤗 My hair has been relaxed since I was 5 and I'm currently 18 years old.

@Kaithelightworker 7 лет назад

Omg Shea moisture coconut hibiscus revived my curls soooo much!!!

@joanne4163 7 лет назад

Usually when people go natural what persons usually do is mix olive and coconut oil together and braid it into your hair and leave it on for a full 24 hours. (It must be totally submersed in it) the next day, your curls would be on POINT.

@dianauribe7770 7 лет назад

We have the same hair journey! My mom started relaxing my hair when I was 3, and I am now transitioning and learning so much about my curls! I can't wait to see it's growth ! thanks for your videos!!

@ninapreciosa377 7 лет назад

Diana Uribe this is So sad Im So Sorry for you at 3 :( I had my hair relaxed at 11 years old And Im still mad at them

@t.q.quinn25 4 года назад

I got my hair relaxed at 5, I’m 13 now. I want to go natural so bad so I’m doing it now. My hair is relaxed currently and it stops at my mid back. I’m also tired of always feeling bound to have to get a relaxed to make my hair look presentable. So, I wanna change. I want to transition for my mental state, spiritual state, and physical state.

@AminaMarie 4 года назад

Yes yes yes!!! You can do it! 💖💖 It’s truly such a freeing experience and beautiful that you’re coming here at such a young age 🙌🏽

@curlyjawsh5309 7 лет назад

Your hair grows really fast haha. I've been growing my hair for 8 months and it's only 5/6 inches. You've been growing it for 14 months and it's neck length without stretch😭 I'm jealous

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

+Curly Jawsh that's great growth for 8 months! Luckily my new growth wasn't too damaged from my first start two years so I had an extra years worth of pretty ok hair to work with but that last 14 months made all the difference! Just keep going and in another year you'll be doing all the hair flips 💁🏽😊

@curlyjawsh5309 7 лет назад

Amina Marie lol thanks that's literally my goal.

@charnelamountz2685 6 лет назад

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

@user-rd9it6qm4t 4 года назад

When I was from 1-6 my hair was this golden gorgeous color, wavy and curly.. but then my mom didn’t know how to care for it and it got damaged along the way.. so I started straightening from 12 years old to 16. Luckily I didn’t straighten everyday, only on Sundays the day before school so my hair wasn’t severely damaged. And now I’ve come to love curly hair and have had it natural for 1 year now. Best decision ever! I love and am in love with my curls :)

@Kns111 7 лет назад

I've been 5 months no heat and I truly appreciate this video. It's given me so much motivation to keep moving forward with this journey and some tips! Thank you so much! ❤

@jayc.3546 7 лет назад

I've been transitioning for over 5 months and it's like my hair will not keep moisture and I'm getting frustrated because I feel like I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what to do..

@jayc.3546 7 лет назад

chelsey allen Yeah, I do all the time.

@avionmember101 7 лет назад

Jay C. either your hair is getting used to your moisturizer, or whatever you're using to seal is not strong enough ! You should also check out and see what hair porosity you have and if that may have something to do with it

@jayc.3546 7 лет назад

avionmember101 Thanks this helps put things in perspective but I really don't seal I'm not sure what I'm doing. I wash it then I braid it with hair and wrap lotion.

@avionmember101 7 лет назад

Jay C. I think you should definitely invest in a moisturizer and sealant! My reccomendation for a moisturizer is Cantu coconut curling cream or Shea moisture jamaican black castor oil styling lotion. You can get either of those at target or walgreens. For a sealant, you should try any bottle of oils that you can find at the same places. Hope this helps!

@jayc.3546 7 лет назад

avionmember101 Thanks a lot! This really helps.

@Jirangaaa 6 лет назад

your hair is so gorgeous! currently 3 months into my transition. threw away my straightener and have gone 100% natural. ive never been able to get past shoulder length and finally my hair is so long!! ive been using jamacan black castor oil so thats helped alot!!

@coriannyrosario718 7 лет назад

This really helped me out. Im transitioning my hear damage and the front part is driving me so insane i almost feel like giving up sometimes. Thats why i keep on looking for other peoples experience even though everyone has a different journey. Thank you so much for sharing your story!

@audreimoore5854 7 лет назад

By far the best transitioning video I've seen I love how you kept it real and mentioned your down falls and showed pics from when you first started you definitely gave me hope on starting my journey in becoming natural thank you

@phamoalina 7 лет назад

I am currently 1 year into my transitioning journey. I still have 1 year to go and I am very excited 😊

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

Selina Altamese thank you that means a lot! Keep that confidence and patience and you'll be there in no time! 😊❤

@2009bunky 7 лет назад

I will RARELY watch a full video, but you had me entranced with your story and your hair journey. Our journeys are paralleled in so many ways; my devil is bleaching and coloring. But you give hope that it is possible to be completely natural! Thank you for your words

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

Bianca Woodstock thank you! ❤❤

@Jellyb3an163 4 года назад

I think this is the first time Ive watched a natural hair journey video that I felt was incredibly relatable for me. From the relaxers as a child to hitting that point where youre just like "my hair will not grow past this point" and scouring the ends of the earth to find SOMEONE to do your hair for you. Everything expressed in this video is something I have felt and the way youre presenting and explaining everything (this is like the fourth video fo yours Ive watcehd in a row) that I think you've given me strength and hope in starting this hair transitioning journey and I just want to thank you for that! Definitely subscribing

@caramelmocha7423 7 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I tried transitioning but I really got tired of the 2 textures and I did the big chop. I wish that I knew of your video before but it's all good. Shrinkage is sooooo real but I'm loving my TWA. I sometimes struggle with styling and still trying to find what works but lastly I love being natural.

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

+Caramel Mocha I love TWAs 🤗 Shrinkage is very real but if you ever want to mix it up and stretch it for a different kind of curl pattern, there are so many sizes of perm rods you can play with! Short hair has great versatility, you just have to play with it a bit 😊

@caramelmocha7423 7 лет назад

Amina Marie Thank you so much for your comment. As I'm writing this, I'm listening to your video again. I went thru alot of what you experienced growing up perm failures/burnouts/thinning city. So I don't trust salons for those reasons. If I mess up, I can't get mad with anyone. Anyway you said that you have a blog post so I'm going to see if your TWA tips are there & learn. I'm also shocked that my hair would curl. I was told to do finger coils for a year to train my hair. I do coils during the week. I'm still trying to perfect wash n gos on the weekend, lol. I have perm rods but I think that they're too small. But I'll look at your perm rods video. I am just wondering as it grows if my curls/coils would loosen because they're tight and not like I thought they would. So thanks for being a listener. If you have any other tips please don't hesitate to let me know. Happy Holidays to you and your family

@C00kie2monster 7 лет назад

Caramel Mocha same ,I found a bunch of hair channels AFTER I cut my hair lol I should have researched first

@caramelmocha7423 7 лет назад

Cookie Monster LOL isn't it awful that you don't get the goods before you do the deed. However, as the days go by I'm ok because I see growth :). So all the words of wisdom I read about, hear on RU-vid and now believe that..to have patience!! Happy days to you because I'll never go back to the chemicals.

@mariahjeff9135 7 лет назад

@kielaunaheflin297 7 лет назад

I subscribed instantly! Thank you so much for this video, I related to your journey so much! same hair type and struggles. You determination is going to motivate me to start my journey.

@bluemickey23 7 лет назад

I have the same problem at the top of my head. I have to help the curls by adding a gel and twisting it. I believe it's an elasticity issue. I'm currently 1 year and almost 4 months post relaxer. I'm definitely going to try the flexi rods and perm rods. Practice makes perfect because I cannot do hair to save my life! I just learned how to flat twist. 😬🙌🏼

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

Tiffany practice definitely makes perfect, just keep at it! It took me forever to master a flat twist and now I do them all the time :)

@jennajordaniguess7468 7 лет назад

i love the process of curly hair.. i can totally relate to these vids....

@itsafrah._.8953 4 года назад

Thank you so much. You saved me, I wanted to do a BC but I am not comfortable with it so i found this video on my recommendation so I watch it and most of the things that you did I am current doing such as trimming my hair once or twice in a month or two just to get rid of my damaged hair. And you have earn a new subscriber, I really love your content

@tswizzleee 7 лет назад

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

Thank you! I'll be posting another transitioning video next!

@Agus063 7 лет назад

Ohhh i love your curls! I'm transitioning too, but i went through the braids path since i have different lenghts, and i don't wanna big chop it bc it would be too short (i'm talking bout over-the-shoulder curls versus 2inch strands 😔) i wanna try and set free my curls, but that length dif kind of stops me

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

+Agus Joy Thats a good start! Sometimes braids can weigh down curls a bit and be tougher on your roots so when you want to take a break, try some flexi rod or perm rod sets so you can still have nice curls and get used to the look. Just keep trimming off the damage as you go and then you'll never have to do the BIG big chop 😊 Trust me I didn't want the super short hair either, my head wasn't made for it! 🙉

@shaimynnbrown3980 5 лет назад

Amina Marie can you give me tips I don’t want to do the big chop neither😱🙄

@benitasmith8268 7 лет назад

@melanycastillo4649 7 лет назад

So freaking motivational!!!!!!!!! You've def got a new subscriber !!!!! Naturalists inspire me and the fact that we are all embracing how we were brought to this world is amazing. I've been natural for 6 months but have blown out 3 times already... I'm really not going to do so until after a year at least or more. You know, that " special occasion" excuse lol. Ugh i hate it! Thank you so much for sharing because we newbies do go trough that phase were we are like "eww what is this why do I look like this". Now i know we've all been there and thats comforting lol.

@monetalexandre1775 7 лет назад

this really helped me! ive been trying to decide whether or not to go completely natural, but this definitely gave me the confidence boost i needed. i know its not going to be easy & it'll be hell trying to get where i want to be. but fingers crossed it'll all be worth it. thank you for the boost!!!

@beatbye1872 7 лет назад

Girl you're inspiring me. I don't have relaxed hair but my curls have been so damaged from dying my hair and now half my hair is curly and the ends are so weird. I wanna transition because I straighten my hair all the time. Ugh so hard.

@Nikoellaa 6 лет назад

Lovely Video Amina. I've been going natural for about 9 months now and have been debating about whether or not I should relax. I can see I have about 5 inches of new growth and love the way my curls are looking, but managing the two hair textures has been super difficult... I've been trying to stay dedicated though but at the same time I'm a low maintenance type of girl lol. Since I couldn't be bothered with how troublesome the two textures were becoming, I've just been using a low bun as my go-to style, while continuously debating whether I should relax. After watching your video and seeing the curl pattern completely grown out (your hair patterns looks exactly like my new growth) I am so motivated to continue my transition! Thank you so much for this video. I will definitely be a new subscriber :D

I'm at the stage now where I'm growing out my hair to do the big chop. I relaxed for the last time in march so I have some ways to go but I'm so excited to finally be FREE from the relaxers and the flat iron. Like you, my mom started relaxing my hair when I was 4. I'm 26 now and don't even know what my hair looks like except for the cute little curls I see on my roots lol I'm just so happy I finally gathered the courage to do it

omg😭😍 i could relate to you so much in this video! i started going natural summer 2016 but had a few times where i straightened it and added heat but one of my new years resolutions is to be heat free all 2017. i'm really trying to get my natural curl pattern back! i have straight pieces of hair that are damaged around the front area as well and i don't know if i should cut them bc then that part of my hair would be very short! any suggestions?💛💛💛

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

+g0ldenbeth beauty awesome, that's a great resolution! For those straight pieces holding you back, trimming them away slowly is a great way to get you to your goal without making you uncomfortable with a shorter length. I started by trimming one inch to see how it looked, and when I felt I could go a little shorter, I cut it again until I finally felt comfortable getting rid of all of it. It's all about what makes you comfortable so don't be afraid to take your time or dive in 😊

hi hun. thanks for this thorough video. I am at the point that I need to start the transition. my hair needs a lot of help .

@noemip5034 6 лет назад

I’m transitioning too and the last time I relaxed was in February. I related so much to this because my mom didn’t know how to style my hair which led to getting my hair relaxed at age 5. Thank you because you’re video inspires me to keep going until I see those curls! ❤️

I'm pretty lucky, my mother is Filipino and she always braided my hair when I was a child. I used to hate my hair tho because it was so thick and my friends would always make fun of me when my mother was braiding my hair.I thought I had the ugliest hair lol. I started to wear my hair down in high school and I can say I love my hair so much now, I don't care what others think of my hair now because I think they're awesome😊 when I see someone with their curly hair I'm like so happy and I compliment them hehe.

+Nicole Hammond yes!! That's so great, curly hair is beautiful in all it's many forms 💕

You are soo pretty! I think we have the same curl pattern, I have 3B,3C and some 4A. What're your favourite products? I also have low porosity hair, and fine hair. and I think I'm protein sensitive, my hair don't like coconut so much

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

+Samira Jama thank you so much! My favorite products right now are Kinky Curly's Knot Today leave-in, You Be-Natural's Curl Shaping Custard for wash & go's, and Eco Styler gel. I also fell in love with Jane Carter's new replenishing oil which is great this time of year. My hair is protein sensitive too so I stay away from products heavy in coconut oils and make sure to moisturize my hair as much as possible

I loved this video! I have watched so many videos on other girl's natural hair journeys and I related to this one the most (: I have been natural for about 6-7 months now and I am finally seeing some progress. My current issue is that the front of my hair and the back of my hair have two different curl patterns, I have no idea what to do. Great video !

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

Syniya Morris thank you!! And many of us have multiple hair textures on our heads so the best thing to do is just work with it instead of against it! Shaping it with a hair cut that can show off the length and textures working together is a great way to do that. I usually point people to @stylefeen on Instagram who has 2 fairly different hair textures and rocks it. Hope that helps!

Love this video. This will be my guide. I’m 9 months in and I have very similar texture to yours and I like the styles u did in the process.

@cmiller1762 7 лет назад

Omg help me!! When my hair is wet it's still frizzy and dries like an Afro but it has the texture and feel of a 3c kind of hair. When I use gel it seems like the real pattern comes out but what do I do about the frizz?

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

It sounds like you just need to find the right products! When I don't use any products my hair dries with hardly any definition and just ends up poofy, but having a good curling cream and gel together makes a WORLD of a difference. If you're 3c similar to me, check out You Be-Natural Curl Shaping Custard (or another curling cream of your choice) and a strong hair gel and see if that helps! Check out my Wash & Go routine as a guide if you need :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zruYHUeg9ls.html

@keilycristy8827 7 лет назад

i was wondering how often did you trim your hair , my biggest question of all because at the length of your hair seems like you barely trim and i would love to see how you trim but what did you trim like only yoir dead ends every month or when ever you see them ? Im a little confused?

@AminaMarie 7 лет назад

+Keily Cristy I did a mixture of trimming my hair once a month and the "search and destroy method," meaning randomly trimming stray split ends that I saw. I feel pretty comfortable with scissors but if you're not, scheduling every one or two months for a trim is a great start.

@keilycristy8827 7 лет назад

Amina Marie thank you soo much , i really appreciate 😊

@doniellelisbon2004 6 лет назад

So I've watched this video twice now and I absolutely LOVE it. I have been going back and forth over the last few months whether or not I wanted to transition to the curly girl style. I have never had a relaxer but from years of coloring and straightening I have a pretty significant amount of heat damage. Which has had a lot to do with me not going forward with this. But after watching this and learning some more about my hair I think I am ready! So thank you for being the needed push and inspiration I needed!!

@AminaMarie 6 лет назад

+donielle lisbon so glad the video could help, sometimes a nudge is all we need! It was/is definitely one of the best decisions and journeys I've been on and one worth sticking with! Any advice you need and can't find, just ask 😊 Good luck!

Your hair is beautiful. My daughter and I were born with natural curly hair. I have always loved my hair, however, I did occasionally wanted it straight and colored and I did for about 5 years. I. didn't experience any damage thankfully, because as I was keeping it straight I continued to moisturize wash and condition. anyway, your video is so well spoken. and informative. please continue to make more and you have such a nice personality and are so pretty. Thanks!
