@@cosmicgroovy I don't think you looked like the school principal lol I thought that hairstyle was really cute on you and it reminded me of Fantasia she's so beautiful I just thought you were beautiful the whole time I was watching your video
Barbra life in the trailer park im 13ive been natural for about a year and a half and im almost at shoulder length. What really grew out my hair is old school products like blue magic hair grease and ors with no heat and I have 4b/c hair
i'm 13 too and i've been natural since I was 6 but only started really taking care of my hair 6 months ago my hair is collar bone length and 4b/c I feel like my hair grows slowly but I really don't care I just let it do its thing
Thank u for you honesty and transparency and genuineness Especially when u talked bout not feeling the cutest when you had ur hair real short. Alot of these RU-vid girls be cutting the hair real short and skip over it like it nothing, when i reality 4 alot girls that go natural feel like that after big chop.
when i was in 5th grade i decided to cut my hair and i cried every day because i felt like i had made such a horrible decision . my hair was short and hard to maintain so i gave up on myself and didnt do anything to it unless my mom told me to . my hair was such a big part of my life . going threw middle school was torture because so many people would judge me and for some reason i cared . Now being in the 8th grade my hair is healthy and long and has shown me that patience is all it takes watching this videi has really shown me that im not alone that people went threw the same as me . just wanted to say thank you for sharing your story 🙂
This video creams Black Girl Magic and I love it. And I can definitely relate. Some people really don't know what we sisters go through with our hair and skin and all sorts of different aspects about ourselves and wanna have the audacity to say something when we're embracing it and uplifting each other. Girlll you did that🤎
What I love about you baby queen sister, you get straight into the point and no drama. Your video is whats up. You had me cracking up because you are so real.
You're sooooo petty like what? And this is very inspirational and encouraging 😩 so glad you started loving your natural hair. I have a similar story but I'm glad that I started loving my hair at a younger age and now the growth is insane 🖤
What get's me is that you are so beautiful. With or without makeup, from the beginning of this video to the end straight beautiful natural majestic queen sister.
She said I thought I looked like kodak black, sis you are so pretty and back then you did know that it doesn’t matter what’s outside it matters what’s inside ❤️
I found you on fb & I love the content you post on there so I figured I come here and support! Subscribed! Please post your weight loss journey 😩 & maybe a single mom vlog? ☮️ ❤️ from NC!
So true we'd be so much further along if we had learned since childhood. I even used to think my relaxer was "wearing off", not that my hair was growing out. 🤦🏽♀️ Imagine if we got to practice with products and techniques in high school, and have bomb hair all throughout our twenties! That's my dream for my future daughter. I remember seeing girls of other races in college have beautiful long hair and know how to make themselves glamorous, I felt so unattractive and just thought I was unlucky, and cursed to forever manage new growth. I'm SO glad my sister learned from youtube and taught me there was another option!! Cause the only natural haired women I saw had close cuts or locs. I had no idea it could be just treated as loose hair. 🤦🏽♀️ This is what happens when you don't talk to your daughter about her natural hair texture smh. Your hair is gorgeous by the way. ❤
Thank you for giving us such a realistic natural hair journey! I’m in the 4’s as well and I was always frustrated that my hair wasn’t growing as quickly and having these loose and luscious hairstyles as these other gurus on RU-vid! They’d cut their hair on Sunday and have ass-length hair by Thursday and I’d always feel as if I was doing something incorrect. I really appreciate this video! Subscribed! :)
I Love how you went straight to the point and no dramatic animations Queen Sister. I'm so tired of the dramatic natural chick it's a shame. Thank you, I love your video.
This was a good video , but i do feel like your thumbnail was a bit clickbait because the high puff pic was a drawstring ponytail i thought that was your real growth! Beautiful results regardless congratulations on the baby and keep it up with your journey and growth. Here for it!
Lo e it😁💛 In the begining of my jourrney I kept going back to perms also. Now, thanks to youtube and all the wonderful videos posted I am 3 years natural and loving it everyday💜💟💖😊
this is giving me so much hope...im 14 and i'v tried to transition 4 different times...My mama thinks curly hair is just so ugly and unmanageable so every time my hair grows i she forces on more perms and "softeners". Im thinking if just cutting my hair on my own- its transitioned so much so i would probably have a small fro...im just so lost rn please let me know what i should do..
Strawberry Baby don’t let your mom impose those thoughts on you! This is your hair. The small fro will grow . Hair grows. You got this. Follow YOUR intuition
I was in the same situation. My mother lovedddd perming her hair and so did her mother (my grandmother) but after experiencing so much damage I was able to talk her into going natural. She definitely wasn't for it for my hair but eventually I just cut it after transitioning. She was upset at first but then my hair started flourishing and she eventually gave into letting me cut hers, now we're both afro-ing it up. And her hair has grown more than it ever did permed. As for my grandmother, she would never go natural because she's stuck in her old ways and had such a warped mindset. She would tell me "how are you going to feel when all your friends and other girls out there has long hair?" and I just started showing her on youtube all the naturalistas with length and how they would blow out their hair or straighten it and it was as if she'd never seen it before. She accepted my decision. It's your hair and you know it better than anyone. You can always sit her down and have a real conversation with her.
I would say keep pushing to go natural. Keep expressing that you really want it. If she doesnt listen, just do it. Cut your hair. Note that you wont get any help from her, so when it gets tough youre probably going to have to buy your own products, do your own hair.. etc (unless your mom is a decent human being, just think of these things in moderation). My mom actually forced me to go natural just around your age; it was against my will and she was peer pressured long story 🤣 she is not a fan of natural hair (she only wears wigs until her hair is long enough to perm, and if its not bone straight, she dont want it). She also went natural around the same time and she keeps telling me to reperm my hair. Like, I cut it off because i had no choice, and now you want me to go back to thinn, damaged hair.. ok. She has no idea how to take of her hair nor mine, so this past year ive been learning to FINALLY take care of it. Its NOT easy!! But its not unmanageable.
so inspiring!! i just big chopped on 2/28 n got knotless braids the same day cuz i was not prepared for the lil baby fro lol but i did it n im so proud! can’t wait for my hair to look like urs ❤️❤️❤️
I feel you about that first like year and a half when you dont know wth to do with your hair and its not long enough to feel comfortable wearing out. I did my big chip august 14th 2016 and its the best thing ive ever done 👏🏽👏🏽
Ugh the confidence I'm loving it. I'm in my junior year in high school and I just started doing my own hair bc my mother refused to let me do it myself but early 2020 I said nope it's my turn. In the beginning of 2018 I started refusing perms and I started transitioning. Then in May of 2019, my mom I agreed to cut my hair, cutting the permed parts(I got a bob) Now 2020, I actually wear my natural hair. I'm still learning but I take pride in my hair.
im just watching this bc i big chopped and i like watching ppls journey for encouragement but im getting distracted bc girl you are literally so gorg like...
Thank god there is now things like lace fronts and closures don’t get me wrong they’ve been around for time but they’ve been getting better over time 💀
Girl, this was a good video! You were spoke on insecurities we all have during the initial phase, you were funny, and transparent! I love it! New subbie!
See I cut my hair like a week ago...My mom tells me I’m too young but I’ve been transitioning my hair from flat-ironing my hair for 2 years everyday to tryna get my curls back...I just couldn’t transition no more so I cut it...but I feel like cutting it now is the best time to cut it so I don’t have to do it later in life cuz I knew I would someday.. what do y’all think. Should I have waited till 20 or was it good to cut it now at the age of 15
Girl you did the right thing. I big chopped my hair at 16 and at the time I regretted it but I’m 20 now and big chopping at 16 was the smartest thing I ever did to my hair
6? 6?! Baaaybeee. But look at you now! It’s actually mad that your hair could’ve been long and juicy all these years had it just stayed curly. You did look like Megan Goode. It looked very nice!
