The Rona brought me here! I've been thinking about transitioning for a long time and currently in a long stretch between my last relaxer. Today marks 20 weeks since my last one. I want to keep it going but I have to tell you the struggle has been real! Thank you for sharing your story it gives me hope and seeing your beautiful natural tells me the journey is worth it.

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

The decision is yours!! Do what you feel is right for you. I hope it turns out beautifully ♥️

@janalenisbett8558 4 года назад

It's worth it indeed

@ambercooke4930 3 года назад

I've transitioned twice in my adult life. I would say at 5 months post relaxer I folded the first time lol. I'm currently 4yrs post and it's been a journey. I just found a regimen that works for me lbvs

@sweetsharie66 3 года назад

You are an inspiration! I’m 8 months post right now and and I’m gonna keep going. I found that everything got easier around the 7 month mark. Thanks for the transitioning videos. 😊

@bronzebrown2125 4 года назад

I'm transitioning out as well and August will be two years for me! So excited to see this video. (New subscriber.) I didn't know about overlapping, stretching, or regimens as I got older. I've learned so much in the past (almost) two years of my hair journey. Thank you for taking the time to share your story/journey.

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Bronze Brown yaaay! Are you going to keep transitioning after your two year mark!? ♥️

@lilmagnoliabeauty4184 4 года назад

I’m hopefully goin natural in August😁

@dominiquegrinnell9328 3 года назад

Thank you for this. I have been growing out my shoulder length relaxed hair for 8 months. Some days are harder than others. BTW, your baby is such a doll.

@aderinsolaadebayo-lateef2085 4 года назад

I have that hair mayonnaise yayyyy. I’m feeling so encouraged. I’m just gonna follow your steps!! Since nobody else in my family has natural hair

@smiller0612 4 года назад

We have the same name👋🏽👋🏽👋🏽 I’m 6 years natural but I like to binge watch big chops from time to time😂 I like the kiss red detangling blow dryer

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

I’ll have to look that blow dryer up! Thanks babe! ♥️

@MissExclusive4 4 года назад

I’ve been transitioning for about two years too and I find this so refreshing. I plan to chop off my relaxed ends soon! I feel like it never grows past a certain length and I’m running into heat damage or some other set back. I do want to see how the full natural journey would be for me. I’ve basically always been relaxed or in a transitioning phase. I felt this!

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

MissExclusive4 when you’re ready, cut them off! ☺️ I would love to go on this journey together to see how far we can go! I’ve been seeing progress lately when it comes to length retention so I’m really trying to keep it up. ♥️

@MissExclusive4 4 года назад

Shaaanelle yasss I’ll be sure to update here when I do it! I’ll check back to see your progress too!

@paolaxabreu 4 года назад

Your patience and consistency is admirable girl! I have 4 months and if isn't because my heat damage hair is super long and the growth isn't that much I alredy cut it all 😅 I hope I could last 2 years like you 👏🏾❤

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

You can do it, babe!♥️

@jasminejones3699 4 года назад

I love your transparency ❤️

@kld6 4 года назад

A type 4 life saver I learned while transitioning is that TWIST are your best friends. I shampoo while my hair is in twist, I pre poo in twist, I deep condition in twist, and I leave my hair in twist if I do that plan styling my hair in some type of way or not. These things help speed up my wash day routine and I highly recommend these things to you so you want have to keep detangling your hair😊❤️💕

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Keosha Davis ive tried twists and they always come out. Lol. I like to just braid it in plaits instead. I may try twists again but I cannot wash with twists, lol. ♥️

@kld6 4 года назад

@@Shaaanelle ok I understand, I actually like it when some of the twist unravel I didn't think of it as a problem for some my bad😅 Braids should work the same maybe even better, I might try it out my self! 💕

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Keosha Davis I think it also has to be with my hair being so thick that at the ends it’s blunt, lol. So there’s just a thick clump at the bottom of my twist instead of that cute little finger coil. I’m sure my hair will grow out of it eventually. Thank you for your advice and help tho! ♥️

@baneliswamayise6950 3 года назад

How did you handle the two textures for 2 years?😪it's only been 7 months for me and I'm ready to quite

@Shaaanelle 3 года назад

Baneliswa Mayise stretching! I typically blow dried my hair with low or no heat. I’ve considered doing the same thing even now fully natural because the fairy knots are crazy, lol. 😘✌🏽

@daniii2903 3 года назад

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Pommy Wolf I’m glad you enjoyed it and I hope it was helpful! ♥️♥️

@apara2005 4 года назад

You just gave me HOPE. I've been having such a hard time transitioning (only been 3 months)...not because i don't have the right products, but because i have no idea how to detangle, protein treatment, how long should I transition (dont want to big chop with a TWA), the breakage. This video made me feel a lot better!!!! Whew, I can do this :).

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Yeeeeessss, push through!!! If there are any tips you need, definitely let me know. We’re working thru this together! ♥️

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Yeeeeessss, push through!!! If there are any tips you need, definitely let me know. We’re working thru this together! Detangling in sections used to blow me because I just did not want to do all of that! Lmao but after taking care of my hair with deep conditioning and my hair getting softer I just really love touching it and brushing through it, lol. ♥️

@chellemiller9046 4 года назад

Amazing length. Looks healthy and Beauitful

@apara2005 4 года назад

@estherboakye5782 3 года назад

@elervisadavis5158 2 года назад

Make sure not use heat especially flat irons so that you do not get heat damage. Overall, it looks very good.

@harlonda40 4 года назад

Your going to love your hair being natural

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Londy Cox I think so too ♥️

@aanaayss 4 года назад

It looks great! i wear my hair straight as well and swear by rollersets

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

I can’t get over how good my hair feels with the roller set! 😂♥️

@makedadegannes5173 3 месяца назад

When the flat iron came out, it was a wrap for me. Good luck with that, sis.

@Shaaanelle 3 месяца назад

Awh. Well it’s been almost 5 years since my last relaxer and 3 years since this video. I always cut my hair straightened instead of curly. It’s been going well so far! I’ve dyed it, chopped that off, and some more! If you want to explore more of my journey, you can start with my hair journey playlist! My most recent upload shows what my hair looks like as of February. Let me know your thoughts! 🖤

@tyddavis87 4 года назад

You have low porosity hair, at least it seems that way. My mom has low porosity hair and hers sets on top of the water also. Mine is high and it immediately goes to the bottom.

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Ty Davis that’s what I was thinking too. ♥️

@Nominaze 4 года назад

Could you please give tips on how u took care of ur hair and moisturized it, I’m 3-4 months in transitioning and it is a STRUUUUUGGLE. Btw, your hair look so beautiful 😭

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Deep conditioning!! Also you’ll have to try to see which products work for your hair. Does it feel like it’s sitting on top or does it feel hydrated from the inside out? The more moisture (water content) you give your hair the better off it will be. So yes, deep condition frequently. ♥️

@Nominaze 4 года назад

Shaaanelle Okay, thank you! I sometimes deep condition. When I add Jamaican black caster oil to my head it sits on top of it, so now I’ve been using olive oil, and my head itches A LOT. I feel like I should use peppermint oil to help my scalp. But I’m also looking for oils that help grow ur hair without it sitting on top of ur head, and trying to find leave in conditioners and creams is hard. But I thank you for this❤️

@danikagildon8732 3 года назад

Im starting over after excessive damage. This is so inspiring! Great growth and it's healthy and beautiful.

@jessy7884 3 года назад

Guys if you want to relax your hair and keep your curls, you get to mixed the product with a conditioner or hair lotion Half/half. This way it is not going to take your curls away.

@elervisadavis5158 2 года назад

Looks very healthy.

@ericaelliott5047 4 года назад

I'm so happy for you your hair is beautiful. I'm relaxed and have no interest in going nateral but my daughter is she is mixed and had me cut off her relaxed hair 5years ago and her hair is now just a little above her waist curly and to her but straight. So you keep going and enjoy your nateral hair. I love the look of nateral hair it's quite lovely just not for me.

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Thank you! ♥️

@colettensatu4234 4 года назад

Hi, You have beautiful hair and it will grow long if you stick to a simple hair routine. As per trimming your ends, see what your hair needs and go with it. If you're using no heat or low heat as a natural, you may or may not need as many trims as you would do if relaxed. Every 6 months trims works as good. The key for me has been low manipulation hair styles, avoiding tight buns at nap and sealing my ends with a good butter. Also, cgx conditioner with aloe vera/ peppermint has been good in helping manage my hair. I would shampoo, do all treatments that I want and use the conditioner last to direct my hair the way I would want it and detangle it.

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Colette Nsatu nice!! Thanks for all of the tips!! So far I think I’m gonna trim every 13/14 weeks. I’m coming up on it so I’m just gonna see what my hair looks like and determine whether I need to keep with that or increase or decrease my trims. Not gonna lie, I recently ran into an issue where I was taking out my braids and it got so tangled! I was tired as heck and just ripped it! Smh now I don’t wanna do protective styles with added hair anymore 😫😂😂😂. Thank you again! I can’t wait for it to just be super long! ♥️

@jordanximani 3 года назад

Wow that looks so good😣❤️November this year will be one year since my transition , hopefully I’ll be able to big chop next November☺️☺️❤️

@Shaaanelle 3 года назад

I'm transitioning from texlaxed hair, August this year will be 1 year since my last relaxer and I'm soooooo excited for my big chop next year August :3

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Selene Wright hold tight, sis! I found that doing protective styles and leaving them in for 3-6 weeks helped pass the time. ♥️

@tashadacosta8250 4 года назад

New subscriber here. Really glad I found your channel. Will definitely continue transitioning. Im actually 8 months post relaxer.

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Tasha DaCosta yeeeesss! You can do this ♥️

@barbarahodges8835 Год назад

I’m back again, when I got the big chop, I didn’t like my hair because I was so used to relaxed hair and that if it wasn’t straight I didn’t look good. I still have moments where I question myself about my natural hair yet at the same time it become stronger and healthier. When it was relaxed, my hair was shedding, I had a bald sot from wearing half wigs. My hair was damaged from over relaxing, and lapping. But through it all, I want healthy hair .

@andrewclervil1100 4 года назад

Why did you relaxed you hair when you donne to cut and why did you not Stay in natural hair?

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

Yay!!! Congratulations! ♥️

@Bambam-xy4sz 3 года назад

Me too!

@LiveLisha 4 года назад

you need to do the porosity test on clarified hair becaus the masks etc you used before doing the test have oils in them. since oil repels water your hair is going to float.

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

LIVE LISHA thank you! I tried it on a few different strands. So I used a strand before I washed my hair, after I washed it and before deep conditioner and again after the entire washing process. Porosity is so tricky, lol. But I think I know about where my hair stands. I like to just try different things and see what’s working and what’s not. Thank you again! ♥️

@Islandgyal_tracy 3 года назад

You have low porosity hair it takes longer to absorb moisture

@elervisadavis5158 2 года назад

@renee01257 3 года назад

you know how when u transition and have straight ends. is it normal to have really curly ends when you wet your hair.

@Shaaanelle 3 года назад

If you do I would imagine that your transitioning hair already broke off.

@imankama4989 3 года назад

Why go natural if you going to be frying your hair.? I think some people just jump the wagon on going natural, they are really not ready for it at all.

@s.houston3498 4 года назад

I’m struggling with going natural. I’ve been relaxed since 12 and I’m 31 now. The only reason I’m considering natural is because of pregnancy in the future. When I watch these 4c RU-vidrs. I honestly don’t like the way it looks. Now some looks better then others but then they put a weave/wig in It and call it “protective” isn’t it just as much as “self hate to wear weaves?” Most black girls are more concerned with what we put in our heads then bodies. Relaxers have chemicals but so does your food. I’ve always had healthy long down my back thick hair (think Kenya Moore) and it will only be worse when I go natural. My job requires my hair to be tamed. Can you relax while preggers? My mom did. I’m so confused.

@Shaaanelle 4 года назад

You can if you want. You’ll have to do research on the risks and decide if you’re willing to take them. ♥️

@flavianyferreira6011 4 года назад

My mom didn’t relax it during pregnancy and I have never heard of anyone who did. It’s very dangerous. Please think about it. Your hair is beautiful the way it is. If you don’t like it natural, you can decide it a while after you give birth. God bless you
