No HEAT No SULFATES Frequently trim hair Use ALL natural ingredients Perm rods are your BESTFRIEND Switch up products Deep condition LOVE your hair

This gave me all the motivation and confidence for my transition with my weird stringy half curly half wavy hair lol

I wish someone has told me the long term effects before I started texturizing and straightening my hair.... SUCH and encouraging video and I know it's gonna be a long process but its time to start transitioning my hair! Thank you (:

You got me so excited for this journey! I've been transitioning for about 4 months now and I have about 3 inches of new growth!! When I get really frustrated I just look in the mirror an see my little sprouting curls and I get excited about why I'm going natural in the first place! Thanks Amina !! And for all my transitioners out there - DONT give up! You'll have awesome curly beautiful hair! You got this!

my heat damage so bad. this video really encouraging!

I'm 14 and mom keeps Perming my hair and I'm tired of it. I hate the dryness and the breakage!!! I'm trying to transition now if my mom lets me

If you guys are looking for a shampoo without sulfates, parabens, or mineral oils, shea moisture has a shampoo called Jamaican black castor oil strengthen & grow shampoo. I got mine for $10 at Walmart, it's also paired with a conditioner :)

I live in Miami. It never gets cold. And I work in a professional environment, so going natural was a challenge without being able to use heat and without doing a big chop. So the first year, I just roller set it every night and wore it up. Year 2-3 I wore curly extensions that matched my own curl pattern. I’m now into year 4 and my hair is down my back. It’s been a VERY long journey, but my hair has never been so long, and I swear by castor oil, it really makes my hair 2x faster! It may feel like forever, but it’s worth it in the end.

This helped so much because I am too scared to do a chop I am not ready

I've been going natural 9 months now and I must say it was best decisions I've ever made. At first it was hard but I've learnt to accept my hair and decided to stop fighting with it! Learn to love your hair girls don't give up!

I literally just decided today to go natural. I'm so tired of damaging my natural hair. I want my curls back ! :/

I absolutely love this, you make transitioning look safe and comfortable. I already transitioned exactly 3 years ago and I just wanted to see what new advice there was for newbies transitioning & I'm so happy I stumbled on your video. Very nice video chick, love all the way from Trinidad!

I’m working on this journey now; 3 months relaxer free and YES it is frustrating but I most definitely appreciate this video!!!

Thanks for sharing. when i went natural last year i had no information about going natural and i made a lot of mistakes. I am 8 months into this journey and i am educating a lot of women in Nigeria about going natural. so far, I have influenced a lot of women.

You have really great tips, Amina! You really encouraged me to have transitions now and never do that rebonding process agein, never ever. Thank you so much and I hope you will continue doing more videos! Love you!

Loved this! I just cut off half of my straight ends, this is my second time going natural, I'm excited. Curly hair is the best

thank you so much! all of the natural girls said they chopped their hair in order for it to grow, I'm not trying to look like a poodle lol. great tips!

I can't believe I have not permed my hair in 10 months. I would have never thought this would be something I could do, but I was so tired of the process of getting a perm. I am looking forward to what my hair will look like in a year. Thanks for all of your hair tips!

I have 7+ years of heat damage. Thank you for this video! Can't wait to start my natural journey

I am transitioning 8months now and am still holding on to my ends,can't wait to fully transist,I love your volumes

Very well put. I continue to be inspired by the naturelle girlz. Thank you for sharing and passing along the knowledge and insights on the transitioning process. And to those of us who have always remained curly but are just now learning to lovingly care for our curls, don't give up!! Make a commitment to stay on track with your curly hair no matter what. Cheers!

Love your consistency! I watched your videos old and new and even though your channel has flourish along with your hair, you still keep things simple.

Makeup, hair, outfit, skin, face, SO BEAUTIFUL

The last time I relaxed my hair was October 2019.... the Covid19 lockdown helped with making up my mind to transition to natural hair.... my hair is long and I really don't want to cut it so I'm very thankful for these videos ❤

My mom has been blowdrying and straightening my hair since I was 5 and now i am 13 and i want to know what is best to get my curls back

I’m transitioning to my natural curls and your videos are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your journey! ❤️

This video made me feel so much better, I'm transitioning and people have said some negative things about how my hair looks right now, aka no curls, stringy ends, ect. Hopefully things get better soon. Thanks again

Ive been doing this for a month and I loveeeeee my curls! I dont even want to put heat to it. Thanks for this video ❤️

wow! Thank you for the great advice! my daughter's trying to transition and having a difficult time. Her hair looks like it's a similar texture as yours. You made some great suggestions that I think will help her.

This was the greatest natural hair care video that's on RU-vid especially for someone like myself that's transitioning thank you so much for the information on how to care for your natural hair and that it doesn't have to be costly.I haven't been natural since I was 13 yrs old and now I'm 50 I currently have my hair in braids and I'm very excited about going natural but I would be lying if I said that I'm not nervous because its been so long since I was natural will I be able to handle this journey or do I really want to do this,no matter how I feel it is something that I am going to do and watching your video encouraged me to embrace it Thank You so much.

Thank you for this video! I have been in the process of recovering my hair from some heat damage, and these tips are very helpful👍 p.s your eye shadow is giving me life😍😍

so this was the first transitioning video I watched, last December when I decided I wanted to go natural, and now I'm a whole year post relaxer looking for more tips! Love the video :)

I just started my transitioning journey and I am so glad I came across this video. It has given me answers to so many questions I had earlier and the motivation to go on. Good job!

I haven't straightened my hair in almost 3 years because I'm so scared. I'm so close to being able to cut off the rest of relaxer it's so ugly and dry and straight I hateee them. I'm so thankful for women like you on RU-vid and Instagram showing how beautiful your natural hair is. It helped me so much I've never wanted and loved my curls like I do now. These tips were super helpful btw!

This video is very inspiring I really appreciate the tips you gave cause I have been transitioning for a year now and its been difficult but i try different styles and like them and other people compliment me on it so I feel pretty good about this natural hair journey so far even though its hard AND LOTS OF WORK

This helps me a lot I have always been a curly girl but my mum has been relaxing hers for 30 years 😱😱😱😱 I am helping her to tradition to her natural hair . Wish me luck 🤞🤞🤞

You look gorgeous in purple. I had to screenshot the makeup as inspiration. Thanks for the video

WHERE WAS THIS VIDEO LIKE 2 WEEKS AGO WHEN I DID THE BIG CHOP!!!! ughhhh lol

Thanks for your words, its really helpfull all your tips. Im transitioning from Japanese straightening and its really really sucks. My hair fail a lot on last application so I decided never do any other quimical to change texture. Its a long journey, but Im happy to see my hair growing back naturally 😊

This gives me hope as I am just starting to transition my daughter's hair. THANK YOU!!

Great video! I am currently transitioning from heat damage and boy this stuff is NOT as easy as I thought it would be. I am going to hold on and stay confident tho. I am still working to find cute curly hair styles. My hair is not retaining any length I recently got braids and wish I didn't because my hair looks shorter now 😞.

I'm in love with your eye makeupp ❤️❤️

most helpful natural hair care video omg

your makeup was so pretty in this video

I big chopped and started with one inch of hair in 2015 and I was natural for almost 8 years and decided to get one relaxer and cut my hair into a bob. One month later I missed my fluffy hair and decided I wasn’t getting a second relaxer. I refuse to go bald again so this transition journey is new for me. I’m doing ok with treating all my hair as if it’s natural because I don’t remember any other way to style. I’m only 3mths post relaxer and I plan on transitioning for as long as I can hold out this time. I’ve been wearing braid outs because I’m already used to not using flat irons so I blow dry and then do a braid out. I’m going to experiment with flexi rods next. My bob has already grown 2.5 inches in 3 months so I’m doing something right. I’m getting my ends trimmed next but my bob still looks clean cut no see through ends so I’ve retained my length. I’m excited to be on this new journey.

Great tips, encouraging ..I have trimmed away at the straight hair but I still have to add perm rods to fake it because I have very loose curls but thick hair...been transitioning about 2 years now. but you have encouraged me to keep going. Thanks

First video and I fell in love with you by number 10. Definitely liked and subbed. That was so sweet and you’re an awesome speaker! 💕

I think I’ll officially go natural thanks to you!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

This is super helpful and motivating 🙌🏾 thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this video it made me feel better about my curly hair journey! Hopefully I can have nice natural curls soon!!

i started my hair journey about 3months ago..after seeing this vid i know i can reach my goal

I’m on day 5 of my transitioning journey and God it feels goooood. Freed & relieved! I went to a beauty salon specialized in natural hair & they gave my hair so much love. They really encouraged me & gave me all info I needed. My next appointment is in 1 month. I didn’t big chop, they were super understanding. They told me I could be fully natural in 6 months cos my hair is not like super damaged. And the lady gave me her personal phone number in case I have any questions or I feel like giving up.. I’m literally so so happy. ❤️

I have dyed the shiiit out of my hair. Bleach, color, you name it ive done it. I’ve had it permanently straightened as well since I hated my hair being wavy/curly. As I’ve gotten older it’s gotten curlier, but I’ve decided to not dye or bleach my hair, use twist outs to help train it, and actually condition my hair. I’m excited!

Loving natural hair life!

thank you so much for this video. you are beautiful and I love your curls!! slayyyyyyyy😍

This is a big help. Nobody ever said no heat so thanks so much

I love this video. I've been pressured into doing the big chop but i feel like I'm not ready

I am 12 months post. Your tips are wonderful it lets me know that I am doing great with my transition. Thank you so much!

And girl your makeup is flawless it looks so great even your skin. 🙌🏼💜I love how your make up looks so natural you don’t put it heavy to where you look like a manikin

i got so inspired i just gaved up my flat iron for good i have natural curl

So glad i found this video because I've gotten a texturizer in my hair in October of 2016 and for my eighth grade prom I had to straighten it because I didn't have time to do any box braids, and that caused some major damaged because they had to keep going over and over with the curling iron. I would've chopped it all off but I was and still am afraid of it not looking right on me because everybody can't rock short hair. I know I'm ranting but I'm gonna def try this

Love, love, love this. So inspirational :)

my 2 best friends and i just chopped off all of our stright ends today and we're starting our hair journey and honestly it hasnt really set in that i am natural now when i have been strightening my hair since day 1 and i was planing on going natural when i was in college but things turned out a little differently considering i am just starting highschool (10th grade) but im really glad they gave me the insparation to do so

Beautiful I feel very encouraged thank you

I was so close to giving up on transitioning before this video, thank u.

I love your hair it's so pretty

This video is good and encouraging, I would begin my hair transition this week, gonna chop my hair short 💇‍♀️, have a lot of heat damage (no more heat🙅‍♀️) and it's just curly at the top, hope my curls turn out like yours,😍🤗

I really enjoyed watching this video and your tips are right on point. Thank you! I'm wondering if what I'm currently seeing in my curl pattern will be the end result once I finish transitioning. I've cut most of the relaxed hair off of the back, and it is much thicker than the front. The textures have always varied around my head.

I think we kind of have a similar texture! Lol love your curlsss girl, & great tips ! I also make videos on curly hair ☺️

Fantastic video. Very motivating. The last time I relaxed is 2005 but I'm transitioning for the second time. I use the straightening iron too much by my hair could be in much better condition.

I love this video. Thank you.

Nice video, very helpful ! & I like your makeup! 😊

i have decided to go natural and im so lost so this is the first video ive watched thank you and you're SO BEAUTIFUL. i have new growth and NO NOT know how to trim my hair AT ALL I feel so lost

I'm sooo interested in transitioning but I'm scared. My hair is naturally very wavy. I just trimmed my hair and straightened it but I'm gonna attempt to go natural now that my hair is healthy. You're motivating

Wow this was so helpful I've been trying to convince my mom to transitions I have naturals curls I've never put perm or relaxer anything like that. She has a lot of heat damage this vid is awesome I will show her this vid 😘😘😘😘

This has been expensive journey. I'm over it (not giving up, but not listening to all these RU-vidrs anymore); however, that perm rod trick was good!! I'm going to try. These tips make me feel good... I'm doing most of these, just have to get the hang of it. Time to learn my hair with the resources I have. Thank you for sharing!!

this video was really encouraging, im low key scared of how my hair is gonna turn out but i brought the shea moisture transitioning kit. so im actively trying to transition

I want to transition 😭

I just love my curly hair and iIlove yours too!!!

This was so helpful thank you so much!!

Very helpful! Best video yet that I have seen

This was super helpful! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

You hair is a lot like my natural hair

Love all your tips! This video should be the orientation video for everyone who is transitioning/natural! Great job! And thanks! P.s. Your curls are gorgeous!!!

Blessings! Congratulations u have ur curly's babys , i m glad for u,u do it❤🌷 . God with u

I'm still holding on to my ends but I'm almosttt there. Your video was so informative

Any tips for those us just starting? Like I have only two inches of natural hair and about 20-22 inches of relaxed hair but it's been 3 months since my last relaxer

You and your hair are so gorgegous. Oh my god. I wish my hair was like yours🙏

Very encouaging!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Great video, thanks🌸

thank you so much…. this is a great help… I'm 3 months in

you are inspired me to follow this decision this new step for my hair #begining #transition

great video! Can you do a video showing how you used the perm rods on your hair while transitioning?

I’m just beginning my transition and I little nervous 😬 could you make a video of what like a week of transitioning would look like ? I’m a lol confused on when I should be putting in leave in conditioners and curling creams etc and how often ! Thank you ! You’re videos are very helpful !

I am happy to hear this I did the big chop a year ago my hair grew extremely fast and my natural curls came out it was so beautiful. Then I wanted to color it but the hair stylist said it’ll look bad because it’s hot outside. He said a texturized would be better. I had no idea it was like a perm! Now I have straight hairs and curly. Never going back to him. I’ve been wearing braids and protective styles to transition back. I was so sad. And wild hair growth been working. Is eggs coconut oil or vinegar good?

So I'm 12, and this is the first Tim my mom permed my hair. So now it's been 2 months since she permed it and now I want my natural hair back

i NEEDED this

I was going 4 months without straightening my hair and my hair was getting healthier. I then recently straightened it just cuz I wanted to go my progress. After I washed my hair out , my hair became DEAD 😭😢 I am so so hurt right now, I regret straightening my hair soooo much. I worked so hard and now it's like I have to start over and I feel like it looks worse than it ever did 😢😢😢😢

Thank you for this video, I was thinking about cutting my hair off. I love your video and thanks again.

Thank for the info I'm transitioning to curly
