: ) Thanks for the support! I'll definitely record and post a video from my BC whenever that time comes!!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Lol yea thanks! I wondered about that after I said it and then kept going : ) glad u enjoyed the vid and stay tuned for more!

@CaydnJacobs 14 лет назад

I watched plenty of other youtube vids on natural transitioning, and researched forms and blogs. I just want to say thank you for the extra inspiration to officially transition from relaxed to natural. This is my first time and hopefully my last attempting this. So thank you!! Blessed be.

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Thanks! Yea..that organix stuff is great : ) The curly fro was a result of a 4 day old flexi rod set. I just fingered through the curls at my scalp to give it some volume and separated the curls. When I did the flexi-rod set, I was able to keep that style for a week!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

I'm glad you found it useful!

@CaribGirlBrownSugar 15 лет назад

im transitioning for 7 months now.. im going to follow your journey to natural!!!

@bertlala 14 лет назад

Thanks for the blog. I have been transitioning since last year April. I have been weaving it for a year. I am about to take the weave out and just keep trimming it until I am able to get it to a length that I can deal with. I definitely appreciate the style ideas.

@TheCameroonianGirl15 12 лет назад

I transitioned for nine whole moths and my mom made me perm my hair. I was so mad. I wish you luck on your journey.

@pumkinpie27 15 лет назад

what you did i did. i didnt know how to take care of my hair the first time i did it, and now im doing it again and i know more than i did before. Im excited, i wanna do the big chop but i havent had a perm in a while so.

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Thanks! I had my stylist do the weave for me. It was a sew-in weave.

@lifeofshaneil 13 лет назад

i did the big chop today, all because of u, thanks dearie! ur a real inspiration, keep it up!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Thanks, this was my first vid on natural hair and I've learned a lot since then : )

@RochelleHansonMusic 15 лет назад

I love the curly fro and the bantu knots! Looks great on you :-) -Rochelle.

@Jaylew105 15 лет назад

Oh my God your hair is beautiful either way. I would kill for your hair the way it was before you cut it! It was so beautiful

@miscellaneousable 15 лет назад

Preparing for the big chop? Be like Nike and JUST DO IT! You've got the support of your family and you're going to look gorgeous. Can't wait to see how it goes. God Bless.

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Glad I could be of help. 2nd time is the charm : ) Good luck!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Hope your transition is going well!!

@txnatural.987 15 лет назад

Love that Norman Brown track at the end!! I'm 4 months in my transition process and am SO ready to BC, but am TRYING to go 4 more months. LoL Bantu-knot outs are one of my staples =) Great styles!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Thanks and the same to you!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

You're right. It isn't cheap, but it was inexpensive compared to a lot of other more "natural" shampoos and conditioners that are available. I think it was between 5-6 dollars. Some Walmarts carry it too so you may find it there cheaper.

@oluchia 14 лет назад

you're very pretty and you look really nice both ways. lol. i live in the caribbean and i'm transitioning back to natural hair and it's hard and i've only been at it for a month and some and that's because of our climate...thank you for this video! really supportive in a way!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Wow...our stories are sort of similar. A week before my BC, I had a wedding to attend and was "advised" to wear my hair straight. I pulled out that serious flat iron though (dreadfully). Anways, Good luck with your journey as well! : )

@MAELING 15 лет назад

thanks ma'am! Good luck with the rest of your journey : )

@almondy1963 14 лет назад

Don't feel bad girl. I was in my thirties before I discovered that jojoba was actually pronounced ho-ho-ba! And your hair looks beautiful.

@tiffann48 15 лет назад

i use olive oil conditioner it's really good...it feels soft and it smells really good. I'm also transitioning it feels really liberating

@ariannatyson618 11 лет назад

I'm 14 and I haven't gotten a perm since I was like, 9. I cut all my hair off in the 5th grade and so I've been going natural but my hair is really dry. I usually wear braids all the time. And my cousin has a perm and her hair is longer than mine and she's always saying "Omg. You have to take care of your perm that's why you're hair kept breaking when you had a perm." But that wasn't why. My hair is just sensitive to harsh chemicals. Natural and proud. ^_^

@1LADYNITA 15 лет назад

I decided to go natural. I know it will be a journey, but I'm up for it.

@rayallove 14 лет назад

omg you look so cute with the curly hawk hairdo!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Yep, that is like mine. Well you don't have to do the BC. I know some girls who have transitioned for more than a year. Let me know if you ever decide to try to go natural!

@Kiyone 13 лет назад

@esohe81 it's not that they are bad for the hair. it's just that our hair is prone to dryness. because of our kinks and coils our strands aren't saturated with sebum. SLS/ALS strips our hair completely of the little oils we do have. so unless diligent deep conditioning follows, one can say harsh sulfates used frequently are "bad" for our hair type. increased dryness leads to breakage which inhibits growth. they're just harsh detergents we should avoid since moisture and growth is the goal

@MAELING 15 лет назад

thank you!

@LaTinaLaShea 14 лет назад

im during the same thing and i have been with out a perm for about five months i try and keep my hair in braids but they really are hot and it summer time and i really like your hair stlyes i will realy look intoo them thanksss..?!!!!

@SivvySiv 15 лет назад

I think I'm gonna do it!

@MAELING 14 лет назад

@chocolytesprynkles I would use the plain, raw unrefined shea butter on my face

@iverenabwa 15 лет назад

I love you!!!... You're the first person on here to pronounce shea butter properly... Heck, you even said Jo-jo-ba oil!!! =D

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Thanks! And norman brown is the truth : ) have fun with the rest of your journey!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Thanks : )

@meek.intuitive 14 лет назад

Peace Goddess. Congratulations on your decision! If you need any advice or have questions let me know, I did my "big chop" May 2008. Peace, Love, & Light ~Ms. Meeka

@bellasong75 15 лет назад

quietrain7: I would say try to order things online if possible however, i Know $ is tight for some of us. I like to deep condition my hair using things u find in the kitchen: avacados, mayo, olive oil. Mix it together and saturate hair with it. Cover your head with plastic cap/bag. Place a hot towel on for 20min. Leave the mix in your hair 30-60min. Do this weekly. Hope this helps:)

@StrawberriLust 15 лет назад

same here!

@moodindigo7772 15 лет назад

I transitioned for 2 years and just cut relaxed ends off last week. I had to cut much more than I wanted because when I started my transition I was uninformed and was flat ironing consistently so a lot of my new growth was damaged. Congrats on your decision and please check out my vids if you get a chance.

@Latia70Virgo 14 лет назад

You can find the products at Walmart!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

You only put as much time into it as you want : ) Trust, I'm working on my PhD in engineering and my hair is NOT my life *smile*

@vienne101 13 лет назад

I'm currently transitioning and I've had a weave for three months. Now I want to take it out but I don't know any styles to do with my natural hair while transitioning. could you show how you achieved the fro-hawk and the curly fro. by the way, thanks a lot. you have really inspired me to transition( hope my hair grows as fast as yours :)) God bless.

@MsLotusBlooms 13 лет назад

OMG, you are so gorgeous.

@pink32smooches 14 лет назад

@ydelaluz 14 лет назад

hola, me encanta su estilo de cabello..pero por favor estoy en Portugal y se me hace muy difícil encontrar algunos productos, si pudieran recomendarme el champú y acondicionador para mi cabello que es seco y estoy en la etapa de la transición. felicidades

@Kookie28Krisp 15 лет назад

Loved your weave--did you do it yourself? Was it a full head weave? All of your styles looked very very nice on you! :-)

@PhilPattersonJr 14 лет назад

I know this has nothing to really do with your video, and I apologize but you are VERY beautiful! It got me to watch the whole video too lol...

@tawana251 14 лет назад

ur hair is pretty

@catherinejadeox 14 лет назад

how do you deep condition? it would be great for you to do a tutorial on it! :)

@dee.tyson1 14 лет назад

Your hair is gorgeous! especially on the updated vids with your natural look! I love how thick your natural hair is! I do have a question, I'm currently in the process of transitioning for about 2 months now, I dont plan on doing the BIG CHOP! With proper treatment and natural remedies, do you think my hair snap/break the longer it grows without doing the BIG CHOP?? I really need your advice. Thanks!!!

@MAELING 15 лет назад

Keeping it simple is smart! Its way too easy to become a product junkie, lol

@ProudMomOfIsaiah 14 лет назад

You have ABSOLUTELY gorgeous eyebrows!! (Not trying to b rude....but did u ever have uni-brow?) I ask becuz my bff does && she's the only person i've seen besides u with such long thick dark brows!!! N e way I LOVE them!! && much blessings on your journey!

@faybaye1 11 лет назад

lol i use to get perms all the time... im just like you... im going natural now though

@KellyGreene08 15 лет назад

ooo! so pretty lol

@iverenabwa 15 лет назад

Hi Kelly, you're right, that's not the point of the video, and with all due respect sh-e-a (not sh-ae) butter is correctly pronounced the way nikkemae2003 said it. In Nigeria, West Africa, where we produce some of the best sh-e-a butter that is how we say it. As for the Jo-jo-ba i just say it how i see it. X

@jaimee505 15 лет назад

no my friend did it when she was in 7th grade go ahead i wish i had started when i was that age i jus cut my hair off and im a senior

@rina2410000 13 лет назад

how do u transition? do you just not get perms and relaxers? do you still get treatments at the hairdressers? To transition do you just wash your hair and use natural hair care products? gah so challenging ><

@msrose4 13 лет назад

@abesykagdfu omg! im 13 and i wanna go natural too! when i was little, i had very curly hair. ever since i got a perm my hair has been breaking. i just recently got a perm, but the perm never lasts long. i thing its good that we wanna go natural! :)

@cinnaminss 11 лет назад

so if i just stop perms while taking care of my hair it will go back to natural?

@quietrain7 15 лет назад

I have just started to go natural and I am having a hard time.. Because I am leaving in Europe right now and the water here is very hard. I don't know what products I can use PLEASE If you can help?

@DominqueWit1Eye 14 лет назад

Im trying to transition but my hair does not like the idea lol and I can not afford all those hair products it seems like everything they want you to go for the natural hair process is so expensive...blah idk what im gonna do

@pintofowl 15 лет назад

please tell me how u r going to do this .

@FranciaMichelle 14 лет назад

Kay, does this natural thing mean you can't straighten it, cause I wanna grow my hair long so I can do stuff with it, I don't want it to be puffy and afro-y. I love afros but not all the time. I wanna be able to do stuff with it. I'm 15 and wanna start so if it takes me a while to grow my hair, thats fine, but I don't think I wanna go natural.

@Maameo1 14 лет назад

So after thinking about it for 3 years, I've finally decided to transition, but without the BIG CHOP. Can you recommend any products that I can use during that transition?

@LovelyNails101 13 лет назад

how do you make your intros?! and you have beautiful hair:-) (i saw all the episodes)

@ashleecadien 12 лет назад

what products did you use when you did the two strand twisted bantu knots? I have done them once or twice but my hair always ends up looking dry half way through the day

@msgucci0099 13 лет назад

Question #1: Is it necessary to cut your hair to go natural? I haven't had a perm for 3 months(the longest I went was 6 months)and I'm thinking about not using a perm ever again. Question #2:Is it better to use the Instyler or Chi flat iron to make the hair straight?

@thapryncess3 13 лет назад

ur story sounds a lot like mine!!!

@Aerogirl530 13 лет назад

@abesykagdfu me too !

@greenmean28 14 лет назад

@chokemarie12345 14 лет назад

@KellyGreene08 15 лет назад

im learning more and more from nikkimae2003 concerning natural hair care but I must say she did NOT pronounce neither 1 of those words right :) but thats not the point of this video.

@mzkeri340 13 лет назад
