Girl I did another big chop on my long 25’ inch medium density hair back in December 2023 and I don’t feel bad about it. It’ll grow back. Let’s leave the dyes, blow drying and heat alone for a while ❤
Love that you're prioritising healthy hair still. It looks so good still. Nothing like your own fro and a homegrown headful of hair, girl. The little bits of blonde leftover after the first cut were super cute to me too
The “oh you’re bald” is accurate 😂 I big chopped about 6 months ago due to color and heat damage as well. It was cute when I was done but then I woke up the next day remembering what I’ve actually done 🥴 but your hair will be so much much healthier and grow so fast!
I plan to do mostly wash n' go's and sprinkle in some other styles here and there, but wash n' go's really helped me to grow my hair so I'll be sticking with that!
Girllllll this is so exciting !! I big chopped my color off last year and not only is it nice , full, healthy , and thick but it's like it grows more now that the dead hair is gone. Looking forward to more videos on this journey for you !!
Your hair is beautiful. It looks so fluffy & soft. We are all on this journey together. Can you please give us an end of the year hair growth update? Tfs.
Awesomeeee I did a big chop in January this year!!!! I got my hair bleached (professionally) and it made my hair so stringy and damaged and I was so unhappy and unsatisfied with my hair...now I love it because I cut out the bleach and my hair is thriving!!! I support you fully!!!
I am about to do my first big job since 2009 and this is helping me. My hair is just so damage from going so long without cutting it that it’s gotta go . Enjoyed your video, it was great❤
Having the courage to big chop and do what’s healthiest is something I advise every woman to do at least once in their life. Like chop down to the barely coil / curl and really get into how you feel about yourself without the hair. That self examination and exploration brings clarity around beliefs and provides a pathway to increased self love 💕 Enjoy the journey!
Your hair is super cute! I just chopped mine 2 weeks ago…can’t even put into a puff or pony 😢! Buuuutttttt I’m looking forward to growing it all back in a healthy way! Love your channel!
I just let go of "COVID" hair literally seconds ago. I shaved my head at the end of 2020 and relaxed it in May of 2022. We just celebrated a 10 year wedding anniversary and I feel like we're starting a new decade. I just cut my relaxed hair off. Hair is hair and it IS freeing when you have full control of your hair and what you choose to do with it.
I’ve seen many UA-camrs who after long hair journeys reach their hair goals and have to start over. Most of the time they decided they either want to “enjoy” their hair and begin bleaching and coloring it or straightening it more often, or, they come to the conclusion that their regimens are too tedious and time consuming and slack off on finger detangling, using oils, etc, and their hair suffers for it. Just like with a relationship, you have to continue doing the same things you did to get that man or woman if you want to keep them. ❤
I debated on doing the same with my bleached hair! I was so hesitant because my hair would be so much shorter. But I was on IG the other day and saw you posted a clip of this video and I took it as my sign lmaooo. Hair grows back and it'll be so much healthier and thicker now! Happy for you!
Yes!! I did the big chop for the first time on March 30 so it’s about to be a month!! And my hair is thriving. I’m just stuck though because I want to do the right thing for my hair and take care of it. Y’all plz help and send recommendations !! ❤️❤️
I had to do that with my locs. Once I bleached and colored them they wasn’t as thick and full. They looked dead so I started over with a new set of Microlocs. They’re short but my hair is healthy now. No more color
Woww I was anxious with you lol. I’ve been a silent watcher of your channel for years and never comment lol but I’m glad to see this journey and I know your hair will flourish. ❤
@@mariefs.Black girl curls.. they have people use harsh products, no leave ins, no deep conditioner, 3 gels, mousse, and no oils. It’s absolutely terrible for the hair.
@@nenala7684 because a lot of Black women do not receive the knowledge from their tribe on how to do their hair lol 😂… my mom quit doing my hair at 14 y.o. And before then she simply permed it.
@SimplyTamz I feel you sister! But with the amount of hair cair on social media for the last decade ! You should have known you was being scammed! But lol
Oh my gosh, I’ve been with you for so long so I can only imagine your shock like I’m shocked with you. I’m astonished. I’m so shook. I can’t believe you did this. I’m happy for you though of course.
Woooah didnt see this coming anytime soon. Youve been hair goals for me since i found your chanel 3 years ago. Do your thang girl, ill still be here watching.
I did the same thing last January for the first time and when I say I felt like a weight was lifted & I have been enjoying the process of my hair growing back healthier and stronger
Been a long time sub but I especially had to come back here after I just cut my locs off yesterday. I missed my loose natural hair for so long I feel like I can breathe again so I’ll be on this journey with you 😭
ive been watching you since 2017 when I first started learning how to do my own natural hair and started doing wash n gos I am now also entering an era where it is time for me to reflect my new life changes within my hair and I can't wait to big chop mine off as ut has been through a lot
JAELEN!!!! My heart was pounding watching this 😂. I’ve been here since 2018, & turned into a long hair girlie right along with you. I’m at mid back length now and have been THINKING about a cut. I’ve had 2 kids and went through postpartum hair loss. My body changed a lot and my hair has too. But chileeeee, I ain’t this brave yet. I think I can handle maybe 4 to 5 inches gone.
i feel like everyone should big chop at least once in their life!! girl when you came back in that last clip after you cut more you looked SO cute! i just know that hairs going to GROW so much!!!
I wasn't expecting you to cut your hair yet but i can understand why you did it. Your hair looks great, hope you do a roller set it will look fantastic.
I did the same thing a few weeks ago!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH. My hair is so thick and healthy and strong. I too experimented with heat, color and chemicals. I feel so me with the shorter black hair.
wow 🥹 in april 2022 i had mid back length hair and i went to a dominican salon twice and i had a good bit of heat damage. then got my hair braided and when i took the braids out almost all my hair came out with them. i tried to transition but the scraggly ends that barely curled had to go so i had a twa. now my hair is around the length you just cut yours to, maybe an inch or two longer. but now we can grow our hair back long together im so excited 🤩
love this, i had locs for almost a year. recently did my second big chop after spending two days combing out my locs. i cut my hair to the same length as you.
Girl I just chopped all my permed hair off after yearsssss, my ends were so thin. I got the layers fixed up by my stylist (as best as she could lol) and my curls are FLOURISHING. I’m so happy I didn’t just grow it out, either way you’ll have to cut. Looking forward to this next chapter with our hair 🥰
I just did this last night I’m glad you do this it helped me I let stress get the best of me and growing out blonde hair no heat damage but I did cry so hopefully you will show your wash n go or styles you try with the new healthy hair because I’m need help on what to do .
I did my big chop late feb my hair has grown but still i need a fresh cut to have my coils completely healthy and juicy.. it feels so good to wake up and go❤❤ this also is a transitin period of my life..
WOWW it's been so long since I've seen that beautiful fro of yours. Trust it'll grow back in no time. I bet same time next year, BOOM, back to ur original length. This reminds me of hazel goddess big chop from color and her hair flourished as well.
Yess love this I started mine over for like the 10th time since being 100% natural since 2008 I keep messing it up by applying heat and my hair NEVER reverts back the same !
Whoa whoa whoa! I grew 12” an accomplishment by my mom’s standards after i took over care of my hair! My hair was way longer when she was in control! But anywho i just big chopped to 2”. I came so far. My ends are bleached light light yellow and I won’t color it fully anymore. Highlights when it gets to a certain length i like! But no time soon. Growth now. 2 inches and onwards! Congratulations. I went through a phrase i went from 12 inches to 4 inches to relaxer to bleaching copper, orange, bleaching, pink, Aqua, blonde and olive green then blonde at 2 inch ends. No more coloring until it grows out. And i will only highlight like i said! All within 1-2 months The twa stage i dont like so here we go again! I will learn to love it!
Dang glad I found you. I’ve been contemplating chopping again. I don’t want to be so attached to my hair but it’s so long been growing for so many years! I just have some heat damage that I’m so over!!
I remember this exact moment when I decided to do this. the hardest part was letting go of the hair color. I was attached to that Auburn coppery brown color since high school and letting go was hard. coping meant hiding my hair under braids and crochet for almost 2 years. this was way, way harder then it seems at least for me. Sis you are braver then I am because I needed someone else to be holding them shears. I couldn't.
I have to say, you look so ADORABLE in your fro😭❤️❤️ I've been a long time subscriber, and I'm so excited to watch your journey unfold. Your hair is so full and luscious ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yesss here for all the growth! 🙌🏽
Not even "I've been here since the big chop", but BEFORE the big chop 😂
@@kimnoir and WAS!
Wow i never thought this day would come, you've been so committed so your color 🧡. Cheers to a new beginning!
I haven't seen my hair with no color in so long! I'm excited for this journey!
@@NaturalReign I'm excited for you and I'm here for it. Thank you for sharing this exciting journey with us!

Heat is😅 really the culpritt and bleach. Thats alot of hair😮
@@friedchicken892 I know.. I know 😭
Love that you're prioritising healthy hair still. It looks so good still. Nothing like your own fro and a homegrown headful of hair, girl. The little bits of blonde leftover after the first cut were super cute to me too
I’m shocked but I completely understand. I’ve big chopped numerous times and each time I didn’t regret letting go of the damage.
The “oh you’re bald” is accurate 😂 I big chopped about 6 months ago due to color and heat damage as well. It was cute when I was done but then I woke up the next day remembering what I’ve actually done 🥴 but your hair will be so much much healthier and grow so fast!
Your hair has ALWAYS BEEN BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Thank you so much 💕
Change is always good , you’re beautiful with long or short hair !
So glad to be part of this journey with you! Do you think you’re gonna use the same methods to grow it back? (Wash and go’s, braid/twist outs)
I plan to do mostly wash n' go's and sprinkle in some other styles here and there, but wash n' go's really helped me to grow my hair so I'll be sticking with that!
I was just about to say the same thing! Big Chopped in Feb, been natural 16 years
Me too
It was soo refreshing when I did it. My curls looked soo good!
She may be no LONGER INCHES but she sho is HEALTHY! can't wait to watch this journey Jay! I'm so excited 😊 and happy for you!

Not going to lie, if this is what my damaged hair looked like , when mine was dead, I would have been happy lol
I saw that you cleaned it up even more but I loved the tiny bit of orange left here
Yes!! I just did a chop last week of half of my color treated hair and it felt so good and freeing! Happy to see you on your journey! 💜
Yes girl!! Hair grows back and you had so much fun with color :) excited to see this new stage ❤
Yes! Can’t wait!
I’ve been watching you for so long you’re my inspiration to grow out my hair so happy to be apart of your journey 💕
I was not ready!!! I knew you were going to do it but not this soon! I’m actually trimmed mine today. Your hair goes fast anyway, it will be back!!! 💕
I’ve big chopped so many times and the hair grows right back! So excited to follow you in your hair journey ☺️
WOW, I was rooting for you! As I say, it's just hair....girl!! It grows back 😊
Yess love this I started mine over for like the 10th time since being 100% natural since 2008 I keep messing it up by applying heat and my hair NEVER reverts back the same !
Let’s go! I’m so inspired ❤ I love how free we can be with our hair.
Whoa whoa whoa! I grew 12” an accomplishment by my mom’s standards after i took over care of my hair! My hair was way longer when she was in control! But anywho i just big chopped to 2”. I came so far. My ends are bleached light light yellow and I won’t color it fully anymore. Highlights when it gets to a certain length i like! But no time soon. Growth now. 2 inches and onwards! Congratulations.
I went through a phrase i went from 12 inches to 4 inches to relaxer to bleaching copper, orange, bleaching, pink, Aqua, blonde and olive green then blonde at 2 inch ends. No more coloring until it grows out. And i will only highlight like i said!
All within 1-2 months
The twa stage i dont like so here we go again! I will learn to love it!

wowww! it’s gone grow back 🥳❤️
Hey Jaelen! Glad to see you, I cut off most of my color treated/dry hair recently, so hey when it’s that time it’s that time
Also glad to see you letting go of this phase of yourself, since hair can be tied to many emotions and experiences
Now we can grow our hair together!! I’m excited !! You look beautiful with long and short hair!
Dang glad I found you. I’ve been contemplating chopping again. I don’t want to be so attached to my hair but it’s so long been growing for so many years! I just have some heat damage that I’m so over!!
I remember this exact moment when I decided to do this. the hardest part was letting go of the hair color. I was attached to that Auburn coppery brown color since high school and letting go was hard. coping meant hiding my hair under braids and crochet for almost 2 years. this was way, way harder then it seems at least for me.

Your hair has always been gorgeous, and when you cut it, it was still so gorgeous and full! I am excited to be on this journey with you😊
I KNEW IT WAS COMING!!! Yayyy I’m so excited for you!!
OMG I was scrolling through my UA-camrs and I had to take a second. 😮 I'm glad you're not afraid to cut your hair though.
I accidentally big chopped about 7 years ago; you right it was freeing!! Can't wait to see the new head of hair you about to be rocking😬
I have to say, you look so ADORABLE in your fro😭❤️❤️ I've been a long time subscriber, and I'm so excited to watch your journey unfold. Your hair is so full and luscious ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
