I know this is old, but I'm a barber. He could have totally knocked out those dark spots to blend in with the light parts or he could have not went down too light so the light spots wouldn't have been noticeable. Other than that, you are a gorgeous woman and rocked it!
K J Thank you 😊 I noticed others who have big chopped and did not have this issue maybe their barber used your technique. It eventually grew in and laid down by the next time I got it cut. I’m grateful.
@@LoriLoveTV yeah, stylist and barbers need to have integrity when working on a client. Its only right and they're getting paid. Short hair suits you well. I'm glad your experience was better the second time.
K J I went to the same barber and he does a great job each time I go. I just figured my hair started laying down because I was consistently brushing it. Thanks again 💕
@Happy thoughts penn It all depends on the texture and it was her first big chop. Her hair is wavy and shampoo would have helped the spots after it was cut down.
I been doing my research for weeks going back and forth about doing a big chop to start my natural hair journey. I’m 35 and this will be the first time being natural since a little girl lol. A big step for me. I just want to say thank you for this video! And your other big chop videos! I’m truly grateful!
Thank you so much for watching my videos! I transitioned out of my relaxer for one year (wanted to keep my hair long). Cornrows, box braids and two strand twists really helped blend the two textures together. Detangling my hair took FOREVER which is why I just cut it off after 12 months (the STRUGGLE was REAL). Growing my hair from a big chop has been great because the hair is much easier to comb with just one texture. The challenge with the big chop is the extreme choice of long to short hair plus the adjustment to your new texture. What helps the most during my big chop journey is 1st, mindset: reminding myself that this is me and I am enough. Having a positive mindset towards myself helps me embrace my natural hair. 2nd, sticking with the style that works best for my hair and lifestyle. Wash and go’s define my natural curl pattern and is the most low maintenance routine that I can do on my own. The most freeing thing I hope you remember from this comment is your hair is constantly growing which means regardless of the path you choose (the transition journey or the big chop journey) you hair will be growing with you and at some point you will be back at the length you are most happy with. I hope you are enjoying your natural hair journey❤️
Shout out to CC for requesting the complete footage of my Big Chop!!!! Come to the Barber with me at @11:27 . I hope you find the Barbershop tips in the 1st part of this video helpful as well. 💕
Less is definitely more. Short hair reveals your lovely facial features, especially your beautiful smile! My only criticism is that he didn't smooth those thinner spots on top.
Cheebi Umi Thank you so much for your feedback. I am so happy to know that this video helped you!!!! The Big Chop is so liberating you’re gonna love it!!!!
If you’re considering a big chop, just tell the barber you want a #2 all over and clean up the edges. They will know exactly what to do if they are an experienced barber.
I just Big Chopped for the 5th time and I love it more than the first two times. You gave out great tips. I’m over doing my hair. It’s grows and I shut down on what to do next. I love it ✨💕✨
I can definitely relate! I continued to cut my hair so I could maintain a short length. Then I let it grow in but now I’m debating cutting my hair again; I’m so lazy with my hair. I’m so happy you love your big chop🙌🏾 Short hair is gorgeous and easy to maintain! 💖
@@keianatruesdale_ I’m equally as indecisive! I pondered the big chop for at least a year. Now I have no regrets. I’m currently obsessed with wash n go’s since it’s a super easy style that lasts at least a week but I’m thinking about cutting it again or starting locs since it’s longer now. I like to keep it simple. Ever consider locs?
@@keianatruesdale_ OMG I feel the same way!!!! I’m currently indecisive about locs or cutting my hair again. Only reason I haven’t started locs or cut it again is the fact that wash n’ go’s are working for me. If my wash and go’s become too time consuming, I will likely just big chop again. I don’t have the patience for long hair anymore lol. Plus, I can just wear a wig if I miss long hair. I hope you enjoy your 6th big chop. No need for insecurities this time around. You’ll still be you and your beautiful either way ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing this experience. I’ve been natural, relaxed, natural and then relaxed again. I’ve been thinking about about BIG CHOPPING and this really put me at ease! I’m so excited for my BC. I’ll be cutting it for my birthday 3/28!
Teaching Fabulously You are so very welcome!!! I’m so happy to hear this video put you at ease. Best wishes on the start of your third natural hair journey🤗
@At this moment Thank you so much!!! I’m sure you’ll be cute with short hair too. Just find the style that works for you! I found that this hair style works for me only when a certain barber cuts b/c not every barber gets the part nice and thin as in this video. Now I prefer my hair half an inch long so that I can just wash and go but it took me a a lot of different failed hairstyles and colors before I found the look that works for me. Pinterest has a bunch of different short hairstyles for great inspo!!!! I hope you find a style you love🤍
I recenty cut my it was initially in pixie cut grew out but not even I cut the damaged hair off and its shaved on the sides and back but I do intend to visit a barber to clean up the cut your tips are insightful and have helped me thank you for posting
You should never trim a lady’s hairline with a razor. I have been natural for almost 20 years and have a wonderful barber from Atlanta, Georgia. I, myself love a nice line around my face, even though my barber says that ladies should leave their soft natural hairline, but he would never square me up with a razor as it makes heart lines like a man would have
I know this an old video. But, when I decided to go with a fade. I realized my hair is thin, so I looked like I was balding, it was like a diamond shape thin spot on the top of my head. I realized after wards that I have to tell him to leave more hair at the top cause of my hair texture
@@LoriLoveTV man I don’t want to sound ignorant. But what’s a TWA? And yeah I won’t get an actually cut for a couple months to get some density up there.
I can tell you we're not happy with those longs hairs in your head... that's what the dark spots really are. Just because you might use a 3M on some parts something like the top of your head may need different gauge lengths or no guard at all. He was trippin for that
After brushing my hair over time it eventually laid evenly (as evenly as it could). I went back to my barber a couple more times and my hair was smooth. I do have some thin spots so some spots are naturally darker than others. I think it was me not him. LOL My barber did an excellent job. I appreciate your tips.
Just wondering how long have it took for you to train your hair again after cutting it off because I've been thinking about cutting my braids off for some time
I could’ve sworn I answered this question. Thank you for your patience, I believe it took about about two weeks especially since I brushed my hair and tied it down with a wave cap every night.
I am assuming the barber was cutting my hair in the direction my hair grows. I think going against the grain takes off much more hair. With that said, I am not a hair professional so I do not know anything about barber techniques. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
Np Lori😊Neither am I. I actually used to get Jehri Curls for awhile. For many years I did my hair and my three daughters😁 Then I wanted to cut my own hair so I prayed, asked God for guidance and bought clippers. However, I love to follow others for ideas. I love it!! Thanks for the response. Happy Hair journey to you💇
@@misskevenpalmer8196 That is so cool that you did your own hair and especially your three daughters’ hair!!! I hope you are able to master your new clippers. They are kinda tough for me to use so I keep is simple and all one length. Best wishes on your journey❤️
tradition man LOL He shaved my sideburns. I never realized how much fine hair I had growing along the sides of my cheeks until then. I don’t get that shaved anymore... I think it’s more natural to let it be😊
Gloria Davis I decided to big chop my hair because of heat damage. My hair was extremely time consuming; wash days could easily be 4+ hours...I was tired of maintaining my own hair so I relied on the hair salon to straighten it at least once a month. I ended up with thin, limp hair. The big chop has been a blessing especially during the quarantine. My life is much easier with shorter hair. If I ever miss wearing long hair, I can always get a wig😊
The cut itself suit you but a poor barber. Maybe you didn't want a line up but he could of neatened the front and back better and I saw him use a brush but 3 times.
Dolly Mat My only concern at the time was the thin patches on top but my hair did eventually grow in and lay down just as my barber said it would. I prefer that the barber not line up the front or back as I feel that my natural edges are more feminine on me. Thanks for the compliment; I love my short hair.
@@LoriLoveTV I know what you mean about looking feminine. Barbers are so use to cutting guys unless a women is specific about what she wants she can end up with a harsh line up. I had locs for 11 years and big chop in December. During the pandemic I want to cut my own hair and was looking for ideas as a female.
Dolly Mat I specifically asked this barber not to line me up but when I went to a different barber the next time he forgot and lined me up 🤦🏽♀️. From then on I stuck with the barber in this video and I was good. LOL I eventually just maintained my curls in the short cut. This has worked for me because it’s simple but there are so many pictures & videos of cute cuts online that can used as inspiration. I hope you find the style that works for you.

Agreed it was a nice cut but experience should of told him not to go that low straight in and use the brush.

Hmmm🤔 i love short cuts and have been wearing them for years, just my opinion he could've done that cut better. Her grow out looks good though.
WhatvOther shapes can I shape up my head or do I have to be round with the buzz cut?
Idk, a stylist may be more helpful with this question.
He needs to Clean that up!!!! Looks nice on her!!!
Thanks for the compliment!!! I loved my hair cut this short 💕
She had the same look and questions I asked.. but thinking my cut might be fuked up.. no disrespect
Brushing it really helped. After a while, the hair lays down and looks great!
Should I come with my hair blown out? It’s already short
Dee Michelle Not necessary; men with fro’s don’t blow their hair out and the barber still does a great job. Just make sure your hair is detangled.😊
Bellissima con questo look...........
Paolo Mercia Grazie mille 💕

Overall, I was happy with my results and the next time I went back my hair laid perfectly.
He was Suppose to Go against the Grain and Make everything even not All Clumped up!!!! He Is not Good I would not pay him until Finished the Job!!! Lazy Barber You know that ain't Right!!!
My hair eventually grew in and laid down by the next time I got it cut. I loved this cut!!!
He didn't Do a Good Job!!!! He Is Lazy!!!
Whenever I go to the barber I go back to this guy and he does a great job each time I go💕
He messed her up, he should have wet the hair in order to make it lay and brushed it until it dried
Thank you for sharing a helpful tip!
I know I could've done a better job than this but will only cut myself and family hair. #BHG
good on you
Beautiful sis! But terrible barber.
Thank you!!! Every barber has their own technique. I’ve gone back to this barber a couple other times and have loved my cuts every time.
I think he did a great job!
She should have went to a stylist/beautician. The cut is too uneven. Her beauty is making the cut look better.
Unfortunately, the thin areas are due to hair loss. I was experiencing excessive shedding. I’ve since addressed the issue with my dermatologist.
Pretty
Thank youuuu 😊✨💖
