YESSS THIS!! I just want to address all the positivity on this video! Y'all are the change we need to see. Supportive, uplifting, positive! Just QUEENS, and nothing but in this community 🙌🏾👑
You already know the ins and outs of my transition journey 😅 but I’d love to see the diva cut video (trying to decide if I want to put half my paycheck into one)
I would reply recommend it! I love my hair after my cut, and more then that they taught me soooo much! And the place that I got my haircut was in Columbus, so that's perfect for you! The only thing is they book like 4 months out.. but on the up side you have plenty of time to save 😬 Thanks again for watching Kristin 💕
Thank you! My parents have good skin so thats a thing lol, I also take hellllaaaaa care of my skin though. I have a skincare routine vid up on my channel too if you wanna check it out!
I’m gonna cry🥺 I wish I can just cutt off all my dead ends with no problem like you😭 but the way my heat damaged set up is the top layer of my head is MAD damaged straight n frizzy while the rest of my hair is mad curly like wtf, idk what to doooo🙃
I messed myself up the same way girl! I'd say when you are wearing your hair naturally, treat the top like its still transitioning. You'll probably need perm rods to help the curl set. DONT put heat to that area anymore. And wait for it to get long enough to cut the dead ends off and make bangs out of it 🤷🏾♀️ Orrr if you don't want to cut it, you could just make the "half up in a bun, half down" your signature look lol
Thank you 💙 And I went to the salon in my job and I work at Ulta. But I’d be careful going to salons inside of Ulta. Do your research and don’t just go to any old body lol!
Love love love your transition video ❤️ it’s motivated me! If you could do a video on your high puff that would be great. I just can’t master it and I’d like to while my hair flourishes. Finally found a UA-camr with similar hair. Thanks !
Thanks for the video suggestion! I mastered the puff early on because I felt like I had to other choice lol. But in one of my future uploads I'll make sure I show how I do it!
For one can we not forget about the glow up u had like dang girl. So anyways lol ive had relaxers like crazy when i was younger. And i believe the end of the 8th to 9th grade summer when i came back from my dads i told my ma to just cut it all off. All of my relaxed hair. And my hair was down to my shoulders. Thats the longest it ever got but it started to break off and shed and have split ends so i had my ma cut it off after i let sum new growth come in. So i had a mini miniiii afro but i did a lil side part and twisted it back half way and used the sponge brush things boys use to twist their hair up. So i did that for a while and it was growing but was short. But i aint know how to take care of it. I knew nothing of moisture, trims, needing protective styles or that heat damage can come from blow drying my hair. And my ma is a hairstylist but idk i just wanted to do it on my own since my ma is more of the flat iorning type. So then last summer i went to my dads and once again i had nothing to moisturize my hair and we went in beaches and pools etc. And id wash it then blow dry it without moisture cause i was new to this natural thing. So i found out when i came home from my dads house that i had bad split ends and heat damage so i had to cut it off AGAIN ( also i was using cantu leave in conditioner as a moisturizer 🤦🏾♀️) so i cut most of it off and restarted over. My hair is at a decent length. Im trying to get it to my shoulders and make sure its 100% healthy but ive been using natural products and doing twist as protective hair styles or crocheting. But i dont know exactly what works for me as for products. So im still struggling with that to this day. But yah still in my transition oh also idk if my hair is damaged or something. But when my hair is wet i see a curl pattern but it doesnt stay. When its dried it just looks like i got a blow out but i didnt. So do i not really have a curl pattern. And idek what to use to bring my curl pattern out. ( sorry for the long comment)
Dang girl, you have definitely been through a journey! I just uploaded a video that might help you on figuring things out. It's called "so you're natural, now what." Also, maybe your hair isn't defining because it isn't used to being worn curly. You're probably going to have to trouble shoot for a bit to figure your hair out
Ik now it’s been 3 years since you made this comment but have you figured out your hair? I have 4a hair and have had braids since the 2nd grade I’m about to be in highschool and I’ve been trying my best to look for what’s best for my hair so I can wear it natural. I haven’t been taught to do anything to my hair at all! I can’t even do my edges properly. I always have to ask for help. This year I plan on doing my natural hair for the summer time and until I feel like I want to quit. My mother has always told me to never straighten my hair or use anything like a relaxer which is the reason why I have always had braids. I feel like eventually I have to start learning how to do my hair. I took a few hair quizzes and I got some products that’ll be testing out tomorrow so I may update them if I remember. They’re carol’s daughter products. Before that I used maui hair products and cantu. Anyways, my question is how is your hair now? Of course you don’t have to share if you don’t want to. My sister and I have the same hair type and she wears her hair natural all the time and it makes me feel bad because my hair isn’t as pretty and curly as hers. My hair is dry and like you said when you wet it you can see the curl pattern but when you blow it out you didn’t. That’s my same problem. Sorry for the long comment! Just looking for some help. 😊
Wow. Humidity didn’t affect your relaxed hair? It did mine. I would curl my hair in the morning and all my volume and curls would fall out within a short time being outside. But I have fine hair anyway.
Yeah now that you mention it, humidity did effect my relaxed hair in the same way. But my hair never poofed up because of the humidity if that makes sense?
I have been transitioning! I kinda had the same backstory always straightening and using chemicals to keep my hair straight and would bleach it out so bad which I thought looked more natural?!? (How I don’t even know) Never embraced my curls really always hated my fro, especially as a light skinned lady I was really self conscious about it. I really started to hate the maintenance and the ends looked awful from all the straightening and chemicals. I cut it all off. I stopped using bleach. I stopped straightening and eventually stopped using heat. I have now stopped coloring it all together. I’ve been tryin to be gentler with my hair now. My front bit of hair is also whacked out lol. I think it’s because I would straighten my bangs the most and have been pretty rough on them.
We don't have the same hair type, and your video only came up because I have my videos on auto play. But....SIS IM SUBSCRIBING BECAUSE YOUR CONFIDENCE IS JUST..UUUGGHH!! AND I MEAN THAT IN THE BEST WAY.
1.you are soooo gorgeous😍😍 2.we have ten same skin color 😋 3.please forgive me🙈🙈..but when you inserted the clip of your damaged hair video...I passed out😂😂😂😂😂man for real!!you did look calm!! Maybe you were in shock but didn't know it.😂😂😂
Hey! I know that the journey can be super difficult and frustrating, but I would definitely tell you to be patient! It was only recently that I have started to really love my hair. As far as what products I use, check out my wash and go routine video!
gorgeous! and I'm thinking of doing the same thing but I don't want to do the big chop.. my roots are so kinky and thick whereas the rest are relaxed and straight, I went to my local hairdresser a few months ago and she said I'll have to do the big chop but I don't know, what do you think I should do?
I believe that you will know when its time. It got to a point for me where I was losing so much hair because it was breaking at the "transition point" on the hair shaft. That was when it was enough for me. If you want to lessen the strain, protective styles might be the way for you will you're going through your process.
@I. Gonna post this for whoever is considering going natural but afraid to big chop. My hair has always been past shoulder length. When I went natural, I continued to do roller sets to blend the new growth and the permed hair together. About every two months I would trim my split ends. I am 4 years a natural. My hair is strong and growing so much. I have made mistakes along the way. I stay on you tube and have learned so much on how to handle my natural hair here. Bottom line, you do not have to chop all your hair off to go natural.
I have no idea if my hair is growing. I havent put any chemical or heat in my hair since December 2019. I am currently in the process of switching out all of my products and taking biotin. I have a full head of short Nigerian 4c hair. I really hope I get anywhere close to the length you were at at any point of this video LOL.
I got to 8 mins and was like "wow what a wonderful journey, let's watch another!" and then she said "this began my downfall. That's when I realized there was another 6 mins left.
Wow I can not believe this about what's you did to your hair and now you have cute natural hair now and I love your hair you looks so beautiful young lady I love your skin color girl you look so hot sexy beautiful women and I don't know how your hair grow so fast longer and I wish if my hair was same thing like yours....
YESSS THIS!! I just want to address all the positivity on this video! Y'all are the change we need to see. Supportive, uplifting, positive! Just QUEENS, and nothing but in this community 🙌🏾👑

Mine was on March 18th! Happy Birthday baby girl 💓
Simone Nicole thanks! My baby sister turned 2 on March 18!

2.we have ten same skin color 😋
3.please forgive me🙈🙈..but when you inserted the clip of your damaged hair video...I passed out😂😂😂😂😂man for real!!you did look calm!! Maybe you were in shock but didn't know it.😂😂😂
Girl I wasn't in shock, I was delusional and didn't realize how bad my hair was getting 🤦🏾♀️😂
It’s absolutely nothing wrong with my hair but you make me want to chop it all off and start again
lmaoooo!! Dont do anything crazy now! 😂
PUFF QUEEN
Thank you!! 💓
What products do you use on your hair... I'm struggling with my natural hair journey...😔😔😔😔
Hey! I know that the journey can be super difficult and frustrating, but I would definitely tell you to be patient! It was only recently that I have started to really love my hair. As far as what products I use, check out my wash and go routine video!
gorgeous! and I'm thinking of doing the same thing but I don't want to do the big chop.. my roots are so kinky and thick whereas the rest are relaxed and straight, I went to my local hairdresser a few months ago and she said I'll have to do the big chop but I don't know, what do you think I should do?
I believe that you will know when its time. It got to a point for me where I was losing so much hair because it was breaking at the "transition point" on the hair shaft. That was when it was enough for me. If you want to lessen the strain, protective styles might be the way for you will you're going through your process.

Just found your videos what things you did to make it grow?
Your melanin girl,,,you popping. Goddamn
You're so beautiful!
Thanks babe 💛
I have no idea if my hair is growing. I havent put any chemical or heat in my hair since December 2019. I am currently in the process of switching out all of my products and taking biotin. I have a full head of short Nigerian 4c hair. I really hope I get anywhere close to the length you were at at any point of this video LOL.

You are sooo pretty
Thank you, that's so sweet 💙
you’re so beautiful
Thank you 💛
Do you have 4b hair cause i feel like I see a bit of zigzag in that curl pattern?!
I think it's cool to see other races dealing with afro hair and they actually know how do it right
I know! Ken and Britney are so talented 😭🧡
@12:54 you look so good in yellow omg 😍
thanks babe 🤎
You're stunning!
And you are soooo sweet ❤️
how long did you transition for?
I stopped relaxing my hair in January of 2015 and I cut all my dead ends off in August of 2017!
Simone Nicole thank you!
Wow I can not believe this about what's you did to your hair and now you have cute natural hair now and I love your hair you looks so beautiful young lady I love your skin color girl you look so hot sexy beautiful women and I don't know how your hair grow so fast longer and I wish if my hair was same thing like yours....
Amazing vid! What university do you go to?
Thank you! And I went to Ohio University
U look so good ma 🍫🤩
So beautiful 😍
Thank you! 💛
But you’re like gorgeous asf and I love that you’re taking care of your crown 👑
Thank you babe 🤞🏾🖤
How it got so thick?
Her has always been thick. It was just itching to get out from under all that relaxer lol
