1 YEAR AFTER SHAVING MY HEAD

- Опубліковано 23 сер 2024
- WOW! It's been a whole year since I took those Wahl Clippers to me head and shaved ALL OF MY HAIR OFF! Never would I have thought this would take me on a journey of Self Love, send my self esteem through the roof, and enable me to connect with so many Beautiful Sisters who have decided to embrace our beautiful Kinky Curls resulting on our #NappilyEverAfter tales.
Thank you for taking this journey with me, and thank you in advance for your kind words on those tough days.

Thank YOU For Watching!!
Her son was so sweet I cried when he kissed her after she shaved her head💓
Thank you! I love him so much!
It's the sweet little things that they do when you don't expect it that makes the day better.
@@melviasheppard8466 Like the time my toddler niece cried when I had to go to work when usually she is not found of going to people she doesn't get to see very often. She didn't want me to leave. I gave her a hug and told her I will be back. I will be leaving for Army Basic Training in November so I can imagine how hard saying goodbye will be on me emotionally. I don't have kids yet but I am getting a feel of how it will feel like leaving the youngest loved ones behind should I ever get deployed. Emotional 😢
Congrats on going to bootcamp. If you have any questions, reach out. I was navy and have Army Sorority Sisters. My niece cried when I left, but she was so happy to see me when I graduated. I bought he a Navy teddy bear that she still has to this day and she's 24.
@@TieeshaEssex Thank you. And speaking of hair, I started the journey to going back to natural hair in 2014 after five years of having a perm that burned my scalp and nearly ate up my hair alive. I started losing my hair in the back and around my edges and my hair was getting thin. Then I came to the realization that I missed my thick full looking natural hair and yearned to have it back. So I stopped going to hair appointments and let the $45 perm grow out. Because I didn't want my hair to be cut too short, I waited till my new grow got to a certain length long enough to put in a short ponytail before finally going for The Big Chop. I was also wearing more protective cornrow styles during the natural hair journey until my hair grew and grew more. Then I found ways to manage my hair while wet after washing it such as parting it into sections with my fingers instead of a comb and applying conditioner to my hair the same way I'd apply grease to hair: with my fingers and apply more conditioner all the way down to my ends. Then after that, it's Detangling Time. I use a wide tooth comb and start from the ends and work my way up to the roots. Then I twist the sections up after combing out the tangles. I put a plastic bag on my conditioned hair and sit under the dryer for 30 minutes. And lastly, I rinse out all the conditioner with my hair still twisted up to prevent retangling my hair back up again during the rinse. My blow dryer has a comb attached so I comb as I go as I dry my hair. What was your job in the Navy? Any hair care tips/suggestions for black hair in boot camp?
When your young king kissed you ..it brought a tear to my eye a child's love is the best

What would we do without our babies. Our children always are supportive and have our backs.
Our babies were the closest to our hearts than anyone else could possibly be. I like to think my son came into this world holding a piece of my heart. I love him so much!
I was beginning to feel like I was the only black woman who didn’t feel confident and completely comfortable in public with my bald head. I got so comfortable with the representative I created I began to think those images were me. I’ve finally let go of who I used to be and finally loving the real me. Thank you so much for your honesty.
I damaged my hair with a life time of dying it and shaved it off because I was sick of dealing with it. What surprised me is how good it made me feel. It was also liberating as a woman to just not be preoccupied with my looks . It's growing out, I take care of my hair now and totally gray but it's ok. Good video, signed old white lady
I dye my hair because the gray hair isn't all over yet. Thinking about going to a salon and have it colored platinum gray. I'm still going to keep my short afro.
That sounds like me right now! Im letting my white hair grow out im only 33
@@clarivelgomez1706 it's nice to hear that you are so young and proud of yourself. I have dye my hair for as long as you been born. I have a full head of hair that won't grow past my ears. Because of ALL OF THE CHEMICALS.
@@melviasheppard8466 hello! Well honeslty i have the same problem always trying new colors w my hair but i wonder if you put castor oil or take any vitamin e and hair supplements? It sucks to hear ur struggling w that and i made the decision of going natural all because i saw this beautiful old lady w a long white beautiful hair and fell in live w her natural hair so i said to myself theres nothing wrong with white hair so im 33 and grey hair and i dont care no more i honeslty cant wait to see it grow! So hopefully u can try to take this vitamins and see that ur hair will grow long again !
@@melviasheppard8466 try msm its a natural food grade powder u yake it with vitamin c sofar i have seen improvement of growth on my hair try castor oil also amd massage ypur hair regularly
Thanks for the inspiration, I just experienced a hair chopping and am having a difficult time with the transition. and finding ways to embrace "ME"! It's been a month of tears, but after watching you I truly see the beauty in being natural! You are gorgeous
I was called sir in the grocery, I was bending over reaching for something and he only saw the back of my head,he said excuse me sir,I wasn't offended, I just laughed..By the way your son is adorable, Blessings!!
Latoya Hale 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm sorry but i just had to laugh 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@theresaelizabethelijah117 its all good
Thank you for this video ☺️ I’ve just shaved my hair and I am soo ready for the healthy growth.
Congratulations Beautiful on your journey!! You are going to fall in love with your hair! Please share tips and let's Grow Together! 💜
Congrats. My only note of warning(coming up on 10 months in March of growing my hair back after shaving to bald), is definitely be careful and very mindful about which natural hair products you choose to use for your hair. I regrettably learned the hard way, that my hair is no fan of aloe vera. It really thinned it out in spots.
Also, I advise learning how to trim your own hair or going to people you really trust. I just went to get my ends and sides tapered down a little bit, last Friday. And dude, took my one full and finally out of the awkward stage growth, down to looking like I had only been growing my hair out for 3 freaking months! I'm sooooo pissed as I had for the most part been trying to grow my hair out WITHOUT using ANY hair pills and so forth(until like a little over a month ago). And it was coming in awesomely. Slow, but awesome. Now I have to go through the awkward phase all over again because he took WAAAAY too much off. Saying it will help it grow better. My ass. :(
But yea, definitely be careful of stuff like that.
Me too but at times i be nervous
Check out my video here on wearing my natural hair in public

Me too
Everytime I doubt my big chop I come back and watch this video...,thanks for sharing
I love this video more than any other big chop or shave video on yt. Because it's emotional, real, and you was very honest and open💜.
I did the Big chop a year ago and received nothing but compliments. Especially from men. I've never been ashamed to rock my Bald head because it makes me feel just as empowered as I did when I had hair. I have soooo many wigs,probably too many to count😁😁🤣🤣🤣. I even went as far as going Platinum Blonde for the summer and loved it. It's all about being comfortable in the skin you're in. You are Beautiful Hun,Embrace You!!!

I've been wanting to shave all of my hair off due to my hair coming out in two places. I was told I had alopecia areta, but that has not been confirmed. So sorry for the long story. I love your hair!!! #feeling inspired.
What are you using for the hair something curly couldn't hear you
Sons are precious. My son kisses my bald head every day. He says that it's medicine.
You just made me cry! That's so beautiful! Hug him for me!
heart4 Hymn stoooop! Y’all making me want to become a teenage moooom.😩
@@lilyraimey3499No pls do school and get married❤😂
Don't do that! Marriage before baby carriage!
Great advice. To add to your comment - do not pursue a feel good degree or rack up a bunch of student loan debt.
Your voice over was so funny but very good. I love your personality!
Thank you for your lovely compliment!
I died at the part when you said someone asked you was it a wig. And crossroads is my song.
One of my pet peeves..rude people asking rude questions .
YES! Im thinking of making a part 2 to this video
People are very rude, usually the ones that get their feelings hurt when you just look at them wrong

On new years day I was ready to shave my head just like that I still have those thoughts
No matter what you are beautiful short hair or long hair it look very nice on you😊💓💓💓
Did u wear wig caps under ur wigs?
I'm here in Cincy also
Do you have any more info you can share about Sandy in Cincy? Nice video btw.
Wow,i didn’t expect a hair video to make me emotional,your son is so sweet!
Awww! I have the most amazing son! He's all of a sudden camera shy, but I'll get him into more videos.
I used to live in Arizona and I learned that moisture and sun are excellent for our natural hair. My hair grew fast out there. I moved to Wisconsin a good 7 years ago and struggled to take care of my hair. I recently went through a phase where my hair started breaking off so bad that it left bald patches. Very traumatic. This happened a good 6 months ago. For four months I literally watched it just die. The patches we're so bad I felt horrible. Finally I went the hospital. The doctor asked me if I was stressed. Had a break up or anything. I said no. My hair was just falling out. He stated that my scalp was fine. No scars or nothing that showed up to explain why my hair was falling out. I left confused but I went home that day and decided two things. The first was I was going to go back to olive oil and work with that. Second I was going to use the creme of nature shampoo and conditioner more often. Especially the conditioner because I had learned that in winter's like these in Wisconsin deep conditioning is a must. In Arizona I had never needed it. I also decided to cut my hair low because of the bald spots. My hair has been receiving the conditioning and olive oil for a month and slowly but surely my hair is starting to grow back in. I had so man patches of bald spots it was ridiculous. I hate that it happened but I came out stronger for it and I am learning way more about natural hair than I had in Arizona. I I know more about my hair and it's follicles and how it respond to different things such as cold and hot. I discovered that my hair parosity is low so I need conditioning heat and warm water when washing my hair vs cold because cold causes my hair to shrivel up. It also causes difficulty with penetrating the hair shaft and my follicles. I also discovered that oil and water is what I really need next to a deep conditioner because my hair thrive off of it. I also learned in cold weather if you don't wear extensions keep it tied up using a silk scarf or a bonnet. When you are at work or home or in a building of some sort for a long period of time let your scalp breathe. I can't wait to see my hair a year from now. Also the conditioner I use on my hair twice a week, being sure to rinse it out and then I shampoo weekly. I have seen a few things happen to my hair. 1. It's stopped breaking off. 2. The little bit I do have is healthier and 3 new growth is happening. The bald spots are filling in, especially the big one.
Everything you said is the TRUTH! Exercising and getting outside like you said helps. I'm so happy it's spring and I'm looking forward to summer so I can rock my afro! Stay lovely and continue updating us!
Brandy Mun Keep up with the hair maintenance. You are in control😁
Ugh I love your son, he is so supportive!
This was such a a great video, you are so Beautiful 🙌🏾 with all your looks. Not only are you Beautiful, you are so smart and very talented. I am so very proud of you! You are growing leaps and bounds, Love Mommy Sekhmet AKA ✌🏾#SekhmetSapphyreSun💓😻🙏🏾
I've been binge watching women cutting bald videos bc I literally just cut mine BALD April 29th and I'm curious to see how this healthy thick 4c hair grows back. I know I'm in for a journey trying to manage 4c natural hair but I'm going to do my very best
Congratulations! Thank you so much for watching! Wishing you the very best on your journey. I'll record a video soon on which hair products I now use. Please read the ingredients in everything you buy because most of it keeps you bald. Use the Yuka app.
I sista with nappy hair is such a turn on!
And a brother who appreciates it😍🥰
I just cut my hair all off 6 days ago for the first time in my life!! I washed it conditioned it massages my scalp and keep wild hair growth oil and and I feels a difference already like my scalp saying” thank you”!! it’s already growing !!! This vid is inspiring thanks!!
Love it 😍 I just cut all of my hair off like 30 minutes ago 🥴 I’m excited 💗
CONGRATULATIONS!! Keep me updated on your journey if you're sharing it on social media. Im getting ready to upload my 2 year update. Check out my natural hair journey playlist for encouragement on your journey ua-cam.com/play/PLBoloxIo0vLppxfyQ1DZ0MtENRF8djCV3.html
Tieesha Essex kk thanks luv will do 😊
Thank you Tieesha Your video was so cute. I shaved my hair off a week ago and wore a bandanna to work for the first two days worried about what people will say about me then one day I was working and my bandanna fell off and one of the staff was like OMG! you look good with a bald head it's perfectly shaped stop wearing those stupid bandannas lol. So from that day forth I stop wearing them where ever I go not caring who says what. I wear earrings to show those that I'm a woman.
Yes. My hair was down my back and i decided to shave it and start over. That was the best feeling ever ❤
Good for you sis ❤ I shave my hair every year ..I start a natural journey and when it gets long I relax it and it breaks off then the process begins again 😭 😂
Your eyes spoke to my soul and your smile is absolutely gorgeous. Whatever you had gone through I commend you and your transformation and through all you were so graceful. Thank you so much and you rocked every style. You definitely inspired me
Sis you missed out on the whole feeling FREE part of the Big chop, I could not hide my big chop because I felt free confidence and happy 😊
Thank you for watching and sharing your journey. My journey was to share this intimate moment in private with loved ones before the public. I had to fully accept myself first before revealing to the world. It made me stronger which helped me reach this 2 year mark with zero regrets💜
Yesssss, that's exactly how i felt when i did the big chop and o literally use the word I FEEL FREE. I thought that what she said in the beginning of the video but she didn't. I rewind it 3x to make sure I was hearing correct but she didn't say it.
Tieesha Essex congratulations and thank you for being so transparent. I’ve done the big chop twice but I was so afraid the first time, so I did the whole fake it til you make it. I really didn’t have any confidence without my hair. I felt exposed. Eventually I began to feel free. So I did it again and it’s a completely different journey this time. Again, thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching. Although I may not have said FREE I definitely enjoyed detachment from superficial things I thought i needed to feel beautiful. When I wore my TWA and fell in love with what I saw in the mirror, that is when freedom hit. Wish I lived in an area where I saw more faces that looked like me, maybe my reveal to the public would've been sooner, but in my neck of the woods anytime I change my hair I have to prepare for crazy reactions. Thank you again for watching and check out my 2 year update. Continue sharing your progress with me beautiful sisters 💜
Love it, I shaved my edges yesterday 😂I got tired of seeing them all thin and lowkey broken. It looks awkward as hell on me, but I have two wigs I’m going to buy another one and just keep massaging it ✨💛
They will grow back thick as ever! Please share your progress!
@@TieeshaEssexupdate they grew back really well. I’m revisiting this video because I just big chopped due to postpartum shedding ✨
I was confused for a man twice lol didn’t bother me just laughed it off 😂❤️
I am all for this video & I love your personality! It's so good to know that I am not the only one who will wear a wig out in public while going through the hair growth progress. This was very reassuring for me as I am going through this as well❤
Congratulations Beautiful on your journey of natural hair and self love! Thank gui for your lovely comment! Yes I wore wigs in public because I had to accept myself in private. It's a process. Once my confidence strengthened, I'd get up, see my reflection, smile at myself. Weeks later I was driving to the atm no wig, then just out and about. But is all on your timing. Stay gorgeous and check out the other videos in this playlist for inspirations. Keep in touch!
"That frost did not respect my scalp" lmao
Can I just say, how awesome it is to meet another person that shaved their head as well? I did mine last May. Was just over the cost and damage of the relaxers. I initially tried transitioning as I work in retail and more times than not have to wear a hair net. But yea, once I came up on that line of demarcation in the wrong way and accidentally yanked out some hair when styling....yea, it was time for me to shave things. No wigs for me though, just a work cap I had while working in the deli. But totally wished I could have pulled off wigs. Just I feel like any time I put one on, it totally stands out as not belonging to me or something.
But yea truly congrats on your hair journey as well. Natural hair is one heck of an amazing ride. :)
Congratulations and thank you for your compliments! Your story is so similar to mine and I LOVE IT! Wigs worked well for me early on but now I can't stand them! It feels like spiders crawling all over me lol. I bought a wig that was cute on another youtuber, it's hideous on me! I welcome your tips and feedback as we're go through our healthy hair journey together!
Oh any time at all. I'll be the first to admit, I'm still in one heck of a learning curve as well in regards to my hair. And honestly seeing your 1 year growth there at the end, it semi made me sad a little. Because I was nearly there, and then I foolishly went to get my "ends trimmed" last Friday from a local hair cutting place(Great Clips, as I had a good experience last time I went to one in a more metro area). And yea, I lost 6 months of growth in 1 day, (Was my face for a few days afterward and couldn't even verbalize what happened for a little while)> (- _ -)). The the lord for hair accessories(in particular this flexible/adjustable blue hair wrap ribbon thingie I bought a while ago from wal-mart. Couldn't use it when my hair was a bit longer as I was more into bigger, fuller curls. But now since I'm more afro/stray coils going on these days. It works better now).
So yea, my biggest tip, if you haven't learned already. Please, PLEASE, learn how to trim your own ends or allow only someone you absolutely trust to do so(I'm working on that now). Also, it's very key to pay attention to how particular products work with your hair. As I was all about the essential oils and massages on my scalp at first and that worked great. But then I got curious how aloe vera would work and castor oil. Even shea. And yea, found out the first 2 totally thin and frizz out my hair. And Shea totally sucks the life out of it(as does Olive oil). So in a word, not all natural ingredients/products, are meant for everybody.
I was curious though, and I probably missed it in your video. But was wondering how do you handle hair shedding? So far I've been trying this black tea rinse I found. And it's still kind of new yet. But I'm optimistic. I also look forward to learning more from you as well. As your hair looks sort of similar to mine. Which, really makes me happy, cause out of countless YT vids, I've seen over the months. I haven't really seen someone with close to the same type. So I'll definitely have more questions too. Be great learning from someone else too in the journey.
Ok, I NEED TO SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL! You are so knowledgeable and I'm learning so much. My hair sheds when it's in braids or if it's dry and brittle. Look for my wash day video and my most recent video on Extreme Hair growth yogurt. Those items have drastically reduced my shedding. I'm going to do a review on this product i'm using that has internally reduced my shedding

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I'm 8 weeks in from big chop. Looking forward to each month of growth.
I'm sure you look lovely! Congratulations! Be sure to check out the full Natural Hair Journey playlist. I look forward to your updates!
My second time watching this video. I come back to it for some reason. Your son is a sweetheart ❤️
Thank you for your support. I love my son with my entire existence. He's a big brother to many and teaching younger boys to be Gentlemen In Training.
Thanks for sharing your story...I’m shaving mines tomorrow,my hair is damaged
Congratulations on the start of a lovely journey! You save so much money not trying to save damaged hair. Your hair will grow back so healthy and full. Please share your updates a
Did you shave it?
First time watching anything to do with hair but watching you shave your head was very moving especially afterwards you really start loving the natural you.
You're making me want to shave my head again. The love and support I've gotten has been so rewarding on top of the lovely comments. Thank you so much!
Your son is too sweet a little gentleman
Thank you! His father set a great example for him.
Very nice video. I’m thinking about just shaving all of my hair off so thank you for sharing!
I like how ur hair has grown I am in my 3rd month I hate the loss of my hair due to diabetic pills but it is growing fast looking at yours after 3l1 years gives me hope and puts a smile on my face thank u be bless
Omg years ago I cut my hair, and wow... you take me back.It makes me want to do this again.
Thank you for sharing this video. I've been wanting to shave all of my hair off to start fresh but was too afraid until I saw your video.
You are phenomenal, with Uber self pride! Thank you for encouraging me. I have been a slave to straight hair the majority of my life. I am embracing the concept of going back to my roots🤣 and you have been a tremendous help🤗
I love you new best friend! Thank you so much for your kind words. I too was a slave to weaves & wigs and would REFUSE to leave the house without either one. Now since beginning this journey for the right reasons, I leave the house without makeup, and haven't worn a wig or weave in over a year. Wishing you all things great on your journey.
Thank you for being honest it cuts down the frustration and the pretense usually associated with black natural hair growth videos.
You're very welcome. Thank you for watching.
I just shaved my head can’t wait for the progress 😊
I'm 12, I have 3c hair and it was really damaged from not having it cut or trimmed since I was 6! I got an undercut it has been 5 months and my hair is so healthy and it is growing really fast!
Your hair growth makes me want to cry. Finding out that I shaved my hair off in vain and realizing I have trich and alopecia..it makes my 3 year journey discouraging because I cant grow my hair in the middle. I love how yours has grown. Just wish I knew how to grow my hair with out the weave and using the right products. I'm already dealing with split ends & hair falling out from the roots. -sigh-
Thank you for watching and sharing your story. I just uploaded my 2 year update and have a video called Extreme Hair Growth Yogurt made by fellow UA-camr Sehkmet Sapphire Sun. Get in contact with her and she'll assist you. Please continue to share your progress. No matter what, let your beauty shine💜
There is a tool that you can try...It's a micro needling tool for the effected areas of your scalp. The Idea is to make, ever so small, (micro) punctures in your scalp to give your growth oils a better chance to work effectively. You can find the tool, and get more info, at "Pump Hair". All the best to you!😉
As a male who suffers from male pattern baldness, I spent years trying to make my thinning hair look like the hair I
no longer had.
Even tried propecia and rogaine.
Then said to hell with it and shaved my head.
Stopped pretending and went with who I am.
It worked.. Turns out, I look like a bit of a badass with a shaved head.
(Instead of friar Tuck with the fringe hair).
I like that you embraced who you are and don't bow to standards set by society.
Also, the fact that you are a gun person is just so cool.
And badass as well.
Rock on!!
I shaved my head over the weekend and it took the holy spirit and some to get me to walk out of my house without a wig on .
Congratulations! I'm so proud of you! I still remember my first day no wig or hat and I fell in love with my face! I have a video on here with my 3rd or so time out no wig. I want to know how was this day for you? ua-cam.com/play/PLBoloxIo0vLppxfyQ1DZ0MtENRF8djCV3.html
I want to shave mine. But my worse fair is walking outside without a wig! 😓
I just did my big chop a week ago. ❤ My hair was really damaged from coloring and not taking care of it. You look beautiful ❤ your son is precious
Thank you lovely!! Congrats on your beautifully natural journey.
Hello. I don't know what you were going through at the time. I hope that your liberation was a bounty of rewards to all of "YOU". The day I had to cut my wife hair off we both cried together and it brought me to a bit closer to her. And god knows a better person. After her hair grew back, I allowed mine to grow back as we often felt the unity of 2. Today I wear a bald head to remind me of our own fragility an how not to take these around you for granite. Yes it's a peaceful love and dedication to Serenity.....! Thanks for sharing your video.
Your son is the sweetest omg🥺❤️❤️
Thank you. I love him!
Her and her sons relationship ❤️. Hope it stays that’s way .
Aww, her son is so sweet. Giving his mom kisses 🥰😘
Thank you. I love him so much
She's something else. Nicely taught son she has.
Thank you. He has a WONDERFUL Father who has set a GREAT example.
I'm getting ready to cut my hair down and start over. You are beautiful and look fabulous God bless.
Wow, this was soooo touching because I shaved my hair when we first had to stay in!
Your hair grew sooo fast! Beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing all your secrets.
Tell your mom she did an excellent job in rearing you!
I just stumbled upon your video while looking up vids. I just wanted to tell you to stay encouraged. It's great to have a support team. I think you're son was the best support team you could ever ask for all by himself. What a sweet child. I also shaved my head some years back...wanna say like 2014 or 15ish. I don't remember. I try not to think about it. lol. Yeah, I was all Private Ryan. I didn't care, hair grows back...usually. Some sample product I got from a beauty supply store burned the hell outta my scalp at my crown & broke my hair there. My scalp was actually red & my hair was not dyed. So, I shaved it. I figured it was the best way to treat my heal/treat my scalp, my hair & it was best for me. My hair was fairly long when I did it but oh well. I wore quick weaves usually but kept my hair moisturized...I babied it really. When it got to the point yours was in 2017, mine was mad curly/wavy all over which was only at my roots prior to the shave. My hair now as of Feb. 2020 is a little passed my shoulder but healthier than it has ever been. I used no heat & no perms the entire time which was the point. My hair needed a fresh start. When I started getting a lot of compliments on my real hair, it gave me the reassurance I needed that I made a good decision & so did you.
(I know I wrote a lot but we sistas need to do better at keeping each other uplifted in general...So, it was worth me taking the time to keep you encouraged & other women that also shaved their hair. One luv)
What a beautiful post. I'm so grateful you wrote this and yes us sisters have to letgo each other lifted. I appreciate you!
Lol! I shaved all my hair off in Jan. 2019. Now, I’m transitioning into my second set of dreadlocks. WTG!
Your locs will be lovely! Congrats on your new beginning!
I've just shaved my head completely bald, literally an hour ago. I'm now on youtube looking for inspirations on my bald hair journey. I'd rock it but my head shape isn't nice and round. I'm thinking of using Jamaican castor oil for my hair growth. Could you give me some tips on what you used to help promote your hair growth?
Congratulations! I'm sure you are so BEAUTIFUL! Here's my Natural Hair Journey playlist bit.ly/2GdjRZV that can be further inspiration for you. Keep me updated on your process.
@@TieeshaEssex OMG! 😍 thankyou for replying super fast! And thank you for the playlist, I'm definitely gonna keep you updated.🤗
@@queenerepia update!!!!! I'm scared to Big Chop!
@@queenerepia Thank you and it's ok! I know you're super busy being freaking beautiful and awesome! Thank you for replying. I'm considering doing the big chop because my hair is...well we'd have to communicate privately but I'm just so scared of the journey!
Me right now I went bald two days ago
Really great growth for one year!! TFS!!
Thank you!
I just did the big chop, the reason why I shaved my head is because I want my hair to grow back even. I like this video, you have amazing progress.
This is me now 😂 I just shaved my head a couple days ok . I be scared my wig gone fly off since I’m bald 😂😂😂
Did mine a few days ago too 😍😍 Felt so vulnerable as she said in her video. I don't regret it 💖 God bless you on your (hair) journey 🙏🏽
Love this! Just did the big chop last night ❤️ very inspirational
sometimes I wish I could have the guts to do something so beautiful like this. my hair is breaking off a lot especially the back. I am trying to transition from relaxed to natural hair. I don't want anymore. I want healthy growing hair. you look so beautiful. congrats and your son is so handsome!!y'all are awesome!
Thank you for your beautiful comment. I was transitioning, but I got sick and tired of being sick and tired. I was wasting time and money trying to save damaged hair. That'd when I realized IT'S JUST HAIR. We shed strands daily, peel off nails just to have it grow back with little effort from me.
You will be beautiful regardless, but do what your inner Goddess calls you to do💜
Tieesha Essex thanks Tieesha! I truly appreciate it!! your right hair is just hair! it'll grow back. going on this beautiful journey with you. your such a wonderful woman! thanks for getting back to me!

Tieesha Essex Yes girl!! I definitely will!! you seem so down to earth and your son and you have such a great bond. that's important. I have a son as well he's almost five and I want to continue to have that strong mom and son relationship.

I as a so called Black man was inspired by the different looks I see on a so called Black women and I highly respected my flesh and blood the Queens of this Earth and I love to see natural hair on a so called Black woman and if you wear a wig I am all right with it as well. I know that so called Black women are not appreciated in this country but I appreciate every so called Black woman and I am in with Black women who are created in God's image and his likeness.

I appreciate you!
As long as I have breath in my body I will always love, protect, cherish, respect the beautiful melanin Queens of this earth. It doesn't matter how melanin Queens treat me it does matter how I treat them and may God bless you Melanin Black Queens forever. September 20, 2019
March 2014, I shaved all of that poison of off my head. I cannot tell you how good I felt afterwards and never looked back. I found out then that my hair loves Cantu Shea Butter so that is all I have ever used. I have a huge beautiful Afro now and damn proud of it. When you comb through it, you can hear the electricity flowing through it. Our hair is the most powerful on the planet. It defies gravity that is why it stands up while others are just down and limp, as you all notice.
What a perfect little baby...he looks just like his mum
You have a very nice energy it is pleasant to hear you relating your transition
Awwwww, I love this video. Your son will know how to step out of his comfort zone and give his significant other what she needs. Love, comfort, and inspiration.
Thank you so much for this. I'm so honored to be his Mommy. We're raising him to be a great man to his community and family (just like his father)
Such beautiful healthy hair sis, love it!🌹
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I've been trying to get up the courage to shave my hair as well and your story really helped with my confidence. I also like the idea of wigs still being an option. Often times I forget that if I don't like it I can still revert back to long hair! (lol) But thank you again for sharing your journey with the world. Just know it was not in vain.
P.S. I'm a Cincinnati Girl too!!! 😊💪❤
You did a good job of taking care of your hair .and u was also honest to .love ur video
Thank you so much. Be sure to check out my 2nd year video.
Your video is very encouraging, I’m literally going through the same exact process with my hair now going on 2 weeks
I just did the big chop. My babes did it for me. Your so beautiful an Inspiration, thank you!
Congratulations BEAUTIFUL!! Keep me updated on your progress! Definitely keep a journal of this amazing journey
Your video is inspiring me to shave my head in January. Lace frontal is have brought out my edge really bad. So I'm really learning towards starting over ...and get my hair healthy again
I love that you enjoyed the process and went thru personal development. I couldn't help but notice your preauricular pits on your ears. I have them too. Only 1% of the population can claim this. U are beautiful and officially special.
Thanks for sharing! I just had to shave my head after a REALLY bad relaxer. This gives me soooo much hope..
Thank you for watching. You are beautiful and have been since day 1. Don't deprive us of your natural beauty. WE ADORE YOU!
I love every minute of it
I adore you, Thank You for Gracing my Existence ♥️
😂😂😂 you are too funny!! Great video and gorgeous hair honey!!
Thank you beautiful💜
Wow. If i ask someone if they’re wearing a wig that’s usually because it’s cute and I want one for myself. Lol. Beautiful story
Your funny...in a good way...love your light hearted spirit.
Thank you!
Tieesha Essex your welcome:)
And you look absolutely beautiful with and without hair. You go girl. Awesome son😁🥰
Thank you Destiny! I'll give him a big hug for you. 💜
