- IT. HAD. TO GO.
I couldn't stand to look at that color damaged mess on my head any longer. It had to be done. To all my relaxed girls out there, #TeamRelaxed forever! But stay away from COLOR! Let me be an example.
Very excited to embark on this journey as I have been relaxed since I was 6 years old so I never got a chance to experience my natural tresses. I'm already super amazed! Thanks for tagging along, guys!

I can't lie, I miss my hair like crazy butttttttt I'm trusting the growth process. I'm actually excited to see what my natural hair will look like. Relaxed sisters, please don't hate me! 😭 If I could've stayed relaxed, I would have. But regardless, I'll ALWAYS be an advocate for HEALTHY hair of all types. Thanks for riding on this journey with me! 😘
ESSNTL it will really grow if you wear braids and use "Wild Growth" oil. Your hair will definitely grow thicker.
ESSNTL so are ypu not going back eventually? Or team natural all the way?
ESSNTL you made the right choice dear. It will grow back better and stronger.
ESSNTL beautifully said.
Torie Anderson is right! That growth oil is the TRUTH!!!
I’m kinda sad coz there’s not that many relaxed women on UA-cam I can learn from. But this was needed and your hair will be great!!❤️❤️❤️
Thabani im also sad :(
Thabani yeah, you're so right. She's cute AF though with short natural hair.
Your relaxed hair gave me life because I'm relaxed as well. But the change was needed. Good luck on your healthy natural hair journey. I'm already loving it ☺☺😘
Yes it was needed, I would have done the same. That color really damaged your hair from roots to ends. No sense in relaxing damaged hair and trying to hold on to it. Now you can start fresh, it will flourish, have a great journey 😘
😢You were my relax hair shero.
Glad to see you back and happy with your hair. 2 out of 3 are natural- ok stop right there!!😊 I love my natural hair sisters but someone has to represent for the "4evah relaxed chic"😘
Luv yall!!
I really dislike the fact that people in the comments wanted you to hold onto broken off ass hair
OKAY! Straight delusional. Like did you not see that damage?! 🙄
Some of these comments are weird, everything happens for a reason the setback gave birth to a new beginning with her hair whether she chooses to relax or remain natural. It's her choice. Let her be natural for awhile enjoy it, play around with it and learn to love both. I'm relaxed but I love watching all types of hair videos. I'm happy for you and your choice and I wish u the best of luck on your new venture!!!❤️❤️❤️
Yes, yes, yes. Thank you ❤️
You're so right. I didn't like the comments that say "you're so brave." It's not bravery. It's self confidence. Some Black women don't look at themselves as less than just because they don't have long flowing locks. She's obviously comfortable in her own skin, something a lot of us can learn from her as Black women because we are fixated and obsessed with long hair and we don't feel beautiful without it so we do terrible things to our natural hair. But I don't like when people say that women with natural hair or women who big chop their hair are brave. It shouldn't take bravery to have that type of self-confidence. If anything, I admire her for her self-confidence. If you want all kinds of crazy colors in your hair, get extensions and leave all those crazy hair colors to the White girls. Because our hair is not made to take color. It's better that you accept your natural hair color because dying it is not worth it.
He should be sued 😒
Indeed because as a professional hair stylist I would NEVER put permanent color on relaxed hair!
People think only bleach damages.. and that is not true at all
Relaxed or not you are still beautiful! Thanks for sharing and hopefully it's all for the best.
Thank you! ❤️
YOOOO! While I have no doubt you’ll bounce back from this crazy af setback, I can’t help but think about how KolorKing (or whatever his name is) can really 👏🏾CATCH 👏🏾THESE👏🏾HANDS
Chileeeeeeeeeee... trust me, I'm still wooooosahhhh-ing 💆🏽
All i keep thinking about is the distribution of these hands!!
They say that Red and Black, and blonde permanent color area the most damaging!
I was sad at first. BUT it looks so cute & I'm so happy for you. Hair Journeys should be fun, experimental and inspiring. NO RULES ATTACHED! ❤
And we lose another 😥😢😭. So sorry about your setback but good luck on a new healthy hair/new you journey. And shame on that so called “professional colorist” if I ever saw him, hands and feet!
girl, why not just send a chair, too? He needs it all for what he did
Rnjones2011 AND ELBOWS
Dye will f*** your progress up - Relaxer + Dye will never work. Dye started breaking my hair, I had to buzz cut my hair two years ago, went natural for a year, then relaxed again. Now I'm relaxed and successfully retaining length. Never dying my hair again, I'm fine with my basic dark brown for life.
You are so right relaxer and color don't mix. Your hair will break and fall out. I am a stylist and tell this to my customers.
LolaW you're right
Yeah the stylist knew I was relaxed and I even asked him how long I should wait before relaxing again. His professionally licensed behind literally told me two weeks. That is grounds for suing. Also neverrrrrrrrrr dying again, relaxed or natural.
@@ESSNTL you should have went to a black professional or have gotten non permanent hair dye
skinnypeaches he was black, girl. Thats why I trusted him.
Congratulations on your new journey hope it's a successful one !
One relaxed girl standin 😭😨
Lol but boo you look QT❤️😍
I actually like your hair. It's so cute!! If my hair ever gets to the point of damaged beyond return I will do the same thing❤️
I was sad too see it go but u can go back to relaxers once its grown out or u ca n enjoy growing natural hair both can be hard if u want beautiful healthy hair! God bless u on your journey
You look Beautiful!! Love your natural can't wait to see your new hair journey!!
You have no idea how pissed OFF this made me!!! To all you stylist/ colorist this is why patrons are skeptical to get their hair done and would rather be "kitchen beautician."
I'll never go to a stylist ever again. No one knows your hair better than you. Lesson defffffffinitely learned.
You can't blame the stylist. I always tell my clients, relaxer and color don't mix. I keep it honest.
Girl you're implying that all stylists are the same. You keep it honest and that's great for you. Try influencing your fellow stylist friends. This man literally told me he didn't use any bleach and I could relax it in two weeks. I went against my better judgement and trusted "the professional".
Bleach and Developer are not the same thing. Bleach is used to lighten hair in levels. When you use bleach this is the harshest thing you can put on the hair. When you see people with pink, blue and any other color a bleach is used to lighten and this is very bad for the hair. Typically, hair dye consists of two parts - a creme developer and a color packet. The developer bonds with the pigments in the color packet, making the hair dye permanent. Developer is available in both permanent and semi-permanent options and can be mixed with bleach to lighten hair.
After watching this i am ready to cut my damaged relaxed hair. I am team relaxed too. But my breakage has gotten extreme and i feel silly having this struggle hair on display
Do it, sis! At the end of the day, its all about HEALTH!
Cut it. Start over.
Me too! I cut the back of my hair off already and I can't wait to do the rest. I'm tired of trying to PROVE to people that my hair is long it's about health at the end of the day! CUT IT GIRL! GET SCISSOR HAPPY!
U will be surprised how relaxing it feels
Yes :) it does feel good. I've been doing mini chops, and leaving just enough to out in a small ponytail. but the real chop i need will leave me with no more than four inches on the top of my head. But after all your comments I'm ready for that
I miss your relaxed hair but excited to see your new journey!
Kudos gal! You already had a healthy hair so it will surely grow back more healthier and longer
Man this makes me so sad I loveddd your hair
I went through the same thing you did 4 years ago. I wore a lot of weaves and wigs and I still do. I started to take the hair gummies from nature's bounty about 3 years ago. They help my hair grow soo much. I have mid back length healthy natural hair now.
Tearmee Hubbard do they grow your body hair too?
You look beautiful! I have recently gone back to relaxers after 6 years being natural. You were the first relaxed UA-camr that helped me feel better and confident I can maintain healthy relaxed hair. Trust the process, being natural is an amazing experience. Excited about your journey, be blessed!
I'm so happy I was able to help you! Thank you so much for watching!
I'm starting to think color is the devil! If I want color I'm just getting a wig or clip ins. I just can't take the risk!
Omg Aleah. We'll support you through this setback. Your relaxed hair gave me life 😘 and your natural hair is gonna continue that. #healthyhairjourney
gosh, i LOVE this. you’re taking charge of your hair and your body and your entire life in general. congratulations, i can’t see where this journey takes you😊
I'm so sad to see you go but I knew it was coming! I'll still be following the journey and looking forward to your growth with your natural hair. You've got such a cute face so you still poppin with your TWA!
ORS hair mayo has really helped my hair stay strong.
Oh yes, it's still my staple!
Super gorgeous. I was nervous watching the cut at first but the end product is amazing. I can already see this time next year your hair will be huge
I'm excited for your new hair journey! We've all been where you are relaxed and natural. And to be honest we'll be there again 😔. I'm excited for the new things you'll learn about your hair and what you share with us about it. It's like a new relationship there will be bad days but great days as well. And I saw your last video that wig you had looked exactly like your relaxed hair so if your missing it just pop that on! Wigs are life! Hair can be so much fun! You just need to be around people that will always remind you of that and you'll be good!
Yessssss, that's exactly how I feel! It will grow back. And our hair is so versatile, we can do anything with it. I'll be playing with all of these protective styles while its growing back lol
As long as you moisturize daily from here on out, your hair will grow back in no time and you should be shoulder length by this time next year. That KolorKing stylist deserves to have his reputation destroyed for what hes done. His advice was terrible and his behavior after you confronted him was even worse. You don't need to worry though. Karma never loses anyone's address.
Seems like coloring can be more dangerous than relaxing🤔 Even some natural hair gurus had extensive damage to their hair after coloring...
So how to dye grey hair on relaxed hair?
Almost cried watching her chop that with a smile on her face. Ur hair doesn't define who u are and it's so beautiful that u see that.
When my hair was relaxed, I used to watch your videos and you motivated me to maintain healthy relaxed hair BUT my hairstylist -like yours- gave me bad advice and when I relaxed my hair for the last time my hair began to fall off by the clumps and in May 2017, I did the big chop and it wasn't until just now I remebered this channel and here I am seeing you getting a big chop. I wish you all the best and I know you will take great care of your natural hair and you will love it. Believe me you will. Keep updating us on your journey.
I'm sorry that happened to you! The color was gorgeous, I wonder what the issue was? The great thing about hair is that it grows back so no big deal. So excited to see more growth on this adventure!
Your TWA is so cute! 😍 I’ve always loved your hair but I think you’ll enjoy this natural wave for a while. You don’t need any tips because you already have the routine down pat-wash, condition, deep condition! I went cut off my relaxed ends right before I came to came to Clemson and it’s been flourishing ever since! Your hair is gonna grow out quick and if you remain natural once it gets longer, I can’t wait to see what styles you do! Good luck on your new hair journey!
Ahhhh, I hope it does! Thanks so much, girl! ❤️
Your cut looks so beautiful!!!! I transitioned and then big chopped. I was so excited to see what my hair actually could do and looked liked,I've been relaxed since the age of 5 so I've never seen my "hair". It was one of the best things I did for myself was cut it,relaxers needed to go anyway due to what they were doing to my hair on top of having thyroid issues. We are all beautiful no matter if we choose to relax or not💜😘
Welcome to the natural community girl. I never went through damage with my relaxed hair. However, I never wanted it relaxed when I was younger, but it was for my stepmother that had nothing but boys and didn't even deal or knew how to deal with her own hair. So my aunt permed it for her. I remembered my hair being so long and big, and my hair was long and thick while being relaxed, but just didn't have the same body as my natural tresses obviously. So cutting it bit by bit as it grew out was what I had my aunt do for me. And buried under weaves I never used to get, lol. So that was a new world in itself because I all I had to do was roll out of bed and brush the weave down and I was good to go. It was like I blinked, and suddenly there was no more relaxed hair. I am now two years natural, and the growth is insane, the thickness is insane. I have high-density hair(there is no seeing my scalp unless I part it, and that is a fight in itself), thick and fine strands, and low porosity. And a mixer of type 3 curls.
You are newly natural, and therefore, your hair is still discovering itself. Right now, it looks to be 3c in the front with a mix of 4a. But I can't truly be sure of that because of the length and the fact that as it grows out, the texture can change. But the way those curls are sitting in the front, I say 3c as of right now. The back looks to be in the 4 range. Beautiful, beautiful hair is healthy hair. Can't wait for you to rock a big fro. And if you find out being natural just isn't for you, don't feel guilty, it doesn't mean you love yourself any less. People love what they love. There is no crime to it. Have a blessed journey girl. 🤗🙏🏾
Girl, this was so helpful! Thank you for this. Yes, I'm really curious what my hair type is. I figure it'll change more and more as my hair grows out. I am so shocked at how thick its coming in already. Thank you so much for your support! When I get a little more length I'm a find you so you can tell me what my hair type is! lol
DAMN!!! I know the feeling. I had to do the big chop last May 2016. My hair grew back thicker and stronger, but natural was not for me. I relaxed it September 2017 and I love it and it's still healthy. Your still beautiful. Good luck on your new journey.
You didn't let us down. It's just hair, do what's best for you! I'm relaxed but will still follow you. You have great tips that all hair types can benefit from 👌🏾👋🏾
U are Soo sensible and take care of ur hair and do anything that's best for it.thats y I love u ,💜nobody else would be as brave to do this. I hope the journey goes well. Bless u
My girls have been natural for 7 years and 4 of the five are doing locs. I’m amazed and proud at the care they take in their hair. I’m relaxed and my hair used to be unhealthy but I too take care of it now and it’s grown and growing. I will eventually go natural because I will be moving to a city that’s near the ocean and everyone gets into a pool. I will be able to maintain natural hair better in this type of environment. I will be ok with the change too
Your bravery is beautiful! this is what we call a big chop! some chics cut off the rest of their permed and be like "Hey guys look at my big chop!!!" ...uh no. your hair is soo cute! itll be back down your back in no time!
It’s your hair and you’re able to do whatever you want ! I’m in the process of transitioning as well #teamrelaxed always ! Cannot wait to see your process ✨
I'm grieving for that beautiful head of hair. It was so full and healthy but you made the right choice cutting it.
Honey your hair is beautiful no matter what you chose to do. Getting to know you natural texture is always good thing.
I'm sorry you had to go through that, the same happened to me years back and now I trust no dyes. It'll grow back and I'm excited to see your new hair journey as a natural so definitely staying subscribed. Onwards and upwards 💃🏾
Relaxed or natural you are stunning and have such a positive light! Thank-you for sharing your journey with us! :)
you are brave and beautiful tfs ❤❤❤
RIP to your damaged colored relaxed hair. You're a brave beautiful lady. Thanks for the update and for showing what my future hair may look like. ✌🏽🌹
It's so beautiful!!! You're beautiful!!! ❤️❤️
Now that you are natural do not, I repeat, DO NOT, go to a "stylist"....for nothing. I have been natural 9 years. Don't go, I am practically like begging you. You do not need a stylist to grow out long natural hair. Don't do it.
Girllllllll never again!
U r soo pretty,u inspire me a lot.THANKS for being a strong person.
I still feel super bad cause of how beautiful your hair used to be when relaxed, love it so much and still inspires me so so so much, big thank you :)
yasssssss finally someone i can finally relate too im going natural as we speak!!!!!!!! you can do it girl.
Don't worry you made the right choice you hair is thick and your hairline is great! Yout hair will grow and be even better than before!!
Personally I don’t feel let down at all! It’s your life, your hair and you had to do what would best benefit you! I’ll still be here. Wishing you happy and healthy hair!!! ❤️
Omg, say it ain’t so. Ahhhh, I can’t believe you chopped it all off, but I understand it is for the best. All the best on your natural hair journey. I moved to China and I can already see I have to go natural. Cant wait to see those natural hair journey videos.
You didn't let us down at all! Your hair looks beautiful and I'm so happy for you!
It's so crazy and ironic that this happening! I started watching this channel because I was relaxed and you were relaxed and had beautiful hair! Then I decided to transition to natural around the time you colored your hair and I was planning to cut my relaxed hair off next month. Also almost two moths ago I decided to be a vegetarian! Last but not least... My name is Aliyah too! So all in all I think it was meant for me to follow you and be on this journey with you. May your hair flourish beautifully!
My big chop/shaved head date was March 26, 2017 after being relaxed from childhood. I found out I have 3c/4a medium porosity hair with fine strands. And I love it!
I’m so sorry that this happened to you. But I’m happy that you’re embracing being natural, your hair looks bomb af 😍
I'm going to keep supporting you even if you don't ever relax your hair again!! I completely understand why you had to do a big chop. This is your hair journey and you look so pretty even on your Instagram picture!! I'm proud that you are involving us in your journey and keep bringing videos so I can continue to learn!!
Glad you made the big chop. On to healthier, bountiful, luscious hair! Lesson learned.
I don’t even know you, this is my first time on your channel and I literally want to cry seeing you go through this. Omgoodness!This is just heart breaking. Sometimes I wonder if some hair stylist are jealous of people with long beautiful hair like yours. No good will follow the person that did this to your hair. This journey is a testimony, just how you had to cut off your hair to get it to grow is how we have to cut people out of our lives in order to grow and be the best we can be. What the devil meant for bad trust and believe God meant it for your good!
I love you!!! You're awesome! Let Go and let God!!! New season! New beginnings !!! Keep moving forward !!
You look BEAUTIFUL with your natural hair!!!
Can't wait for the hair tutorial and styles!!!!!!!
#natural
#beautiful
I was following this page because I thought I finally found someone who I could follow for relaxed hair advice......oh well things happen for a reason. All the best!
I have been a follower of you.Your advice for having long but most of all healthy hair have been very helpful. I feel bad for what happened to you.I wish you all the best as you continue on your healthy but natural journey.:)
Sorry about your process but you're right everything does happen for a reason. I know none of your loyal relaxed girls are mad. I'm happy for you. Enjoy your new journey!
I love the big chop !! Also the relaxed length was goals. At the end of the day hair health matters more then hair length though . I can't wait to see your hair flourish girl!! Yess 😍😍
Ohhhh my gosh!! I LOVE this video so much!! All the best on ur journey :)
Oh no... all my relaxed people I follow are going natural! You look beautiful and you know what to do to return to healthy hair. :)
I'm so happy to see you smiling so big! Love your positivity. Continuing to pray for you! xx
Hair was gorgeous. Simply gorgeous!
I'm glad you're back. Am going to miss the long perm hair but I will be fine. Cause I'm not a natural lady. But good luck with everything God is good.
Change is definitely good you’ve helped me a lot when it comes to growing my relaxed hair all your tips helped me grown an inch and 3/4 in a month your story is really inspiring let go and give I’m excited to see your progress ❤️
You are so so amazing!!!! I'm so so proud of you!!!! And you didn't let anyone down!!! Keep doing "you"- you look so pretty and I can t wait to see your next video!!! It is going to grow time!!!! Stay strong girl!!!! Beautiful spirit!!!!
Girl, you are absolutely STUNNING!!!❤️❤️❤️ relaxed or natural who cares?!😩 continue to do you, boo!! I can't WAIT to see the rest of your journey 😘😘❤️
Yes pls could you do a vid about the differences between natural & relaxed and how you care for it now. I also just went natural. 💛
Can't wait to see your journey!! I happen to be transitioning right now & I can def relate to what you've been going through.. def gonna be rocking with you and this new natural wave
I am grateful you shared your journey, i was just about to put some color on my hair, in which is not in the best condition as of now. After seeing your video I will just work on improving my hairs condition and maybe go back natural
So sorry about your bad hair experience.(I suffered a bad one too, about 2 years ago-- jacked up cut and color rinse.) I am glad you have such a great, positive attitude about it. I was LIVID!😬. Your hair will be beautiful, still!💜 Congratulations on your new life journeys! Change can be a definite Blessing!
I just about to go and buy hair color and then this popped up. Thank u
It's cool that you could see exactly where to cut! What a blessing frfr❤❤❤
Omg, I just found your account this week and I was finding so much hope with your relaxed Hair. I hate that this happened to you but like everyone has said- it will grow back. You’ve done it before, which means you can do it again. And with how you care for your hair, your length will be back soon. ❤️ Your natural curls though are LEGIT gorgeous! ❤️❤️❤️
The color was really nice but I understand. Damaged hair always has to go. I BC myself 2 weeks ago and it was the best thing ever. Good luck on ur new hair journey. It looks great.
Watching those first few cuts were so freeing!
Good job, it's gonna bounce back. See now you are gonna love your natural hair. you said you like volume, and your hair is pretty thick, so imagine it natural. the volume! It's gonna be a little work, but so worth it when your hair looks amazing!
I believe shorter healthy hair looks better than long damaged hair. Many women hang on to their long damaged hair thinking they will get better. Your shorter hair is beautiful and looks so healthy and shiny. I believe you took the right decision, hang in there don't give up!💪💪💪
Omg, I was so sad that I couldn't watch any relaxed hair videos from you because I'm transitioning but now I saw this randomly and now I'm soooooo happy girl you slaying💙
You will be surprised at your natural hair growing back so fast and healthy. But girl, how come nobody stopped you from making that crazy move to color your hair? Damn!
I held my breathe with every snip. My heart couldn't take it. I know it's for the best. You are gorgeous with or without hair.
wow I can understand the chop. it'll grow back in no time. I'm looking forward to more hair growth videos
For some odd strange reason, I loveeee this look on you lol. you look good girl!
😮 I would have cried! But I know your hair will grow back longer and remember healthy hair is all that matters!
Can't wait to follow you on your new journey.
Health before length, good on you for doing what's best for you and your hair. I would love to see the differences in taking care of relaxed hair vs natural hair.
I honestly don't think the coloring damage is your fault. You made it clear to the stylist that you planned on relaxing your hair again in the future, and he didn't take that seriously.
