    You look gorgeous! I know this was a difficult and challenging decision to have to go thru. I pray that this is the last big chop that you have to go thru again.
    Thank you for speaking out and being fearless in sharing your experience. I believe that everything happens for a reason and our paths were meant to cross to help each other learn grow and support each other. Seeing you cut your hair made me bite back tears because I know you did everything you could to avoid this. Sending all my love and positive thoughts your way as you rock this cut. You will be back to styling it up by the end of the year 😅

    This had all the makings of a cult. I was amazed so many women got swept up in it. Some women are still holding on to this method even as their hair is suffering.

    • @rosieamelia5955
      @rosieamelia5955  5 місяців тому +21

      Yes it’s still being pushed. I think they got leverage because of the pandemic. The hair industry is a billion dollars industry so there wanted their cut too.
      As I said before they were deceptive and they are greedy ‼️

      Girl when you look up the characteristics of a cult by Rick Ross of Cult Education Institute, Steve Eichel of the Cultic Studies Association and the America FBI...you start seeing too many characteristic traits of this BGC/CIK organisation!! Scary ASF. Here's a few:
      1.The group is closed, so in other words, although there may be outside followers, there's usually an inner circle that follows the leader without question, and that maintains a tremendous amount of secrecy." All the exclusive secret access that you have to pay for.
      2. "then once recruited will subject its members to an organized program of thought reform." If the method isn't working for you..then you are not ready to....WASH YOUR DAMN HAIR....lol! Brainwashing more like.
      3.Be wary of any leader who proclaims him or herself as having special powers or special insight. And, of course, divinity. Only special insight in how to do kinky hair that no other stylist or cosmetologist, cosmetic chemist or trichologist in the world has...
      4. No tolerance for questions or critical inquiry. Whelp.....
      Yeah I have trust issues....from the time I first went to a black stylist when I was 8! Now I get at least 10 opinions from 10 unconnected advisors/"experts"...on everything. lol! I've never been good at being a follower. might be because I'm neurodivergent.

    Rosie, I’m so sorry that you had to big chop your hair due to the BGC method. I know personally how hard you tried to salvage your hair but nothing could repair what happened to it.
    To me that method is the perfect storm because each component of it ends up severely damaging the hair.
    The fact that BGC’s No Oils & Butters method is still being promoted and marketed is just wild to me! No shade and just truthfully speaking, even the owner of BGC, her hair looks dry and damaged now!
    Anyway, you look absolutely gorgeous with your new haircut and I’m excited for your new healthy hair journey! 💖🥳

    Plain to see majority of these ladies were just sold off to the highest bidder, AG and innersense with zero recall or accountability when things went south...its still sad to see certain ladies fight tooth and nail for this method while their hair shows zero proof of progress and year after year they keep wearing a taper hoping for when it finally grows out😢
    "Oh but i don't care about length"... then why you keep doing a length comparison check everytime you get huh sis ?
    Length goals are OKAY and the way these women been gaslit to keep chopping off they hair when they secretly wish to grow it out.....😔

    Well this experience mirrors mine almost identically. With the 1 exception that I didn’t get any Cut It Kinky cuts. However, I did all the other things, weekly Washing, unnecessary clarifying, heavy Gels to elongate my girls, no leave ins (on occasion) & all the other things. My poor hair is a mess😢😢. I bet I have every type of split end on that chart😢 I know the big chop is my next step. Only thing is that I’m dealing with a rather large spot of hair loss, right in the front of my head…and with the length (even though it’s a ratty mess,) I’m able to disguise that issue. I’m so lost…and don’t know what to do. I dnt want to go bk under wigs, but I feel like I have no choice other than to shave it off and hide my imperfection under a wig until a new head of hair grows out. Also, I hate wigs 😭🤷🏽‍♀️! Thanks for sharing❤

      I have hair loss.....getting it check to see if it is CCCA. Hair loss runs in my family and both I and my sister have abnormal blood cells. I only wear wigs in winter. I wear hair pieces, clip-ins, half wigs, crochets. silk and satin scarves to hide the hair loss. I take the hair down and treat my problem areas and scalp every night. I put the extra hair in myself so I know it's not tight and I also know how to take it down. i once had a weave put in that was a nightmare to take down because the lady sewed up down and left and right and didn't follow a discernable pattern. That made me stop doing weaves too!! Please go to a trichologist and/or a dermatologist to get a proper diagnosis of the hair loss. My trichologists help me and within 4 weeks the hair loss has started to fill in again.

    Rosie, you have a beautiful face so that short style looks great on you. Not gonna lie, I was annoyed that you had to almost shave your head to get rid of damage.

    I hate that you went through all this. But I LOVE your new style. I went to a "curl specialist" and I tried a curly cut once and instantly regretted it.

    hugs girl. I'm sorry that you and Shelly went through this. The time, money, and energy you both put in did not warrant these damaged results. It was what made me go natural 15 years ago...I was done listening to black stylists. I listen to black trichologists, black chemists and non-black stylists. Lol! My Black trichologists are from Angola and travel between there and London to help African ancestry hair problems. Athough they do not use oils or butters raw, they always use leave-in conditioner and deep conditioner and while your hair and scalp is healing, they do not recommend stylers. So most of the time I style my hair with only a leave-in conditioner and I apply leave it every day as they recommended for me. I have 4c ultra-fine hair high porosity hair.

      Thank you, so funny enough my CIK stylist that adapted this method is also a trichologist.
      I heard that in Europe the standards are quite different when it comes to trichologist.
      My hair is so much happier with my new product choices .
      I also wanted to add that Shelly and I including most who were listening to these stylists would always bring up what we were experiencing but were gaslighted into thinking it was normal.
      Not gonna lie I don’t really trust stylists other than a few who I know are genuine.
      I am so hopefully 🙏🏾

      I am so scared that leaving some on the top might come back to bite me.
      I have a few events I have to attend and I don’t want to be bald headed. Once those events are over I might just shave the top. That’s if I see evidence of damage still remaining.

If all else fails I put my hair in a silk or satin scarf. Work doesn't complain because they already know I'm neurodivergent and my trichologist already medically diagnosed me to not have my scalp and hair exposed to the elements....ends burnt by the sun or flapping in the wind or freezing off.

    I also have been watching your videos on this damage and wanted to ask why is the hair not going back to being healthy after you switched back to your old routine with oils and deep conditioning frequently? Shouldn't that bring the moisture back into your hair if you deep condition weekly? I thought permanent damage to hair could only come from chemicals, heat, or colouring 🤔 do you think maybe doing all those bond treatments potentially gave you protein overload and put too much strength in your hair which is why It was so dry and rough and webbing?

      I only ask because I’m always curious about the few who say the method works for them.
