This video was perfect timing! I’m transitioning, and slowlyyyy cutting my chemical ends. My left side is wayyy damaged than my right side and I don’t want to lose my length so much. And I don’t want my hair to be uneven. That’s what stoping me from going completely natural. I can’t wait till I have the courage to end my transitioning process.
I definitely understand being nervous about giving up that length you're used to - I planned to transition for 2 years just so I didn't have to give it up, but ended up chopping at 9 months because it was too much for me to handle lol. Nothing wrong with taking your time with transitioning though - you kinda get to have your cake and eat it too as far as length is concerned! One potentially motivating thing I can say though is you may be surprised at how fast your new growth actually grows in once you do free it of your relaxed ends. Best of luck
@@CollegeCurls I'm at 9 months rn. I do protective styles to avoid manipulation but my hair gets tangled a lot. I can't wait to cut it off.
Because of the corona virus quarantine I had to do my own hair and started researching the best products to use on my hair. Eventually, I realized that I was transitioning to natural whether I wanted to or not. There was no way I was going to try to relax my own hair. Over time, I realized I liked the feel of my new growth and started to cater to it. I became more confident in doing my own hair, trying different things, and then fell in love with the idea of going natural. I received more complements after doing my own hair, than I'd received after salon visits. Re-opening hair salons has really put me at a crossroads. I did accept the appointment from my stylist, but I told her that I didn't want my hair relaxed. So, I guess I'm on this journey.
Love this story and how something as beautiful as embracing your curls came from the seemingly dark situation of the quarantine ! What an inspiration! 💕 And yes, you are in this journey - you got this! And you can always start going to natural hair salons if you want that pampered feel and don’t want to do your hair all the time ☺️
I'm so happy I found your channel
Soooo cuteeeeeee. This video made me emotional and made me shed happy tears. I trust the journey. I never meant to straighten my hair, it was the stylist that brainwashed me into thinking that the kerashine treatment would help me get rid of the frizz but instead it straightened my hair. I almost have a pixie cut, close to boy cut, And I Cant wait to see my curly hair growing out,
I'm so glad I found your channel! There's so many things people don't tell you about natural hair that you just have to learn along the way. It's good to have videos like yours that are informative, cute, and well made.
Thank you so much for your kind words and support! 😊💕 Your comment let’s me know that everything I was trying to accomplish with these videos are working ☺️
I just did my last chop a few days ago and my curls are beautiful and I'm really happy is been a long journey my family are mad at me bc i cut my hair and stuf but here i am akjeksjs
As long as your happy with your head, that’s all that matters! Congrats on being newly natural! 🥳🎉
I've been holding back cuz I'm not sure about how I'll look after
And I wanna transition then do a big chop
I've been really excited but at the same time worried about how it'll turn out
Valid reasons to be concerned for sure. I do recommend transitioning before big chopping since you are a little anxious about how you’ll look - you’ll at least be working with a few cute inches that way once you chop and it can help you get more comfortable with the idea of chopping when you’re ready. It’s completely normal to be excited and anxious, shows you’re taking it serious. You got this 💕
@@CollegeCurls thank you!!
I started my journey in high school. My hair was badly heat damaged but I started doing more protein treatments and deep conditioning. I still wore weave and twist . It took me 3 or 4 years to start wearing my natural hair outside because I was afraid of my family and society talking mess about me; but then I was in a country with no weave and my twist had gotten old and decided to just wear my hair and I never looked back ❤️
Wow this really perfect timing i was just thinking about clipping the rest
Go for it! You got this! 😉
after 15 years of weaves, wigs and hair and scalp damage, my decision to go natural came out of the blue. The weaves and left my hair brittle and broken off and my edges were damaged so bad that a weave could no longer cover them. So I went to wigs. By this time I had combpeltely given up on my hair. My scalp was so flaky and crusted that it would bleed, ugh! Fearing a scalp infection, I committed myself to washing my hair at least once a week and oiling my scalp. I would braid my hair into one small plat in the back and slap my wig on. After two years, I began to notice that I had to take extra care to make sure that my (now) ponytail did not hang out from my wig. Though my hair was still thin and my edges were still in poor condition, I began to research natural hair growth methods to help my hair. I started using rice water, Aloe and castor oil. In 4 months my hair was past my shoulder blades (12 inches)! Because of all the earlier breakage and damage, I would just trim the ends. No big chop.
So here is the kicker! My goal was to go back to a relaxer! Why? This is truly where my hair damage all started. I then came to You Tube to learn about the natural hair movement and I experienced ALL 5 of the steps you mentioned! I have 3C-4A type thin hair. My first try at a wash and go was a huge success. I LOVE MY CURLS!!
Allll the signs my new past time is watching natural hair journey videos. I want to transition and get as much hair as I can so I can do box braids
Before I went natural, I used to do the SAMEEE THING lol. Swear I was OBSESSED with natural hair videos. Tranisitioning and protective styles are perfect for growing your hair out. Best of luck to you!
I really wanna do this but i also want fast results that's the problem
Tienes tanto talento. Sigue así. Bendiciones
Muchas gracias para tus palabras amables y todo el apoyo! Voy a continuar haciendo contenido para que disfrutes! Bendiciones a ti tambien !
My hair has always been long, I'm just use to a perm. I thought about going natural in 2017. I was half natural 6 months I thought omg I can't so I relaxed it now I'm almost 40 I'm ready to see my natural hair I been half natural almost 6 months again I'm happy with it. Its time for me to see the curls God has blessed me with. 💪🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for sharing, I love your journey! No matter the age, going natural is SO empowering! My well wishes are with you throughout this process, you got this! :)
The thing that is holding me back, is that I'm kind of scared how long will it take to my hair to grow... I'm going to 7th grade this summer and I'm kind of scared of it and what people will think. I know that I should not care, but it's hard.
That makes perfect sense and it’s normal to care what people think (a little secret: everyone pretty much does, they just act like they don’t). Transitioning is a great option for you though if you don’t want to immediately chop AND you can grow your hair out in the process. For more info, watch this great video all about it: ua-cam.com/video/_a8et-dpFK8/v-deo.html 💕
I love this channel
New subby... This is exactly how I felt.... so I just went ahead and do it.

Am so excited 😆 I did the big chop like a year ago my husband was shock lol 😝 especially since he’s Asian/ Mexican he love my relax hair but now he is actually looking forward to my new look 👀 I just got my first two strand twist am super excited 😆 because I know this experience will be awesome 👏 Just found you. New subscriber 😄😄😄
Thank you so much for your support! 😊 & I’m so happy to hear that not only will you be starting another beautiful natural hair journey, but you have a loving husband that supports you through it! 🥰💕 Best of luck on your second go round!
CollegeCurls thanks 💕💕💕
What an adorable video! I just started my natural hair journey with new products all over my bathroom sink...lol..of course researching on youtube and came across your videos. This is going to be fun! Our hair is so unique to who we are. Thanks again, I'm inspired. Keep going!
Thank you for your support - I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! Congrats on the start of your natural hair journey, I’m honored that you’ve chosen my videos to help you in the process ☺️💕 Best of luck to you!
I’m just curious to see what my hair looks like in its unprocessed state since I’ve been relaxing since I was around 9 years old. I’m undecided because I’m really attached and in love with my relaxed hair, the straight hair is something I’ve been use to so much of my life. So I’m scared of how I would look and also I can’t comb my hair in any of the natural styles. Also I just want to reach a place to go natural when the decision comes from my heart and not from any influence of me needing to prove my blackness or whatever but I want to do it because it’s just simply something that I want to do.
Omggg. Perfect timinggg
Hope that means you’ve went natural or will be going soon! 👀☺️💕
@@CollegeCurls already gone natural. 😄 And I'm loving it!
I'm going natrual because the past years I've had damaged hair and thinning edges so I said it's time to go natrual I'm tired of hurting my damaged hair.
AWESOME reason and for a right reason too! Your hair will grow in so much healthier, I know you'll love it! Wishing you all the best on this journey! :)
Great information & video. I’ve been natural for 6 months and I’m loving it 🥰. I was scared to do the big chop at first but was determined to do it. I think I have a handle on it now and I’ve been buying a lot of products but now find myself actually using natural things like rice water, onions, aloe vera, ginger etc. It’s actually cheap and works well. I don’t measure my hair but I know it’s been growing cuz I can put it in a high ponytail which at the beginning was impossible. Good luck to all on their journey! Be patient and dedicated. As well continue to watch amazing videos like this one 💓
Congrats to you and all the success you've had thus far! Perfect example of how when you focus on hair HEALTH the LENGTH will come after! Wishing you the best on the rest of your journey - thank you for all your support!
CollegeCurls Thank you for the kind reply 🥰 . Stay blessed
Another Adorable, Creative and Entertaining video. Kudos to the Artist.👍:) Ironically just as I was researching going natural CV Pandemic stay orders went in full effect. I had located a Stylist in Harlem that specializes in transitioning to NH and hair care. I was forced during this time to pre wash, cleanse, and treat. And my hair is loving it. My only challenge is a root touch-up, which I'm saving for the professionals, and honestly w/the health of it now. I may just leave them greys alone too.😉 Thanx College Curls Girl I am always inspired when I land here.👍💜
Thank you so much for the continued support and congrats on keeping to your efforts through all this craziness! Your curls will definitely thank you for it once you are able to go natural! Comments like this are inspirational to me and push me to keep creating content that inspires as well!
@@CollegeCurls You Bet!:) Stay Blessed.🙏💚
Going natural is such a struggle for me. My natural hair the length the texture it all just makes me so insecure. Other women look beautiful with their curls, I’m always in awe. But no matter what I do I hate how I look during this process, every day is a struggle. I know i don’t want to keep wearing protective styles because all I’m doing is masking my insecurities.
When I big chopped it wasn’t planned. I never thought about it. I was going though a lot in my life like my brother in law dying in the hospital. I just got up and wanted the weight of the world off me so I started to cut and cut. Now 2 years later I’m happier and have a huge fro now. It was soooo worth it.
I’m so sorry to hear about that with your brother - in - law. I can definitely understand wanting/needing a change to pick you up. Going natural can and is that change for a lot of people, and I’m glad it has worked out so well for you in the long run! 💕 So happy for you ☺️
I been showing all the signs 🥰🥰😝👀
What you bout to do then? 👀 lol
CollegeCurls am excited to dry new natural styles
the thing that’s holding me back is that my hair wouldn’t look how I would want it curly
I KNOW however your curls look, they will be BEAUTIFUL! You can always use different products, styles, and methods to get all sorts of curly results out of your hair. That's what's so great about being natural - the versatility! Don't let that small reason stop you from doing something so positive! :)
i'm just scared that my natural hair is short the only thing adding lenght was the relaxed part and what if it doesn't grow no matter what my hair was damaged at the begining of 2023 it was relaxed and comes out alot when i comb but i started doing everything i can to take care of it it's better now but it still won't grow idk why it isn't growing
My hair is heat damaged and relaxer damaged I never went natural and now my hair is damaged and short I’m ready to go natural I just don’t know how to take care of my hair I was raised in a White Household
I’m 4C low porosity hair. Is it okay to mist my hair nightly with water, aloe vera gel, peppermint oil, and vitamin e oil?
Great question and honestly it depends on your hair! If your feel it needs it then by all means do so, but from my own experience with my 4c low porosity hair I find that I tend to need something heavier - like a moisturizing cream - instead of a mist to keep my hair moisturized. Mists work great for me for a burst of moisture during the day though! Or even at night after my moisturizing routine just so I get some of the extra benefits it has to offer! :)
CollegeCurls I keep my hair and my daughters hair in twists since we’re in quarantine. I wash our hair weekly. Would doing the LCO method mid week be too much manipulation for our hair? We live in Las Vegas and it’s very dry here. I’m trying to figure out how to keep our hair moisturized without too much manipulation to our hair.
Nope, that shouldn’t be too much manipulation at all since you already are watchful of how much you’re handling it. And with the drier climate you have to deal with, it may just be the midweek moisture boost that you both need! If you need more information on either the LCO method, LOC method, or other great ways to moisturize, here’s a link to my playlist all about moisturizing: m.ua-cam.com/play/PL0wyl0fL24AHsVn-JHVntwVJl29R3N50H.html 😊💕
I'm just gonna transition for a while I'm about 3 inches and don't want to get scissor happy.
Great idea and makes perfect sense! When you know you’re ready, you’ll be happier (and have more new growth too!) ☺️💕
What's holding me back is what my family will say and think of me once I decide to transition
I had people say stuff to me but my husband was my support. Don’t worry what people say, you will be beautiful and happy. It’s all about you sis.
I know that can be tough to deal with and honestly, people are always going to have something to say regardless. Do what makes YOU happy! And once they start seeing those beautiful, healthy, growing curls they won’t have nothing to say then 😴 You got this! 💕
Exactly! What she said! 👆🏾👍🏾💕
@@CollegeCurls Thanks for the encouragement I'll try my best to see this through to the end🤗
Well I’m a boy and the only thing holding back from wanting to grow a fro is my parents 🤦🏾they think it’s unkept n all. Idk what to do to convince them
Well if you’re old enough to not have to put too much weight on their opinion then I say go for it! But if you’re not, I feel like the best way to convince them is to show them you’re serious about keeping it well groomed when you do grow it out - tell them about the research you’ve done, how you plan to take care of it, maybe even give them an idea of how long you want it to grow just so they can visualize it more and feel you actually intend to care for it properly. Best of luck! 💕
CollegeCurls thank you so much 🙏🏾 I will be looking forward to do so.
Yng Lowkey Try making a deal with them. Show how passionate you are! Good luck 😉
R J thank you 🙏🏾
Yng Lowkey Np 😉. My son has a fro and he does not comb/ pick it, no care at all and it drives me crazy! BUT he is 23 so I keep my mouth shut lol. Idk how old u are but just keep your hair kept and your parents will love it 😊
