For anyone thinking of big chopping, based on my own experience, I recommend wetting the hair then using conditioner not just water or water mixed with conditioner. Don’t stretch the hair out when cutting and cut SMALL pieces or you WILL cut off more than necessary but at the same time not cut off enough and have to cut twice.
I just watched your video 3 weeks ago & did a big chop for the FIRST time ever! Ive been relaxed since i was a kid. Its growing on me, but i cant front...i still dont feel 100% confident even tho everyone says it looks good. Thanks so much for sharing this.
You're most welcome. I had the same situation. Relaxed since I was a little girl. I wanted to see what my hair looked like in an all-natural state. It was an adjustment but my hair grew like wild fire. I loved the TWA stage.
Hey there, here are a few of my favorite products when I was natural.. African Pride Olive Miracle 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner amzn.to/3xNEgl6 Wetline Xtreme Pro-Expert Styling Gel amzn.to/3WqBag0 Camille Rose Honey Hydrate amzn.to/4bU56pG
Hey Tayah! Thanks so much for rocking with me for so long. I honestly can't believe I went natural either tbh. Once I hit my 30's, I just felt a need to discover the "real" me. I'll be sure to keep you guys updated❤
Congratulations!!! Looks soooo lush and soft! It takes a min. to bring your mental image of yourself and your new physical image of yourself together,lol. At least that was my experience when I big chopped in 2017. Now the real journey,the fun part, begins! Discovering styles,playing with products as you discover what works FOR YOU! So excited for you🥳🥰✊🏾
Thank you so much love! And yass I'm so excited to experiment with products and styles to see what my hair likes and what looks best on me. I'm ready to learn the "real" me❤
Yes girl you have the perfect face for it!! I know about the knots. I had a quarter size knot in the the back of my head. I worked on it for 3 hours. I said forget it and the next day I cut it out! Your hair is beautiful...so thick!!!
Aww thank you Debra!! That's so sweet of you❤ And I'm glad that someone could relate to actually not being able to get the knots/dreads out. It was simply time to go lol.
👀Sparkle… Your hair is beautiful and matches your face so nicely. It will be grown backkk by March. I just love the thickness of it all. Congratulations on your new hair journey.💕💕💕
Hey girl, My hair looked the exact same way 8 years ago, My relaxed hair was locking up, on my birthday ugh. I got in the mirror and start cutting. My natural was only 3 1/2 inches long after the big chop, it took some getting use too. Now my hair 10 to 12 inches long and very healthy. I'm so proud of your courage. Educate yourself on caring for your hair type, that's about 4a to 4b Research, apply no heat or color, keep your hair and scalp moisturized! I wish you the best on your natural hair journey!🌟🙏🏽🦋
Yay, I was over it a 6 months post. The more you deep condition, the sooner your curls will pop. My hair was soooo DRY!!!!. I will send it to you on IG messenger. Yours look really good👍🏾
Yes! Congrats!! Your hair looks beautiful like that! Now you can wear your hair in a twa,twist,wash n go etc. Twa looks good on you now! Congrats again on your big chop! 😁😊
I salute you girl!!!! This is one of the best things you can do for your hair trust me, it's only up from here. Our hair needs to be babied, it's tiring sometimes but it's all worth it at the end. Never give up💓
I remember having my emotions everywhere, after having my hair damaged beyond my comprehension, by trained and untrained individuals, and going into a barber shop for the very first time in my life, and having to remove that scarf for the first major chop 🪓 ever almost 3 years later, best decision ever made. Im in protective styles now, and with zero fear. Thanks for sharing your journey ❤
I’ve been following you for a while now and always enjoyed your relax videos. It gave me hope. How ever I big chopped for the second time this past January at 3 months post and haven’t looked back since. Welcome to team natural. Twist, faux locks and braids have been my hairs best friend. Good luck on your journey.
Heyy TiAnn 👋🏾 I'm very honored that you have followed me during my relaxed hair journey and also now to my natural hair journey. Thank to for the warm welcome. I will definitely keep those hairstyles in mind. Thank you so much and I wish you a continued healthy hair journey🌱
Congratulations!! It's cute too. You have enough hair to grab and do some twists or still wear your braids if you like. Now you can just focus on growth. Looking forward to your future updates.
Thank you so much Ellis!! And yass that was the goal for me to grow enough hair to be able to style or put in a protective hairstyle so I'm excited about that. ❤ I'll be sure to keep you guys updated.
So thick and lush, strong and healthy!! Beautiful shrinkage too!! Clear sign of healthiness and strength!! Get ready cause it’s going to grow like crazy!!
I’m in my 7th month of transitioning, I don’t have as much spring back in some of my curls. I will be having my hair stylist cut mine when it’s time. I’m trying to last a year but it depends. You do a good job cutting, hair will be great. Thanks for the video.
The fact that this was the only growth you had after 9 months is crazy. It’s literally HELL transitioning after that 12 week mark and you went 36 weeks chileeeee. Ima gone and wait 1.5 years and master doing lace wigs so I’ll be ready to braid this down 😂
@@dawnaporter9932 right I’m approaching 9months, I’m ready for the chop, my curls are looking more defined but I don’t think they are ready, I do have less straight hair then I had in the 7month. I go to a salon and get protective styles, and I take a week or two break, before my next style. I am trying to last until spring 2025. Good luck.
Super excited for this new journey for you Miss Sparkle!!! You are blessed with gorgeous thick hair and it's gonna grow out beautifully! I like the short hair too though, you can rock a short cut! Congrats!!!
You did it! Thank you for sharing this hair journey with us! I definitely know that we were all looking forward to this particular hair chop video. I’m very excited as to where you’ll go from here! It’s also great that you have these videos to look back on during your hair journy’s! Girl! You rockin that fro!🙌🏾👍🏾🥰😘
Aww thank you so much LaTonya!! I'm very honored that some people decided to keep watching my journey after I announced that I would no longer be relaxing anymore. I'm excited for this new journey as well. I definitely have a lot to learn, but you know me, I learn thru just experimenting with my hair and I share the ups and downs with you guys along the way. Thank you soo much once again❤
Okay Sparkle you did it!! Now this is how you big chop folks🤗. Good luck with your new hair journey. I don't think you will regret it, because you're so kind and gentle to your hair. Looking great, I love it🥰
Your African roots called you back home! Your hair is absolutely stunning! Stand in your truth African Queen! From one black sistah to another, I'm so proud of you! 👸🏾🤎✊🏾
Aww thank you soo much Jackie. I can't believe I actually made it to this day after watching sooo many big chop videos over the years and also watching you big chop your hair❤
I also did this few years ago, I did a lot of cornrows, washed hair every 10 days with head&shoulder and wore headscarf, I really feel it helps speed up hair growth a little bit
I know many are still struggling with Babylon ways; so beautiful, health, powerful and rich. This blessed me 👏🏾😇 The royalty of YAH, Wow I hope others will truly see... Congrats & blessings
I’ve been watching you for soooooo long and I’m so happy for you & this journey. Also the teenyweenyafro is gorgeous on you. It fits your face . Hair just thick and gorgeous
Heyyy Jocoby! Thanks for chiming in with your comment. It really made me smile and I appreciate you for rocking with me for so long. I'm excited to continue to learn and grow from here❤❤
Hi Sparkle congrat on your big chop. I must said you done a great job on cutting✂️ your hair. really it becomes you. So now you are💯%natural with well condition hair.
Your hair grew soo much during that transition! Yass to the big chop and cheers to a healthy natural hair journey! All that thick hair . it looks good and the puff looks good also. My hair grows the same from the crown my hair is like the longest you did that like a G and here i was bout to pass out over my ends . lawd. Its different when you finally pick those scissors up and you not watching these youtube videos lol. But im so excited to follow you on this journey . -moemoe
Thank you Monaloc!! I'm super excited for this new journey and to learn so many things along the way. And you did an awesome job trimming your ends. You have alot of length so you know what your'e doing. Thanks so much for continuing to follow along with me during this new phase in my hair journey❤
you look so cute!!!! i’m trying to get he confidence to do this myself, and wow the finished look does make me feel a lil less uneasy about my own choo
Hey Sparkle, you look gorgeous!!!! You can wear long or short hairstyles. You have the face for it. I knew you would look great. Keep going strong!!! God bless you and stay encouraged. 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
You did exactly what I did. I don't know how people say that they transitioned from relaxed hair to natural hair because my hair would do what your hair did with the two textures! Good luck, I wish you much success in your natural hair journey!
Proud of you. Very brave and you just DID IT. Thank you for not being scared cause sooooo many folks are scared to cut. JUST DO IT. Yessssssss the journey begins. You got this.
I LOVE it!!! You took the big chop in stride. I was feeling a little trauma just watching you cut. Now get to playing in it & figuring out what you like & what your hair likes.
Lol thanks so much CSmith!! Yes, I have made my mind up mentally that it was simply time to chop. I'm so relieved to have done it now and gotten it over with. And yes you're right, now comes the fun part of figuring out what my hair likes/dislikes and experimenting❤
Hey girl!!! You did an amazing job cutting your hair! It looks good on you!! I know I'm not as far along as you, but I agree- it's the relax hair that tangles and mats up. What, if any, were the boys' reaction? I think a wash n go would be so pretty on you. Now I'm excited for your next video just so I can see more!!! Thank you for taking us along on your journey.
Heyy Leigh, thank you so much. And yass you are soo correct, it really wasn't the natural hair tangling, it was the relaxed hair all along. The boys were nonchalant with my new hair cut lol. They liked it though and said it looked nice. I'm gonna try my best to experiment with wash-n-go's, but it may take me a few times to get it right lol. Thank you so much for following along with my journey. I'm soooo excited❤
I love watching big chops video. Some times you need to start fresh. However I am transitioning my self. Didn’t do a big chop but I’m slowing cutting the relaxer off.
It’s so beautiful sis I’m so proud of you I’m gonna do my big chop tomorrow I’m really excited to finally see the real me under my natural hair I can’t believe I hated my hair so much I was always embarrassed by my hair also because I was the only black girl everywhere ( adopted) and kids at my school just hated my hair now I’m finally seeing the beauty of my natural hair and I regret it so bad that I didn’t see that earlier thank you girl for inspiring 💚👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Love love your cute fro too. Your beautiful face can rock any style. Looking forward to seeing your natural hair journey. Your hair is just so healthy.❤
Thank you so much Felicia. You were definitely a big inspiration in going natural. I remember when you used to always message me and plant seeds in my head of being natural and here I am. Thank you❤
I did the big chop too sis. Things I know now that I want to share... deep conditioning is your best friend. It will take some time to know what your hair likes but keep it conditioned and stay away from those little rubber bands to do styles. Find a gel you like to hold the cues, waves once your hair start behaving so you can hold your style. Good luck you got this
Aww thank yo uso much Rachelle. Yess girl it was definitely time for me to let the relaxed go. I'm excited to see what my natural hair journey has in store for me and of course I'll share with you guys along the way❤
You did a great job. I could tell you got more and more comfortable as you went. Your twist and fro game is going to be amazing. Your hair is so thick and beautiful. I have a little hair envy over here
Congrats on your Big Chop and new natural journey. You look flawless. I finally big chopped today as well and I absolutely love it lol. I feel free from bondage of two textures lol. The struggle was real with the relaxed ends that required more time and patient I was willing to give. The only issue is keep this twa well moisturized but I am confident I can handle this😉❤. Thanks for sharing. Btw try doing a wash-n-go or mini twist for quick styles.
Heyyy Shirley. Sending you big congrats on your big chop as well sis. Thank you so much. The last few days I've been either using scurl or stay-soft-fro to keep my hair moisturized and adding a lil oil. I also have dry scalp so I like to oil my scalp as well. I'm excited to try experimenting with wash-n-go and I'm wondering if my hair is long enough for twists
@@SW33TSPARKL3 thanks sis for the tips and congrats. Yes, your hair is definitely long enough. There are tons of videos on here for guidance. I can't wait to see❤
Mine did the exact same thing. I had big knots everywhere, it was so matted up, I couldn't believe it. I had to cut it all the way down. It was the best decision. I will NEVER go back to a relaxer......EVER!
I did the same thing last night cut all that bleach out my hair it was blonde and it was damage Can’t wait to see what my journey look like beautiful healthy hair❤️💪🏾
I know very little about your type of hair but even I can see, it’s beauty after all that damaged hair is gone. Gorgeous and yes, better to have a few inches of healthy hair than 12” of nasty hair 😊❤️
For anyone thinking of big chopping, based on my own experience, I recommend wetting the hair then using conditioner not just water or water mixed with conditioner. Don’t stretch the hair out when cutting and cut SMALL pieces or you WILL cut off more than necessary but at the same time not cut off enough and have to cut twice.
Thanks for the tip!

I love watching big chops video. Some times you need to start fresh. However I am transitioning my self. Didn’t do a big chop but I’m slowing cutting the relaxer off.
You're doing awesome Risha. I would say to continue going at your pace💕
It’s so beautiful sis I’m so proud of you I’m gonna do my big chop tomorrow I’m really excited to finally see the real me under my natural hair I can’t believe I hated my hair so much I was always embarrassed by my hair also because I was the only black girl everywhere ( adopted) and kids at my school just hated my hair now I’m finally seeing the beauty of my natural hair and I regret it so bad that I didn’t see that earlier thank you girl for inspiring 💚👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Your hair is beautiful 😍 I also have type 4 hair and did my big chop at the start of the pandemic, now my hair is 4 times the length that it was 🌱
Oh wow, that's encouraging! Thanks so much for sharing❤
Yesss baby! Welcome to the other side. It’s not easy but I haven’t relaxed again yet so you’ll make it. You have the patience 🙌🏽🙌🏽🥰
Thank you so much my friend🤗 You were definitely one of my inspirations. You know that color is calling my name but I'm trying to resist for now lol
I did the big chop too sis. Things I know now that I want to share... deep conditioning is your best friend. It will take some time to know what your hair likes but keep it conditioned and stay away from those little rubber bands to do styles. Find a gel you like to hold the cues, waves once your hair start behaving so you can hold your style. Good luck you got this
Thanks so much for the tips! I really appreciate it. And congratulations on your big chop too. ❤
Your hair is bomb !!! So thick and full love it
Thank youuu 💕
Your hair is so thick and beautiful. Love it

Love ❤ it. Your hair looks sooo soft and fluffy. You're inspiring me to cut my relaxed hair.
Aww Thank you Aleshea!!! How many months post are you?
Congrats on your Big Chop and new natural journey. You look flawless. I finally big chopped today as well and I absolutely love it lol. I feel free from bondage of two textures lol. The struggle was real with the relaxed ends that required more time and patient I was willing to give. The only issue is keep this twa well moisturized but I am confident I can handle this😉❤. Thanks for sharing. Btw try doing a wash-n-go or mini twist for quick styles.
Heyyy Shirley. Sending you big congrats on your big chop as well sis. Thank you so much. The last few days I've been either using scurl or stay-soft-fro to keep my hair moisturized and adding a lil oil.
I also have dry scalp so I like to oil my scalp as well. I'm excited to try experimenting with wash-n-go and I'm wondering if my hair is long enough for twists
@@SW33TSPARKL3 thanks sis for the tips and congrats. Yes, your hair is definitely long enough. There are tons of videos on here for guidance. I can't wait to see❤
@@acg7781 I used IamBeautiful, As I am hairlines.
This is like your second video ive watched, and i will say this ; you most definitely taking good care of your hair to keep it healthy.
Aww thanks hun. I appreciate that💓
Girl, I see life back in your hair. Love it.
Thank you
Mine did the exact same thing. I had big knots everywhere, it was so matted up, I couldn't believe it. I had to cut it all the way down. It was the best decision. I will NEVER go back to a relaxer......EVER!
That's awesome that we both got a chance to experience new beginnings ✨️
I did the same thing last night cut all that bleach out my hair it was blonde and it was damage Can’t wait to see what my journey look like beautiful healthy hair❤️💪🏾
Yasss congratulations Karis💕
I know very little about your type of hair but even I can see, it’s beauty after all that damaged hair is gone. Gorgeous and yes, better to have a few inches of healthy hair than 12” of nasty hair 😊❤️
Thanks 💕
You definitely have the face for it! I love natural hair 😊 yours looks wonderful!
Thank youuu
Your hair is so pretty and thick!! You definitely have the face for short hair ❤
