My BUG CHOP video!: • My Big Chop to Natural...
Videos and pictures of my 1 year transition journey from relaxed to almost fully natural! This is a month to month video slideshow that leads up to one full year post relaxer, and shows some hairstyles that I've been wearing throughout the months.
Transitioning has been a blast! And to see some raw hair texture pics, just skip to 1:34, and there should be many of them after that, they are everywhere, just be patient :-)
The growth of my hair ranges from 4 to 4.5 inches for my whole 12 months of transitioning.
From the looks of it, my hair texture seems to be 4c in the back, and 4b in the front, but who knows, maybe even a little 4a. Not sure yet once I do a big chop. I don't know when I'm going to big chop, yet, but stay tuned later to see what may happen in my second year!
Naptural85, my icon, has been helping me through this transition. Oh yea!

Reminds me of the beginning of my journey. I was so discouraged by boys saying my hair looked like there's, but now I'm loving my curls, feeling like Diane Ross (:
LifeWithLay FR girl me too npw i love my hair

+Jai Zipporah Awesome!

Jai Zipporah what is your hair type? I'm still trying to figure mine out...lol
Later's baby i think this is 4b
Jai Zipporah ikrrrr
Good Lord give me the strength to hold on for a year. I want to never look at another boxed perm for the remainder of my life. I love how you went month by month because I was wondering how it’s going to look and what to do with it. I have been relaxer free for almost two months.... and I love feeling my coils and I never want them to go away. Going natural is one thing but to FEEL natural is liberating
Awesome Video and The Song Made It Sooo Much Better Than It Already Was.
gina small Thanks sooo much!
LeLe4li you're welcome keep up the good work
You're SO patient...I'm only on month 2...Lord help me ;o)! Beautiful hair girl, you inspire me!!! Thanks for the journey video, it's the first I've seen on UA-cam since going natural...A+ ;o)!!!

ikr
LeLe4li its not copyright?

@@LeLe4li what did you put in your hair for it to start growing?
This song is poppin
What a beautiful transition from relaxed to your natural curl pattern. I am so inspired to keep going. Thank you so much for sharing your journey.
I've literally watched this like 10 time so inspirational
I’m on month five and u washed my hair I was so hype to see my curl pattern growing back
+Tola I pre-pooed with my conditioner, washed it, then put perm rods in for the 1st time, which didn't come out good, but practice makes perfect, and I'm so much better at it now
Omg. Your natural hair is SO PRETTY! I can't even!
I've been watching a lot of these videos recently. Your hair is lovely! I think no matter what kind of hair you have, it's important to learn ways to style and take care of the natural state. I'm white, but dealt with frizz a lot since puberty. I always washed, blow dried and straightened my hair everyday. I started to embrace my hair and not apply heat that lead to breakage and the cycle of continuing to flat iron. I don't shower everyday either. Your body produces certain oils for a reason. 9 months after ending this process, I actually have less frizz than ever. Heat or chemicals should be reserved for special occasions. We are born with the hair we should have, so let's embrace our natural beauty and learn what works for our own particular type.
this was so soothing to watch
Hi... If love transitioning videos and find it satisfying...Go check out my Natural Transformation and stay tuned for my Big Chop!!!
Be encouraged!!! My last perm was a couple months before yours, 8/31/13. I chopped off my relaxed ends at eight months. I keep it in a ponytail and wear a fake ponytail over that. I want it to grow out more so that it hangs better before loosing the fake pony. My hair doesn't puff to make an afro so I'm waiting for some hang time.
Arlene Johnson lol Well it makes sense. That's what they call that in-between awkward stage. I would love to avoid that!
song😭❤😭❤😭❤😭
I am not my hair
After watching this video i literally knew this whole song😂. Love the song & your natural hair looks great.
When your new growth started coming that's what my hair looks like a week after relaxing and it pisses me off
Thanks so much for this! I'm 5 months in, and my hair looks like yours did. I absolutely needed this inspiration.
Tyeisha Thomas Awww thank you that means a lot! Keep on going, it'll be worth it in the end!
My daughter is 14 and is on her 5th month of transitioning. This is such a beautiful video. I love your hair with the perm rods at the end!
I'm 16 years and I will be 1yr in February. I'm so excited! Right now I'm protective styling with crochet braids for the winter.
Jalisha Henry Oh, that one year mark, so exciting! And that's cool, you'll probably end up seeing so much growth when you take them out. Congrats!
We have very similar textures! I am almost 5 months post relaxer. Your video has given me an idea of how my natural hair may possibly look. Your hair looks great! Congrats!
Dominique W Thanks! Congrats on your journey!
perfect song for is video
*facepalm*
Hi. Your hair had amazing growth. I am currently transitioning. What products did you use??
Thank you for this. It gives me hope. Your hair is progressing beautifully
This song was spot on loved the video

updates?
Updates?
This encourages me to go natural. At first I'm like " No I'm too impatient for this!" I can see me now lol😊😍😍😍
Have a good weekend, thank you so much for making this, lot of people are doing the big hair cut, i need to see people who dont do it until our hair grow long!!
Brenda Warner I hope your weekend was good too! And yea, I'm not ready for the twa's!
I cant decide what is more beautiful...your curls, skin, song, or face! Just a freaking awesome combination!👍🏾👌🏾💖
My hair grows fast im 4 months with no relaxer and I was as far as her 9 month mark and ur curl pattern is beautiful
+Morgan Bradley Awww thank you, that means a lot!
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! AND THANK YOU again. This is the kind of video that I been looking for.
I have been struggling on the decision to transition to natural due to my curl pattern and the current length of my hair. This is a great start and inspiration to me.
Thanks again!
Please make a video on the struggle u went through while transitioning and the products u used please !!!!! 😍 (just mainly talking about the transitioning process
Very encouraging video I just started.
+Loving Swayah Thanks, good luck on your journey
Kequanda same
Omw love the song...im also one year transitioning .cant wait till I reach my goal,but All take time a patients😘
I am transitioning to natural because the nape of my hair just would not grow. My hair is longer in the front and short in the back. My back I think is fully natural since I haven't had a perm for almost three months now. Styling is still very much a struggle for me so I do alot of up-do buns because the twists will only last me maybe a good 2 days before I need to do something else to it. But I must say that your journey is really given me hope. I let the Africans do my box braids which becomes very expensive but I think I will have to utilize the box braids style until I get a little more length so that I can fully enjoy the twist/roller set styles because like I said after two days my back part looks like a matted mess. I Will Stick To It Though After Seeing Your Video!!! It will be worth it because my back hair is already much thicker just after a couple months of no perm!!!
Beautiful transitioning!!😍😍😍😍
great video documenting transitioning
Yessssss hunny 🧡 we sang this song at my church before for black history every girl had a part and got a African American celebrity
I’m thankful I started transitioning back when I was 12 I made the decision before my mom yafeelme so I’m happy ash I’m 19 now n I get hella hair compliments 🙏🏾
Loved your video. I'm 62 about to retire. Only 4 weeks post. You have got to know its hard for me after many years of relaxing. I am going to give it a try. Keep up the great work young sista!
+Yvonne Chisolm thank! Keep up yours too!
i am 5months into the transition journey and ur video has further inspired me
Finally someone with my texture and all I am transitioning
thank you for this video..i just decided i want to go natural... i am nervous and excited about this journey.
I am so glad I saw your videos! I don’t feel as stressed anymore.
-'Am I The Only One Who Thought Her Playing With Her Curl Was Funny?
I have 3b hair, and I almost had heat damage. All I had to do was deep condition it and cut off some of my hair which was to my waist, now it's to my middle back ;-;. Gotta get my waist length hair back
I enjoyed this 😊♥️
OMG....your videos have inspired me! I am currently growing my hair out...I am so scared but anxious and excited with what the results will be. I am black and so i have a tight curl and my hair tends to be dry a lot.... I am in the gym a lot and am sweating all the time in my relaxed hair so I said you know what it's time to just go natural...not to mention I am having breakage in the back like you and got my hair cut into a BOB as well...its grown back a lot all over but then the back broke off again...I think from lack of moisture and my very tight kinky texture...so I have decided to bite the bullet and do protective styles and hopefully my hair will be as gorgeous as yours...I am also going to start taking the hairfinity pills as well to boost my length, because it's definitely THICK! But again, so inspired to follow the same things as you did to transition from relaxed to natural hair...by the way can you post an update on your hair ? I am intrigued to know what it looks like now. xo thanks :)
+Crecia's UA-cam Favorites Well definitely make sure to moisturize your hair either every morning, night, or even both!...Even with your protective style in (if they're braids). And thank you!
thanks so much... I'm refusing to put another perm on my head, and haven't done the chop yet. But since I've seen ur video I'm going to continue to bantu my hair and wear it curly! I guess I just thought that I should cut it, but now I see that I can just let it grow!
I love watching videos about people's transitioning stories. Your natural hair is so pretty. I'm transitioning myself & can't wait to big chop. When are you gonna do the big chop?
Reaux49 Awww thank you! How far along are you in your transition? And I'm going to try to wait until my 2nd year mark.
LeLe4li I'm still a beginner, I'm almost 4 months into it.
Reaux49 That's good though. But I was the same way just binge watching hair journeys...they're addictive.
thinking about going natural too... I haven't relaxed my hair since December and wanted to go relax it last week but wondering if i should just let my hair be since I've basically started the transition process...
I’m so excited to start this journey! 🥰
You patience is great! 🙆🏽♀️ am only at 6 months and am just like will I make it to a year+😭😭😭
I feel you I was in my third month and ended up relaxing it again 🤦🏾♀️
And everybody's beautiful and also every single hairstyle they want
You inspired me to start transitioning my hair as soon as I take my hair out
Thanks so much for this video. Your hair looks amazing. Your hair journey is inspiring.
kdramas Thank you so much!
I want to do a big chop and what I plan to do is get a protective style and wait till I get some new growth and cut the relaxed ends
Jeezzeee...your hair looked exactly like mine a year and a half ago. Pictures of mine looked EXACTLY like yours. At first I was like, "howd this person get my photos!?!" :)
That's Right Baby Girl, Embrace That Natural Beauty!! I Swear If I Didn't Know Any Better; I Would Say That I'm Looking At My God Daughter!! You Are Absolutely Beautiful!! Rock On Baby Girl!! God Bless You, Sweetie....Looking Blessed!!
+Brenda Warner right! I started growing my hair and I need some transition videos for 2015!
Your curls are adorable! Love it!
I LOVE THIS !! We have the same hair texture. Your video gives me hope. You are gorgeous !!! :)
This is beautiful😩❤️
Have so many different patterns in my tranistioning hair I have your texture on the sides lol I love it
shefindsherway19 lol that's awesome. And yea, I feel like I have 3 different textures. The sides of my hair are my favorite texture to work with.
Omg this was the first video I watched when I went natural
I love this song. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I am six months into my transition and my hair looks exaclty like yours!! What hair type do you beive you are?
Faith Siriboe Well if I had to guess, I would say 4b. And maybe 4a, like in the front. But I won't know for sure until I big chop.
And six months is awesome! That's when transitioning really started getting exciting to me, good luck to you!
I used perm rods for my hair before and I loved that style on me....I'll thinking about doing it again
davida coleman Yea perm rods are the lifesavers in my transition
i love your texture!!!! your curls were so defined while you transitioned what was your transitioning regimen? do you do MHM or use bentonite clay?
+Raquel Huyler thank you! And nope, no clay, just different conditioners
Please help me with my hair 😩😩
So damaged and dry. Can anyone please? I'm struggling to seal in moisture in the middle and back. It feels like wires
Your hair is beautiful BTW 😍
Wow this encouraging to keep going .. thankyou !
What's that song called⁉ I LOVE IT!!😀💖
Mina.2fly M india arie i am not my hair

+Kareen Ross Bantu knots did not work for me, but you could always try and see
The song made me feel better about my big chop ngl
I'm about 4 months natural after my relaxer and my hair looks like yours when you were about 8 months in still struggling on ways to keep my curls defined and blending textures together
This is so Beautiful & inspirational 😍
May I ask why you still haven't cut the permed ends? Girl let it go, cut it off. Your curl pattern is super gorgeous!
+NATALIE JENKINS I did, I big chopped in July, my video is already posted

Tiara Swint haha thanks!

I am working now to transition my 8 year olds hair away from perms. She has only had them for last 4-5 years. I loved your video because you didn't chop your hair off😁 I would like to ask were there and special products you used during this time. Whenever I have gone without a perm my hair started to break off really bad so wanna ask for advice on this before I run into that issue with her hair.
really enjoyed watching this
My curls patteren is similar to hers
great transition to natural hair
Lovely video hun I'm transitioning I'm at my eight month loving it miss my curls
Beautiful!!
Love your curl pattern, I'm going natural as well, very inspiring video.
Buo Alfred Thanks!...That means a lot
love it made me really want to go natural
Thoroughly enjoyed that!
Great inspirational video! Thank you for sharing it.
I'm only a few months into transitioning but I'm so tired. I don't want to big chop but it's hard dealing with two textures.😞 Right now my hair is in braids and I'm dreading the time when I'm gonna have to take them out.
Really like it first of akind to see lovely song
Love the curls I wish my hair curled like that
