    My natural hair journey.
    My mom used to relax my hair for a long time, I would still wear braids and would wear fake ponytails and stuff. I did this for a couple or years. I started off around age 4-6. I would not do it often though, fortunately. My mom then texturised my hair and stopped relaxing it, thinking it was better than relaxer. We did this for 2 years. Luckily, she decided to go let us go natural. It wasn’t too late so I didn’t have to cut off my hair. Most of my friends’ hairs looked longer than my hair because they continued to relax their hair making it go down, while I was stuck with a shortish Afro, they mocked me. I envied them, until the relaxer damaged their hair and they went natural so they cut off a lot of hair. They now envy my hair which is waay past my collarbone. *GO NATURAL, EVEN IF IT IS HARD*

      Yaasssss! Karma got them back 😂, when I was 4-7 or older I’m not sure but when i was younger my mum used to texturise my hair and it would stay down but I think at some point (can’t remember what age) I was able to transition to my natural hair. One of my sisters cut their hair ( a big chop basically) and my other sister relaxes her hair so now during quarantine me and my mum are trying to grow our natural hair. ( that was a long paragraph no one asked for, meaning mine. 😂😅)
      EDIT: she (my mum)used to trim mine and my sisters hair but then stopped I don’t know why though 🤔

      It's the emotional and frustrating state that made me take up the big chop decision. From Jerry curl to relaxer. My hair was a total mess. It will break so bad. I felt so sad.. needless to cry. I had a big chop few days ago. I feel safe. My hair was really damaged. I've lost my edges. I really want to grow back my hair so bad but this time naturally. Without the chemicals. I'm really hopeful this works great.

  • @mydknyghtrydah463
    @mydknyghtrydah463 6 років тому +60

    I just notice that a lot of those choosing to no longer chemically treat their hair treat relaxers as if its the worst thing ever (no judgement) I say that, because if the care and attention and products and TIME that goes in caring for kinky hair was applied to chemically treated hair the results would be the same. We can honestly say relaxers make us a little lazy b/c its easy but non-chemically treated kinky hair is a JOB and for some reason people are willing to put in the work. Just a thought...

    • @paviforlove5256
      @paviforlove5256 5 років тому +6

      Danièll Harber It’s not “for some reason”. The reason isn’t a mystery, it’s quite clear. People (like myself) are willing to put in the work in order to reach their goals. Hair is healthier without chemicals so no, the results “wouldn’t be the same”

I'm scared because I've always had long hair with a perm, but also excited because I had such beautifully thick and long hair before my mom permed it. My hair is long, but also thinned quite a bit over the years from perms and I dont really get it trimmed. I want to go natura without cutting off my hair. Thank you for this video

    My mom asked me if i want to relax my hair and I said yes. I wanted to relax it because I thought it would look longer and easier to manage and I always get jealous of people with long pretty natural hair. I relaxed it late last year, Its been like 3-5 times since its been relaxed, and I'm glad my mom isnt against me trying to go back natural. Now I want to go back natural and start my hair growth journey. (I kinda started it already, by putting aloe Vera in my relaxed hair and its been like more than a month using it) I've been taking care of my hair tho (at least that's what I think) I've been using the aloe, I deep condition my hair and moisturize it.

When covid hit and I had to work from home I kept pushing back putting in my texturizer bc I was only at home and the store. Now it is almost 9months later and im still transitioning quite a bit. Its a challenge and my family isn’t very encouraging about it except to say cut it off or relax it bc you’re hurting your hair. Thanks for posting this video it encourages me.

    I got my 1st perm at the age of 3yrs old. So honestly I don't even know my real hair texture. I have ALWAYS had a perm. Every time I see a nap I perm it quick! But I suffer from brittle ends. And my co-worker said it was from the perms. And I had no clue. Have been really considering going natural.

    Umm.... So... I always had lower back length hair..... Since i was young... N about may this year i decided to perm it... I didnt know how to take care of my natural hair... ... N now its August and i just dont want it anymore .... I wish i never did it... But too late... So im just looking up reverse perm... N looking up black hair care products... I shouldve just been happy with my natural hair... Cuz even with my natural hair i can get it bone straight... But wen it came to my 3b 3c hair... I just didnt knoe how to tend to it .... I wish i knew how to take care of it... I want to do the chop but i always had hair... And i dont think i can be bald... So i think ima do the beer wash vinegar wash... Shampoo wash.... Deep condition... Twist my hair every week.... N get those products i keep seeing on youtube as a commercial for black girls.. Im just sad cuz alot of my hair is falling out....

    • @marcimars3460
      @marcimars3460 4 роки тому

      Hi I’m also transitioning. I learned that because your natural hair and relaxed hair have two different textures there’s something called the “line of demarcation” where your relaxed hair and natural hair meet. This area is more prone to tangling and breakage. So it’s normal to have a bit more tangles. I would try to be more gentle when detangling that area. If you use a brush, I would try to use a comb more often.

    • @marcimars3460
      @marcimars3460 4 роки тому

      You can start doing protective styles to hide the two different textures. Twists, braids, etc. if you want to wear your hair out you can also do braid-outs, twist-outs, and perm rod sets. you can slowly trim your hair as it grows out. I trim a small amount mine once a month, but you can go for longer without trimming. When your hair grows out you may learn that certain products don’t work for your hair anymore. You can start to experiment with new products.
