I was like “Why is she crying? It turned out beautiful.” You’re beautiful. Remember that. We are not our hair. It’s just an accessory. Have fun with it.

Girl don't cry, I'm on my third big chop and I love it, I love my TWA so rock it.

I know you’re not feeling it but it’ll grow back so fast and so much healthier, so the chop will be worth it. I’ve always loved how versatile your hairstyles are! This chop is cute on you 😍

Thank you for being vulnurable on here. When you started cryng I felt that DEEP in my soul. I went to the hairdresser because I was so frustrated with my hair I just took a pair of scissors and chopped off a big chunk of hair, and then I asked them to cut off all my hair. As she was buzzing my head I just burst out into tears. The hairdresser jest held me and then kept going. It is so exhausting to have this hair and I feel like there isnt enough room to complain about it. Being black, you're expected to be proud of your hair and never complain about it, but it can be so exhausting to take care of it and I really wish we could just be a bit more honest about how mentally draining having afro hair can be. It's like every morniing I have to tame a wild animal with my products and combs. Also you look really beautiful! I wish you lots of luck on this journey

That looks so good! I love that you're willing to do what needs to be done for healthier hair. If you miss it, you got braids and wigs 🥰

I appreciate you being real and raw in this video with your emotions through this process . I’m thinking about doing the same thing and I’m sure I’ll have the same reactions you did

ITS CUTE WHY IS IT SO CUTE STOP ITS GORGEOUS

“the quicker my hair grow out THA BYETTAA”😂😂 you’re adorable

Awwww sis, your so brave, you got this and like you said, it will grow back soooooo fast and healthy.

Currently contemplating my 3rd big chop as well. My first one was in 2013 and second one was 2017. Here we go again. This gave me a lot of confidence. Thank you so much for sharing, you look beautiful girl ❤️

ITS BEAUTIFUL DIVA! I DO LOVE YOUR RAW EMOTIONS DURING THIS PROCESS... THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL JOURNEY... EMBRACE IT AND BE AS BEAUTIFUL AS YOU ARE!

this is the realest big chop video ive ever seen

I just big chopped for the first time for the same reason. My curl pattern was so loose due to heat damage, and I was sad/depressed looking at it after washing it. I had the same emotions and came across your video 🥹🫶🏾 let’s do this together sis

🤣🤣🤣🤣 “ ima be bald for my birthday?” It tuned out cute !!!!

You are so pretty and your features are coming out even more with those earrings. Come through, kneck line and jawbone. Thanks for sharing!

The "I'm baldheaded for real...damn..." took me out! 😂 But it looks cuteeeee! The face gives, always...so the hair is just the addition...it will grow back sis! 🤍

I love how you're talking yourself thru it. You got this.

I'm laughing at the earrings bc I do the same thing when I'm cutting my hair. I throw on mascara and even throw something sexy just to give myself that extra umph

I literally felt the same way and cut my hair yesterday. Every time I looked at it, it was thin on one side and thick on the other and my hair kept falling out really bad. I also bleached and colored my hair twice and then Permed it . I then cut it off 😂

I just want to say how much I appreciate your transparency from beginning to end in this video 😇

Gorgeous hun we so hard on ourselves. Go forth and b great

I think you look beautiful. I think once the initial shock wears off you’ll be okay. You’ve been here before and your hair grows back super fast. Keep your head up Q! ❤

I was here for you to be hype not sad. Give yourself more grace cause you look very beautiful. Been following you for years - and can't wait to follow you in this journey! ;)

Literally look so beautiful. Skin clear, hair is beautiful. You have always been beautiful. Pick up your crown. You are not you hair

I just happened upon your video, and I must say that you look absolutely gorgeous with your new haircut. One sees your beautiful face and then your beautiful hair. I hope you are feeling it now. You look amazing, just stunning queen!!!

🌷🍃this video kept showing up on my feed and I’m grateful that I finally decided to watch it. although it’s well over a year old at this point, but if you have an opportunity to read this comment…. chiiile T H A N K Y O U for posting this powerful and beautiful moment of transformation. ❤ 🌷🍃we invest so much creativity, love, and energy when it comes to our hair, and life in general. the hours and effort poured into caring for and grooming ourselves… from silk presses, braids, color, locs, etc. I recently went through a similar experience and had to big chop over five years worth of time and effort. I was so close to my hair goal… I too felt sooo 😢 gutted! but believe me when I tell you, I’ve learned from my missteps. I’m back on team twa, but grateful to still have healthy hair follicles that wanna stay in the game after all they’ve been thru 😂… hair is thriving! you’re funny, creative, and beautiful… thank you, Quiesha, for sharing this.🍃🌷

It’s cute 🥰! Don’t worry it will grow back before you know it ❤

I’m with you! I had to chop my hair 3 times to fully understand what I wanted to do with my hair. When it would shoulder length I’d start styling it too much. I’m determined to grow it to bra strap length.💖🙅🏾‍♀️

When I went natural I transitioned instead of big chopping, but I got bored & bleached my hair & had to big chop in 2018 and your videos helped me so much. In the beginning of the yr I shaved my head and I’m starting to let it grow back and I’m looking forward to your vids. You look great with short hair btw 💗

Your hair looked so beautiful at the end ❤ And then you added makeup, that look fits you so well. Love it, love it, love it! And that "Michael from Good Times" comment had me rollin'!

I LOVE it…..You are so lucky to have a face that can pull off short hair! FOA….”You ARE NOT bald-headed! You did an amazing job to not be a licensed stylist! Quiesha you give me LIFE Girl! The commentary as you talk to yourself…..I am dead on the floor listening to this! You AIGHT Boo! Hair grows back! You also have a beautiful grade of hair; very dense so what you see as “bald headed” folks wish their hair was so full looking. I love it on you! ROCK dat Ish Boo; you Gud!💪🏾💪🏾🫶🏾

I love it. I am actually about to chop mine off before my appointment Saturday. Ima still go to my appointment but this hair has to go now. Going through the worst breakup right now and life is kicking my ass. The hair is something i can do without

Your hair is fine. I’ve follow you for years when you did the other big chop and it grew back. I love the look it not bad at all.

Absolutely gorgeous! I have been needing to chop and the more I delay the more the line of demarcation moves 🤦🏽‍♀️ I appreciate you sharing your journey so much!

I love it💕 I'm inspired to big chop!

CUTIE PATOOTE!!! LOOKS AMAZING QUEEN!!!!

Remember to not pull it because you will cut more than you always want to. I big chop every January because that healthy hair grows so fast I’ve been doing it for 10 years. By June I’m always able to braid it. It’s like watching your kids grow.

You put yourself down so much and it turned out beautiful!😍❤️

i’m bout to do my second big chop & idk why i’m nervous cause my hair grow so fast 😭

Don’t worry sis, just cut it ! It’s liberating !! 😍😍 and it came out wonderful!

I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO CUT MY HAIR AND I THIS JUST SOLIDIFIED MY CHOICE!! You look soooooooooo beautiful!! It was hard to see your cry because I thought you look amazing. I really hope you come around cause wow. You are gorgeous..

I know the feeling girl trust! But better u cut off that damage sooner than later and like u said… catch me outside in about 3-4 months. Spring break bout to be lit! Hair bout to be thriving ❤❤❤

You look great! I am so happy I found your channel. Like you I have been silk pressing my hair for about two years; with that said my curl pattern is nonexistent 😩 Before silk pressing I loved loved my curl pattern. So I am ready to go back and plan to big chop my hair and start over! You just gave me the extra push to chop chop 🤩

Girl I’m about to order my wigs & call it a year. Your cut is beautiful btw

Hope you feel better about it by now. I really think you look great with short hair. Not everyone, like myself, can rock it. ❤ Be well hun

I literally went through this same process last night😢😊😢😂..just mixed emotions 🤦🏾‍♀️

I really appreciate this video bc our hair is literally so similar in texture! I’m experiencing heat damage too that’s been bothering me (it’s not bad but I don’t want any at all) and I’ve been debating on cutting it all off myself. I def think I am after seeing this.

I love your personality!!. I just big chopping with you today for the same reasons. You look amazing! Thank you so much!!!

Real talk about those hoops. They make a big difference. Lol.

You know what baby girl, you did need to cut it that short! There was a lot to get rid of. And some sections were more damaged than others. And you look BEAUTIFUL and liberated. Sending you love.

I feel you girl. I cut my locs out after growing them for 7 years and girl when I tell you I had to put on a Jill Scott album to keep it together and get through it. So, I understand the emotions you were experiencing in this video. The 1st cut is always the hardest. Subscribed and on the journey too.

I'm the same it's my 3rd big chop just a week ago, my hair was bra strap length, but extremely damaged from protein overload and I'm trying for a year to fix it and it's just getting worse so I had enough and I cut it at neck length, I feel less stressed now, but now I know better

I love your personality! I needed this inspiration to do my 3rd big chop too!! You look great girl, don’t be sad, your hair is beautiful! Thanks for sharing this video❤

You ate the short hair up in the end! Lol. Looking forward to seeing it flourish how you wanted

Lmaoo “I look just like his raggedy ahh” 😂😂

It’s hella cute! It’s going go grow back beautifully! You are a beautiful girl! You are going to rock it and be your cute self! 😊

It looks AMAZING & soooo cute!!!! Hurray for healthy hair!❤

You look stunning!!! You did a fantastic job!!

i cut my hair bald 5 times this year and it grew back everytime ...use biotin ...castor oil ect

Hiii you have convinced me to cut my heat damaged hair. Because it came out so gorgeous. But I'm scared to this would be my second big chop lmao

Sorry you are feeling sad right now, but like you said it will grow back, I think it's really cute. Try to find a healthier gel and mousse that will work for your hair as well for your new health journey.

This is supper cuteee on you omg! 😍 I just cut my hair to that “awkward phase” but im thinking I want to go even shorter and this will def be crying in the mirror but it will be so worth it babe! You look beautiful!

You look stunning absolutely beautiful. I did the big chop 2 years ago and still struggle with thick 4c hair. Change is hard…but hang in there.

Q I love it I’ve been here since all the chops I love it yes it’s a journey but we are all here for you ❤& with you but I would be crying my eye out too 😢I feel you I’m still scared too cut mines

It’s so cute! It turned out great🔥🔥That’s why I clicked on your video. This is the look!!😍😍😍😍

girl i definitely can relate and i’m definitely gonna to big chop for a third time !!! DO IT ❤

You look good, I'm about to do my first big chop now. Thank you for this. Sending you some love 💕💕💕💕 hope you're feeling better now.

How I just knew my shit was gone look when I big chopped; and went natural the first time without a relaxer, or a professional! 🥴 Girl I wanted to cry and my hair ain’t nowhere near as full or curly as yours. You look so good as always! You’ll be back longer, thicker, curls still BUSS’N even better now! Your snap brought me back here 🫶🏾🤎💪🏾

Lol I’m about to cut mine again too for the third time 😂😂

U are very entertaining. Loved the energy 😅. At the end I cried with u. It will grow back.

it looks amazing!!!

I just big chopped after 12 years it was down my back I went through a depression and cut it off with impulse I genuinely miss my hair but I’m learning to embrace the short……You got this Queen!! And it looks amazing💞💞💜💜

You look beautiful 👸🏽 I’m on my second big chop and I was so nervous. I was going through each emotion I swear. But it’s always good for change. My hair wasn’t damaged I just decided ima cut it. My hair grows fast as well so I shouldn’t of been nervous I still am but ima just rock it ❤

It looks gorgeous on you! It can be mentally challenging as first, but it’s gonna be okay, I did my big chop 2 weeks ago as well. You’re hair is gonna grow so much faster and healthier than if you didn’t cut it! I’m subscribed❤

you are absolutely gorgeous! No matter what you do to your hair. I LOVE IT!!

you are beautiful & you look gorgeous with your hair short. in fact, I've been contemplating to cut my hair & your video is what pushed me to do. so thank you! sending you much love ❤

Inspirational! 🧡

I feel you sis. I’m loosing my hair really bad due to genetics and I had surgery 4 months ago. I need to big chop and I’m so terrified but excited at the same time. I want to cry when I see my hair in its current state.

Girl u tripping ur hair is popping I love it 🥰 ❤🥰🥰😍😍

But you look sooo good and just motivated me to cut mine to the same length

It looks so cute!

Yes, please don’t use heat or anything. It will all be worth it, when your hair is healthy and long!

i recently had my head shaved behind my ear due to shunt surgery , i'm big chopping tomorrow . i'm excited but still gotta figure out how to rock my curls with a patch behind my ear that's growing back lol I HOPE MY BIG CHOP COME OUT LIKE YOURS 🤩🤩 don't cry ! it's BEAUTIFUL & YOU'RE beautiful 😍💕

You are gorgeous! You are inspiring and you are loved by God. I've been following your journey since your hair was colored years ago(like late 2013). And you still inspire me sis💯 #youRock #YouGotThis!

This is exactly how it is going thru the process…. I’m at the stage of deciding . I’m tired 😢

It’s was super cute and super you in the video you showed it’s ok to cut your hair for it to be healthy

Love your vibe, i just big chopped 2/22 from a relaxed girl. You look good lady. New to your channel

Very pretty. I understand your sadness but it really does look pretty 😊 keep your head up. You look really pretty

Sis 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I know it doesn’t mean anything but you look really good with the twa and it will grow back really fast and healthier 💖💖💖 I support you sis and love you thank you for being vulnerable with us and real as always

Still gorgeous!!❤

12:18 🤣🤣🤣 NOT MICHAEL FROM GOODTIMES!!!

THAT is literally the hairstyle I desire, it looks real amazing 🫶🏾

😂😂 i said that yesterday!! Imma just be a bhah!! 😂😊

I recently cut my hair off as well and it has not been easy getting use to it. I could go back to wigs and doing things that made my hair unhealthy. But I realized Im still beautiful and so are you.

You’re beautiful and your hair is also beautiful. Just keep working with it and see what works for you.

You look so Good ❤❤

I'm going through this right now. I think I'm going to cut off my hair off. I didn't really do a big chop, my hairdresser at the time, cut it in sections so I wouldn't be self conscious, but now I think I'm going to have to cut everything off this time. I have bald spots, I have itching, the hair looks deader than a possum playing dead. I'm going to a derm at the end of the month (also the year). I'm stressed and fearful that she'd going to tell me that it's a lost cause and I'll be bald forever. My family all blame me, my friends don't really understand, they try, but telling me 'it's just hair' doesn't help. I can't even express how depressed I feel when I look at my hair, so I get you. I wish that your hair grows back healthy and better than ever. I have my scissors ready, and I'm going to do it, when I get back from the derm. I'll literally start 2023 with no hair, because I'm going to cut it all off, I'll have to go shorter than you, and I'm going to look like a bald man 😮‍💨😭😭

Your going to rock it as you usually do. Stop being so hard on yourself. Many blessings ❣

I’m about to do my third big chop too 😭 we in this together

Your hair is so cute. I love ❤it!
