I choped all my hair in September 2017 and now in January 2018 it’s about two to three inches longer...I’m 11 years old and at school everyone thought I was so brave and now the people who have damaged hair come up to me and say “because of you I might go natural” and that just makes me so happy

Skip to 7:23 to see the cut

It looks so beautiful though , it definitely fits your face 😍

Girl, I remember when I did my big chop, I was hyped asf. (I was crazy though because I did it before senior prom and my mom was pissed lmao.) My hair had heat damage just like yours and every time I brushed it, I could literally hear my hair breaking. I couldn't take it anymore, so I cut it all off then I shaved like 98% of the damage off. I still have a little more damage but I'm gonna wait until it grows out a little more. Anyways, congrats on your hair journey, it's a struggle but it's worth it. Tip: Don't use Cantu as a "beginner" natural hair product. Their stuff has rubbing alcohol in it now. :(

I just did my big chop yesterday morning!!! It was the best decision I made in a long time and very satisfying 🤗🤗🤗 I was 11 months post relaxer so I have a decent size 4a fro. My curls instantly just popped after I cut my ends! If my fro was shorter I still would of wore it out. I'm loving my curly afro and I refuse to hide it I'm just so in love with my natural curls 🙌🙌 Once you build your confidence and wear it out more you will feel way better about it. Its only the beginning and it looks very nice too!

Omg you are so brave! I wanna big chop so bad but scared I'll regret it so I cut my hair overtime. But girl your video just gave me the strength to go for it ❤️😘. I had to sub w/ the quickness. And it looks cute on you.

This Makes Me Wanna Do The Big Chop But I'm So Scared😂

Girl, you look cute with your hair like that. You better rock that style. You may not be used to it, but you look very beautiful. It's very becoming.

I ain't big chopping my hair till I have money to buy the stuff that'll make my hair popping. Hope that made some of you guys who are young think about this and the cost literally.😊

I’ve been wanting to cut my hair for years now so I can see my actual curl pattern, but my family keeps telling me I’ll look like a boy and be ugly lol.. so I’ve decided to cut my hair idk when but I want to cut it

Omg girl you so brave lol. I wouldn't have the guts to do it. It look pretty though 😍

“Short hair like Nia Long.” You look good love . ! It’ll be back long in no time .

I was trying to figure out how I was going to cut mine and you just helped me. Btw I think it looks cute on you!

Finally found someone with my hair type & problem😍 gave me so much more confidence to cut.. waiting till spring though :)

I shaved my hair 2 months ago and I’m missing my length 😩 but watching videos like this make me stay motivated 💕

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL YOU LOOK BRAND NEW AND ALL YOUR FACIAL FEATURES ARE ON FLEEK

Was I the only nervous one

So cute sis 😍 looking like a whole new bihh🤣

When I did my big chop back in 2012 I felt the exact same way. I had the same reaction. Felt so insecure. I had to love myself again. It was a process. I felt so uncomfortable in public. I wore wigs until my hair grew out. Then I got addicted to sewins after my wigs phase was over. My hair became so unmanageable because I was lazy when it came to my real hair but spent hours curling & styling my weave. two years into it I end up getting a relaxer. I gave up. Now fast forward to 2017 my hair is really thin, has heat damage, bleached, shedding, uneven, & just unhealthy. I did my big chop for nothing pretty much. Don't Be like me. I really got lost in the makeup & weave & forgot to love myself. In 2012 I was 17 years old following trends. Now I'm wishing I would've took care of my hair. When I cut my hair back in 2012 I said I would never cut it again because I was so uncomfortable but honestly I thought I looked beautiful. Now I don't care what people think. I'm really considering doing my big chop again & this time my journey will be mine not anybody else's. My spiritual journey has led me back to going natural. Crazy how when we love god we fall in love with ourselves. Prayers to you on your journey. Btw you look beautiful.

Girl you can definitely wear your hair as it is! I know how you feel but It really does fit you.

It looks really really good on you wear it out 😍😍😍

Congrats on the big chop, and a new health start for your hair, looks very cute on you

This is cute on you!!! Wear your natural hair out girl!!! I'll be big chopping soon!

girl that takes GUTS! you are awesome and look stunning with your new cut :)

Too much rumbling 😭

I just did my big chop this weekend. I woke up and decided my hair had to go, so I grabbed the scissors and headed to the bathroom. I didn't give myself any time to think about it! Now that my hair is gone, I'm feeling free and ready to see what my unrelaxed hair is going to look like!

Love the hair sister!!! BEAUTIFUL big chop!!!!!

Hey girlie! I kind of remember being in your situation back in 2015. I was kind of nervous because I was kind of always used to having long hair. But I was sick of relaxers. So I finally did it (got my mom to chop off all my relaxed hair which was about mid-back length that time but I was suffering from some breakage and dryness). Guess what? I am like 2.5 years natural and my hair has literally DOUBLED in fullness. Is way stronger AND is like bra-strap length when I pull my curls/coils down (mind you, I trim my hair like crazy because I want it to be even like all over lol and I hate seeing scraggly ends haha). So don't worry. You are not alone with your feelings, but you will start to feel free and like more familiar with yourself and your hair. Best of luck to you dear and sorry this was so long! haha :P

Girl it suits you so well!! I don't think I could ever chop off that much 😂😂 congrats on the big chop!!

You Look So Pretty With It💛

I recently big chopped to start basically to a new beginning to have a change (b/c my little brother died July 31 he lived for about 8hrs and I felt I need to start over with something) I still have to chop some ends like a few straight strands that need to be off I love it tho 💘💘😊😊

girl when i saw ur new hair, i just like "wow she slay!!!!"

I like it. It looks really cute. I didn't have the guts to big chop. I just cut it over the course of a year until I got my curls back. I still have a little ways to go but I'm happy with my hair now.

Yassssss this cut looks so cute on you 💕💕

When you try to talk yourself in to it in the beginning that is definitely all of us lol

YASSSSSSSSS I’m doing another big chop in January!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

lmao its crazy because we had the same reaction doing the big chop, your gonna love it and your hair is gonna flourish. !!! cant wait to see your journey

Girl you look gorgeous😍 It suits you!

sis, curls are tf poppin 😍 love itttt

I went to the barber and Big Chop mine on August 30th. Excited to experience this journey with you. Your hair looks great by the way

this hair looks so good on you ... looking beautiful girl :*

When I did my big chop I constantly told myself “ it ain’t worth stressin over something that grows back”😂😂

I big chopped a month ago...goin on 2 months and I had no curl whats so ever.! It was all so straight and then my roots had a some curl to it. I’m glad you still had somewhat of a curl pattern. I cut mine basically down to the roots .. don’t worry it’ll get better....I hope. Patience I guess, I’m just gonna be wearing box braids hahaha love that girls feel confident to big chop. I was feeling sad after I did it like questioning if it was a good idea...(not like I can go back thou)

its so pretty wear it out! not a lot of people can pull of the short look but you CAN :)

Congrats on the big chop! 🎉 Love the cut! So Cute!

If you don’t like how short it is you could where a scarf bun just giving you diff options other than a wig

man the cut is cute af it won't bad at all

You look so beautiful with this 😍😍 I like it better actually

I love your hair !❤️

That actually looked like it could have been restored? but it looks great and it always grows back so...almost everyone I know "natural" has had heat damage and has had to make a decision about cutting it and starting over.

You made me cry. I'm letting my boyfriend cut my hair in the morning soon as I get off work. I'm so scared but you encouraged me. I also have a wig and I'm ready but scared.

She looks good with shorter hair

I love it. Can't wait to fully cut mine

I just chopped my hair yesterday and man...I completely fucked myself up! I let my boyfriend help and he took to much off in the back and sides, there was no salvaging what little hair I wanted. I had to bust out his clippers...T-T

Trust me it's all worth it!!! I cut my permed hair off a year ago(2016) of august and it was short like yours my hair grew so much from not putting heat or chemicals in it. Your hair looks cute like that and it fits your face.hope your new natural hair journey goes great😊🎃❤💝😄(ps) you are brave gurl!!!!!

I think it look so beautiful

You look so much more mature and beautiful and your hair is healthy

i honestly just cut my hair cause i felt like it. i like shorter hair better. my hair was perfectly healthy and hella long, and now it’s perfectly healthy and hella short. This style is BOMB on you

Yo that chop is fye frfr. You look so damn good

Post 1 year growth video, I literally did this chop 10 days before you

Def fits you.. i love it girl ...💜😍😍

I did a chop back in November last year and I straightened out in (April) of this year too often and I decided this September I would go all the way and shave my hair and it's growing back so fast

Yesssss Nita this is for sure cute on you!!!

The first cut is always hard , but then you stuck and can't go back. LOL I love this look on you and your hair will be better once it grows out. I did a big chop too and I don't regret it. Your cut isn't as short as mine but loveeee it

Girl if you don't work that style really cute

Omg you looked so sad nooo. 🧡 it’s okay girl.

It looks bomb as hell!! I love it!!!

It looks bomb tho!

You went Drastic! But it looks GOOD!

Omgosh you look soo pretty!! You dont need a wig. Xxx!

It's pretty boo I just don't think your curls are fully activated yet, so with due time it'll curl up more

You cuttteee Nita!😍😍😍

Tried big chopping by myself once. Stopped after I couldn't control my hands and "Accidentally" cut off too much.

You look beautiful

Im about to join you. My family is begging me not to, but I actually miss short hair.

that’s crazy how your hair still curled even with the damage before😂💀

Wow yours turned out so good, I wanna cut my hair so bad but I’m scared I’ll look weird

I did the big chop last week and I’m loving it 💯at first I was like nah. But I had permed damaged and heat damaged hair 🧞‍♀️

You look extremely cute and i can see those curls wanting to pop after that BC.!

SHOOK you look so amazing

That's how mine looks😍

you should go and get it shaped professionally! get a tapered cut so it'll grow into a nice shape. i just did the same!

You Look So Gooooddd!

Brave soul doing this on camera but it’s pretty!

Id love to follow you on your hair journey!

i love it! it fits u so well.

I love it you look so much prettier too

You are beautiful at least you have natural curls, soooo many of us out here wish we had.. I would absolutely loooovvvve to have wash n go hair OMG! I know that was a major transition for you, but girrrl embrace your beautiful it ain't like you have so called nappy n problems with dry or brittle hair.. you did a nice job too🤗💞💪🏾💞

I love it !!!!!!!

No offense but im so happy i finally see someone with the same forehead shape as mines i barely have a forehead my edges damn near on my eyebrows

Heyyy we have the same curl pattern. I just cut my hair at thr beginning if April and ive been wearing sew-ins ever since.

What volume did you use ? Normally if your using a 40 vol with it being so high in chemicals it will eat and dry up your hair.

Parabéns pela força e pela atitude

Giirl where’d you get your jean jacket 😭😍

awwww your reaction thats how i felt cutting my hair

I love your big chop, it fits you

its so pretty!!! im thinking about doing mine

It looks really cute
