I feel the same way. I had big chopped a few years ago but didn’t take care of it how I should have. Just cut it again 2 days ago (not completely bald this time). And I feel like I have a friend doing it with me.

I totally agree. I just had to do a big chop on my daughter's hair because of severe heat damage. It's so much easier to wash, detangle and style. We literally just finished twisting her hair like Jess's last video.

Right now our hair is about the same length. 😍

Yesss I just cut my hair this month also 🙌🏾❤️❤️

I totally agree! I know what she means when she says short. Ppl need to put things in perspective already🙄

Thank you. People be doin the most. On her video telling her what to say. They need to knock it off.

So true

Exactly, some ppl in the hair community be toxic for no reason! She knows her own hair more than yall do its short

Her hair is not short omg

Lakisha Forrester but if you’re trying to reach a bigger audience then it’s smarter to use short hair.. I personally never searched awkward stage but that’s just me. I’ll have to look for some now because I’m curious 👀

Lakisha Forrester 😱 oh my gosh I can’t even imagine what you’re feeling!!! Do you watch nymcfly? She too cut off all her hair recently. I can’t remember if she recorded it or not but hopefully it’ll help get rid of some of the nerves. 🤗

Lakisha Forrester that is exactly why I’m done with heat! I rather straighten a wig before I send myself through another big chop. I totally understand! Good luck girl 🤗

@Lakisha Forrester you should check out Tomi Alisha. She shaved her head I want to say a little over a year ago. Her growth since then has been pretty significant.

I'm such a fan of your channel 😂😁

With everything that's going on in the world right now we need this positive energy, personality and sense of humor. You are inspiring alot of women to join you on your journey of natural hair. Keep being true to yourself, keep on doing what you're doing...and I love this style on you Jess!! 🤗❤❤

AMEN!!!!

Reesha Miller Would a shoe string cause a lot of tension cuz of the fabric? Or do you put oil on it?

Lick My Cocoa nope it doesn’t cause a lot of tension or damage, because you control how tight it is. And because it’s not elastic, it doesn’t constantly “pull” like stretch band would. And no I don’t use oil on my hair at all

That elastic headache ain't no joke Jess. Lol

I think I’m going to start using ribbon because when I used a shoe string, I felt it snatching some hair. Honestly, if you constantly do high puffs, buns, and ponytails regardless of what you’re using, it will cause tension and start to thin the front of your hair. That’s just my experience.

Whenever i attempt to do a puff, it feels like sometimes my hair is breaking as i tug the string to create the puff( even if my hair is damp and with gel around the perimeter ). And suggestions on how to avoid that ?

I'm pretty sure those people just mad and bald headed or something people stay getting mad at every little thing😂🤣🤣

maannnn this community is tiring.

Shelly Bey. The style is cute and I believe that's her point...I get it...

listentoo 1 right that is my point she said her hair IS SHORT and ppl wee correcting her like she can’t say that. So.

I said her hair ain't short. Her hair is past her shoulders! It is not short. She just has shrinkage like most Type 4s. A person with short hair can't make a ponytail. Ain't nobody upset. It's clearly a difference in perspective. Y'all quick to call people hateful. It's no different than people who claim 4C but hair look like 3c. Perspective!!!

Not "yea, goodbye ma'am" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 what are you using on them now...asking for myself

Thank you so much!
