The shape is GIVING 🩷

I love that you’re not giving up on wash and goes. Looking forward to seeing your new hair journey 🤍🤍

I love the shape on you ❤ Your aunt did a great job!

So we all big chopping lol this is the 2nd YouTuber I’ve seen do this & my haircut appointment is next Friday 😮‍💨💈

I'm rooting for you! I hope you have/continue having all the hair support you need.

Omg… so many of us have big chopped. Your hair looks great.

Love this look. Hair, glasses, lip color, and earrings are all stunning

As a person who's been suffering from SB since 17 (I'm now 32), I have some advice for you. Oils are not our friends. Unfortunately, it exacerbates our and I had to learn this the hard way. Second, keep 3-4 medicated shampoos in rotation. Unfortunately, our scalp gets used to any medicated shampoo you use for too long and it stops working. I have 3 shampoos into rotation (including the one that was prescribed for me). Third, you'll get a flare up every time the season changes. Where I am from, it's currently 91 degrees and the heat causes my flare ups to be worse. Lastly, get a salicylic acid hair spray, like the one from the sulfur brand. It's the only thing that keeps my flare ups and scratching in check. Sometimes I would scratch my scalp until it bleeds. This really helps the itching and it keeps your scalp flake free; P.S. it's best to saturate your scalp with the medicated shampoo first and let it sit for 5-10 mins so it can help soften the build up on the scalp so you can easily shampoo them away when you get into the shower. Hope this helps!! 🙂

Glad to see that you finally came to the conclusion that many others have and are back on a healthy hair journey! Natural Reign just recently big chopped to get rid of colour, and she's using WNGs to grow out her hair again. I think her regimen might be useful for you.

With SD, I dealt with mine by pre-pooing by spraying my scalp with ACV and water. Massage it in your scalp and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then wash, condition, and go. Stay away from a ton of oils on your scalp and wash at least once a week. Hope that helps.

The way my jaw fell to the ground but you look amazing 😍

Temperature of the hair dryer and the amount of products we use. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge.

All of us can’t handle oil on our scalps btw. Due to our methods of hair care and the over assumption that our hair innately dry, oiling our scalps is very common. I can say when I was young and natural, my mother greased my scalp and it didn’t find it uncomfortable, but she also only washed my hair maybe 1-2/monthly. When I was relaxed, I still rarely wet my hair and oiling was very helpful. However when I went natural and washed my hair daily, oiling was no longer feasible, and even irritating. So of course I experimented in going a week without adding oil, just to find out…I now had a naturally oily scalp without relaxers. Which I found so intriguing because it simply doesn’t look the same on non-textured or less dense hair. There’s no weigh-down whatsoever, it never ‘looked’ oily—which is why most non-textured people wash their oily hair, it practically looks wet and feels very greasy. It still wasn’t making its way down my hair shaft of course, but in learning my hair, I also found that it didn’t need to. My hair simply wasn’t as dry as I was made to believe growing up and getting into natural hair as an adult. I basically just needed washing and conditioning on a regular basis, which I never would’ve discovered with relaxed hair. I had heard here and there that non-textured people were suggesting that oily scalp people wash their hair less often, and their oil production will adjust naturally. For some, that advice worked and for others it didn’t matter, they were still oily. I didn’t think for one second that could also apply to type 4 hair, but after my experience I’ve become very curious. I’d really like to see some research on how water exposure affects/correlates with scalp sebum production.

OMG I KNEW IT. Last week me: “Brittany hasn’t posted in a while and was kinda stressed in the last video, SHE BIG CHOPPED I l know it!” Congrats! I’m a little over year into my 4th big chop.

Ohhhhhhhhhh you chopped it down 🔥🔥🔥🔥 and still serving great look

I’m so proud of you for taking this BIG step!!! BTW you look AMAZING with short hair! I love it!!! Great job! Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! ❤

GASP You cut it off! But you look so fucking fab with the short cut and your curls look so juicy and immaculate. You also look regal with the head wrap (maybe consider that as an aesthetic choice?) I’m sorry that damage forced you into a big chop as opposed to it being purely a styling option, but I’m also glad that you’re starting anew. Again, you look really amazing with your hair as is and I can’t wait to see discover new ways to have fun with your hair.

Exprés’ inventors came from Olaplex. It addresses one of the bonds that Olaplex doesn’t treat with their line. So it is the same methodology as Olaplex. Your hair is CUTE❤❤. But yes please stay away from curly cuts. Cutting one strand at a time = ragged hair😂😂

It’s sad that all the ladies who were going to these curly cut stylist and following their advice have now had to big chop. I saw Rosie Amelia mentioned Epres bond repair in her recent video. She had to big chop from following BGC method. It’s interesting you mention about curly cuts not addressing health needs of the hair because Shelly and Rosie got dragged for saying this a year ago when they found damage. It’s sad you had to cut your hair because from what I can remember you were on a hair growth journey , It saddens me so many women were misled. You definitely got this and I am cheering you on, you also look beautiful with short or long hair.
