Transitioning: Relaxed to Natural

Five(5) ways to transition

✨ Trim your hair when necessary
If you're wondering how to transition to natural hair without chopping it all off, a gradual trimming of your hair ends is necessary to remove the relaxed hair. This can be done monthly as hair growth differs from individuals.

✨ Condition your hair regularly
A regular conditioning of your hair is essential to avoid hair breakage which would be bad for a transitioning hair. Transitioning hair are usually delicate. 

✨ Choose a protective hairstyle
While transitioning, choose a protective hairstyle like cornrows, box braids, crochet that can be carried for weeks to allow new growth of hair. This also allows your hair to breathe. 

✨ Avoid heat styling
During the process of transitioning to natural hair, avoid heat styling your hair. Stretching, curling or blow-drying your hair shouldn't be entertained. After your wash-day, towel-dry your hair.

✨ Exercise patience
The journey of transition to natural hair can't be achieved in a day. It takes time ranging from weeks to a year(s) before you start seeing changes. All these depend on the hair growth of the individual.
