If you're like me and in the process of
transitioning, or you haven't quite made up your mind about turning your
relaxed hair into a chemical-free halo of curls, you're not alone. Ask any
woman who's traded in her no-lye kit for a Tangle beauty; I know she’ll tell
you that you have a lot to learn. This is actually the least of your worries,
finding the right resources to assist you on your transitioning journey can be
very pleasurable.
There are different ways to transition:
1.
CUT IT
ALL OFF! - this is the fastest and simplest way to get your natural hair back.
If you have no problem with sporting a short cut, then this is the method for
you. All this process requires is about ten to fifteen minutes and a pair
of scissors. It is also important that your learn about your hair texture
and pattern.
- GROWING IT
OUT – It’s an effective way for many of the people who are too chicken for
the big chop. This method is done by allowing the relaxer to grow out and
when a manageable length has been attained, the relaxed portion is then cut
off. The hair is properly treated and ends cut to ensure that no more of
the hair is damaged.
3.
BRAIDING
– This is a very common choice for those transitioners that have chosen the
growing out route. Braided in human or synthetic hair is worn to
keep their relaxed pieces and gradually grow the natural portions out with
braids. There are several types of braiding styles such micros, twists, corn
rows and pixies.
