Transitioning Tuesdays - Lets Get Started (7 Easy Steps)


Alot of you have posted questions on the Sunkissed Girlz Facebook Fan page about transitioning for relaxed to natural hair. Let me first say that there are TONS and TONS of websites and resources out there and you should feel free to choose the resources that is best for you. There will be a few that I really like listed below.

Here are some simple and easy steps to take with your transitioning process:

STEP 1: Stop putting chemical relaxers in your hair.
STEP 2: Deep condition your hair weekly and moisturize daily to keep your hair from becoming dry and brittle.
STEP 3: Find a hairstyle that is easy to manage and will accommodate the transition. Braids are a good transition hair style.
STEP 5: Trim your hair every four to six weeks to remove dead ends and gradually cut away at the relaxer.
STEP 6: Once you have at least two to three inches of newly grown hair, attempt to do the big chop.
STEP 7: Style your newly cropped hair with twists, small afros, scarves and other hair accessories.
