Hey Dolls!!!
Transitioning is a long and HARD process especially when you are trying to embrace your new growth of hair. Prior to me transitioning I experienced alot of breakage, because I relaxed my hair so often... especially in the middle of my head.
I was SO OVER my thin, stringy hair so I went cold turkey without the creamy crack! BOY IT WAS HARD!! I was a long term transitioner because I just couldnt let all my hair....
The first rule if you are going to be a long term transitioner (meaning you will not cut off all of your relaxed hair) is to START TAKING CARE OF YOUR NEW GROWTH AND OLD GROWTH. Transitioning is the most crucial time for your hair because you are now working with two textures. You have your beautiful curls and then you have your dead, stringy, relaxed ends. Now what I did was rocked protective styles such as braids, half wigs and twist in order to keep my hands out of my hair.
Here are pics to show my struggle!! As you can see I was at this point almost natural but slowly trimming my relaxed ends.
So as you can see ladies I KNOW THE STRUGGLE!! It's really, really hard to transition but this is the best time to learn what products work for your hair and what doesnt work for you.
Another tip that helped me transitioned are blogs and vloggers!!!
Here's a list of my favorite bloggers
These ladies helped me learn so much about natural hair care, and even though their hair is GORGEOUS!! They are the ones that kept me inspired to keep going with transitioning even though I wanted to give in and slap in the creamy crack!
LOL!! I thought this was hilarious but it's true actually.....
Love and Light!!
