Transitioning

Transitioning from relaxed to natural hair is a process where you grow out your processed hair in favor of your natural texture before cutting off the processed or damaged ends off (known as the big chop). Transitioning is about learning to accept (and love!) the texture you were born with. Are you transitioning from relaxed to natural hair?

Lock-In Moisture:
Protect your hair’s natural oils with
a gentle moisturizing shampoo,
cleansing cream or conditioner.
Control Frizz: Frizz occurs
when humid air penetrates the hair
shaft causing it to swell. The secret
is to use anti-humectant hair styling
and moisture sealing products.
Refresh your Curls: The key
is to use products that add just the
right amount of moisture to revive
the shape of your curl.
