Are Transitioning Kits Really Necessary?

After viewing a YouTube video, where the vlogger reviewed Carol's Daughter Transitioning Kit, I started to wonder, are transitioning kits really necessary?
You might be wondering, what are Transitioning Kits?

A transitioning kit is a collection of products that are geared towards helping people trying to go from relaxed hair to natural hair. These kits usually contain two or more products and are all products under the same hair product company. The products in these kits usually contain a cleansing agent, anti-breakage product and a styling product. 

Below are some Transitioning kits that are available to you:


Carol's Daughter Transitioning Kit 1-2-3

This kit contains the following:

"Purifying Low-Poo Cleanser: Nourish & Wash away excess build up
Renewing Scalp Spray: Exfoliate & Heal Scalp and Follicles

This kit claims to:
"Restorative conditioner moisturizes and repairs dry, lifeless, over-processed and damaged hair. Strengthening elixir protects hair from regular use of heated styling aids without weighing the hair down. It provides incredible shine while repairing and moisturizing hair.

    I think they are just clever marketing techniques since transitioning has become popular. There are lots of transitioners out there who dont know what products to use and dont want to spend a lot of money experimenting so they probably think the kit would be a good investment because it would be like a one stop shop and they probably think all their needs will be met by using the kit.

      I do see your point of view. I do feel, for my hair needs at least, that I need more than the kit has to offer. Maybe it is the Product Junkie in me, but I do like trying different products and not just keeping to one product brand.

    I agree with quiet storm. A kit may be a good starting point for someone who doesn't normally do thier own hair and wants to transition to natural hair. It does take a lot of trial and error when trying to find the right products, so a kit will be very beneficial to some, especially their wallets :-)

    No No No!!! I agree that it's just hair companies jumping on the natural bandwagon! I think intially, everyone is a PJ :)...after coming off the shock and awe of discovering something new, you realize what really works and doesn't and stick with those products.

    I wonder how/if my product selection and techniques will change after I BC...

      I always wonder the same thing too; if our product selections will change after BC. I look forward to reading on your blog about product selection and techniques changing after your BC at the end of the month. Please do keep us posted ;)

Does having lots of hair on your arm means long hair on your head?

Image
  No, having a lot of hair on your arms doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have long hair on your head. Hair growth patterns, thickness, and length on different parts of the body are influenced by factors such as genetics, hormones, and individual biology. For example: • Hair on arms is usually vellus or terminal hair, which grows to a certain length and then stops. • Scalp hair grows continuously in a cycle (anagen, catagen, telogen phases), allowing it to become much longer than body hair. While genetics may influence both arm and scalp hair characteristics, they don’t directly determine the length of one based on the other.

How to know your hair porosity

Image
Hair porosity refers to how well your hair absorbs and retains moisture. There are three main levels of porosity: low, medium, and high . To determine your hair porosity, you can use the following methods: 1. The Float Test • Take a few strands of clean, dry hair (no product or oil on it). • Fill a glass or bowl with room-temperature water. • Drop the hair strands into the water and wait 2–4 minutes. • Low porosity: Hair floats on top, as the cuticles are tightly closed and resist absorbing water. • Medium porosity: Hair slowly sinks to the middle, as it absorbs a balanced amount of water. • High porosity: Hair quickly sinks to the bottom, as it absorbs water easily due to open or damaged cuticles. 2. The Slip Test • Run your fingers up a strand of hair from the tip to the root. • Low porosity: Hair feels smooth, indicating tightly closed cuticles. • Medium porosity: Hair feels slightly textured, indicating healthy cuticles. • High porosity:...
