Pouf on Transitioning Hair


Two days ago, CurlyNikki had a post on "Hair Pouf Variations", I noticed that she did not have any pictures of transitioning ladies.  First of all, I was thinking that maybe I have to wait till I am fully natural before I can do a pouf style... but then again...maybe not.

I decided to give it a try.

Here is how I got this style.
  • On an old flat twist style, I lightly spritz my new growth ONLY with water and oil. (I did this because my new growth felt dry).
  • I moisturized my hair with Cantu Shea Butter Leave In
  • Gathering my hair from the back, as if I want to do a french twist, I secured my hair with a bobby pin
  • I gathered my hair until I got to my crown area.
  • Then the topmost area of my crown, I did a big two strand twist (see the bottom right picture) and looped the twist underneath the cascading front bangs hair.  This actually helped the pouf area to push forward and not lay flat.
  • I decided not to accessorize it with anything, but I could have easly put a bedazzled hair pin bling on the back.
Try out this style and let me know how you wear your pouf!

    I often utilize perm rods to achieve the braid-n-curl...which has been my fancy style. If I am only going to wear protective styles (95% of the time), I braid my hair (to the ends) after it's been washed and conditioned, and sleep on it...by morning, the hair is dry and I unbraid the hair (with a bit of my mix of castor and coconut oil) and put in the protective style. I think as a transitioner, it's even more vital to protect those ends (especially earlier on since we have so much more hair that is relaxed, vs natural)...so mine were never exposed unless I wore the braid out!

What to do if it seems like your natural hair is not growing

Image
@breezyspuffs (IG) If it feels like your hair isn’t growing, the issue may not actually be growth itself—hair grows about half an inch per month on average. The problem may be breakage, slow growth, or factors that hinder visible length retention. Here’s what you can do to promote healthier, stronger growth: 1. Check Your Routine for Breakage Causes: • Reduce heat styling: Excessive use of flat irons, curling irons, and blow-dryers can damage hair. Try air-drying or using lower heat settings and always use a heat protectant. • Limit chemical treatments: Frequent coloring, perming, or relaxing can weaken hair, leading to breakage. • Be gentle when detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb and start from the ends, working your way up to avoid pulling and snapping. 2. Moisturize Regularly: • Dry hair is more prone to breakage, so keep it hydrated. Use moisturizing conditioners, deep conditioners, or hair masks weekly, and consider leave-in conditioners or oils like coconut
