Transitioning Styles that WORK!

 
 


Styling can be such a struggle when dealing with two textures of hair. Your relaxed ends can prevent a beautiful style from turning out well. While transitioning, I struggled a lot with my twist outs but my braid outs always comes out perfect.  However, now that I am natural, my twists outs come out nice and I am still working on my braid outs.

What styles work well while Transitioning?

Cornrows Braid Out

Roll N Tuck

Bantu Knot Out



Flat Twist Out


Some other styles that work are roller sets, buns, and using extensions. While transitioning, I never used extensions because I didn't want to deal with my edges getting damaged and breaking.

      *Clapping!!* Keep it up. I only lasted till 1 year and....17 days. But I could have gone longer, I was just done and anxious to be fully natural. Glad I did on my term and my time.

      If you ever have any questions, please either direct tweet me or post on my Facebook page (DiscoveringNatural).

      Have a Happy New Year and Happy Transitioning!!

@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.
