How to go from Relaxed Hair to Natural Hair

 

@valerietheeinfluencer
Transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair is a process that requires patience and care. Here are steps to help you go natural:

1. Decide on Your Goal: Determine whether you want to do a "big chop" (cutting off the relaxed hair to start fresh) or transition gradually by allowing your natural hair to grow while gradually trimming off the relaxed ends.

2. Deep Conditioning: Begin by deep conditioning your hair regularly to keep it healthy. Use a deep conditioner with moisturizing and strengthening properties.

3. Avoid Relaxers: Stop using relaxers or any other chemical treatments on your hair. This is a crucial step in allowing your natural texture to grow.

4. Protective Styles: Consider protective hairstyles like braids, twists, or weaves to minimize manipulation and protect your transitioning hair.

5. Moisturize: Keep your hair moisturized. Use leave-in conditioners, oils, and water-based moisturizers to prevent breakage.

6. Regular Trims: If you're transitioning gradually, trim your relaxed ends periodically to get rid of the damaged hair. This will prevent split ends from traveling up the hair shaft.

7. Low Manipulation: Minimize heat styling, brushing, and combing. Use wide-tooth combs or your fingers to detangle gently.

8. Healthy Diet: Eat a balanced diet with nutrients like protein, vitamins, and minerals, which are essential for hair growth.

9. Patience: Be patient; the transition can take time. Embrace your natural texture as it grows in.

10. Seek Professional Help: Consider consulting a natural hair specialist or stylist for guidance on your specific hair type and needs. If you want one on one help with your hair, you can use this link to contact me http://bit.ly/NaturalHairCoach



11. Protect from Environmental Damage: Protect your hair from harsh weather conditions, excessive sun exposure, and chlorine in pools.

12. Learn Your Hair: Understand your natural hair type and how to care for it. Different textures require different care routines.

13. Stay Positive: Stay positive throughout the process. It's a journey of self-discovery and embracing your natural beauty.

Remember, everyone's hair is unique, so what works for one person may not work for another. Tailor your approach to your specific hair type and needs, and don't be discouraged by setbacks. Over time, you'll see the beauty in your natural hair texture.

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
