The transition from relaxer to natural hair isn't easy, but people have been doing it for centuries. The most important thing to understand and accept is that it takes patience, dedication and consistency.
10 TIPS FOR THE TRANSITION: FROM RELAXED TO NATURAL HAIR; HOW TO MAKE THE TRANSITION SUCCESSFULLY WITHOUT A BIG HOOK
Don't be afraid to get started – the feel and look of your natural locks are worth the journey. I've helped many women embrace their true hair texture and I'm here to give you tips on how to go natural and encourage you along the way.
There are two ways to transition from relaxed or chemically treated hair to natural hair. The first is to do a big chop, which means you cut everything off. And the second is to stop relaxing or chemically treating your hair and let your natural hair grow from the bottom up.
If you go for the big chop, you can go from your natural hair to an officially 100% natural hairstyle in just a few minutes. Modern TWA hairstyles look spectacular and it is the fastest way to go natural. It's also the hardest mentally because you have to emotionally detach yourself from how long your hair is now. Besides, if you prefer to maintain your length through the perm, you still need to prepare yourself mentally as it will take some time for your natural curls to take shape.
