There are plenty of options for you to explore while transitioning. I personally went to my stylist every two weeks and she helped me through my transition, but not everyone does that :). Here are a few options:
Air-Drying your hair – a quick and easy way to retain moisture and elasticity in the hair, as well as blend new growth.
Blow-Drying/Flat Ironing – This is what I did. My stylist blow dried my hair and flat ironed it. This helped smooth new growth. This is a Great option for those who want to transition without looking like they are “transitioning”
Braid outs and twist outs– this involves braiding, twisting, or Bantu knotting the hair. A great way to have a soft, textured look.
Setting you hair (Roller setting, rod setting, etc.) – This is a great way to blend the two textures of your hair while transitioning. I wore my hair like in rod sets several times through my transition. This way is a bit more time-consuming but one of the healthiest ways to transition
Extensions and Weaves – I know of many transitioners who wear weaves to help aid in their tranitioning process.
Going to your Stylist – many stylists will help you transition with the use of healthy hair products, treatments and techniques.
I hope this will give you a brief overview of your options for transitioning! More info to come Happy Monday Chicas!!! How was your weekend? Are you transitioning or did you big chop? What are your experiences? Weigh in!!!!
