You decided to go natural by growing out your relaxer. Here are a few tips for caring for transitioning hair.

General Tips

• Realize your hair will shed.If you see some relaxed ends in your comb don't be alarmed it is part of the process.
• Choose styles that keep your hair handling to a minimum.This will help to keep breakage to a minimum. If you can avoid messing with your hair every day, do so. There are styles that last a week or more. And some that you can wash your hair with them in.

One of the first things that you will probably want to know when you are transitioning from a perm to a relaxer is, “How can I style my hair?” Don’t worry with this list you will run of relaxer to cut off before you run out of ways to style your hair.

I hate to break it to you but it is better to tell you now at the beginning. Ready? Ok. You will have to cut off your relaxer. You may choose to cut it all off at once. Or you may trim it gradually. But it will have to go.
