How I Transitioned to Natural | Healthy Hair Journey

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hey beauties!
After a ton of requests I have finally put together my full healthy hair journey, showing you how I transitioned from relaxed, brittle, heat-damaged hair, to full and healthy curls!
Through the process of transitioning I learned SO much and I hope that my trial and error can help even just one person along their journey of embracing their natural curls in the smoothest way possible. My natural hair journey was most definitely a JOURNEY, but it was 100% worth the time and effort. If you have any questions feel free to leave comments below and I will do my best to answer them all!

    Molly Delfuego Ah yes I agree! My mother sure didn't. When I was born in 2004. Then by the time I was 3, there wasn't really any videos about what to do with natural hair and what it, then decided to perm it. Now I'm currently trying to transition, I did the big chop and I get bullied for it but it's all fine because when I get my hair back they'll wish they were me! Haha

    My daughter is Mexican with black and my ignorance I ended putting a relaxer on her hair. I only did it twice when she was 2 but now she is 6 and her hair is getting better and healthy. So don't be upset with your mom some times we just don't have guidance. 😔😔 also I am here to learn how to keep her hair healthy so when she gets older she will have the healthiest hair and don't blame me.

    +Miriam Aguilar I can't imagine what it was like for her to try to care for my hair before having KZread and blogs for guidance so I know she was doing her best! That's awesome you're looking for resources, as long as you keep chemicals away and heat off her hair (as much as possible) she'll be in great shape! Keep the pictures of her transitioning hair to show her when she asks you for a flat iron because at some point we all want to play around with heat!

    I am going natural becuz I want my hair longer and healthier. The reason why I always got a perm and relaxers because I go to a school with mostly white people. I just wanted to fit in cause everyone has straight hair. I am more confident now with embracing my culture and hair. that's why I want to go natural.

The only reason I wanted one was to look like my mom because she always had a relaxer. I’ve never experienced my natural hair and I hated it when I was a toddler but now I’m in love with curls and I want to go on a hair journey going natural because I want to experience my true hair.

    Usually when people go natural what persons usually do is mix olive and coconut oil together and braid it into your hair and leave it on for a full 24 hours. (It must be totally submersed in it) the next day, your curls would be on POINT.

I’m also tired of always feeling bound to have to get a relaxed to make my hair look presentable. So, I wanna change. I want to transition for my mental state, spiritual state, and physical state.

    When I was from 1-6 my hair was this golden gorgeous color, wavy and curly.. but then my mom didn’t know how to care for it and it got damaged along the way.. so I started straightening from 12 years old to 16. Luckily I didn’t straighten everyday, only on Sundays the day before school so my hair wasn’t severely damaged. And now I’ve come to love curly hair and have had it natural for 1 year now. Best decision ever! I love and am in love with my curls :)

    Amina Marie Thank you so much for your comment. As I'm writing this, I'm listening to your video again. I went thru alot of what you experienced growing up perm failures/burnouts/thinning city. So I don't trust salons for those reasons. If I mess up, I can't get mad with anyone. Anyway you said that you have a blog post so I'm going to see if your TWA tips are there & learn. I'm also shocked that my hair would curl. I was told to do finger coils for a year to train my hair. I do coils during the week. I'm still trying to perfect wash n gos on the weekend, lol. I have perm rods but I think that they're too small. But I'll look at your perm rods video. I am just wondering as it grows if my curls/coils would loosen because they're tight and not like I thought they would. So thanks for being a listener. If you have any other tips please don't hesitate to let me know. Happy Holidays to you and your family

    I have the same problem at the top of my head. I have to help the curls by adding a gel and twisting it. I believe it's an elasticity issue. I'm currently 1 year and almost 4 months post relaxer. I'm definitely going to try the flexi rods and perm rods. Practice makes perfect because I cannot do hair to save my life! I just learned how to flat twist. 😬🙌🏼

    Jay C. either your hair is getting used to your moisturizer, or whatever you're using to seal is not strong enough ! You should also check out and see what hair porosity you have and if that may have something to do with it

    Jay C. I think you should definitely invest in a moisturizer and sealant! My reccomendation for a moisturizer is Cantu coconut curling cream or Shea moisture jamaican black castor oil styling lotion. You can get either of those at target or walgreens. For a sealant, you should try any bottle of oils that you can find at the same places. Hope this helps!

    Ohhh i love your curls! I'm transitioning too, but i went through the braids path since i have different lenghts, and i don't wanna big chop it bc it would be too short (i'm talking bout over-the-shoulder curls versus 2inch strands 😔) i wanna try and set free my curls, but that length dif kind of stops me

  • @AminaMarie

    @AminaMarie

    7 жыл бұрын

    +Agus Joy Thats a good start! Sometimes braids can weigh down curls a bit and be tougher on your roots so when you want to take a break, try some flexi rod or perm rod sets so you can still have nice curls and get used to the look. Just keep trimming off the damage as you go and then you'll never have to do the BIG big chop 😊 Trust me I didn't want the super short hair either, my head wasn't made for it! 🙉

    +g0ldenbeth beauty awesome, that's a great resolution! For those straight pieces holding you back, trimming them away slowly is a great way to get you to your goal without making you uncomfortable with a shorter length. I started by trimming one inch to see how it looked, and when I felt I could go a little shorter, I cut it again until I finally felt comfortable getting rid of all of it. It's all about what makes you comfortable so don't be afraid to take your time or dive in 😊

    So I've watched this video twice now and I absolutely LOVE it. I have been going back and forth over the last few months whether or not I wanted to transition to the curly girl style. I have never had a relaxer but from years of coloring and straightening I have a pretty significant amount of heat damage. Which has had a lot to do with me not going forward with this. But after watching this and learning some more about my hair I think I am ready! So thank you for being the needed push and inspiration I needed!!

    Syniya Morris thank you!! And many of us have multiple hair textures on our heads so the best thing to do is just work with it instead of against it! Shaping it with a hair cut that can show off the length and textures working together is a great way to do that. I usually point people to @stylefeen on Instagram who has 2 fairly different hair textures and rocks it. Hope that helps!

    It sounds like you just need to find the right products! When I don't use any products my hair dries with hardly any definition and just ends up poofy, but having a good curling cream and gel together makes a WORLD of a difference. If you're 3c similar to me, check out You Be-Natural Curl Shaping Custard (or another curling cream of your choice) and a strong hair gel and see if that helps!
