Trim Gradually
 As new growth comes in, gradually trim off the chemically treated ends to help ease the transition and prevent a stark contrast between textures.
Deep Condition Often
This step is crucial for restoring moisture and elasticity to your new growth while dealing with processed ends.
Minimize Heat Styling
Heat can further stress and damage transitioning hair. Opt for heatless styles to protect your new growth.
Explore Protective Styles
Styles like twists, braids, and updos can protect your hair from manipulation and damage while transitioning.
Scalp Care
A healthy scalp fosters healthy hair growth. Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos to cleanse without stripping natural oils and consider incorporating scalp massages with nourishing oils to stimulate blood flow and hair growth.
Be Gentle
Handle your hair gently, especially where the natural hair meets the treated hair, as this demarcation line is particularly vulnerable to breakage. Use a conditioner with good slip and a wide-tooth comb or fingers to gently work through knots and tangles.
Patience is Key
Remember, transitioning is a process that can take several months to a year, depending on how quickly your hair grows and how much length you’re willing to keep.
Conclusion
Transitioning to natural hair is a rewarding journey towards embracing your true self. It requires patience, care, and learning what works best for your unique hair texture. By focusing on moisture, gentle handling, and protective styling, you’ll gradually uncover the beauty of your natural hair.
