You made me excited about this transition. I’ve been transitioning for over 1 year and I wear protective styles most of the time and I think I’m going to be that person that’s gonna be looking crazy at the end. Thanks so much for this video. I gotta learn my hair and be happy with it.
Alexanderia Fields yes!! Start taking some breaks in between protective styles to get to know your hair 🤗 it’ll help you feel more comfortable at the end of it all!
I appreciate the calm tone, this made me want to listen. I feel like you were truly sincere and motivating in a nurturing way. Thanks for the tips. Good job!
I’m currently three months fully natural. I transitioned cause I did not want to do the big chop I didn’t wanna look ugly ya know? 😂 but it def was one of the best decisions I ever made! I love my curls ❤️👑 and love when I see other black women go natural. Your hair is pretty though☺️ team natural
It was easy for me to throw the heat away. I keep braids and protective styles in my hair and keep my hair moisturized, my hair grows pretty fast and my coils, yes coils are starting to pop!
I'm in highschool and I'm trying to start transitioning my hair but I don't know what products or what schedule I need to stick to,to keep it moisturized
Jewell Johnson there are great brands like Camille Rose Naturals, Shea Moisture, Creme of nature. You want to pick a wash day once a week and during the week when it feels like it's getting dry, it's time to refresh it by spraying it with some water and use a moisturizing cream.
I’m natural in the back of my head but the front is still transitioning I know how to do my hair but it just won’t grow in the front the sides are curly the back is curly but the front and middle are still wavy/straight and it’s getting really aggravating what should I do ????? Please help! 😩
Gigi Feaster I don't think that I can give you answers to exactly what the cause is. Do you use direct heat at all? 🤔 we all have different textures throughout our hair so idk if it's that or an elasticity issue. Make sure you're deep conditioning weekly.
Gigi Feaster being that you use direct heat, it can possibly be heat damage that's caused that part to lose its elasticity. I would say stay away from it.
Gigi Feaster I have the same issue. I have a couple inches of straight areas in the front and sides. I just consistently twist out to make all of my hair look the same texture
I stopped relaxing my hair in January and I'm afraid to cut my hair. The natural hair has grown at least 5 inches but it's growing really slow should I cut off the relaxed ends? And will it be good if I keep my hair in box braids till I'm at a comfortable length?
Teala Foster cut it off when you're ready. If you don't think you'll be comfortable with the length, just keep transitioning. Box braids are helpful and give you a nice break but I personally wouldn't keep them in longer than 4 weeks.
It may seem like your hair is growing slow but it's right on track. The average persons hair grows a quarter to half an inch a month. 🤗 just keep going and keep it moisturized!
Girl...cut it...straight hair vs curly hair...snap, crackle, and pop...they are arch enemies and stay creating tangles. It is a lot of work keeping the straight and curly hair separated and untangled. A protective style is good but it should not be used too long without proper hair hygiene. It is important to keep bacteria, oils, sweat, dust and dirt to a minimum. Plus stinky hair is unattractive. Two strand flat twists sets are a good go-to to manage and train your hair to behave the way you want it. Bantu knots are also good for training your curls as your hair gets longer; larger sections lead to larger curls while smaller sections lead to tighter curls. I hope this helps. Be happy and natural.
no box braids baby girl only protective hairstyles and don't chop your relaxed hair it will grow all you need to have is patience with your hair and one thing NEVER EVER BE LAZY FOR/TO DO YOUR HAIR *NEVER*
I really love this video it gave me so much more insight on what’s to come when moving forward on my journey, not just the hair it self but what I might feel or think at times 🤔, thank you!!💙💜💙
hiiii im starting off as well 2 months only sighhh, anyways what i meant to say is great tips but in terms for the braids u can oil it every two days n wash it if u have singles but normal cornrows just oil it this helps alot
When I was little I relaxed my hair I begged my mum because I wanted shaky long hair. Since I've cut my hair it has gotten soomuch better, its growing curls be popping and now I can put it in a bun which I am so happy about it.
I'm relaxed im planning on transitioning i went 3 months without a relaxer but I'm nervous and im planning on keeping my length any tips on trying not to tear any relaxed pieces
Jo Jo the best thing for you to do is slowly trim away the relaxed hair. It's inevitable that you will experience breakage. The tips I've mentioned in the video about keeping your hair moisturized and detangling only with a good conditioner that has tons of slip are great ways to minimize on breakage.
Please consider finger detangling with oil on dry hair before you shampoo. OIls are great for slip, protect hair from hygral fatigue, and make detangling so much easier and faster than detangling on wet hair with conditioner. The hair is most fragile when wet, so you might be breaking your hair off in the long term if you detangle when wet. I resisted the prepoo for years, but I was so wrong to think it would add time to my wash day. Prepoo and finger detangling with fractionan=ted coconut oil shaved 1 hour from wash day. Use any oil you prefer. Also, hair porosity is the most important thing to learn about your hair. Once you know your porosity, you can find products that work for you and avoid becoming a product junkie.
I tried finger detangling and will never do it again 😂 lmao it’s not for me. It in fact does take longer and honestly, I don’t get breakage from the detangling when wet with conditioner. Likely because I’m gentle and not just ripping through my hair. But we all have our preferred methods. That’s why finding what works for you as an individual is so important regardless of the endless information out there. And yes, knowing your porosity is key in understanding what products can work for you. I have low porosity. Thank you so much for your suggestions. I’m glad you found a routine that’s working for you 🤗
Great helpful information, I'm 2 years in and finally getting the hang of it. You're absolutely right it takes a lot of patience,time, and care. Thanks😀
I have been on this transitioning journey for a year and a month. I wash my hair once a week at the salon. I deep condition every week also at the salon. Then I do rollers and a quick blow dry. And I cut my perm tips every month. I never use weaves nor use the flat iron. My hair is strong and healthy. Do you agree with my regimen? I’m from Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 Thank you for the tips
Laura Navarro roller sets are a great style to help transition. If you believe that your routine is working for you, then I can’t tell you not to continue. I personally chose to not use heat and start doing styles that I would be doing once fully natural. But do what works for you.
Laura Navarro Yes, Yes, and YES! Same here- been transitioning for a couple months now. I do your EXACT routine- except I go to the salon every 2. I do the roller sets too- with the DOMINICAN Chicas!! I’m jelly- wish I could go every week like you tho 👍🏼👍🏼😉
I absolutely loved your video, and I'm going to definitely take your advice, which is great advice. I'm already excited about getting excited to do this!
I have box braids in my hair all the time and i kept it moisturized and with oils and also washed my braids and deep condition them and within a month my hair is touching my middle back
I can keep my box braids in for up to ten weeks and I usually wash and moisturize my hair. I think caring for box braids is really down to the technique
Sebo M yes, I always tell people to listen to their hair and do what’s best for them. You have to learn what works and what limits you can push. For me personally, I just don’t like keeping styles in that long. But if it works for you, and you don’t experience really bad breakage and shedding, then go for it 🤗
Great Video ! I havent had a perm in almost 4 years, but i just got heat damage in April of this year, so im transitioning again. I needed this refresher! Lol. Its been so long girl...
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I appreciate this video you did it without fluff, you were to the point with real tips. Again THANK YOU!!! I am coming up on a year transitioning and you gave me some tips I will try. I need to get on a steamer... Blessings! You have a new subbie!!
Crystal F. Thanks girl!! So glad that you found it to be helpful 💜 keep up the good work with your transition 💪🏽 I have a wash day tips & tools video where I share the steamer and other tools that help make wash days easier 🤗
Great, great video. Articulate, realistic, insightful, real. Thank you. I think my hair is the same is yours, and you inspire me. And BTW, pink is definitely your color.
Aaaa.. I’ve straightened my hair for a whole month once.. And I didn’t use any heat protectant which either you use it or not you still have risk of having heat damage.. And mine is bad. It’s curly until collar bone to shoulder length. I’m gonna start to transition back because I miss my curls bro.. Anyway I just found your channel and thanks so much for all these tips girl ❤️
LeAndrea 😲😰 I'm sure you freaked out! And yes, even when using heat protectants you are still taking a risk of possibly getting heat damage. So now during this transition you stay away from the heat girl! We need your curls poppin again 🤗
I do everything except protective style . I wear my hair down or pulled back most of the time. I freakin love it I never looked better. I hope I'm doing ok wearing it down.
While I was transitioning I straightened my hair a lot, almost every single week and a few touch ups every other day. (WITHOUT ANY HEAT PROTECTANT) However when I washed my hair every week, I saw that my curls were always still intact. When I did cut my permed ends after holding onto them for a year, my curls didn’t seem to have any heat damage. I haven’t used heat for a year and some months now, and I wonder if my hair is just heat trained🤔?
Straightening your hair consistently can change your curl pattern by causing your hair to lose elasticity. Everyone's hair is different so you just never know if you'll get damage or not until it happens. It's all just a risk lol
You can keep braids in for up to 3 months if you wash it every two weeks oil it once’s a week and deep condition each wash your hair will grow its working for me
Khadedra Cozier yes, there are ways to keep braids in longer and make them last depending on the style. But synthetic hair can still be very drying to their hair. So everyone is different and have to figure out the best for their hair 🤗
Khadedra Cozier glad to hear that it’s been working for you and your growth. That’s great. 🤗 I could use a 3 month break from doing my hair right now 😩😂
So I've been natural my whole life but was addicted to straightening + adding in clip ins ha. So im assuming I can treat my hair as if I'm transitioning too? I still have a lot of curls but it has gotten shorter from breakage and straightened pieces. I'm trying to give it 3 months and then snip about 1.5 inches off where it needs it? Keep doing that until its all gone? humongous chop not needed? I'm staying ultra moisturized (especially on the ends), deep conditioning, sulfate free washing no heat. BTW nice delivery very sincere and informative video. Thanks
Portia VL yes, in this case you’ll be transitioning from heat damage oppose to from relaxed hair. Stay away from the heat and do like you mentioned, keep taking care of it and slowly start clipping away the straight ends. Good luck on your journey 🤗
I'm starting my transition and I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for products if you're someone on a budget? Like Shampoos, Conditioners, and moisturizers. Also did you order the wig you mentioned online, if so where? I'd love to have a wig option during this journey. Thank you so much for this. I loved your tips! :)
Shiipty I have videos on my top 5 shampoos and deep conditioners. There are some affordable ones in there. As far as in moisturizers, any of them that I use in a tutorial are some of my favorites! The wig that I had was a cheap wig from my local beauty supply store. Hope that helps 🤗
Hey girl I must watch clip and I've started transition my hair for 2 weeks and I've been using coconut oil for start I want to know does it work for transition
Love this video !!! Will these tips help for heat damaged and bleach / color damaged hair ??? I just started without heat for about a month and have been doing twist outs because my curls are stringy at the moment
Briatney Portillo yes! You can use these tips to help you transition from heat and color damaged hair. Continue to stay away from heat and just keep up your regimen.
i did perm my hair and its been like 6 month and i don't know if the perm goes i wanna go natural when i 6 year old i was having those bam curls but i was in love with straight hair so when wanna do something you are gonna do it 💔
I cut all my perm out a month ago ...well at least I think. I still have some straight ends but they do curl up when I put eco styler on . My question is do u think the werid straight ends is just how my hair is or do I need to go get it cut down some more?
Lyasia In The City cool beans ☺️ thank u. Oh , Can I go to a stylist to find out what hair type I am ? So I can learn how to take care of my hair. Or is it a trick I can do to find out?
Victoria Rainey-Hires you don't need to go to a stylist to tell you your hair type. Hair type doesn't determine what you do to take care of it. Do a porosity test to learn what porosity you have. Much more important than hair type/curl pattern. That will help you determine which products are better for you. But the usually cleanse, deep condition, moisturize...all of that is across the board for everyone. Regardless of hair type.
Lyasia In The City okay cool🤗 thank u very much! I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out lol cause I don't know what's going on . Thank u for educating me🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much for the excellent tips. I have never been properly taught how to do my hair. I have not had a relaxer in over 10+ years. I have ALWAYS washed my hair, blow dried, and then straightened it every.single.week. I have had a few Brazillian Blowout treatments in the past 5 years with the most recent one being this past January to help tame my frizz. Am I considered a "natural" since there are no chemicals in my hair or am I still in the transition phase? My hair when wet has a thick layer or new growth followed by straight raggedy hair. I am not a fan of protective styles, wigs, weaves, or anything else pulling my hair or scalp. How can I grow my hair out and throw away the straightening tools for good?
thank you for this 💖 my new growth curls only stay curly for the first day after I wash it and the next day its all out and straight, how can I fix this?
coffeenatednix for me, I would wear my hair is braid outs because that was the only thing that blended the textures best. It doesn't last long, but that's just what it is. I would rebraid it after like the 3rd day.
I know im very late, but i stopped relaxing my hair last august, and i have curly hair down to my shoulders and the rest is straight ends. I want to cut the straight stragglers off, but im afraid its going to shrink up. Also, my hair doesnt really grow fast, its takes so long to grow. I deep condition my hair atleast once every 2 weeks, i brush my hair in the shower. I use products that keep my hair moisturized. What am i not doing that i should be doing?
LittleDebbie I plan to make a video of products that worked for me but keep in mind that everyone's hair is different so what I used may not always work for the next person. Also, I have a few videos on my channel from when I was transitioning and show the products that I used.
Yannie thank you. I actually do very little of my editing at this time. I'm very lucky to have a boyfriend with a production company, @trumagicnation 😊
So I’m African and our hair has beautiful hard-ish texture. And I’m trying to transition but I’m so conflicted. How should I dry my hair when I wash it? How do I keep my curls in? Everything😩
Ruth Uwimbabazi while transitioning I always let me hair air dry. I mainly did braid outs. So after washing my hair, I would put my leave in and cream into my hair, braid it, then let it air dry over night. The next day I’ll take the braids out.
Jolisceia Momon I have a few videos on my channel sharing my favorite products like shampoos, deep conditioners, etc. You can check those out and try any of those 🤗
Good god! I wish I saw your video like earlier part of this year cause ohh my God ohh my God everything you say not to do I did and guess what I look like a chilla pet but I'm gonna rock my chilla pet because and nobody got time to be looking like two inches here two inches I got the roll with it but thanks for the video I am a subbing now.
love this video!! i’m going natural soon and I have a question: should I wash my hair once a week or is that too often? and also after washing my hair can I just put in like a bun and let it air dry?
Kiara Alston washing once a week is fine. That’s what I did while transitioning. Also, wearing a bun is fine. It’s really up to you on how you choose to style your hair. Just make sure you’re properly moisturizing your hair. Never just put it in a bun without putting in your leave in and a moisturizing cream to keep your hair from breaking/shedding. Good luck on your journey 🤗
Hey. I don't know much about taking care of my hair. My mother did all the work for me, but now she's no longer with us. its just my dad and i, and i doubt he knows anything about taking care of your hair. I have relaxed my hair my whole life amd now i finally want to go natural. but i don't know how to do that. i understand your video but i don't know how it will help me considering i don't have the tools and products, neither do i know which are the right tools and products. Can you please help me
Keikanetswe Ngozi Hi!! Starting your transition is easy. All of the tips mentioned in the video are literally the tips that I used while transitioning. Just make the conscious decision to stay away from relaxers and heat. Then just find styles that work for you. Braid outs, twist outs, rod sets, buns. Literally just follow the tips I gave. That'll get you started. I have a few tutorials on my channel of styles that you can do to your hair during this transitioning phase. You should check them out.
Raqueela ewing I kind of use both. I guess it just depends on how I feel at the moment 🤷🏽♀️😩 I think I part mostly with my fingers but at times I do use the tail of a rat tail comb.
My hair was EXACTLY like your at 3:11. I cut off 6 inches and my curl pattern came back but I put it back in a bun and straight ends came back. I'm old and don't have the energy to use heat. So I don't. But my ends are wavy and are on their way back to being straight. I cut my ends about every 2 months. What do you think the problem might be? Thanks.
Good Morning, First I love this video, straightforward, and I've began transitioning 9 months ago, last perm 09/20/17, finally cut off the majority of the perm in April and refuse to put any heat and harmful chemicals. I'm interested in item you have on from Amazon, can you give me more detail and what it does actually. Thank you and yes I subscribed, lol
Lyasia In The City, thank you so much for responding, I feel special now. The product 2 in 1 facial hair steamer, what does that do?? Sounds interesting, love to know more. Also doing my 2nd perm rod set pray for me!! 😁!! The struggle is real, thank you again❤❤
Hey Lyasiainthecity, I had one more question I suffer from dry scalp and keeping it moisturized has been a big issue, now since summer, it's not too bad but when winter rolls, just call me frosty the snowman, any suggestions I can start now, thanks as always😀
My hair is naturally straight and i want to grow it into curls. I have started my natural hair transition journey (3months) cos it was chemically damaged. I'm trying to get some products to help with that process, so do you mind recommending any product for straight to curls transition?
hey im from Botswana and im starting to transition. i have one question. if yur hair is shorter at the back what can i do or apply to make it the same length as at the front?
Gorata Lizzy Moruki hi!! The only way to make it the same length would be to cut the front. If it’s significantly uneven, maybe you should see a hair stylist to have them shape up your hair.
Keep going!! It can be frustrating and a lot of work but you can do it. My go to was braid outs because it was the only style that gave me the best results and was less stressful. I personally didn’t blow dry my hair. I would wash and deep condition it then braid it while wet and let it air dry. You got this 💪🏽
Audriunna Elzie heat damage can’t be reversed. It can just be cut away at whatever pace you choose. I typically wash my hair every 5-7 days but you do what works best for you. I have 2 videos on my channel sharing my favorite shampoos and conditioners 🤗
Am i weird for looking forward to wash day
XxSnowNinja lol these days I sometimes look forward to it
Once u get a regiment and it works wash day becomes a lot easier.
I always love wash days
Lol wash days r the best
I do too it's actually fun

Keya Meishawn oh no ☹️ heat damage sucks 👎🏽 but in glad that this video can help you get back on track 🤗
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I appreciate this video you did it without fluff, you were to the point with real tips. Again THANK YOU!!! I am coming up on a year transitioning and you gave me some tips I will try. I need to get on a steamer... Blessings! You have a new subbie!!
Crystal F. Thanks girl!! So glad that you found it to be helpful 💜 keep up the good work with your transition 💪🏽 I have a wash day tips & tools video where I share the steamer and other tools that help make wash days easier 🤗
Great, great video. Articulate, realistic, insightful, real. Thank you. I think my hair is the same is yours, and you inspire me. And BTW, pink is definitely your color.
Shiva G thank you so much! I'm very happy to hear that you've found the video helpful 🤗
Aaaa.. I’ve straightened my hair for a whole month once.. And I didn’t use any heat protectant which either you use it or not you still have risk of having heat damage.. And mine is bad. It’s curly until collar bone to shoulder length. I’m gonna start to transition back because I miss my curls bro.. Anyway I just found your channel and thanks so much for all these tips girl ❤️
LeAndrea 😲😰 I'm sure you freaked out! And yes, even when using heat protectants you are still taking a risk of possibly getting heat damage. So now during this transition you stay away from the heat girl! We need your curls poppin again 🤗
You’re amazing just starting my journey but im hopeful thank you ❤
I do everything except protective style . I wear my hair down or pulled back most of the time. I freakin love it I never looked better. I hope I'm doing ok wearing it down.
While I was transitioning I straightened my hair a lot, almost every single week and a few touch ups every other day. (WITHOUT ANY HEAT PROTECTANT) However when I washed my hair every week, I saw that my curls were always still intact. When I did cut my permed ends after holding onto them for a year, my curls didn’t seem to have any heat damage. I haven’t used heat for a year and some months now, and I wonder if my hair is just heat trained🤔?
Straightening your hair consistently can change your curl pattern by causing your hair to lose elasticity. Everyone's hair is different so you just never know if you'll get damage or not until it happens. It's all just a risk lol
Makes sense, I’m glad I stopped! Your hair is gorgeous btw 😍
Nya Amari thank you! 🤗
Hi i am transitioning want to know how often do u wash ya hair
Alice Hargrove every 1-3 weeks is good
I am an older woman, what can of styles can you suggest for me.
Is it easier to just do the big chop?
I freaking love this video!😍 thanks all tips help me so much
maria del mar peña thank you!! Love to hear that 💜
Wow love your puff!!! Great video I'm still on my journey wish me luck
You can keep braids in for up to 3 months if you wash it every two weeks oil it once’s a week and deep condition each wash your hair will grow its working for me
Khadedra Cozier yes, there are ways to keep braids in longer and make them last depending on the style. But synthetic hair can still be very drying to their hair. So everyone is different and have to figure out the best for their hair 🤗
Khadedra Cozier glad to hear that it’s been working for you and your growth. That’s great. 🤗 I could use a 3 month break from doing my hair right now 😩😂
Omg you are just so pretty I love ur curly hair omg ur amazing
So I've been natural my whole life but was addicted to straightening + adding in clip ins ha. So im assuming I can treat my hair as if I'm transitioning too? I still have a lot of curls but it has gotten shorter from breakage and straightened pieces. I'm trying to give it 3 months and then snip about 1.5 inches off where it needs it? Keep doing that until its all gone? humongous chop not needed? I'm staying ultra moisturized (especially on the ends), deep conditioning, sulfate free washing no heat. BTW nice delivery very sincere and informative video. Thanks
Portia VL yes, in this case you’ll be transitioning from heat damage oppose to from relaxed hair. Stay away from the heat and do like you mentioned, keep taking care of it and slowly start clipping away the straight ends. Good luck on your journey 🤗
This was so encouraging ❤️
MECO ROBERTS that makes me so happy!! 💜
After six months i always go back to relaxer
I'm starting my transition and I'm wondering if you have any recommendations for products if you're someone on a budget? Like Shampoos, Conditioners, and moisturizers.
Also did you order the wig you mentioned online, if so where? I'd love to have a wig option during this journey. Thank you so much for this. I loved your tips! :)
Shiipty I have videos on my top 5 shampoos and deep conditioners. There are some affordable ones in there. As far as in moisturizers, any of them that I use in a tutorial are some of my favorites! The wig that I had was a cheap wig from my local beauty supply store. Hope that helps 🤗
Hey am new here😊
Just started the transition stuff and am looking forward to it
Haleemah Adeola yay!! Good luck on your journey!!
Hey girl I must watch clip and I've started transition my hair for 2 weeks and I've been using coconut oil for start I want to know does it work for transition
In transitioning from this heat damage.....I had been natural for a good 8 years going on 9 till last month .....SMH..I NEED this
Chula Elise I hope this video helps get you back on track 🤗🤗🤗
Love this video !!! Will these tips help for heat damaged and bleach / color damaged hair ??? I just started without heat for about a month and have been doing twist outs because my curls are stringy at the moment
Briatney Portillo yes! You can use these tips to help you transition from heat and color damaged hair. Continue to stay away from heat and just keep up your regimen.
Comb hair when wet. I learned this thehard way. Transitioning is not fun!😬
Best video yet! Thank you so much, great tips!!!
Anita McCullum thank you!! So happy that you found this video helpful 🤗
New subscriber❤️❤️❤️ I didn't Deep Conditioner for a month nor properly Moisturize and my hair was crying for help there was so much breakage
DIY NY oh no girl!! ☹️ Go back to deep conditioning weekly and keeping your hair moisturized. You'll notice less breakage!
Thank you so much for the tip❤️❤️❤️
i did perm my hair and its been like 6 month and i don't know if the perm goes i wanna go natural when i 6 year old i was having those bam curls but i was in love with straight hair so when wanna do something you are gonna do it 💔
savanah .k Don't put a perm anymore if you want to see your natural curls 🤗
I cut all my perm out a month ago ...well at least I think. I still have some straight ends but they do curl up when I put eco styler on . My question is do u think the werid straight ends is just how my hair is or do I need to go get it cut down some more?
Victoria Rainey-Hires try cutting them out and see if this happens again. So u know weather or not that's just how ur hair is.
Yes. I would get the straight ends cut out completely then see how your hair reacts 🤗💜
Lyasia In The City cool beans ☺️ thank u. Oh , Can I go to a stylist to find out what hair type I am ? So I can learn how to take care of my hair. Or is it a trick I can do to find out?
Victoria Rainey-Hires you don't need to go to a stylist to tell you your hair type. Hair type doesn't determine what you do to take care of it. Do a porosity test to learn what porosity you have. Much more important than hair type/curl pattern. That will help you determine which products are better for you. But the usually cleanse, deep condition, moisturize...all of that is across the board for everyone. Regardless of hair type.
Lyasia In The City okay cool🤗 thank u very much! I'm just trying to figure this whole thing out lol cause I don't know what's going on . Thank u for educating me🙂🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much for the excellent tips. I have never been properly taught how to do my hair. I have not had a relaxer in over 10+ years. I have ALWAYS washed my hair, blow dried, and then straightened it every.single.week. I have had a few Brazillian Blowout treatments in the past 5 years with the most recent one being this past January to help tame my frizz. Am I considered a "natural" since there are no chemicals in my hair or am I still in the transition phase? My hair when wet has a thick layer or new growth followed by straight raggedy hair. I am not a fan of protective styles, wigs, weaves, or anything else pulling my hair or scalp. How can I grow my hair out and throw away the straightening tools for good?
You not natural
I loved your video and tips. Thank you!
Hi I’m new I been trasitioning for 17 months I’m living it I’m waiting 9 months before I cut it
Very captivating personality and look!!! I was obliged to subscribe!!! You go girl!!! Informative, fun, pretty, & personable!!!! 💯😍
Bri Pumphrey thank you so much 💜 truly means a lot to me!!
thank you for this 💖 my new growth curls only stay curly for the first day after I wash it and the next day its all out and straight, how can I fix this?
coffeenatednix for me, I would wear my hair is braid outs because that was the only thing that blended the textures best. It doesn't last long, but that's just what it is. I would rebraid it after like the 3rd day.
I have the same problem so I do braid outs or a bun I'm trying no heat for at least one year
sabrina wellington yes! You have to just do what works best to get you through the days lol and staying away from heat is a good idea 🤗
Lyasia In The City yup so true ❤️❣️
So Glad I found this❤
simplyy_ renee yay 🤗
thanks for some good tips🙂
I know im very late, but i stopped relaxing my hair last august, and i have curly hair down to my shoulders and the rest is straight ends. I want to cut the straight stragglers off, but im afraid its going to shrink up. Also, my hair doesnt really grow fast, its takes so long to grow. I deep condition my hair atleast once every 2 weeks, i brush my hair in the shower. I use products that keep my hair moisturized. What am i not doing that i should be doing?
Anything to change my hair to virgin hair
where do i find that steamer..
Yvonne Tillman I put the link in the description box for the steamer. It'll take you directly to the one that I have. 😊
My hair is literally just how yours is when you was had a towel around itttttt!😐
You have pretty hands.
Can u make a video on products that will work well for transitioning hair ?
LittleDebbie I plan to make a video of products that worked for me but keep in mind that everyone's hair is different so what I used may not always work for the next person. Also, I have a few videos on my channel from when I was transitioning and show the products that I used.
Thankkk you so much for the advise ❤️
My'kelah Carr hope these tips help!
Love your videos I was wondering if I could ask u some questions about editing I want to start a channel
Yannie thank you. I actually do very little of my editing at this time. I'm very lucky to have a boyfriend with a production company, @trumagicnation 😊
Such a great video
Can you make a video of your wash day routine please I need some type of details on how I should be mine
Anyiaha Simmons I plan to!! Although I'm not transitioning anymore, my routine is still the same. I'm working on it so stay tuned 🤗
Okay thanks
Been transitioning for a year and 5months sis... it looks like it's not growing 😭😭😭
Ezichim Divine the average person’s hair grows 1/4 to 1/2 and inch a month. So it may look like it’s not growing, but it is 😂 don’t worry.
So I’m African and our hair has beautiful hard-ish texture. And I’m trying to transition but I’m so conflicted. How should I dry my hair when I wash it? How do I keep my curls in? Everything😩
Ruth Uwimbabazi while transitioning I always let me hair air dry. I mainly did braid outs. So after washing my hair, I would put my leave in and cream into my hair, braid it, then let it air dry over night. The next day I’ll take the braids out.
So I’m going to start transitioning my hair, but I don’t know the right products to start off with ! Can I get some help please ?
Jolisceia Momon I have a few videos on my channel sharing my favorite products like shampoos, deep conditioners, etc. You can check those out and try any of those 🤗
Thank...you.. I am in my 7 months..... I mini chop.... In jan... So its been getting easier. So. Think of finishing in nov..
Melissa Torres good luck on your journey!! 🤗
Thank you
I can’t use Aussie, it strips my hair super bad and makes it feel weird. I use Shea moisture😋
Pasti Pyxels I recommend people to always use whatever works best for their hair 🤗 I didn’t experience that at the time when I was using it.
Good god! I wish I saw your video like earlier part of this year cause ohh my God ohh my God everything you say not to do I did and guess what I look like a chilla pet but I'm gonna rock my chilla pet because and nobody got time to be looking like two inches here two inches I got the roll with it but thanks for the video I am a subbing now.
Am starting this month to go to natural hair.. How many times should I wash my hair?
kampi racheal I washed my hair once a week when transitioning
I have to wash my hair weekly. I do rollers and blow out. Dominican hair salon
love this video!! i’m going natural soon and I have a question: should I wash my hair once a week or is that too often? and also after washing my hair can I just put in like a bun and let it air dry?
Kiara Alston washing once a week is fine. That’s what I did while transitioning. Also, wearing a bun is fine. It’s really up to you on how you choose to style your hair. Just make sure you’re properly moisturizing your hair. Never just put it in a bun without putting in your leave in and a moisturizing cream to keep your hair from breaking/shedding. Good luck on your journey 🤗
Hey. I don't know much about taking care of my hair. My mother did all the work for me, but now she's no longer with us. its just my dad and i, and i doubt he knows anything about taking care of your hair. I have relaxed my hair my whole life amd now i finally want to go natural. but i don't know how to do that. i understand your video but i don't know how it will help me considering i don't have the tools and products, neither do i know which are the right tools and products. Can you please help me
Keikanetswe Ngozi Hi!! Starting your transition is easy. All of the tips mentioned in the video are literally the tips that I used while transitioning. Just make the conscious decision to stay away from relaxers and heat. Then just find styles that work for you. Braid outs, twist outs, rod sets, buns. Literally just follow the tips I gave. That'll get you started. I have a few tutorials on my channel of styles that you can do to your hair during this transitioning phase. You should check them out.
When it comes to products, I also talk about the ones that I love in the videos on my channel. I plan to put out a video of my top products soon.
I love this tips thank you❤😘👌😊
I’m so happy that you found these tips helpful 🤗🤗🤗
Hi Lyasia
Do you have any new videos- recent as 2020/2021. Would like to see your routine now
thank you so much
this helped a lot ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😂😂😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
When you get ready to do a style how do you part your do you use a comb or do you use your finger
Raqueela ewing I kind of use both. I guess it just depends on how I feel at the moment 🤷🏽♀️😩 I think I part mostly with my fingers but at times I do use the tail of a rat tail comb.
My gel don't work
Can you do a tutorial pls?
go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
cathrine bailey 🤗💜
My hair was EXACTLY like your at 3:11. I cut off 6 inches and my curl pattern came back but I put it back in a bun and straight ends came back. I'm old and don't have the energy to use heat. So I don't. But my ends are wavy and are on their way back to being straight. I cut my ends about every 2 months. What do you think the problem might be? Thanks.
@reneebrooks. Make sure you deep condition with heat every time you wash your hair. That will help the curls to be springy and have elasticity.
@@cathyfreeman8608 Thank you!
Love this !!! Thank you 😊
Aliyah Rochelle thank you 🤗
Good Morning,
First I love this video, straightforward, and I've began transitioning 9 months ago, last perm 09/20/17, finally cut off the majority of the perm in April and refuse to put any heat and harmful chemicals. I'm interested in item you have on from Amazon, can you give me more detail and what it does actually. Thank you and yes I subscribed, lol
Jaime Ciletti thank you!! You’re doing the right thing by avoiding heat and harmful chemicals 🙌🏽 which item did you need more info on?
Lyasia In The City, thank you so much for responding, I feel special now. The product 2 in 1 facial hair steamer, what does that do?? Sounds interesting, love to know more. Also doing my 2nd perm rod set pray for me!! 😁!! The struggle is real, thank you again❤❤
Jaime Ciletti it can be used as a hooded steamer for your hair when deep conditioning and it also comes with a nozzle for facial steaming.
Lyasia In The City, Thank you. I will go on Amazon tomorrow for pricing pulling your rod set video now, wish me luck😄❤
Hey Lyasiainthecity, I had one more question I suffer from dry scalp and keeping it moisturized has been a big issue, now since summer, it's not too bad but when winter rolls, just call me frosty the snowman, any suggestions I can start now, thanks as always😀
My hair is naturally straight and i want to grow it into curls. I have started my natural hair transition journey (3months) cos it was chemically damaged. I'm trying to get some products to help with that process, so do you mind recommending any product for straight to curls transition?
Love this video 💕
Kirsty Jordaan thank you!!
Thanks for your help 💖
Jenifer Franklin of course!!
hey im from Botswana and im starting to transition. i have one question. if yur hair is shorter at the back what can i do or apply to make it the same length as at the front?
Gorata Lizzy Moruki hi!! The only way to make it the same length would be to cut the front. If it’s significantly uneven, maybe you should see a hair stylist to have them shape up your hair.
thank you...
Thanks very much for the tips, great video! :-)
Natelege Malene thank you! Glad that you found it helpful 🤗
Currently debating on transitioning , it’s been 60 days since my last relaxer ....
My roots are extremely thick I’m getting weaker by the dayyy ... it feels like it’s matted 🙄
Also 🧐 do I blow dry it after washing 😕
Keep going!! It can be frustrating and a lot of work but you can do it. My go to was braid outs because it was the only style that gave me the best results and was less stressful. I personally didn’t blow dry my hair. I would wash and deep condition it then braid it while wet and let it air dry. You got this 💪🏽
I Have bad heat damage how many times do i have wash my hair & which product good to use ?
Audriunna Elzie heat damage can’t be reversed. It can just be cut away at whatever pace you choose. I typically wash my hair every 5-7 days but you do what works best for you. I have 2 videos on my channel sharing my favorite shampoos and conditioners 🤗
Great video! #magic
TRU Magic Nation thank you!!
Great advice thanks 💕
Ok China thank you!
