  • Transitioning is one of two ways you can go natural, and while it may seem less commitment heavy than big chopping, it requires just as much commitment and dedication than the big chop! In this video, I explain what transitioning is, how - to steps to transition, and what to expect when dealing with two different textures - basically everything you need to know about the transitioning process!

      I'm right there with you! I haven't relaxed since August or September 2019. Clipped ends prob once or twice since. Not as much hair fall as I expected. Moisturize n deep condition. I wear head bands on what I call bad hair days...but I'm ok with it.😉never been one to give energy to what ppl say or think...poot on em if they dont like how I look. But what have u been doing on your journey sis?

      @low bqttery I'm still doing pretty much the same things. Unfortunately I colored my hair like a week or 2 before this Coronavirus became prominent. 🤦🏾‍♀️so I've been plaiting & n twisting hair n wearing it a lace front a bit. Still deep condition n apply oil, leave in, & water every other day or so. Still taking some getting used to...real tempted to get a relaxer. Was almost discouraged n was just going to choose it all off one night when it knotted up so badly after a wash. But thanks to hubby, we managed to save most of my hair, but I still lost a great deal of it. But I think the idea she has bout washing hair in parted sections is the best idea for transitioning hair. I didnt do it that night bcuz I was rushing. Old adage says, "Patience is a virtue!" And most certainly is😏

    I'm white but I've had very curly hair all my life and I learned how to take care of my curls from the Natural Hair Community here on RUclips. I am so so grateful!! Even though my hair is very different from Black/AA hair, I just love the community and the support that comes from it. It's so beautiful seeing women come together and boosting each other up. I'm not transitioning but this was a great video!! thank you for putting hard work into this ❤️

    I am currently transitioning (or trying to). It's been six months so far and the two different textures are starting to annoy me. I'm just here on youtube trying to get inspiration, ideas, tips, etc to follow through. Sometimes I think about changing my mind because I don't know how or if I'll like my natural hair. For now I'm pushing through trying to stay positive and not give up. Thank you for the video, very entertaining and informative.
    UPDATE: I'm natural now. I did the big chop in December 2018.

      tevalere Definitely keep trying to push through ! You should give yourself the opportunity to enjoy your full natural hair after transitioning before you decide to change your mind. It’s not always easy and you may not like it at first but I do believe if you stick with it once you’re fully natural you won’t only learn to love your texture, but feel both proud and accomplished that you saw it through! 🧡

      You can do it Trevalere. I wanted to transition in 2013. In May 2018, so much of my relaxed hair had fallen out, bald spot in my crown, edges disappear and being diagnosed with scarring alopecia. I had to big chopped. I had cried the first two weeks. My coworkers, my mom told me how good I look with short natural hair. Two and a half month later my coworkers and my mom have been telling me how fast my hair is growing. I tried to go natural in 2013 and didn't know the process and my beautician didn't know the process and ended up back on the creamy crack. Now, I wish I had stuck it thru back in 2013 and I would not have scarring alopecia. Scarring alopecia is hair loss and when the hair follicles dies no more hair will not grow. I have thin hair growing back in the crown as my scalp is still healing from the creamy crack, color rinse, flat iron, etc. Your hair and your scalp will thank you for going natural and keeping all of your hair follicles alive. I had no idea what a relaxer, hair coloring does to the hair and scalp.

    It’s so mind blowing watching pple put so much effort and thought into going natural. I’m really one of those low maintenance girls. Back in 2011 when I first started transitioning All i did was stop relaxing my hair. Washed it, braided it up and threw a wig on it, every once in a while let it breathe .

      Shakeira Davis You’re right! It definitely doesn’t require too much fancy handling - if anything, sometimes the basics can just be a little time consuming. But once you figure out your sweet spot for moisture and protection, you’re basically good to go!

      Shakeira Davis So true. And that's why the people who benefit most from the natural movement are the manufacturers of the myriad of products the naturalistas think they need. I spent a week researching some of the big name products and was shocked about the amount of harmful ingredients they contained. Glad I went simple, too.

    Ive been transitioning for about 4 years. I fell off the wagon after my first few attempts but ive been successfully transitioning for the last year & a half. I've always refused to do a big chop. I've cut my relaxed ends off bit by bit every 4-6 weeks. I keep my hair in crochet braids & im finally ready to cut off my last bit of relaxed ends. I can honestly say that i haven't lost any of my length during the process!! As many hair videos as i've watched idk how ive never come across this video until now. Super entertaining!!

    Hi College Curls! I have started my transitioning phase about 6 months ago. I implemented using protein treatments and Olaplex to strengthen my hair. It is a challenge with the different textures, but keeping my hair condition, low manipulation, and just wrapping my hair has been a plus of less shedding and breakage. Also, I plan to grow my hair out until I slowly cut off the length of the relaxer. Thank you for the encouragement and I appreciate this video to keep me motivated. Blessings to you and your family!

    My girls and I have done short and long term transitioning. I transitioned for about 9 months and got tired of the relaxed ends and wanted a TWA so I BC'd and loved it! Now my hair is longer than before I cut it and much healthier. About 5 years ago I had to stop relaxing my older daughter's hair because of a head injury that damaged her scalp. I did a very short transition for her and she let me cut it off to about 2". She now has long natural hair. My younger daughter...I stopped relaxing hers and kept her hair in protective styles like braids and crotchet for at least a year and slowly trimmed her relaxed ends. Her hair right now is longer than both me and my older daughter's hair, almost to her bra. They are 18 and 19 years old. We're all at shoulder to APL length type 4 hair. I hated having relaxed ends because washing it left insane tangling! The big chop was amazing for me!

I started by transitioning and only know a little bit but I knew enough and have taken really good care of my hair now for a year and then considering cutting off the ends that aren't as happy still. I have mostly done braids and twists to help me survive but honestly even that has been better than what I was dealing with before:). Now I am figuring out what type of hair I have specifically and doing research on what products to try that might help me get to my end goal of bringing my curls to life. Thanks again for a great video. It's the most helpful one on transitioning I've watched as I decide what to do next!

It was more of a choice that I want to stop relaxing and try to see what my natural hair looks like (it's been a while)... Its been 6 months and my hair growth is nothing to brag about. I don't really think I realised what I was getting myself into. SO much breakage, different textures, some parts well conditioned others dry and brittle... Due you have explained so much to me!! THANK YOU!! This by far has been the most informative and helpful video I've seen about the whole process. Never through about having a timeline either! This video has changed the whole game for me!!

    I think my hair is transitioning. I haven’t put heat on it recently and I try not to get flat ironed as much anymore. I had relaxers most my life and had length cut off my hair. I finally got my length back but it still has relaxer in it. I haven’t had a relaxer in maybe 2-3 years. I put my hair in box braids, twists, cornrows etc. so I can grow my hair and cut off my straight ends. Man I really wish my mom didn’t relax my hair in the first place but we’re trying to go back to natural, I feel more comfortable with my hair curly.

    • @CollegeCurls

    The first time I went natural I did a big chop. I had a twa but it was long enough to grip for braids. I was natural for 6 years and this year 2018 I decided to cut all my hair off aging, but this time I got a pixie cut and a perm 😫🤦🏾‍♀️ so now I’m transitioning. And I’m nervous, but happy af for the years to come because I miss my fro 😫♥️ I’m so grateful for RUclips and my mistakes, because now I can start over and do it right for the most part lol

Thank you!

  • @tastyshades
    @tastyshades 5 лет назад +15

    It's funny, I kinda fell into the natural hair journey by accident. I stopped relaxing my hair because I loved bleaching and coloring it.
    I had no wants of long or healthy hair,I just decided I liked my hair with color more than it being relaxed. I still damaged it tho with too much heat/bleach but I actually learned how to finally properly care for my hair through that process. Watching RUclips is what gave me a name for what I was doing and a whole new vocabulary and product list.lol
    I big chopped/tranistioned my hair to the state it's in now. I very rarely use heat anymore but I still color but now I do it in a healthy way. The internet + RUclips + cosmetology school + personal experience have taught me ALOT about my natural and I'm happier for it.
    I didn't go into with the intent on making my hair better but I've come out on the other side with my hair the healthiest it's been in ages! It's thick and soft again, 8 years into the process!

    I’m biracial, so my hair is curly, but once I got into middle school, I was too annoyed with dealing with my hair every morning. So I did a relaxer so my curls were easier to handle. After a few years my hair got stringier and uglier cuz of all the touch ups. I am abt a few months in for transitioning, but my hair grows super fast, so hopefully it doesn’t take too long.

    I started my transition three months ago and have a couple of inches of new growth. I use foam rollers to blend the textures and have done one trim (just my ends) so far. I’m hoping to chop at the year mark. I’m thankful I picked the middle of a pandemic to transition, because roller sets are unpredictable. It was so nice to see an entertaining video! I am thirsty for information about transitioning, but I tire of watching people just talk. Good luck everyone!

    I had my hair relaxed since I was 7 and started transitioning a little over a year ago. I've had crochet braids and that has been ideal for my transitioning experience. I used to have a weave in college and that really hurt my hair but the braids have been great. I'm nervous because i'm going to start training my hair in a few months or so but this video was so helpful :)

    I’m 7 months transitioning and I still really don’t know what two textures mean because when I relax my hair, I relax only the roots and never the tips so, I think I’ve always dealt with 2 textures. But right now, about 3 weeks ago, I started doing a lot of deep conditioning with both hair products and natural products, I have a regimen which basically has me deep conditioning twice a week, one with a deep conditioner and the other with natural products. I also use growth hair food, Shea butter, leave in conditioner, anti dandruff hair food, I wash once a week in partitions and also apply hair oils, basically coconut and almond oil, I do twists once a week as well. It’s 3 weeks of hair treatment and I think it’s a great journey. I think I don’t like wash days lol

    I stopped getting relaxers last year in November and I’ve been transitioning ever since. I’m at the point now where I want to just cut the rest of my relaxed hair off but I really want to retain the length! I’m still learning, talking to friends who are natural and watching videos to figure out what works for me.

I have also always hated how straight and short my hair was and I now know why it was like that and not how the other black girls looked. I’m so ready for this journey to going natural! 🥰✌️

    5 weeks and 1 day into my natural hair journey. Haven't had a relaxer in over 25 years and just stopped using heat on my hair 5 weeks ago. I'm just trying to get my regimen figured out and see what works for my hair. I'm excited about taking my hair back and loving me and my hair enough to walk in a healthy lifestyle. My plan is to transition for at least 1 year then check my progress at that point.

    i actually accidentally started transitioning because i wanted my hair to grow a bit so i stopped relaxing it for a couple months with the intention of relaxing it after but the i decided to put my hair in box braids and my hair grew ridiculous amounts and it had never been longer. after doing this for months it grew so much and i lost sight of why i was relaxing my hair in the first place. It gave me the confidence that i needed to know that i would be able to deal with my very thick natural hair for sure. Tomorrow i'm going to do a big chop, and I'm super excited but also really scared. Hopefully it will liberate me from the pressures that i felt to look like my white peers and I will realise how beautiful my african roots really are

    This is a excellent video, I wish it was available when I first stared transitioning in 2017. I am now 3+ years in and the one thing I have been doing is constantly trimming my ends about once a month, sometimes. Yesterday I was adventurous and cut about 2 inches.

    This is the best transitioning video I've seen. I am currently transitioning. My last relaxer was 3 months ago. This is my 4th time going natural. This is the first time I've transitioned. I big chopped all the other times. Right now with both textures my hair is puffy. I have it cut in a bob style. I find it hard to come up with styles that dont involve me flat ironing my hair because of the length of my hair.

    • @CollegeCurls
      @CollegeCurls  4 года назад

      Dealing with both new growth and permed hair can be a nightmare sometimes, and the breakage can make it even worse. It does get easier though the more new growth you get, and as it starts to outweigh how much permed hair you have

I am currently transitioning from relaxed to natural .I have been natural before I decided to relax my hair but, I missed my curls and the thickness my hair had before relaxing .So I decided to go back natural an remain natural.I do not hate relaxers I just want what works for me.I realize that not everyone can take be natural but, every one should do what works for them.

    Thank you so much for this video!!! I have been wanting to see a video that could answer some of my questions. I am 6 months post relaxer and blending the two textures have been a challenge, the problem I have is the breakage and shedding of my relaxed hair. My natural hair is growing and doing fine, but relaxed ends ain’t having it! LOL!!! I was going to transition for 12 months, but now I think I may big chop before that time.

    I start my transition tomorrow... tonight I just did a hot oil treatment and I am gonna leave the oil in my hair overnight
    I probably have 2a 2b hair (looking at pictures of me as a baby) but I have been treating my hair as though they are straight because I was never told that there was a different way of treating curly hair...I didn't even know there was a thing like conditioner a year back...but I am ready to finally treat my hair the way it should be treated

    Good video. My last relaxer was in June(about 5 months ago). Transitioning hasn't been too bad so far. I have been going to salon for roller sets or flat twists. I'm learning it definitely requires more work than relaxed hair. Which is why I never tried natural before. I don't think I'll do a big chop. My hair is just below ears so don't think my transition will take long. RUclips has been helpful. I'm learning what works for my hair quickly. Hoping I can stick it out 😊
