- How I SUCCESSFULLY Transitioned from Relaxed to Natural Hair. Since I transitioned for two years i feel like its my duty to not forget about the transitioners out there this is EXACTLY what I did to successfully transition. I explain what my weekly wash routine was like, how i deep conditioned, what products i used, the hair styles i did. Literally everything you need to know about how i made it to the end. Hopefully this is able to make your natural hair journey of going natural easier.

I'm transitioning now and I have 3 inches of new growth. I'm having difficulty with this process because I'm used to straight hair. You give me hope. Tnanks😁
Same here. I’m sad I may have to resort to wearing my hair straight but ugh we’ll see
Same here !! Need advance
Good luck
"The hardest part is the mindset", That's so true. People will always try to talk you down with a lot of bullsh*t (even without knowing a thing) and tell you that it would not look good on you, that relaxed hair is easier to manage, that you should settle and not do it for the trend (as if the way my hair grows out of my head it's a trend), but as you said I'm doing this for me, it's MY hair; whoever dislikes it then turn around and mind your business. What's funnier is that when you go completely natural and it turns out it looks good on you, they're the first ones to compliment it
That’s literally exactly what happened too. Now that I’m natural everyone loves it and wants to go natural now but I was torn down my entire transition and some months after my big chop. Now they see its flourishing and people hate when I say “yea if it were up to you I never would have been here” lol I ain’t forgettin
i love your videos but the music wss too loud🙈
Thanks I know ! 😞😞
Omg I ain’t realize everyone growing up in Chicago had a beautician, I thought it was just my family but I feel like ur right! also orange is ur color! 😍
I aint know anyone from Chicago that did their hair on their own 😂 but thank you !!
Yes we have beauticians. My 1st regular beautician did my hair for a little over 20 years (I was a kid when I started going to her). I finally ended up switching to someone else & it's been almost 10 years with her. But since I'm transitioning now, I found a natural hair stylist. I've only been to her once so far.
Bout over relaxed hair. Auntie relaxed it when I was like 7 and im 19 now. I want a change
Lmaoo Im from Chicago and I had a beautician too! Did not realize that was a Chicago thing. 💀💀
Thanks for posting! Your hair is beautiful! I will be at 12 months this August without a perm. I'm doing the steps you stated to transition now. I'm having success so far!
I can relate to everything you said at the beginning of the video I tried going natural many times ,got discouraged each time .I wasn't watching RUclips channels I am transitioning now. Thank you so much for this video
It's funny how haters told you not to go natural but for me it was the haters jealous of my hair length that made me want to cut off my heat damage. But my hair is still a nice length and is growing back really fast!!!
People and their negativity 🤦🏽♀️ smh
Best realistic transitioning video to date. Thank you. I BELIEVE you about the tangles...lol.
Sending you love from Africa
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your natural hair is beautiful!😍😍
I legit only do buns every single day. My hair is too short and the relaxed ends are so stringy so I can’t wear my hair out. I do box braids sometimes as well when I wanna give my hair a break or when I’m bored.
I forgot you were even transitioning Brit ! I’m over here thinkin you’re fully natural lol but I never realized how ugly my relaxed hair was til I saw that stringy junk attached to my natural hair . Buns were life ! And still are lol
KAYLYN IVY it’s the worst girl! Have any tips to make my bun last longer? I use eco and I can get like 2 days before I have to reapply more gel. Any tips would be amazing! :)
Unfortunately no :/ I just took it down , sprayed it with water, applied oil and a little gel and brushed it back up into another bun . And if my bun looked raggedy I didnt even care cause I was NOT about to put forth the effort washing it again before my week was up lol
KAYLYN IVY lmao girl we are the same person! Thanks for always posting the best videos
@@M3l155a how's ur hair 😃
Great video. Now 6 months into my transition and decided to changed all my relaxed hair products as my hair wasn't moisturised enough. Deep conditioning on a weekly basis is a must. I'm using the Mane Choice to transition. Their pre poo is a lifesaver. The LOC method really helps soften new growth.
I got it right the 2nd time lol, I got discouraged during /after the first year. I think I was just overwhelmed by the two different textures.
Yea it’s definitely the most overwhelming stage my hair was ever in but I’m glad you made it through it too lol
KAYLYN IVY 💙💙
Totally understand, however I use my new growth to motivate me.
Go to the salon ,let them take care of it Queen 🤗
I've been transitioning for 6 months so far. I have about 3 inches of new growth and this will be my second time going natural. As I'm transitioning, I'm trying to figure out my hair and learn new methods of retaining moisture. The last time I was natural was my first time going natural, and that didn't go well for me. This time I will succeed!
Nice information. Thank you for sharing. It s good that you stopped listening to people. They certainly discourage people. I transitioned years ago but kept braiding cos I felt I couldn't leave my hair out like that. Now I dont braid anymore as I almost became bald. I did a video showing this :)
Love the video, very thorough and informative
Five minutes in and I clicked that like button already 😊 You're sooo informative and Honest. I would've never thought your hair was in the condition youu explained, hard work pays off! Your hair is gorgeous queen 😍😊
Thank you so much !! ❤️❤️
KAYLYN IVY Yw Hun ! Like I said before it's such a motivation when listening to youu that I got thiss ! 😂💪😊 I had a few set backs due to heat , but I've been relaxer free since 2013. But I've now recently been giving my hair the much needed tlc it needs. Btw Thankss for sharing 😊
Thanks for the video btw. I'm loving your videos! You're so real with us and humble. ♥️
Thanks girly !! 🧡😘
KAYLYN IVY no problem! 💞
Your hair looks like you got it shaped! It looks really good!!😍😍
Thanks Amber !! ❤️
I actually didn’t tho lol my hair just has its days when it wants to act right
Glad i found this video! No more perms and I’m not going to cut it off to get started!
I wanna do that but I don’t have the courage
15 more days and I’ll have transitioned for a year! I’m thinking of big chopping the relaxed parts in June. I’m excited. :)
Kaylyn your hair looks great. I only relaxed after 18 yrs old. I transitioned before and went back to relaxed. I like both to be honest. I see benefits on both sides. I have to do deep conditioning no matter the state of my hair. I like Camille Rose products and Garnier Fructis and Rose water/glycerin.
Thanks! And hey there’s def nothin wrong with relaxers! I can understand how being natural might be too much for some people cause it really is a lot of work and time
This is my 2nd time with going natural. The 1st time, I did the same as you, kept my hair straightened not realizing that was bad to do. I knew NOTHING about transitioning (this was 4 or 5 years ago). Fastfoward to today, I did tons of research this time when I decided to try again. I just completed my 4th month & am now in my 5th month of transitioning.
Congrats !! I hope you make it this time !!
👏👏👏👏 Congrats!!! Me too. 👍😊
Thanks for sharing. This video was very helpful!
Your curly hair video was amazing 😉
taking progress pictures keeps me motivated too❤️ i’m post 7 months
YYOOOO and you hair looks AMAZING THANK YOU for not listening to those people who don't believe in God's design
I would snap a picture of My curls and stuff just to keep me motivated. When she said that I smiled because I'm ready to start my natural hair journey.
I’ve done two big chops and want to just transition now. Flat twist are my fave right now. Im about to go back to do grow, baby don’t be bald, and African oil. I just need some inspiration.
Way to go Sis❤️ So glad you chose to do this video...I hope the new transitioners appreciate it😀You’ve given them the most important information. And touching on the mindset was genius🤓...btw I see you shouting out the Jheri Curl girl😂🤣😂🤣
Thanks sisss !! ❤️❤️ and lmfao I KNEW YOU were gonna comment that !! I swear I was thinkin about you when I edited this video and heard me say that 😂🤣
KAYLYN IVY 😂🤣😂
I’ve been transitioning for about 7 months now and i’m so excited for the results, 5 more months
Yayy! 😊🙌🏽
How'd it turn out?💛💛
flyingangel well?
I'm literally rewatching this video to make myself feel better because people in my life keep bringing me down about transitioning. I was literally told the other day that I should go relax my hair and that I'm gonna look homeless if I don't and so on and so forth... I had to get my mind straight again
Your hair look amazing , I transitioning from 1 year n five month in next month I am planning for big chop
I always learn so much from your videos. Can you do a review on higher end vs. lower end hair products?
Thanks! And I honestly don’t really have high end products but if I ever come across some I’ll def compare
Oh 🍯 I’m hooked on Jane Carters Curls to Go☺️😊😍
Yes their products are great especially their deep conditioner! I wish they were all a tad bit heavier tho lol
KAYLYN 😉I know what you mean. I’ve done wash n gos both with and without a gel (Ampro crystal or Eco flaxseed and love them both but come Winter🙄 I’ll be using gel all the time😆🌹
So you didn’t have to do the “big chop”? How often did you get your ends trimmed?
I'm going natural again. I texturized my hair on Jan 1st but its extremely unprocessed because I diluted the texturized with conditioner. My hair is back to its natural kinky state. I wonder if I have to big chop
Do you have to do braid outs and twist outs cause they don’t look good on me :(
Do u workout? If so, can u make a video on how u preserve your hair & prevent your roots from getting puffy? Thanks!
Who makes the 3 minute miracle conditioner that you used?
What was the name of the conditioner you use during your transition?
So people that have gotten perms can go natural once u let the perm grow out & your hair will be curly?
Hey Kaylyn I really enjoy watching your videos!! And this month on August 24th I will be one year post relaxer..I am soooo proud of myself!! The first time I transitioned it was fail but this time so far so good 😊 And u are so right the more natural hair I get my styles do not last long 😭 so I just wear a buns 95% of the time.
Omgggg !!! Congratulations girl !! How long are you going til you big chop ?
KAYLYN IVY Thank you!! I was thinking maybe I chop it off when I hit the one year mark because my bday is 3 days after. But I looked at my new growth on wash day and I was like ummmm yea I need some more length 😂 because I never had short hair before always long relaxed hair. But dealing with these two textures ain’t no joke 😭 and u know what’s annoying the natural hair gang lol no offense but I have them at work and they always saying just cut it off. Yea it don’t work that way I cut my own hair on my own head when I am good and ready lol but I was thinking maybe end of the this year I be 16 months post and I can bring in the New Year with natural hair. But I will definitely keep u posted and my bad I wrote a lot 🤣 😊
Girl I know EXACTLY how you feel cause I felt the exact same ! And I even big chopped Jan 1st for the New Year too 😂🤣 I was on my “new year. new me” shit 😂 but yes def keep me posted !
KAYLYN IVY 🤣 Girl see great minds think alike new year new me!! That’s what I am talking about!! But keep the videos coming girl!! 😂
Heyyy 👋🏾 girl.. I watched one of your old videos call what you wish u knew while transitioning to natural and u said one thing that stood out and is very true. U said the more natural hair u get while u transitioning your styles get uglier and uglier and uglier 😂😂😂 Girl ain’t it the truth 🤦🏾♀️ I do a braidout and I take it down.. it look like crap lol. So I be like fuck it BUN 🤣🤣
Is your hair low porosity? Any tips for low porosity new transitioned hair?
Which aussie conditioner did you use? I stopped relaxing 7 months ago and I'm struggling!
How long post big chop was your hair in this video?
Can we see a wash day routine and a wash-n-go routine please 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️❤️?
I recently posted them both on my channel like two months ago . Check them out ! ❤️🙂
I only relaxed my hair once please tell me how to stop please
I’m not really hearing the products that help?
I love you & this video
Love your vids!
Thanks Keyaira ❤️!! And girl I was sooooo thirsty to see mine too but I knew I’d be mad at the length if I big chopped any sooner so that kept me going 😂
Keyaira Ester yup! I’m almost 7 months post and wanna do a 2 year transition because I want length but these curls coming through are always a tempting me. I did a very small chop on one side of my head so I can kind of tell what my hair will look like
Hey Keyaira! ❤️Sis hang in as long as you can💪🏽 You’ve already come so far...I made it to 14mos and couldn’t take one more 45min de tangling session😩 I only had 4-5” But I went for it🧐 Everything Kaylyn shared probably would’ve helped me to go the distance but so far so good 😊 I’m 14mos natural now and I have a beautiful head full of Healthy hair ...You can do this🙏🏽❤️🌹
your hair is so beautiful
Thank you !!
The music made it hard to hear you
What’s slip? Lol I’m still learning
is deep xondition n deep treatment the sane after washn it out in tge week wat u use to get nit dry tho help! plz
Yea it’s the same. And after I wash it out I use any leave in conditioner (it always changes), apply olive oil on top, and then gel and that’s it. You’re hair will “train itself” to not dry out over time with consistent deep conditioning
What is slip
Already natural but heeeeyyyyy girllll
Heyyy Anne 👋🏽
Anne Cuthers Coming from someone that wants to go natural, how are things going?
Thanks
how often do you wash your hair? 💜
Once every two weeks :)
I’m watching this video for tips . When I wash my hair it’s curly then straight at the end . any other tips I can get to get back natural ?
you could cut off the straight ends right off the bat or let your hair grow out a bit and then cut off the ends
Bantu knots will give you a more even curl pattern, until you are ready to part with the straight bits. Also on wash day try flexi rods or even use perm rods on just the straight ends of your hair. Let your hair dry like a set then remove only when completely dry. I hope this helps.
If you weren't using shampoo every week, what were you using to wash your hair?
She probably co-washed using only conditioner
Did you condition and deep condition weekly? I am transitioning and wonder whether I have to conditon and also deep condition after under the hooded dryer? Thank you all of your videos are a big help!
Also my hair has been breaking really bad and I deep conditon every week with heat! Any tips?
shalomshawty still struggling?
wait, ok so i have natrually straight hair can i still transition to curly hair????????????? or how does that go???
You can transition to chemical free hair but if it’s not naturally curly then you can’t transition to it
Do you still use products that contain silicones?
Yea to be honest I don’t even check the ingredients to even see. If it has silicones I wouldn’t even know unless someone commented that it did. They work for me though 🤷🏽♀️
oh and this is random but would you ever try Xtreme wetline gel?
I’ve never even heard of it. Can I get it at a drug store ?
yeah and its even cheaper than eco styler lol you can buy it at Walmart, target, sally beauty etc
KAYLYN IVY I’d like to see you try that one myself😀
Good job and good tips I’ve been trying to transition but my problem is not the heat it’s dying it
Thank you ! Idk how you can break that habit lol I understand how addicting that can be. Color is so pretty lol
Hey girl!!! What does slip mean?
Coco Nelly i have the same question, help!
So it took to months for your hair to start falling right.
Yup
What’s the name of the name of the deep conditioner that you used ? Did you say Aussie ??
I THINK I was using the 3 minute miracle ...I’m pretty sure I was but I’m not 100% for certain
KAYLYN IVY ok thank you !!
any tips I am transitioning but my 3 yr old is as well any tips for products n how to stop breakage
Do you ever have to moisturize your wash and gos at any point of time during the week? How do you do it? My hair start to get a little dry like on the 5th day
I love your video but music is way too loud
I haven’t had a relaxer since March 2018, is it okay if i get my hair professionally straightened (like a silk press) once a month?
No you will deffo get heat damage
Post more!😭😭💕🙏🏾
I will 😩 I just been really REALLY sick lately so I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with my body
KAYLYN IVY sorry to hear that. Your health comes first!!!!! I hope u get better soon. 🙏🏾🙏🏾💕
Thank you ! ❤️
KAYLYN IVY welcome!😊
Great video but music way too loud
She looks like Josaline from LAHH
How do you deal with morning shrinkage? I've been natural for almost a year and this shrinkage is killing me 😱. I keep it moisturized and my roots and scalp oiled, but every morning my hair shrinks and takes shape of the bonnet. My hair type is 4a/b.
Adriannn Adriann It sounds like you leave your hair out underneath your bonnet. I would recommend you braid you hair in four different sections to keep your hair in a stretched State overnight
Jennifer Okolo I do and I will definitely try that. Thanks!
Adriannn Adriann no problem!
Adriannn Adriann Kaylyn has a couple of videos on stretching. Click on her photo and you’ll get a list of all of her previous videos. She did an updated one just recently😀 Hope this helps Sis😊🌹
Thanks Karen for letting her know ! But yes I normally stretch my hair and my stretch routine it literally only takes 5 mins to do and after taking it down in like 30 mins it’ll be completely stretched. Sometimes I wear my hair like that in the car on the way to work or when I’m getting dressed and by the time I’m done doing whatever it’s stretched .
Do you have a PO Box ?
No 😕
Music is a little to loud
😍😍😍
❤️
The music is too loud and very distracting. I couldn't watch the full video.
The music is wayyy to loud 😂
I wish I was watching transitioning videos back when I was transitioning. All I was doing was watching videos of people with like 3C hair when I have mostly 4a hair. I also had braids all throughout transitioning, so I never knew how to take care of my hair. I didn't even know what it looked like. If I'd just transitioned without the braids I'd probably get to know my hair more than I did then. I was using products I used on my permed hair and I was just washing it and putting the hair lotion on it and going.
Girl at least you got here lol many people don’t even make it to the end. Doesn’t matter how you get there as long as you get there 🤷🏽♀️
KAYLYN IVY that's true. I never thought of it like that. Great POV on it! ♥️
Music too loud
You kinda look like Rihanna
Can you talk a little slower
