\"5_natural_hair_tips_for_transitioners\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hello loves,<\/p>\n

As you may or may not know transitioning from relaxed to natural hair can be very confusing, and time-consuming if you don’t know what you are doing. I’ve had to go through this process many years ago and it is a journey. So to help all my transitioning ladies get through the summer, I asked my friend, Toronto based hairstylist Keina Morgan<\/a> to give you 5 easy summer tips to help you\u00c2\u00a0along.<\/p>\n

Let’s get right into it!<\/p>\n

1. THE NOT SO BIG SHOP<\/strong><\/p>\n

Grow out your relaxer to a comfortable length by doing protective styling before cutting the last bit of relaxer off. This will help create a style and shape in your hair once you’ve grown it out.<\/p>\n

2. STRENGTHEN DAMAGED HAIR WITH DIY TREATMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invest in a hooded dryer and or heat treatment cap. This will help give your treatments deep moisture penetration. Try mixing up some avocado, plain yogurt, coconut oil, jojoba oil, banana and a little bit of your favorite store-bought conditioner for great at home treatment.<\/p>\n

3. TRIM YOUR ENDS TO PREVENT SNAGGING<\/strong><\/p>\n

What’s the point of trimming my hair if I want to grow it, you ask? Trimming has a major effect on healthy hair growth. Having perfectly trimmed ends helps prevent snagging, ripping and tearing while you style and detangle your hair.<\/p>\n

\"Clary-Sage-Oil\"<\/a><\/p>\n

4. USE SAGE OIL TO PREVENT SPLITTING ENDS<\/strong><\/p>\n

The majority of splitting hair comes from heat damage. A great way to soothe this condition is to use sage oil. It should be mixed with a carrier oil such as sweet almond oil, coconut oil, olive oil or jojoba oil to only name these few.<\/p>\n

5. STYLING: TRY BANTU KNOTS<\/strong><\/p>\n

These single hair rolls (or twists) are formally known as chiney bumps. They are a great way to style your hair in its transitional stage while it grows out, while giving you awesome definition. I suggest using a butter for styling up this look.<\/p>\n

Stay Conscious & Chic!<\/p>\n
