How To Transition To Natural Hair Without Damaging Your Hair by Fawzee(f): 11:52am On May 17, 2023
Hello Nairalanders,

Are you tired of chemically treating your hair and longing to embrace your natural texture? Transitioning to natural hair can be an exciting and liberating journey. However, it's essential to approach it with care to minimize damage and promote healthy hair growth. In this post, I'll share some valuable tips on how to transition to natural hair without damaging your precious strands.

1. Be patient and embrace the process:
Transitioning to natural hair is a gradual process that requires patience. Understand that your hair will go through different phases as you grow out your natural texture. Embrace the journey and celebrate each milestone along the way.

2. Trim regularly:
To get rid of damaged and split ends, consider scheduling regular trims. Trimming prevents further damage from progressing up the hair shaft, ensuring healthier and stronger hair overall.

3. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize:
Natural hair tends to be drier than chemically treated hair, so moisture is key. Invest in a good moisturizing routine using water-based products and seal in the moisture with natural oils or butters. Deep conditioning treatments are also highly beneficial for maintaining hydration.

4. Protective styling:
Protective styles like braids, twists, buns, and updos help protect your hair from daily manipulation and reduce breakage. However, ensure that the styles are not too tight or pulling on your hair, as this can cause tension and damage.

5. Detangle with care:
When detangling your transitioning hair, be gentle to avoid excessive pulling and breakage. Start from the ends and work your way up using a wide-toothed comb or your fingers. Consider applying a leave-in conditioner or detangling spray to ease the process.

6. Avoid heat styling:
Excessive heat can cause damage and weaken your hair. Minimize or eliminate the use of heat styling tools like flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers. If you must use heat, apply a heat protectant spray and keep the temperature low.

7. Practice low-manipulation styling:
Reduce the frequency of combing, brushing, and manipulating your hair. Over manipulation can lead to breakage and setbacks in your transition journey. Embrace styles that require less manipulation, such as braid-outs, twist-outs, or wash-and-go styles.

8. Research and learn:
Educate yourself about your hair type, porosity, and specific needs. This knowledge will help you make informed decisions about products, techniques, and hairstyles that will work best for your natural hair.

9. Seek support and inspiration:
Join online communities, where you can connect with others on a similar journey. Share experiences, seek advice, and draw inspiration from those who have successfully transitioned to natural hair.

Remember, transitioning to natural hair is a personal journey, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. What works for someone else may not work for you, so listen to your hair and make adjustments accordingly.

I hope these tips will help you navigate your transition journey with confidence and minimize damage along the way. Embrace your natural hair texture, be patient, and enjoy the process of discovering and loving your beautiful, natural curls.

Feel free to share your own tips and experiences below. Let's support and uplift each other on this amazing natural hair journey!

Best regards,
Fawzee.

Ladies if you want your hair to grow naturally and quickly Avoid Wearing Wigs and synthetic hair on your head allow your natural hair breathe.

Secondly Add Nuts and Oils to your diet as well as your hair treatment. Nuts like Cashew and groundnuts help . Use coconut oil ,Shea butter as well as Rice water for your hair.


STOP USING FAKE HAIR ON YOUR HEAD ALLOW YOUR NATURAL HAIR FLOURISH YOU LOOK MORE BEAUTIFUL AND ATTRACTIVE WITH IT.

Great tips. Just know that when you reach abroad, you cut everything away and be on low cut cos natural hair is not easy. Ease of maintenance and cost in 9ja salons is cheaper than outside the country.

Make a dataset where each row contains IconicR's mentions, time of post, what she posts, how long she spends online, the type of topics she reply to, who she reply to, and the category of emoji she uses. Can u use decision tree algorithm to process this dataset to determine if she is a sadist?

Yes that's the process but you haven't suggested and specific products. What detangling shampoo to use, what type of comb or brush to use. What grease or conditioner to use daily to allow us to comb it and add moisture
