I have had a relaxer since I was 12 years old I am now 57. I am approaching 1 year of the transitioning process.

Your video had some really good tips to help me to continue through this process. Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback!!!, I’ve been transitioning for a year and a month now and I didn’t realize until few weeks ago. I stopped relaxing my hair since last October. I’ve been getting my hair done in knotless braids and when it’s time to wash my hair, I deep condition with hair mayonnaise which helps both with my natural growth and my relaxed ends. I’ve noticed my curls are coming and I’m loving it. Also, I can’t wait where this journey takes me😊.

I almost forgot after using hair mayonnaise, i de tangle my hair. Then I go head wait for 30 min. Before I rinse it out, then I go ahead and detangle again before applying leave in conditioner and oil in my hair before blow drying in low heat. After when my hair is blow dried, I go head and braid my real hair and oil my scalp.

Twist-outs us my go-to style to blend and I hang on to receipts to return products that don't work out or return to Amazon!! Trial & Error is serious and will probably change once all relaxer is gone. Thinking of B.C. in January.... we'll see.

I've been relaxed since I was about 8yrs old since my mom didn't know how to manage real natural hair. I realized when I was growing up, my hair wasn't curling and bouncing as it should be and in highschool I really wanted to cut it. I had planned to just big chop bald after graduation but I think my mom is really attached to my hair. There was one time when my mom wanted to braid my hair and told me to blow dry it. From what I'm seeing from my hair, I don't think it was super damaged from the heat since I re wet it and heat protection etc. I'm really wanting to cut all my ends in 2023. So post 6 months transition

It sounds to me like you're more than on the right path girl! The only thing I would say is, it's been a month since you left this comment and you likely have more new growth than when you first started, if you don't want your relaxed hair to look so weighed down while the natural grows out, lighten up on the product a little. But, if you don't care, that's fine too, it's all about your preference! :) Hope this helped, wishing you the best in your transition! Thank you for watching and commenting! :)
