I’m finally FULLY natural! In today’s video, I want to share with you exactly how I transitioned from relaxed to natural hair in 3 years (36 months). Though this was quite the hair journey, protective styles were my go-to and I can now say, I have healthy hair! If you’d like to see how I did it, and how you can transition without a big chop, this video is for you!
Hair routines and GIVEAWAYS are coming soon :)

[@jenny2pretty]

This is so encouraging!!!! I am one and half years transitioning and I refused to big chop and it has been going pretty good! Thanks for sharing!

[@keaundraprice]

Hi, Jennifer! Oh, you're just about there! I'd love to see before and after! :)

[@9672justemor]

Your hair is beautiful! I was natural at one time, but I went back to the relaxed hair. But very early this morning I decided to go back to natural. I’m so tired of the breakage! My hair is still long, but I want my strands to be stronger.

[@mschelle2762]

So glad I found this video. I am transitioning and need inspiration. Thanks for sharing.

[@mrsmusic1774]

Wow, your hair journey/story sounds so identical to my own that it's eerie! But I totally needed to hear that I'm not alone...and it can be done. I'll be 4yrs at the end of the October 💜

[@keaundraprice]

Go, girl! Thank you for watching! :)

[@queen.4629]

Thank you for sharing your journey I’m 8 weeks post relaxer…I’m glad you emphasized wearing braids and weaves because some people are so against it but it’s the quickest way to grow your hair out and to keep it healthy.

[@DependantDaughter]

Beautiful transition 👍🏽😍😍

[@shaundib.5907]

Simply beautiful! I'm four months post relaxer and just this morning I told my boyfriend I was going back to perm. I was going to cancel my install appointment. I, like you were, am very hesitant about the wig/weave process. However, after seeing this, I am going to keep it! Thanks to you and this video, I'm inspired to continue my journey to natural healthy hair.

[@shortstuffshel]

Thanks for this video. I’ve been transitioning for two years and I’m this close to perming again, but your journey is encouraging me to hang on. I also have thick hair and right now I’m struggling to manage the natural part - I need to do more protective styles.

Ever since I was a child, my hair has always been thick and healthy, thanks to my mom's diligent care. However, just before I began high school, it suddenly became tangled and unmanageable. Unsure of what to do, my mom took me to my aunt for help. Thankfully, my aunt was able to untangle my hair, although she had to cut the middle section as it was severely tangled. From that point on, I started using relaxers in my hair, and I have continued to do so until now. Now I am ready to embrace my natural hair again because I didn't know what type of hair I have.

[@dbrown2852]

What an awesome and disciplined way to transition, little cousin! If only I could do the wig thing... Not my cup of tea. Lol. But, I'm happy you achieved your goal! God Bless!

[@keaundraprice]

lol Thank you! I actually may go back to wigs for a season! No stress!

[@aprilgatson359]

I love your hair!!! I'm currently transitioning as well. I can't wait for the next video.

[@keaundraprice]

YESSSSS!! How long since your last relaxer?!

[@aprilgatson359]

Its been since 2008, however I use to get a silk press and blow out. The heat damage and hair dye really damaged my hair. I'm going back to jet black hair. Keep educating me KeKe!!

[@ladytn8209]

LOVE IT!!! KeKe girl you are inspiring me! You know I started my journey around the same time that you did in 2016 and I would go a few months and then relax my hair again, and again over time. I currently relax every 6 months (twice per year) and the time is swiftly approaching to relax again. August was the last time I relaxed and I have an appointment to get my next one this Saturday...you got me thinking about cancelling girl lol. My problem is I don't feel like dealing with my hair BUT I don't want to go to a Stylist either knowing full well I can do it myself and save some money. Your hair is absolutely gorgeous! Keep on doing what you are doing... too cute! SUBSCRIBED!!!

[@keaundraprice]

I remember! LOL You can do it!! It is definitely easier with wigs, weaves or braids! RETHINK THAT RELAXER! :)

[@keaundraprice]

Braids would be perfect for the summer!

[@cierafranklin1798]

This was so inspiring! I transitioned for 2 years before deciding to cut the rest of the relaxed ends off. My hair started to grow long in it's natural state. Unfortunately it stop when I recently got my hair colored. My hair hasn't been the same since. I am now trying to get my hair back on track. I keep my hair in protective styles majority of the time. However, I do not deep condition or cut my ends as much as I should. I would now make sure I definitely do that. Thank you for sharing.

[@keaundraprice]

Thank you for sharing, Ciera! I'd for sure suggest getting trims regularly. Your hair is always growing but trimming it will help with the breakage. I get it! Color was my thing for a while, but I saw a difference when I stopped coloring my hair. Keep me updated on your journey! :)

[@narrington7453]

What kind of hair color did you use?

[@keaundraprice]

@@narrington7453 I don't quite remember the brand but I used the same color each time, Honey Blonde.

[@yolandavenable2900]

I've been getting relaxers for years, but in the last year or two, I didn't like the bone straight look; I love how my natural hair grows in thick. I do get that it takes time. I've been getting braids all summer and I like it. I'm now looking into headband wigs; I can't do the glue stuff...lol

I am actually thinking about a headband wig myself. lol Thank you for watching!

Yes I’m ready for my journey , I’ve notice my hair isn’t retaining length and it’s the same length its thick but I just want a difference. Yes I totally understand the mandate of pressing come and relaxers , I think it’s time for a change. Will you be giving a product list that you use ?

Hi, Alexandria! yes, I have few videos coming up but i think i may just record a video on everything i use! Thanks for the idea!

Loved this video and the one that you have on tips for transitioning. I’m almost 3 months post relaxer and I’m considering going natural instead of going to the salon for a touch up. I’ve watched Many videos on transitioning and yours is far superior. Where did you purchase the wigs that you used during your transitioning?

[@keaundraprice]

Hello! Thank you so much! Its a local wig shop in Memphis. I'll try and find the name. I haven't been there since. :)

Thank you! I didn't flat iron every week..Maybe twice a month.

[@sskrzypczak234]

Hi! In the video you stated that the only thing you did to your hair was deep condition and trim before going back to a protective style. Did you never cowash or use shampoo during your transitioning process? Thank you!

[@keaundraprice]

Hi! I would shampoo every time I took my braids out. I've never been into cowashing. :)
