My Natural Hair Journey And Transitioning Tips + Pictures

[@Saditty]

Don’t you guys just look back and just think wow, us strong black women started this natural hair movement✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿 years ago I hated my thick curly hair and always wanted my hair permed or relaxed. Now you see sistas embracing our beautiful curls now, I would never in a million years think of putting that damaging relaxer in my hair 😉❤️❤️❤️

[@carlottalockett3725]

It's nothing damaging about the relaxer.. It's how it's maintained. Your hair can be damaged even if it's natural. It's all about taking care of your hair!

[@mini_kimmyy1323]

Yesssss!! :D

[@mylittleservant]

XclusiveeSa I know right I was being fooled that straight and stringy hair was beautiful and never really embracing my natural curly hair!

[@mamichula1177]

I fucked up and put a perm in my hair because my parents have naturally straight hair (dad) and 3c curls (mom) lol I have 4b possibly 4c and used to be so ashamed but Idek why anymore. It’s so pretty to me and I miss it so much. I love how strong and resilient it was and that I could do so many styles and at the end of the day it would just spring back to shape 😩💕 I’m Afro latina so I get told I have bad hair a lot. My parents have grown to love my natural hair and stopped pushing for perms so now I just have to learn how to accept and love myself. I hope everyone can find that same love and acceptance 💕

[@itz_key4332]

Right siis

[@Dirasluvstory]

You gotta just keep at it. Going back is never an option so you just keep going

[@nai_tt2351]

Nola Hill I know . When I first started to transition I had no patience at all. But after a month or so I had lots of patience. I barley wear my hair out because of different textures all over the place . So I usually do twist outs and other protective styles and they have helped a lot.

[@TheBuildingFreak]

Protective styles and trims.

[@LyssieLysse]

This is my 3rd time transitioning and the struggle in trying to go natural! It’s not the process, but my mom stopped me from going natural the first two times because my hair didn’t look nice aka no longer “presentable” and I listened to her. Last year because of the panoramic I was afraid to be out in these streets so I didn’t get my 2nd relaxer for 2020 and my hair was thriving! It’s been a year and 3 months since my last relaxer and I don’t plan on going back to using one. I never wanted one in the first place and I was 14 when I had gotten my first one.

[@jjameswink1]

Hi. Your hair is absolutely beautiful. I transitioned for 13 months then couldn't take it anymore. My twist outs ( with perm rods at the end) looked horrible and didn't last. I usually would just keep it twisted till wash day... thank goodness for quarantine😷. After growing out about 4-5 inches, I chopped the remaining 4-5 inches. And now I am loving it... even though it is much shorter than I planned to wear it. But my curls are poppin and I'm lovin it... so much so that I might keep it short or go even shorter. I figure I can't go wrong now... long or short, now that it's all natural. Good luck to everybody still in the struggle... it's real but results are so worth it. So Be patient.

Great info! Thank You! I looked into transitioning in 2010 but had so many BIG events, Weddings, Reunions, HomeComing & I did not want to wear Weave as Everyone I knew personally had been doing then to transition. So here I am again 10 years later during this Pandemic & NOT wanting to go into a Salon still, so I'll begin, again. Eventually I'll have to mask up & go get trims though, cause I'm not comfortable doing that.

Your hair is so beautiful I dnt understand whats wrong with my hair. I’ve been natural all my life but I was actually a healthy natural since about 2013. My hair fails to grow past right under my collarbone. Idk why it grows so slow. Like almost person who transitions, one year later they have mid back length I dnt understand. Also I dnt use heat and I barely wear braids and weave so idk what’s going on with my hair growth. Ik MY hair grows slow but everyone in my family has fast growing hair sooo

[@ExclusivelySa]

Kiarra C. Try black castor hair growth oil massage I️t in your scalp about twice a week and drinks lots of water so the blood can flow

[@officiallycameron737]

If heard “if you keep you hair on your shoulder it won’t grow past your shoulder” but if your hair isn’t always on your shoulder try protective styles

[@KiarraErica]

ExclusivelySa I literally do that

[@KiarraErica]

Officially Cameron my hair is only at my shoulders if I straighten it, which I dnt at all so it’s never touching my shoulder bc I keep it in its natural state

[@goldengoodiestv2177]

@Kiarra C I promise you if you wear sew ins for a year , you will see a tremendous amount of growth. You prob. have the type of hair like most that just need to be protected. Pretty much left alone. It need to be in braids to me sew ins work the best. Take down trim and put back in you will go from shoulder length to armpit length in no time -promise you

My 3c 4a hair was down to my butt when i was 8 and now im 13 and befoee i chopped it, it was a lil past my shoulders now that its cut and super healthy,silky,and moisturize,its right above my shoulders and so bouncy and shiny!😂

[@viancadavis2274]

I was natural all the way until 5th grade I begged my mama for a relaxer because people use to stick pencils in my pig tails and laugh because they would get stuck...and my hair got long around the middle of my back but it wasn’t until 8 I feel in love with natural hair as of now I’m 10 months half natural(still have my relaxed ends🤕) I have been doing protective styles and as soon as I hit the year mark I and going to big chop I am 15 btw ❤️❤️❤️

[@jimenah3405]

I texturized my hair back in October 2018 and I just recently texturized in April. I have decided that I want to go back natural because I don’t want to keep getting texturized. I started my texturized hair because I was really tender headed but now I want to grow out my hair for about 2-3 years but probably not that long because my hair grows fast but I just want to go back to my 4b hair.

[@mamanjie7933]

I decided that I was gonna start transitioning a couple weeks ago, because my roots in the middle of my head feel like they have a curl pattern, and I’ve never really used heat on my hair but I’ve been getting perms since I was little. It’s been hard so far because I have thick hair already, and I don’t have lots of products. I’ve got a lot of damage (practically all of my hair and my edges) but I hope to do the big chop some day. For now I’m just gonna start trimming off dead hair 😊

[@shamirab5352]

[@PrEaTySwEet]

I started transitioning July 2017 and after three months i started getting some curls again and my hair looked really nice. Then i straightened my hair for a special event and it KILLED my hair. All my right curly hairs that were repairing all turned loose and straight and thin. I was devastated and hated myself so bad. I then started dying my hair again cuz i just didn’t know what to do. But i haven’t straightened my hair since that incident. So i have trimmed my hair but my hair honestly just feels and looks way worse than i originally had it when i was straightening it like every two weeks (before transitioning). I honestly have been so depressed cuz my hair just looks awful to me. I just feel like my hair was born to not grow :( i don’t know what to do anymore

[@pinkskye8501]

Check out herboo botanicals shampoo, it's no sulphate n zero preservatives. They also have great natural hair oils like Jamaican castor oil n coconut oil etc

[@cathythecloser]

Love your hair. I’m contemplating going natural, but very scared. I’m older, my hair is on the thin side and without a relaxer it is nappy. It seems like a lot of people that go natural have hair that is already on the curly side and this seems to make the transition easier.
