The Big Chopper

You go, girl! You’ve chosen to take the plunge and cut all of your relaxer out so you can be naturally beautiful—fast! Here are three things you need to know:

1) GET REGULAR TRIMS TO GET THROUGH THE “SCAB HAIR PEROID”: The first six-eight months of growth after your chop isn’t your true hair texture just yet (your scalp and follicles are still healing). Get trims regularly and don’t worry about getting a lot of length at the beginning; embrace your sassy new ’do!

2) TRAIN YOUR CURLS: As your true curl pattern grows in, it may not be uniform. Transitioningmovement.com will teach you how to do your hair in styles that train it to grow into more defined S-shaped curls.

3) CO-WASH: To fight extreme dryness, you must co-wash: use a conditioner daily, or as often as you need to, like you would a shampoo. This will break up product buildup and cleanse as it adds intense moisture into your hair.
