While transitioning and starting my natural hair journey is long behind me, I know that every day there is someone out there who is just getting started. I often make fun of myself and the awful time I had while transitioning. In this video, I share some of the many ways I went wrong during my transition. And how much better my life would’ve been if I could have gotten my hands on Audrey Sivasothy’s newest book, The Science of Transitioning:: A Complete Guide to Hair Care for Transitioners and New Naturals.

These are the biggest mistakes that I made when transitioning from relaxed to naturally textured hair.

MISTAKE #1: Treating your textured hair like relaxed hair while transitioning.
MISTAKE #2: Not wearing styles that blend the relaxed and natural textures.
MISTAKE #3: Using non-professional shears to trim or big chop.
MISTAKE #4: Leaving extensions in for too long.
MISTAKE #4: Not doing any/enough research on naturally textured hair care.
