Just when I think everyone is going natural, I get an email from someone who just made the decision to join the natural hair community. Whether it’s because they want a healthier hair care option, are curious about their texture, or want to embrace their natural beauty, they all start at the same place. That place is the decision to no longer use chemical relaxers. But then what? Some opt to ‘big chop’ and start fresh right away. The majority, however, decide to transition to natural hair by leaving the relaxed hair intact and growing their unrelaxed hair out. When I started transitioning in July 2008, I found out by trial and error – error mostly – how difficult transitioning can be when you have tightly coiled hair. Check out my article over on 4CHairChick.com about transitioning. I hope it will help you better deal with the frustrations that come with transitioning, so you can count it all joy.
