Thanks to Thank God I'm Natural for sending me these hair tips for the KingdomCurls.org December Event: P.S. I Love Your Hair: Christmas Affair and allowing me to put this on my blog. These tips are according to TGIN as transition tips for those going from being relaxed to natural. I will be listing my own on another page soon. Hope this helps and stay encouraged.

If you are thinking of growing out your

relaxer, here are some tips to help you

get started:

1. Be patient. Transitioning from relaxed to

natural hair takes time -- but having patience and

getting to know your hair texture will make the

journey all the more enjoyable.

2. Use a Moisturizing Shampoo. A good moisturizing

shampoo like Elucence’s Moisture Benefits Shampoo

will gently cleanse your hair without stripping it

dry of its natural oils. You should also be washing

your hair at least every seven to ten days to keep

your natural hair soft and moisturized.

3. Deep Condition, Deep Condition, Deep

Condition! As your relaxer grows out, your new

growth may start to feel dry and hard. Keep your hair on the right track by using a deep conditioner

after every shampoo such as Organic Root Stimulator Replenishing Pack.

4. Go Light. Go for styling products made with natural oils instead of heavy pomades, gels, and

waxes. Light oils are not only easily absorbed by the hair and scalp, but they help to nurture and

condition your natural hair as it grows.

5. Get Regular Trims. Trimming your ends can make combing your hair easier and will keep

your curls looking fresh.

6. Minimize Heat Styling. Avoid going overboard with pressing and flat ironing. Too much heat

can reduce the hair’s elasticity and can permanently damage your virgin curl pattern.

7. Accessorize. If you are bored with your transition style, there are countless barrettes, scarves,

and headbands that will add just the right amount of umph to your do. Earrings are also a great

way to give your style a lift.
