The journey from relaxer to Natural hair

Transitioning  from relaxer to natural hair

I asked three beautiful Caribbean black girls through conversations on Whats app how they felt through the entire transitioning process from relaxer to natural hair. I received three amazing response. It is very difficult in terms of maintenance but it’s worth it. It may be time consuming and very expensive. However it gets easier. What these three  girls had in common is the fact that they used protective styles to take the burden away of having to comb their hair every day. With the weekly notion of washing and steaming and applying these protective hairstyles. What it does is it allows the hair to takes it course and to grow out getting rid of the relaxer.

What these girls also have in common is the fact that when the hair grows long enough to the girls liking they cut off the remainder of the relaxer. They live the life of their hand passing through the coil of their hair relentlessly . 

I did the big chop. I took off the remainders of my relaxer and i am ready to wear my natural hair. I mean not just yet. I will still continue to do my protective hairstyles but one of the things I struggle with is confidence, wearing my hair with confidence is one of the hardest things to do. I mean my texture is very different  but after speaking to other girl with natural hair they introduced me to many products that helps with detangling and making my hair softer and much more manageable. I have not started using any products as yet or twist outs so you can say that i am still in the beginning stages. 

I asked my three amazing Caribbean girls three questions which are:

1. What was the hardest part of transitioning from relaxer to Natural hair

2. What products do you use 

3. How do you feel now with your natural hair.

Anisa Yearwood Response:

1. My hair was very thick so it was difficult combing it out but i did protective hairstyles that helped      me to cope with styling until i was ready to fully used my hair together with products.
