CUT OFF THE PERMED HAIR: You can wear your hair in twist or a mini fro. But the relaxed hair has got to go!
DO NOT PRESS NATURAL HAIR THAT GROWS WITH RELAXED HAIR TO AVOID CUTTING YOUR HAIR: This is only going to break your hair. You must lose the relaxed hair all together. The goal is to strengthen your hair, but all you will do is damage the natural hair that is coming in.
STYLING CAN BE DIFFICULT AT FIRST; TRY THE "TWIST OUT" LOOK: You can achieve this look by braiding or twisting the hair. Then use a setting gel on the hair. After about a day or so, you will have a wavy/crinkly look that minimizes the different stages and textures you hair may be going through.
The transition is far from easy, but you will achieve the natural look you desire with chemical free hair. If you prefer chemicals in your hair, make sure it is well taken care of so that it will keep growing. Personally, I wash my hair at least once a week with shampoo and conditioner. I never blow dry my hair because that causes serious breakage. I also get "touch-ups" every 4-6 weeks.
I hope this article help you!! Good luck :)
