So I've been growing out my relaxed hair for about 5 or 6 months now and my natural hair is really really really thick! I can't even put my hair into one pontytail with out lumps and bumps on the side, even with gel, damp or any other products!
I use a ponytail puff to wear my hair everyday and now the ends are breaking off and the hair is becoming dry.
Is there a hair care regime to soften my hair and to make it more managable?
(preferably organic)
How do you manage your natural hair/ new growth?
Black hair care regime for relaxed to natural transition?
Hello, I am a hair dresser. My advice to you is to get your hair braided so your ends don't break off. When you have new growth, you comb harder than you do with just relaxed hair and that puts unneeded tension on the relaxed hair. To soften your hair, comb your hair with a wide tooth comb while you are conditioning after you shampoo. Use hair lotion or blow out cream when you dry your hair. Try using hair oil and not hair grease and wrap foam instead of gel. Hair gel can break your hair off also. Hope this helps!
hey I went natural almost 2 1/2 yrs. ago and my hair is extremely thick, but in a good way. Your hair will break and fall out due to the permed hair coming out. Just get your ends trimmed regularly and keep it braided!!! Braids will help you transition through the "breaking" period without anyone noticing and it should help it grow. But u should know it won't be any more manageable when you take the braids out for a while. I use Nioxxin shampoo and conditioner and it works wonders! nothing will look amazing at first because your hair isn't used to not being permed yet. Just give it time and don't expect anything over night. I kept braids in almost non stop for a bout a year then got it flat ironed and although the hair dresser had a VERY hard time combing through it and kept insisting i get a perm, the flat ironing looked amazing when she finished! But my hair is still very thick so it will frizz easily and "pop out" of a straight style very quickly and now after so long without a perm it make my braids look old very fast. But thats good cause it means my roots are growing faster, now i'm at the point where i just need a good natural hair product like kccc and my transitioning is done. hopoe i've helped!
