Im changing my hair from relaxed to natural,!!!?

Now my hair is 2 different textures and I dont know what to put in it or how to style it! Like about 3 inches of my hair is wavy and the rest is still relaxed.And since my natural hair was thick, my roots are thick and puffy!

DaMM GIrL! I feel for you, I did the natural thing a few years back %26amp; I'm sorry to report that unless you have thin hair with loose kinks you're going to have to get your hair braided or take the plunge %26amp; cut all the relaxed hair off %26amp; go fro. Eventually the relaxed hair will start to break off %26amp; that can damage your new growth, so those are the best two choices. If you can get a press %26amp; curl that might buy you a few more months, but hot combs can damage your hair %26amp; change the texture - so you might be right back were you started.



I got individual braids w/synthetic curly hair (tied off at the end) %26amp; I loved them. They were easy to wash %26amp; required no serious maintenance. I'd get the front re-done every month %26amp; my whole head done every three months. I'd usually give my head a break %26amp; have an Afro for 2 or 3 weeks in between. Fro's are easy in a warm climate just wash - leave the conditioner in to dry %26amp; you're done. But eventually my hair got too long to braid %26amp; I'm lazy (my fro needed to be washed daily - not fun in the winter) so, back to fryin' %26amp; Dyein'. Good luck, there are allot more products %26amp; info for natural hair care out now - so at least your not alone. 7 years ago everyone thought I was crazy!

Keep in mind that when you are between two textures your hair is likely to break off. You should either cut it or braid it until you have all natural hair and the perm is gone..



If you prefer to do neither, you can roller set your hair to make it curly , you can to twists like two strand twists.



You should cut out the perm since it is going to break off any way though.
