10 Do's and Don'ts for transitioning to natural hair


Hey ladies, wanna  transition to natural hair without complications? 😊 then follow these 10 Do's and Don'ts.


1 . Do not use chemicals
Its the obvious, but must be said, do not relax your hair, this damages your hair and over time,your hair will lose its elasticity and strength.

2. Don't apply  heat to your hair
    Drop the heat, stay away from hair dryers, curling irons etc. heat damages natural hair.

3. Don't  shampoo with sulphate.
    Sulphate removes all natural hair oils leaving it dry and prone to breakage.
4. Do use fingers to detangle.
    Use plenty conditioner to detangle your hair with your fingers. Your fingers move easier than a comb.

 5. Do Trim
     You must trim off the relaxed ends of your hair gradually two inches every month, this will prevent split ends causing damage to your new growth.

6.  Do deep condition regularly

     OMG!!! This is a must  !!! You can’t starve your hair. This is like food for your hair. Apply deep conditioner of your choice and leave for 30 mins.

7.  Do  sleep with a satin pillowcase
     Satin pillowcases do not absorb the oils from your hair.

8. Be patient !!!
    Natural Hair is  process, relax and let your hair do its thing.

9.  Do be prepared-
     Have your basic tools; rat tail combs, bobby pins, detangling combs and shower cap.

10. Do change your routine
      Be prepared to switch things up a bit.

Leave and go !!!

The key to maintaining moisture in natural hair is a great leave in conditioner. Mixtress J has an amazing leave in conditioner that works wonderssssss for your hair. Then there's the Irish Moss and my oh my, its a wonderful product that keeps the hair moisturized by only using a small amount rubbed in the palm of your hands and massaged into your hair. I swear by it. It also has a great scent and works well to fight the frizz on those humid days. This thing is sooo good that you can use it as a "wash and go" with no product build up.  Trust meh

Liberation Day!!!!

The straight stringyyy ends fraustrated me on a daily basis. So ya girl woke up one Saturday morning , got dressed and headed to Arima into the barber's chair. Twenty minutes later voilaaaa. I'm walking down the stairs feeling ten pounds lighter. I felt sooooo liberated, I was just smiling on my journey home. Lorsh, my kids thought I was crazy when I walked in the door. I rocked my bald head for a couple of days until I decided I'll be a blondie!!! I've been a blondie ever since with no regrets, no worries on what to do with my head on mornings.

Moisturised Poppin Curls

Lovies, Do you want curls that  pop??? Then follow these simple steps. 1) No deep-conditioning is too much for your moisture craving hair type. So Shoot for a treatment once or twice per week. 2) To make your curls even happier, apply the deep conditioner while you're in the shower allowing the steam to help seal in the moisture. 3) Work the conditioner through the coils, avoiding your roots and concentrating on the ends. 4) Rinse with cool water and leave in a bit of conditioner to protect and coat each strand. There you have it. Curls galore......
