Nice thread hair twin!!!

Subscribing to it... I am 18 weeks post and cowashing and also DC'ing seem to be helping a lot

Braids. This was before I knew about healthy hair practices so I never used any products.

I couldn't have transitioned without my half wigs. I kept my hair braided underneath and did not have to worry or deal with the 2 textures except on wash days.

The thing that helped me the most was figuring out the things that didn't work for me.
#1 - I was forcing the air drying issue...bad idea! Once I realized that some low blow dryer heat wasn't going to make my hair self destruct, life got much easier.

#2 - once I got deeper into my transition with more new growth the detangling issues increased. Silicon Mix helped with this but what really helped was detangling with my head submerged in water. I would run a bath (usually using shampoo as a bubble bath) Get in, lay on my back with my hair under the water and detangle with a shower comb with the hair under the water (one section at a time) 3 or 4 sections.

Couldn't have transitioned without my LHCF! You ladies gave me the confidence to do it, the tools to keep going and the mentality that natural hair is beautiful (no offence but now I think its even more beautiful than relaxed hair could ever be)

Body Shop Brazil Nut mask.

My half caps & Joico Hydrating Balm DC. Half caps save me from dealing with the two textures on a daily basis.

One product would have to be ORS Replenishing Conditioner. Deep conditioning and conditioner washes are the best but lately the one consistent ease has come from that ORS.

Aussie Moist Conditioner has been a lifesaver!
