Hi Everyone -

I have recently decided to stop relaxing my hair in hopes of getting the hair back that I had in elementary school! I don't want to cut the relaxed hair off in one setting; I would like to make a gradual transition by allowing my natural hair to grow in while trimming the relaxed ends periodically. Any suggestions for keeping my hair healthy while going through the transition?

Hi and WELCOME!!! You will find a plethora of information here from the blessed and knowledgeable women on the board The one thing I can stress to you is moisture, moisture, moisture!!! That has been the key for me maintaining my natural hair. Proper moisturization will make your hair much easier to manage. Finding the right balance/products, etc is the key.
