Happy #selfcaresunday beautiful Queens!🫶🏾I hope you’re doing very well and are taking the time to practice some form of self-care today. Who’s washing their hair today? 👀 . Below are my 10 tips that I incorporated into my hair routine when I was transitioning to natural in 2017 that helped me in my journey: ⬇️⬇️⬇️ . ➡️ Create a wash day routine (pre-poo, shampoo, condition, deep condition & style.) Having a routine will help you have a better understanding on what steps to take on wash day. ➡️ Since you’re dealing with two textures, pre-poo on wash day. Pre-pooing will help you remove the shed hair as well as add moisture to your hair making your wash day go smoother. ➡️ Gradually trim your ends. As the new growth continues to come in, You should be cutting the dead ends. ➡️ Stay away from heat. No more flat ironing & straightening you hair while you’re transitioning. Your hair is too fragile during this time. Focus on getting your hair healthy first. Once you’ve mastered this, The growth will come. ➡️Be very gentle when detangling your hair, Remember you’re dealing with two textures. Try finger detangling more to help prevent breakage during this process. ➡️ Do protective styles that you feel comfortable with while you’re transitioning until you’re ready to do the big chop. ➡️ Deep condition your hair regularly. Deep conditioning helps strengthen your hair making your strands stronger & healthier. Do not skip this step on wash day. ➡️ Check in with your hair regularly. Don’t let your hair get too dry. This will create breakage and remember you’re dealing with two textures so your hair is already fragile. Moisturize your hair when needed and seal it with an oil to help that moisture stay in your hair. ➡️ Incorporate protein treatments at least once a month. Protein treatments help improve the strength and elasticity of your hair. ➡️ Embrace your journey!💗 Stay positive, take pictures of your progress and stay committed. .
