| Greetings. I'm transitioning from relaxed to natural. My last perm was april 24th. For the summer I have been wearing an afro puff pony. I would co wash with suave humectant and suave tropical conditioners and also I do the apohogee protein treatment when needed. Then, I use surge on my scalp mixed with this good hair and scalp oil from better braids. Sometimes I use parnevu tea tree oil growth creme. Then I gel up and sit under the dryer. I take a multi vitamin, 800mcg biotin, 200mg of silica, and 25 mg b6. I believe my hair growth rate has been excellent. But, I have a feeling I will get bored with wearing the same style during my whole transition. I recently tried braid outs on blow dried hair and it just didn't look good but my braiding skills or so much better. Twists I don't even wanna make the attempt and I dont think I could have my hair stylist do a rollerset for me every once in a while but I still need more ideas. So any advice on hairstyles or products will be great. Sorry for the essay. |

Braid outs should be done on wet hair then dried. I rollerset my own
hair and sometimes do a wet wrap and sit under the dryer. Also, I have
gotten cornrows. Just be sure if you get braids that it is not too
tight because that can cause breakage and be sure to moisturize.

I tried doing braid outs on wet hair and didnt like the shrinkage. My hair is already pretty short. Probably neck length. Its getting longer. Cornrows is the only braids I do get and I get those when I can. Thanks for ur response.

hi and welcome to the both of you. i have also decided to transition. i will use aloe vera gel, shea butter, and rosewater/glycerine/water as my leave in and cheapie productes for my rinse such as suave moisture milks and olive oil will be applied to lock in moisture from a good oil moisturizer(not sure yet, maybe hawaiian silky) my goal is to grow out 4-6 inches of new natural growth and do a BC. My last relaxer was in april 06. i plan on weaving and braiding to achieve my inches of growth.
