How should patrons care for their hair when making the relaxer to natural transition?
When I went natural in 1993, I allowed my hair to grow to about one inch and I myself box-braided my hair with extensions for 2 months. I then removed the braids, shampooed and conditioned my hair and re box-braided my hair. I did this process for 6 months and then I gave myself the ‘big chop’ to my natural tresses which was about 3 inches in length. The quicker a person removes the chemical hair from their natural tresses, the better. With the right hair care maintenance, your natural tresses will flourish before your eyes. Remember, healthy hair is contributed from a healthy diet, positive mind set, and professional hair care maintenance.
