Transitioning Routine
Make it stand out
stand out, get those curls out! DO WHATEVER IT TAKES AND BE YOURSELF.
Do you know a time I don’t miss? My first 6 months of transitioning. After I washed my hair, I was just expecting a miracle, the miracle of having beautiful, healthy curly hair. But as you already know (if you are reading this article is because you are too, struggling) years and years of flat ironing your hair, doing keratin treatments, and chemically perming your hair straight won’t reverse in 2 washes. so the process becomes disappointing and frustrating.
DON’T LET YOURSELF GIVE UP!
1 year into transitioning: One “terrible” haircut, One “ok” haircut, and One amazing haircut later, and still my hair doesn’t look like @hif3licia @kellyshahbazian @curlswithcoral or @chebella . The best thing is that i have no idea how my curls will look like after they are all recovered and healthy, and that’s going to be the best revelation!
My wash & go routine consists of the following:
NO Sulfates Shampoo - Devacurl No Poo Only apply on your roots, your ends don’t need shampoo directly, EVER! They’ll get the needed dose, while you are rinsing when it travel down your strands with the help of water.
Deep Condition in every single wash, and leave it for 20-40 mins. If your hair is like mine, as the days go by your hair get dryer in the ends, meaning it needs moisture, don’t waste time and money in regular conditioners. Go big or go home! I use Briogeo, Don’t despair, Repair!
Don’t towel dry your, this will make your hair super frizzy, instead towel dry with a 100% cotton t-shirt, or a microfiber towel.
Put the product in your hair on soaking wet hair, not damp.
Rake product through hair evenly.
After you are done applying all the product, scrunch, scrunch!
Avoid diffusing if you are on your transition journey. You hair will thank you, and it makes a huge difference!
When totally dry, fluff your hair with a pick.
Refresh with water and your favorite product!
