When you decide you are no longer going to relax or chemically alter your new growth, you are in a phase known as "transitioning." You are transitioning from relaxed hair to natural hair. For many of us, transitioning or going natural was not an easy decision to make, but once the decision’s made the journey begins!

The transition phase is the most difficult, simply because it’s the beginning. To chop or not to chop; grow out with extensions; styling though the transition of your hair having two textures – straw sets, braids, knots, mini afros…it’s a lot to decide and a journey that requires patience.

How did you transition? What styles did you turn to while transitioning?
