Check out my guide to going natural for tips on transitioning. This article explains how to go natural, how to transition smoothly and how to maintain your natural hair.
Advice for transitioning: You want to be sure to create a hair care regimen . Check out that post for more details on how to do so. Before you decide what products to purchase, be sure to determine your hair porosity. More than anything you want to spend your time transitioning by being extremely gentle, and loving to your hair. Deep condition often, don't use heat, finger detangle as often as possible to reduce breakage, etc. Here are some good posts about transitioning:
Maintaining your hair at night: This will make or break you in terms of hair retention. We constantly grow hair but if it is breaking off at the same rate it is growing, you will not retain any length. There are many methods to tying up your hair whether it be with a scarf, or bonnet. Some people like to spritz with water and re-moisturize before tying it up. Everyone has a different preference. Here are posts about maintaining your hair at night:
