Gently Detangle
Where your natural hair meets the relaxed hair is where most people don’t get past. It is a point of weakness and the source of breakage for many who are trying to transition. For this reason, use your fingers instead of combs and brushes when detangling and styling. You can also use apple cider vinegar to help in the process of detangling.
Have Patience
You’re gonna need it. The two very different textures can be overwhelming, often the reason why many women chop prematurely. And a hasty Big Chop could lead to a return to the relaxer, or months of confidence issues related to your hair.
