Some of our clients have decided to ditch the relaxers and go back to their natural coils and curls! This was so inspiring to me that I almost went natural too….key word “almost”! LOL
A few years ago I tried but I was not successful, it just wasn’t for me. I hadn’t seen my hair in its natural state in quite a long time, and did not realize the work involved! So I relaxed my hair yet again and I am a happy camper!
We have clients with the tightest coils to the loosest waves, and we style their hair by shampooing, treating, blow drying and flat ironing their hair.
Their hair looks as if it was relaxed, and not only that...the styles lasts from 1-3 weeks if cared for properly. Trims and conditioning treatments are very essential. Not to mention you also have the versatility of wearing it curly or straight. Also, taming those curls with the right products is definitely key.
If you keep styling your hair in this manner, the curl pattern in your hair will loosen up a little bit, however it won't damage it. The client in the video below hair was shampooed, treated, blow dried, flat ironed and trimmed!
There are ways that you can transition to natural, if your hair is chemically processed. It all depends on the state of the hair and your preference. You can go for the “Big Chop”, get a sew-in weave, or trim while it grows out.
