😩HOW I TURNED MY HAIR(and my bra) around! 😍

The photo on the left is from summer 2022. I started going natural from relaxed hair in Jan of 2022…so basically all my hair and ends was relaxed and needed to be cut.

It was a rough time for me as I lost weight and my bra was all crinkly and so was my life. 🥹🫠

The photo on the right is my hair now….its 100% 4C natural.

Here’s what I’ve been doing the last 3 years:

💎 Link in Bio for Hair Tutorial💎

YouTube: HIIH Society (Link in bio)

https://youtube.com/@hiihsociety

💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

Regimen:

Take down hair (do not comb)

1. Spray olaplex 0 till a little damp

2. Add Olaplex 3 to hair and let both sit for 10 min

3. Wash hair with shu uemera ultimate reset shampoo & pat dry with soft microfiber towel

4. Add shu uemera ultimate reset mask to hair

5. Add Aussie moist conditioner to hair

6. Add ORS replenishing mask to hair

7. Cover with plastic cap & deep condition with a heat cap for 10 min

8. Rinse with very COLD WATER (do not dry!!!)

——————————-

While wet (in this order!)

9. Add Garnier Fructis sleek & shine leave in

10. Add shu uemera nourishing hair oil

11. Add coconut oil

12. Add Now Foods Shea nut oil

13. Add ion silk drops

14. Part hair in two sides with fingers and tie up each side so ends are tucked in

15. Take down one side and start detangling in small sections

16. Comb each section with a wide tooth comb the use a denman brush.

17. Bantu each section & continue until the whole head is done.

18. Take the section you started with and unwrap the Bantu knot.

19. Spray with EVA NYC 10 in 1 spray

20. Blow dry with ion pink smoothing blow dryer attachment on HIGH.

Continue until entire head is done.

21. After your blowdry, tie your hair in a loose bun on your head, start with the back and flat iron in thin sections on 350. I use Gold N Hot ceramic flat iron.

I do this EVERY two weeks and I do not do heat styling, or treatments in between.

... Read moreTransitioning from relaxed to natural hair can be a life-changing experience, especially for those with textured hair. Many individuals face challenges during this journey, including managing their hair health and style. It's essential to maintain a nourishing hair care regimen that promotes growth and restores moisture. Utilizing products like Olaplex and deep conditioning treatments can significantly improve the quality of your hair. Regular routines involving leave-ins, oils, and protective styles such as Bantu knots can protect hair from damage and enhance hydration. Experimenting with products suited for 4C hair is crucial for achieving defined curls. Additionally, embracing your natural hair texture contributes to self-acceptance and personal style evolution. Consider joining communities online dedicated to natural hair care where you can share experiences, tips, and support. Many resources are available on YouTube that offer tutorials and advice for various hair types, making it easier to navigate the transition. With patience and attention, anyone can enjoy the beauty of their natural hair while finding confidence in their unique style.
