Hi people, what's been on?

In the last post, I shared tips for going natural via the big chop and by transitioning.
When transitioning, it can be difficult blending the two textures in such a way it looks presentable especially when you work in a coporate office.
Both of the models I used in this tutorial work in the bank.

PRODUCTS USED.
- SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie (any leave I
in conditioner)
-  Organics Root Stimulator Wrap and Set Mousse (or setting lotion/mousse of choice)
-  NappyGirl UberMoist Pudding (Or hair butter/thick oil of choice).
- Hair dryer on low setting to speed up drying. I used a portable bonnet dryer in both cases.

PROCEDURE
- I started with dried hair (both the natural hair and transitioning hair).

-I parted out a small section of hair (about half to 1 inch sections). The smaller the sections the faster it dried.

- Applied one pump of ORS Mousse, then a finger sized amount of SheaMoisture Curl Enhancing Smoothie and then a small amount of NappyGirl Pudding.

- Repeat for all sections.

- Allow to dry completely overnight. Any moisture will make the curls fall. I used a portable bonnet dryer to speed up drying.

- Once hair was dry, I oiled my hands (any light oil of choice) and unwrapped the knots carefully by winding in the opposite direction.

- I separated just once and used an afro pick comb to pick out the roots gently to hide any parts.

- Daz all!


Here are the results.
