Natural Hair. Straight Hair. Natural Hair.

Hello! I hope that you guys had an amazing holiday! I ended up cooking Christmas dinner which was [insert flame emojis here]. I relaxed, went back to work and have been on the go since lol. I recently straightened my hair as well. No, I do not have many pictures, and yes, I've missed my hair. <3

How does one go from kinky-curly, to straight? How do they go from straight to kinky-curly??? There are many ways and methods. I will tell you mine, which seems to work for me. 

Kinky-Curly to Straight: 

• Do not straighten your hair often!!!!
• Yes, long hair allows you to STUNT on folk lol. However, you can lose your curl definition over time with continuous straightening. I've also noticed that the ones who straighten their natural hair excessively, EVENTUALLY cut it off due to damage. Save yourself the trouble. Find a great wig. And if you must, straighten every once in a blue moon. Fun fact: Before this time, I didn't straighten my hair for 3-4 years.
• If you can, get a professional 
• Less headache, your scalp gets massaged, and you just have to sit there and look cute. Plus, they have better quality of hair tools needed to get the job done. 
• Take your time
• If you are a DIY aficionado, please take your time. You may damage your hair in the process. 
• If you want your straight hair to last, water is NOT your friend
• Oils can be your friend
• I like argan, castor, and almond oils. A little bit goes a loooonnngggg way! 
• Trim your ends!!!
• This helps the health of your hair soooo much! Let the dead ends go beloved. Let. Them. Go. 

Straight to Kinky-Curly:

• WATER IS OFFICALLY YOUR FRIEND
• Pre-condition hair with conditioner (whatever you use is fine)
• Co-Wash hair (using conditioner to "wash" you hair)
• Hair treatment!
• This is the one step that I will not miss! I use Aphogee's Curlrific Protein Treatment. It helps lessen breakage (if I have any)

Well those are my tips! I do not straighten my hair often. I like different styles and love the feel of my natural hair <3 

Let me know what you guys do in the comments below!
