Expert tips on flawlessly transitioning to your natural hair texture

04/15/2020 19:31 CEST Updated on April 15, 2020 17:31 UTC By Ashley Jiménez

As we continue to practice social distancing, our hearts mourn over how deeply it has affected the beauty community. Spending time in our hairstylists’ chairs go beyond beauty for most, as it‘s a sense of therapy and self-care for most as we transition through different life phases. Coincidentally our current transitioning cycle has most women embracing their natural hair as they are preparing to become their own professional stylist in the upcoming months. We’re right there with you, which is why we turned to the CEO of Miss Jessie’s, Miko Branch to get all her expert tips. The powerful businesswoman’s curl-inspired company has earned the hearts of famous Hollywood stars such as  Alicia Keys ,  Lupita Nyongo ,  Halle Berry  and more groundbreaking celebs. Hence why we tapped the African-American pioneer for her top tips on transitioning as we see those curls and coils grow in.

We know the struggle all too well when you’re growing out a relaxer, and going from chemically straightened to naturally textured hair. Yikes! Don’t pull your hair out and stress over it because you do have options – so let’s strategize. The most bewitching challenge for transitioning from relaxed to natural hair is managing and styling these two very different textures at the same time. Also, we have big time love for the big chop, which is liberating and sheer #Freedom,” expressed Miko. Try Miss Jessie’s Transitioner’s Magic, $16, it’s innovative and phthalate-free hair elixir that will moisturize your new natural growth, revive and coat your relaxed hair as well as fight frizz and prevent curl shrinkage. Another add-on we suggest is Miss Jessie’s Multicultural Curls, $16, as it’s a go-to excellent go-to for multi-textured hair. It is soft, lightweight, wash-n-go styling. And, it gives your curls uniformity and manageability while at the same time fights frizz and adds just the right amount of super soft hold.

Ingredients Insights

The right tools = a world of difference. Remember the three R’s: renew, replenish, rejuvenate. Always use hair care products AKA tools that were 100% made with you in mind – whether your textured hair is wavy, curly, or kinky. We see you, beauties! Wavy hair can be frizzy, lifeless and limp if you don’t use lightweight, non-crunchy products. Dryness and shrinkage are major issues for curly hair, so opt for moisturizing products with a certain degree of hold. Frizz, dryness, shrinkage and style preservation are common for those with kinky hair – and super duper moisturizers are key. No matter your hair type – ensure the tools you use are specifically designed to love on your textured hair. Keep in mine to nourish and be kind to your scalp. Healthy hair starts at the roots, literally! Feed a dry, itchy and flaky scalp – and promote hair growth while doing so. Balance your daily diet with essential proteins and while shampooing (with a moisturizing non-sulfate cleanser!), massage your scalp to increase the flow of blood, relieve stress, and stimulate hair follicles. It’s a win-win! Try Miss Jessie’s Grow Strong Mafura Hair Oil, $10 that is infused with tons of healthy oils: soybean, seed butter, avocado, castor, jojoba seed, argon, sweet almond, Abyssinian and coconut oil.
