A while ago, I asked some of my lovely Instagrammers what topics they'd like to see me cover. Never one to leave my peeps hangin', I started organizing the topics in a way that would make sense for transitioners. I want to make sure that I cover EVERYTHING to help readers have a successful, less-than-traumatic transition to natural hair. The road ain't easy, but all hell doesn't have to break loose every wash day. So here's how this thing is gonna go down - starting MONDAY!

In this post, I will cover the basics - what is transitioning, how to transition (in general), how long to transition, when to trim, and what tools you'll need to transition. I will also cover what heat damage, color damage, and relaxer damage looks like.

The primary concern for transitioners is breakage. In this post, I'll go through identifying breakage vs. shedding, how to prevent breakage, and care for hair that is breaking. It will also include tips for proper moisture and retention, as well as how to have a drama-free wash day.

Transitioning 105: Product Junkie Madness
In this post, I'll cover product junkie-ism: the good, the bad, the ugly. I'll also discuss tips for not paying an arm and a leg for products in general, which products to avoid, how to avoid being a PJ if you don't want to become one, and if you are one, how to do it and not go bankrupt.
