We know you should never say never…but it’s safe to say that you never really have to do the ‘big chop’ in order to go from relaxed or chemically treated to natural hair. If you take great care of your fragile relaxed ends and ‘scab hair’ (where the relaxed hair meets your natural hair), than it is very possible to gradually transition and grow your hair out until you’re ready to cut off the ends.
Even though transitioning slowly from relaxed to natural is always a possibility, it is not always very easy. That is why we’ve rounded up these 25 hot styles for natural transitioning hair. Blend two textures and look fab all in one effortless style:
