New Transitioner!!

Hello there April =)

You might be too early on in the process to really need or use kinky curly products and have good results. For now you can stick to conditioners such as Herbal Essences, Aussie, etc. ones you see at drugstores. They provide enough slip and moisture for your relaxed hair. You can also style your hair in braids using these conditioners along with an essential oil such as coconut or extra virgin olive, and wear a braidout.
p.s. if you curl the ends of your braids all the way to your scalp, or nape if you are cornrowing, and secure them with a pin, you will see GREAT results once dry, TRUST.

Happy Hair Growing!

Congratulations on your journey Aprilj90, I transitioned for 4 months and I did what Auburn suggested and used lots of oils and conditioners for slip. However, I noticed you mentioned Kinky Curly products... [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] which i LOVED while transitioning. I used the Knot Today religiously for detangling and I STILL use it. The other products were not that great until I actually BC'd because they work with curlier or kinkier textures.
I did a lot of roller sets and twists, but I hope you find a routine that works best for you.
Let us know how we can support you!

So I loved Knot Today, I was skeptical with the shampoo but that conditioner made me a believer. I'm trying out my first roller set right now. Hopefully I did it right, and will look half way decent. I think I'll try the braid out next.

Hey aprilj90, I am currently five months into my transition. Since I am a product junkie there is so many things to chose from in my stash, but mainly for shampooing I use Elasta QP Creme Conditioning Shampoo, deep conditioning I use Aubrey Organics and co washes I use either Aussie or Herbal Essence. So far the styling options for me have been braidouts(my favorite), flexi rod sets and buns. Good luck with your transition.

I really liked the braidouts when I did them. I tried roller sets but it was terrible! [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

So I cowash just about every day and shampoo about once a week, but what is this thing I hear about sealing? I have no idea what it is.

Hi, I'm a new transitioner too (last relaxer Jan.22) and I've been trying to do as much research as possible. Most girls seal their ends with olive, coconut or some other natural oil or oil mix after they apply a water based moisturizer. Sealing keeps the moisture in your hair.
