Get inspired by Maisa’s process and find out where to start

If you have wavy, curly and frizzy hair, have gone through one or more straightening/relaxations, but now want to get your natural texture back, this text is for you. I have two pieces of news for you: the first is that this situation can be reversed completely; the second is that for this you will need to go through the capillary transition. But calm down, believe in the process, everything will be fine, just be patient. I’ve listed some tips that can help you with this mission; come and see.

What is hair transition?

It is the process of removing the length of hair that has been subjected to straightening or relaxation. This technique takes a long time and requires a lot of patience, as you have to wait for the strands to grow so you can cut the straightened parts.

Stop chemical processes

The first step to be taken by those who want to assume natural locks is to stop straightening/relaxing the hair as soon as possible, otherwise it will never be possible to recover it. So, stop this habit now! It may be strange at first, but this is a very important step, Maisa knows very well how it is. Also, it’s worth paying more attention to treatments done in the salon! Always question whether the product to be used has a smoothing, volume-reducing action and the like, because even if they don’t actually smooth your picumã, they can also make the process difficult.

Scissors on it!

If you’ve already stopped straightening your hair, maybe getting a good cut can help you be more motivated to go through all the stages of the transition. The big chop is the most suitable for those undergoing this process, as it removes the greatest possible amount of straightened length and leaves the locks looking closer to what the final result will be, but you must already have at least 5 fingers natural root. However, some people might find it a little too radical, so I suggest a step-by-step cut so that it’s easier to get used to the new look, as the presenter did maisa.

How to disguise the different textures?

Some women prefer to wait for their hair to grow long before investing in a cut, in these cases it is as if the hair had two aspects, such as, for example, a fuller and curlier root and a straight and thin length. If this is your case, the ideal is to invest in a good finish. For that, you can bet on the combo dedoliss + curl activator cream or even on hairstyles, as in the case of Maisa, who opted for braids, as they are great for disguising this difference and also to help you with that bad hair day. But which braid should I choose? It depends on your taste, here goes for both the simplest and the box braids.

Avoid heat sources

Another very important question is about the use of styling tools that have thermal action, as they contribute to the dryness of the wires, which makes it difficult to fix the definition. So, if your goal is to have defined curls like the presenter, “give some ice” to these devices.

Bet on the right products

Those with curly/curly hair tend to have drier strands, due to the difficulty of the natural oiliness of the scalp having to run through the strand, in this context, it is essential to use a specific product line for curls, enriched with actives, such as elastin, oil coconut oil and omega 6, 7 and 9. To conquer the look of presenter Maisa, it is also worth including creams and finishers with curl activating action in your care routine, as they help to improve the definition of the thread and keep it it for longer.
