Transitioning
Transitioning is the process of eliminating chemical treatments and allowing the hair to grow out while gradually trimming the chemically processed ends.
Pros of Transitioning:
*You have the time to learn about your particular hair type.
*If you are not comfortable with short hair, then you can avoid that adjustment period, and avoid the wait of growing your hair back out.
*During transitioning you have the time to perfect your hair styling skills.
Cons of Transitioning
*The texture of your hair will not be consistent: which means if you decide to wear your hair in a twist out or braid out style the root of your hair might be curly while your ends will be bone straight (To avoid this simply roll the ends of your hair with rods or rollers).
The process of transitioning takes longer than if you just did “the big chop”.

comfortable.
