Starting Locs with Relaxed Hair!

Hey there, future loc queen! Stepping into your natural hair journey is exciting, and I'm here to guide you every step of the way, especially if you're a "creamy crack" survivor (you're not alone!). ✨

This guide tackles your concerns and helps you transition smoothly, starting with the big question: Do I need a haircut to start locs with relaxed hair?

Not necessarily! But here's the deal:

Fresh Start: I recommend ditching the relaxer and starting with your natural hair. This avoids breakage-prone "demarcation lines" and lets you fully experience healthy loc growth.

Relaxer Workarounds: If cutting isn't your thing, know that techniques like loc extensions and latchooking exist. However, these options don't always guarantee long-term health and natural loc development.

Ultimately, the choice is yours! Remember, locs are a journey of self-love and embracing your true self.

Ready to Begin? Here's How:

• Find Your Loc Specialist: Seek a pro who understands relaxed-to-loc transitions. They'll assess your hair, recommend a loc style, and guide you through the process.

• Deep Condition: Relaxed hair needs TLC. Deep condition regularly, use natural oils and masks to keep your strands strong.

• Protect Your New Growth: Braids, twists, and bantu knots are your friends! They shield your new growth from damage and look fabulous too.

• Patience is Your Superpower: Transitions take time, so don't get discouraged. Enjoy the learning curve and celebrate each milestone on your unique journey.
  

Remember: This is YOUR journey, queen. Take it at your own pace, embrace the learning process, and rock your natural hair with confidence! With the right guidance and self-love, your locs will blossom into a stunning expression of your true self. ✨
