* Natural hair should avoid a too hot pressing comb, flat iron or blow dryer at all costs. A heated styling tool
that is just too hot will ruin curls and cause hair to not revert back to it's naturally curly state.
*Naturally curly hair should always use a heat protectant when going for a straight look. But remember the
previous tip...no heat protectant in the world will offer protection for your natural hair against a too hot iron.
* The safest option for natural hair when going for a straight look is to roller set on large rollers and sit
under a hooded dryer. When hair is completely dry remove rollers, wrap hair or place in a high ponytail to
remove some of the curls. This wont give you a bone straight look but you wont have that burnt smell in
your hair and your curls will still remain when you wash your hair!
* When using Kinky-Curly TM brand products for a wash and go hairstyle, it can last a few days if properly
maintained. A satin bonnet, silk scarf or satin pillowcase can preserve your hairstyle. If your hair is long
enough, tie hair in a high ponytail so you do not crush your curls while you toss and turn.
* Do not go to sleep with wet or damp hair, this will cause frizz.
* When styling hair in cooler weather, instead of allowing your hair to air dry naturally you can dry your
hair using a blowdryer with a diffuser or concentrated nozzle attachment. Hold the blowdryer a few inches
away from hair and keep moving until the hair is completely dry.
* Try to not touch your hair before it is dry as this may cause frizz.

Not ready to do the ‘BIG CHOP’ and cut off all of your relaxed hair just yet?
Here are some tips to help you make the transition from relaxed hair to a full head of beautiful, healthy,
natural hair without cutting it all off right away!.
* Remember, you cannot wash a relaxer out. The structure of your hair has been chemically altered
and no amount of shampoo or vinegar can remove a relaxer from your hair. You must either grow it out
or cut it off.
* The line of demarcation is the area where your new growth meets your relaxed hair, which is very
weak and prone to breakage. It is important to keep your hair moisturized and detangled in order to
avoid breakage. Always use a wide-tooth comb and good detangling conditioner such as KNOT TODAY.
* Do not use heated styling tools during your transition. A blow dryer with a comb attachment can
stretch and break the hair. A flat iron or pressing comb used regularly or even just once at too high a
temperature can burn the cuticle layer and damage the natural hair that is growing in. High
temperatures from heated styling tools can break the sulfide bonds of our hair which can cause your
hair to straighten out resulting in many different textures on your head.

* Opt for styles that will blend the two different textures of hair such as roller sets, straw sets or
two-strand twist sets. Use of a good styling serum such as SPIRAL SPRITZ will ensure a longer lasting
frizz free style. Other style such as braids, flat twists or individual twists also work well to protect the hair
and blend the two textures
* Trim hair regularly during the transition phase as your natural hair grows in cutting off a bit of relaxed
ends each time
* Heal your scalp to prevent 'scab hair'. After years of applying chemical relaxers to our scalp our
follicles may become damaged. The shape of the follicle determines the texture of our hair and as new
hair grows in through a damaged follicle the result can be dry, rough hair also known as scab hair. A
healing scalp tonic like TRANSITIONERS TONIC enriched with aloe vera can prevent or minimize this.
* When your hair has reached a length that you are comfortable with you can now cut off the
remainder of the relaxed hair. You can now enjoy the versatility of having natural hair. Some of the
styles you used to transition with can still be used now that you are 100% natural. You can roller set on
large rollers for a straight/wavy look or twist or braid set for a crinkly look. And best of all you can now
sport a wash and go look using CURLING CUSTARD Apply to wet hair out of the shower, air dry or use
a diffuser and go.

* Hair should be washed at least once a week. Kinky-Curly TM brand work best when you start with a
'clean slate' of hair.
* Hair should be combed and detangled ONLY with a wide tooth comb when it is wet and loaded with
conditioner.
* Thick, coarse textured hair needs moisture and lots of it.
* Oil does not moisturize. Oil will lubricate hair strands and protect hair from drying out but moisture must
be present to begin with.
* Water is the best moisturizer and is not drying to your hair. You can wash hair everyday if you use a
