One of the best things you can do for transitioning hair is to use protective hairstyles.
"This stage is perfect to start experimenting with fun protective hairstyles like twist-outs, bantu knots and a rod set not only to keep your hair in good shape, but to also blend the different textures that you're probably dealing with as you grow out the chemically treated parts of your hair," says Stephen.
When trying any of these styles, apply a little hydrating gel to shape the style while locking in the moisture.
