SoBlessed,
First of all thank you so much for your advice and encouragement. I am one month into my transition and I must tell you it has been an adventure. I love how soft the Curls Products makes my hair my hardest issue these days is my daily styling options. I tried the wash and air dry method you suggested and my hair was too poofy and frizzy so I crossed that styling option off the list.
Lately I have been able to sport the bun which looks great because my new growth already is forming waves but I have discovered that the hair pins give me a great migraine by the end of the day so two business days tops for that style.
I tried wearing the pony tail but my relaxed ends do not curl at all and a friend suggested that I buy a Ponytail add on which basically you place your hair in a ponytail and this add on covers your hair and gives you either ringlets of curls, straight hair, or waves. I also tried the method that I use with my daughter of washing and braiding my hair at night and that usually gives me the curly/wave ends for my ponytail days.
On top of my styling trial and error I have a new issue. I have to color my hair. My hair prematurely grays (family trait) so I have been coloring my hair every 8-10 weeks if not my hair will be streaked with gray (root to tip). I was wondering will this hamper my transition? Is there any extra products I need to add to my regime to protect my hair? Also if you have any other styling options for me I am all ears. Again thank you so much for all of your wonderful help and advice.
