BLACK HAIR TRANSITION HAIR STYLES!
By
Emo hair style
Emo isn’t just a hairstyle; it is a way of life! The style was started by a group of teenager’s labeled emos, or those who loved to listen to emotional music. Emos started the style by the way they dressed. The dress was plain and the holed jeans and thick clothing was just the beginning because the style soon turned into hair. Emo hairstyles today aren’t just used or worn by fully dedicated Emos but are instead found on many individuals who just find the look stylish! The Emo hair style is mostly worn by those in their 20’s but it is found in many different age categories, and it can be worn by either gender! Here are a few facts about the Emo hair style:
* Jet black is the Emo trademark. If anything captures the Emo spirit the most it is the jet black hair that long enough to fall over the individual’s right eye. The bangs must be long enough to do this so that virtually no part of the person’s right side face is visible to anyone! * Emo styles come with choices. Just because the Emo style is trademarked with dark black hair color and over the face arrangements, an Emo can still have a few options with how they wear their hair. Among the options is whether they want it greasy or clean. Many Emos believe that greasy is the way to go because the band members of their favorite groups wear it this way; while others opts for the cleaner, more socially accepted Emo style. Whatever your choice you can be sure you’ll be within the Emo style either way! * Emo styles can be found at many stylist locations. Many professional stylists have learned the Emo style because it has been requested so much. If you’re looking to delve into the Emo hair style for the first time then it is recommended you go to a stylist who has experience with the look. A stylist can also help you decide whether highlights are right for you as well (Yes, that’s right, Emo hairstyles can come equipped with highlights!). * Thin is better for Emo style! If you’re wondering what type of hair looks best with the Emo style then thin is the winner! While you can pull the look off with thick hair, it will be much easier with thinner hair. If your hair is super thick then you may want to use a hair thinner to get your hair to the appropriate level.

Have you considered a braid in weave? Its one of my favorite stand in styles as I'm like you, no relaxing, growing it out healthily… With the braid / sew in, your hair's protected in cornrows that DON'T NEED to be too tight, then you have a myriad of hair to choose from. Remi Velvet and Remi Goddess are the best albeit expensive. Try not to do too much hot combing, that'll break it off, but if you must a few days per week or month, be sure to use Silk Elements heat protectant. Also consider double strand twists, very well moisturized like your girl Lisa Arrindell Anderson wore in Madea's Family Reunion. Lastly, maybe buy some of that Marley hair… looks like soft locks/dreads … from the beauty supply – it's affordable and easy to use and braid that in or go to the hood and get Shante to do it (smile) for 10 bucks. Looks like beautiful locks and keeps your look tight for 3 weeks. I got a million of em!! (Styles that is…)
Peace & Beauty!!!

Straw sets, roller sets, flat twists, bantu knots, and french braids might work. I was transitioning too but I got irritated after 2 weeks and I cut it all off. I think a straw set will probably be the best way to go because you hair will still be able to move but ou dont have to do anything to it. If you go to nappturality.com there is this forum all about transitioning and you can ask all of the questions you want and a lot of people will support you. You just have to become a member first but its free so it should be a piece of cake!

Black Hair Care Forum is full of resources. Everyone there has a similar hair issue and posts methods they use to acheive the results they want.
forum.blackhairmedia.com/
Many people post pictures where they track their hair growth and methods–some even have contests to get to BSL (bra strap length) and below…
If you decide to keep relaxing your hair, you would want to have a professional that does not overlap– work on your hair–and quite a few of them overlap the product. So look for someone who understands how to relax and is into healthy hair care and not about getting super straight hair. What ever you do–don't let your friends touch up your relaxer. You already have a nice length of hair–so be very picky about who you let maintain it. Get referrals from people who have their long hair maintained–there is a difference in terms of keeping your hair with a relaxer and watching it grow–compared to having whatever length is left after breakage and dealing with that.
To maintain your relaxer, you MUST condition it with both a protein and a moisturizer–do not take this lightly. The cuticle of your hair has been stripped and must be rebuilt and maintained by the addition of protein. Without this, each relaxer treatment will leave your hair weaker and weaker until it eventually breaks off–one of the reasons why you will see some black women who wear relaxers with short hair.
Protein is drying, as well as the relaxer treatement–so moisturizing conditioning is a must. Paul Mitchell makes a conditioner called 2+1 for this very purpose. Your stylist would be able to take care of this for you–and weekly moisturizing treatments are important. A good stylist will help you by providing you with products and information you can use at home, in between visits.
Additionally, You must keep your hair moisturized on a daily basis. Use natural moisturizers such as emu oil…stay away from mineral oil and petroleum based products. Qhemet Biologics and Carol's Daughter makes great moisture products–and again–on the forums you will find people talking about various products they like to use. This will reduce or eliminate breakage.
With any style, use a satin pillowcase or satin (satin or silk–not cotton) to protect your relaxed hair while you sleep. If your shoulder length hair is brushing against your collars, try to come up with a protective style that will reduce this–as friction and snagging on collars will break off your relaxed ends until you hair passes beyond that point.
Message your scalp before going to bed to bring circulation. Using a natural oil is great for this. There are many essential oil recipes that can be used for hair growth and work great as a message.
If you check out the blackhairforum, you'll find women with lots of advice.
There are several ways to "stretch" your relaxer–all of which enable you to experience hair growth without touching up frequently. Most of the women on the forum have bra strap to waist length hair achieved by these methods.
The key is to reduce the amount of handling in terms of your hair. Wash freqently, yes–but no heat, combing or anything that will stress your hair. Keep your styling options very simple. Make sure you wash to remove the chlorine from your hair since you are a swimmer–don't neglect that.
Braids are certainly a way to grow out your hair. Make sure you get someone who understands how to braid without pulling your edges and breaking off your hair while it is in transition.
You won't be able to go natural—as you know–unless you cut the relaxer off. So the transition is either stretching and then relaxing every so often based upon a schedule you come up with–or transitioning to a certain length and then removing the relaxed hair–which I'm sure you don't want to do.
Phytorelaxer is a great new relaxer that alot of people use with great success. Again, you'd want a stylist to maintain and apply the relaxer. It is supposed to be better than traditional relaxers because it contains a different form of lye. All relaxers–even no lye relaxers contain soduium hydroxide. This particular relaxer does not. Below is a link about it:
http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=50095
The longhaircareforum is another great place to look for information.
I think you can get the both of both worlds–stretching your relaxer by the use of what is called "protective hair styling," and relaxing without overlapping at certain intervals.
Hair grows 1/2 inch a month. So yes, with proper maintenance you will have BSL in a year for sure–
Below are some helpful links….

you can either cut all the relaxed hair off completely or transitioning by cutting it off slowly.
when growing out your relaxed hair you must make sure you moisturize your hair and not to comb it too much cause the part where to relaxed part and natural meet is the weakest.
every 6 to 8 weeks use a protein treatment to give your hair strength and stop breakage.
you can do it wearing braids but make sure it's not tight cause that will make your hair fall out. also while wearing braid make sure you still keep your hair moisturized and wash your hair at least once a week but while in braids try and mainly get the scalp clean cause dirt and dirty hair slows down growth.
don't use petroleum or mineral oil in you hair if a product has it in don't use it especially on your scalp it clogs your scalp and slows down growth.
other good styles to help you grow out your hair is the cun or french twist and you can always put on a silk head band to hide the two textures.
do conditoner washed which is when you wash you hair with only conditioner and this keeps in moisturise and gentally cleans you hair but use a non-moisturising shampoo once in a while to clean it properly.
try and deep condition you hair at least every two weeks and you ca do this at home with Organic Root Salon Olive Oil REPLENISHING CONDITIONER which is goos for deep conditioning.
every month cut off some of the relaxed ends until natural and you can do this for as long or short as you want it's up to you when you feel confortable enough to completely cut off all the relaxed ends.
you might get extra sheding while doing this but it's normal .

this site has on alot of people that are natural and have went natural by gradually cutting off the relaxed ends, there is a whole section on it for transitioning.
good luck

I've been there I've had ever color too…. I went from brown with red highlights to black to brown again, and than blonde and red highlights…. A couple weeks ago I just went to one color and now it's brown….. I had to dye it twice becasue the first time i dyed it brown the blonde was still coming through and some pieces looked green so I dyed it again and now it's a dark brown and I need to wait a couple weeks before I can go lighter….. It's gonna take some time and it's a process so hang in there…. Just dye it a darker brown so it covers your highlights and wait 6 weeks and than dye it lighter…..

Above everything, what I most admire about you is that you’re a real Christian. Keep being a witness girl, you got me inspired.

Just trying to help – how about combing through some fabric softener, and then rinsing, and combing at the same time with a wide-tooth comb?

I went natural back in 2003 and it has been the best. I don't see a hairstylist any more. I press and curl my own hair. I had to learn how to do my own hair and believe, it is now shoulder length strong and healthy. I clip my ends once a month and wash once a week. I use Design essentials or Kera Care products. Let me know if you would like more information.
