The 6 months of hair transition are a turning point in the process of returning to natural curls. It is from this period that you begin to be more intimate with the real texture of your natural hair and begin to understand its characteristics without the influence of chemistry. With 6 months of capillary transition, the hair root is already longer, which makes it possible to make some decisions about cutting and big chop.

Thinking about all of this, we've separated 5 tips for things you can and should do when hitting the six months of hair transition, from treatment to cutting and finishing. Check out!

1. The 6 months of the capillary schedule are ideal for changing products

Many women in capillary transition bet on the schedule to assist in the process of returning to natural curls and recovering the health of the strands after years using chemistry. If that's your case, the 6 months of transition are the ideal time to change the products used, as the threads will be less fragile and with new needs.

Also, your natural roots will be bigger, so it's a good time to start including specific products for curly hair in your routine. In general, curly and kinky hair is more prone to frizz and dry ends. Therefore, nutritious masks, rich in vegetable oils and butters such as linseed oil and shea butter are good bets. Make these choices by observing the natural texture of your hair and what its main features are.

2. Change the order of your hair schedule when you reach the 6 month transition

Changing hair needs and texture after the first 6 months of hair transition may also call for a change in the order of your schedule. For example, if you do one reconstruction per week - since the wires were still weakened by the chemical - you can now reduce the frequency of this treatment to once every 15 days or even once a month. Everything will depend on the state of health of your locks, diva.

The same goes for hydration and nutrition: if you feel that your strands are in need of water more than oils (or vice versa), rearrange the order of your capillary schedule and prioritize what your strands need most at the time.

3. Take advantage of natural root growth to test new hair finishes

With the root grown and its natural texture very apparent, the 6 months of hair transition are perfect to start testing new finishes and even hairstyles, diva. In addition to the tape, it is worth experimenting with texturing techniques such as twists, the little coconuts known as bantu knots, and plopping.

Also take advantage of this moment to include a styling cream for curly and frizzy hair in your routine and other specific products for definition and volume, such as a definition pudding or a volumão gelatine.

4. At 6 months of transition you can start to remove the straight ends of the hair

Want to start getting rid of your hair textures? The 6 months of hair transition are a great time to start cutting the ends of the hair and remove the straightened part. This process of gradually cutting the straightened ends is ideal for women who still don't feel ready to do the big chop and bet on a short haircut right away.

5. The 6 months of hair transition are a good opportunity to do the big chop

One of the main questions for curly and curly hair in transition is when to do the big chop. Although there is no specific date, the 6 months of hair transition are considered one of the best times to make the big cut and remove all the straightened part of the hair at once. The reason for this is that it is precisely during this period that you have a better understanding of your natural hair and already know how to deal with it, both when treating and finishing. So you won't have many surprises after the cut and you'll know exactly what to do to enjoy the new look.
