ExploreHair transition is not all the same. The wavy hair transition is different from the curly hair transition in many ways. Due to the differences between the 2ABC and 3ABC curls, the perception of the speed of hair growth, the definition and even the tricks to deal with the two textures change. This means that, if you are thinking about starting this process of returning to natural hair, you will need to know well the characteristics of each curvature in order to know how to take care of the strands before and after the big chop.
To help you with this task, we explain the differences between the hair transition of wavy and curly hair. Check out!
What is the difference between curly and wavy hair?
Although wavy hair is considered a curly hair type, there are several differences between type 2 hair and type 3 locks. The first and main one is the shape of the strands. Wavy hair is characterized by its S-shape, while curly hair has a spiral shape, similar to that of a telephone wire. Because of this, curly hair defines more easily, whereas wavy hair - especially curves 2A and 2B, which form more open waves - has more difficulty defining.
And similarities between the curvatures, is there any? Yes, diva! Both wavy and curly locks tend to be drier on the lengths and ends, as the curvature makes it difficult for the oils produced in the scalp to pass through the entire length of the hair. With this, it is normal for both wavy and curly hair divas to have to deal with frizz and volume.

How to make hair transition in wavy hair? Tips and process differences in type 2 wires
Straightened your hair for many years and now you want to know how to make your hair wavy again? In general, the beginning of the capillary transition for 2ABC curl strands is the same as for other curls: the first step is to stop using chemicals on the hair and stop using heat tools that smooth the strands, such as flat irons and curling irons.
However, curls have some benefits during the process. As the difference between natural wavy hair and straight hair is smaller, the curly hair transition tends to be simpler and easier to deal with both textures before the big chop. This also reduces the need to use a flat iron or curling iron to style your locks on a daily basis, which helps to preserve the health of the natural hair that is growing.
During the capillary transition from wavy hair, it is essential to set up a capillary schedule with hydration, nutrition and reconstruction, as the strands can become sensitized. Products that encourage healthy hair growth are also welcome, especially if you want to make your transition faster.

How long does the hair transition for wavy hair last? Big chop date determines the end of the process
The capillary transition lasts until the big chop is performed. That is, until you cut the entire smooth part and keep only the natural part, you will continue in transition. If you want to speed up the transition, you can cut the locks in the first few months of the process and bet on short cuts for stylish and modern wavy hair. If you don't want to keep your hair short, it's worth betting on treatments to stimulate the growth of highlights - but remembering that the normal growth rate is 1 to 1,5 cm per month, ok, diva?
Is there a difference in hair transition time for wavy and curly hair? No, diva! In general, all hair types grow 1 to 1,5 cm per month, regardless of the curvature. And, in both cases, the transition only ends when the big cut is made. The only difference is that wavy hair shrinks less than curly hair, so wavy divas can notice hair growth more easily.

How to finish wavy hair in transition? Texturing tips for defining 2ABC strands
During the hair transition from wavy hair, texturing will be your best friend. This technique helps to create waves and curls in the strands in a natural way, which is perfect for those who are eliminating the use of chemicals, flat irons and babyliss and need to hide the two textures. As wavy hair is more difficult to define, texturing can also be used after the end of the transition.
These are the best texturing techniques for wavy hair in transition:
- Fitting: It is one of the texturing techniques most used by divas who have curled hair in which the strands are divided as if they were ribbons during the application of the styling cream. Afterwards, just squeeze them from bottom to top and dry with a diffuser or let it dry naturally. All you'll need is a styling cream, a wide-toothed comb and a hairdryer with a diffuser nozzle. It is worth betting on formulas that are rich in oil and offer definition, such as the Definition Pudding from the Cachos do Seu Jeito line.
- Plopping: great technique to give definition to wavy hair in hair transition, plopping consists of drying the hair wrapped in a towel or cotton t-shirt. As with the tape, you'll need a combing cream and a comb to untangle the locks during application. Afterwards, just place the towel or t-shirt on a surface, rest your hair on the fabric and close it like a turban. Let it dry naturally or use a hairdryer to speed up the process.
