When to do the Big Chop?
After years of straightening, it is impossible for your hair to return to its natural state due to the excess of chemicals. Who decides to go into hair transition, the ideal is to wait a little while for the strands to start growing and then you do the Big Chop.
Our hair grows, on average, 1 to 1,5 cm per month. So that your strands do not become extremely short, the ideal is that you wait 4 to 6 months before cutting them. In the meantime, invest in texturing techniques to make curls and use bands, scarves and turbans to create stylish hairstyles in order to disguise the grown roots.

Some women take a risk and end up doing the Big Chop at home. However, it is best to look for a hairdresser you trust, preferably a professional specializing in curly and frizzy hair. He will know which techniques will favor his type of hair and curls.
Talk to friends who went through the hair transition
Before doing the Big Chop, chat with friends who have been through the same situation. Ask for tips and opinions so that the hair transition is an easier period to deal with, especially when texturing the curls.
They will definitely help you with words of support and encourage you even more to do the Big Chop. The internet will also be your great ally, where you can find many before and after photos of girls who have had the haircut.
Avoid using heat tools!
During the hair transition, avoid using tools such as flat iron and babyliss. The high temperature dries out the strands and this period is very important for your hair to grow healthy to help define the curls.
Make texturing techniques, such as bigudins, toilet paper or coconuts, which are super efficient methods to make curls and do not harm the health of the threads.
