Reverting Straight Ends
Everyone wants to know how to revert straight ends back to natural hair. Most often straight ends are caused by too much heat or leftover processed hair.
There’s only 4 ways to rid your hair of them:
1. Be patient. Slowly trim the hair back to natural
2. Wear protective styles and when you want the “curly/kinky look” - manipulate.
3. The hair will revert, but it takes about year of no heat or manipulation.
4. Big Chop. Start over.

Hey Naturalista’s!! I a new natural, I big-chopped this Wednesday (YAY ME! LOL) Anywho.. I like the post I think that its valuable information, especially for me. It took a lot of cutting to get rid of all the straight-ends but finally when they were gone my hair curled nicely!

thanks for this . right before i was about to get scissor happy after i did the big chop yesterday! and my hair still has some straight ends but i’m just gonna wait and not manipulate too much seeing as I transitioned for three months and had a perm all my life . i just will camouflage them for now.
