I give you my Tips for Transitioning to Natural. This is just a list of things that have worked for me so I'm not saying this is the only way to transition. It's just what I do. As with everything hair related, always do what works best for your hair, budget, skill, etc. I hope this helps!

Step 1: Set a realistic goal

Step 2: Document everything

Step 3: Moisture is your friend!
I use Shea Moisture leave ins -- Extra Moisture Transitioning Milk, Curl & Style Milk, Thickening Growth Milk
I also use Aveeno Nourish + Dandruff Control shampoo and conditioner, Ion Keratin Smoothing shampoo and smoothing cream
Other products include Eco Styler Olive Oil Gel, Chi Silk Infusion Serum (occasionally), Organix Coconut Milk Anti-Breakage Serum, Herbal Essences Smoothing Serum,

Step 4: Deep Condition every wash
I use Shea Moisture's Deep Treatment Masque mixed with pure jojoba oil. I apply moderate heat with my Gold N Hot bonnet dryer.

Step 5: Protect your ends. 
I use Ion Keratin Heat Styling serum as my heat protectant

Step 6: Be gentle.

Step7: Patience!

Step 8: Do your research.

Step 9: Don't compare your hair to anyone else's

GOOD LUCK in your transition!
