Ashley Williams’
Transition Style Using Simply Straight Hair Care Products by Tracia J

How and why did I decide to transition from a relaxer to natural? That’s a really good question
because I’ve always secured my confidence with my hair. Then there was trimming and then there
was snipping out the perm. I started to realize how thin my hair was after a relaxer, so I opted to

try a relaxer every six months. My natural curl pattern was weighing in heavily, so I made up in my
mind that I would pick a side and it has been this way every since. I’m going to share my styling
tips for transitioning my relaxed hair to natural, straight tresses.
1 st I wash my hair using Simply Straight Tingle Shampoo which cause my scalp to tingle all

over as it gently cleanses and moisturizes my hair…feels so good! It aides in hydration and
detangles my kinks. I lather and rinse twice. After washing my hair, I use a towel to pat it dry,
leaving just enough moisture for styling.

2 nd I part my hair into four big squares and use the Daily Hydrator on my hair, moisturizing

each section. This product also detangles while helping maintain my hair’s natural oils and
moisture balance. It is weightless and always leave a smooth texture while adding sheen. The last
thing I need is for my tresses to look dry. I need my hair to be “poppin.” After combing through
each section to ensure I’m tangle free, now, I’m ready for the next phase.
3 rd I grab the Extreme Shine Glossifer to silken and straighten my hair. I spray it all over or

spray it into my hands for a lighter application, then massage it into hair and my scalp. I flat iron
my hair to straighten all over, then pass back through to curl. I curl each section with Styling
Spritz for long lasting curls.

4 th I use the Styling Spritz for a finishing hold. At bed time, I wrap my hair, tightly, to keep my

roots flatten and straight. As my hair grew, I cut my permed hair off and became fully natural.
By using this method, over time, my hair remained straight and diminished the need to relax
my hair. I would recommend this method to all those who are struggling to go from relaxer to
natural while still desiring to wear straight hair styles. It is a daily feat to keep my roots from
puffing up during showers, so I leave the shower door open to keep out the steam. Simply
Straight by Tracia J is the success of my journey, I recommend it and give it five stars.
