1.Don’t use heat, any chemicals(color etc) Either you transition or big chop 2. Deep conditioning at least once a week to strengthen 3. Cowash more and shampoo less 4. Styling your curls Section your hair 6ish sections to get product through out Make sure you use enough water Finger coil! Train your curls 5. Wet plop and diffuse Blend stringy pieces and give volume Stay away from silicones and sulfates until your hair gets stronger 6. Preserve your curls Sleep on satin pillow case Put your hair in a ponytail or bun and put on bonnet

When I'm home I'm wearing a bonnet the entire day 😂😂 with my glasses my boyfriend says I look like a grandma 😂😂

“I go to sleep looking like a whole lunch lady” lol!!! Thank you for doing this video Franchelli!! SO helpful!!

Me never sectioning my hair and wonder why i keep having loads of frizz 😐

Yassssss!!!! Just the video I was waiting on 🥰 you touched on all the concerns I had from the reducing frizz to preserving my curls a couple days 🥰 thank you 😘

That is SOOO true bout comparisons. Everyone's hair is different and you have to find out what works for you. Stopped relaxing my hair 2 years ago and this year cut out the remainder of the relaxer in my hair. And I'm definitely loving my hair more. oh how I wish people like you and Bianca Renee had been around 20 years ago.

Wet plopping is my new GoTo!! Thank you ❤️ you’re always an inspiration 💕

I love that Curlsmith co wash always reaching for it. The more I use it the more it grows on me . It gets buildup off so good without drying it out and it smells so good

So nice of you to share those tips with us beginners😍 you should do other video like this... So informative and helpful... You are my inspiration😘

this is so helpful! I've always has curl hair but never had any idea on how take care of it. this video is such a game changer!!!!

I've just dyed my hair lol. I was going grey at the roots and because of this I wasn't wearing my hair out I was still taking care of it though. I was doing the wetting my hair and applying product to small sections and my hair came out beautifully. And it's all thanks to you!. Thank you sweetheart, you've helped me a lot. Your never too old to learn lol. Thanks for sharing your tips 😊❤🖐🏻

I wish I had this video to watch back when I first started my transition! So informational quick and easy! Thank you for making this, I know new transitioners appreciate it ❣

You have been the first curl youtuber I really like and your so easy to understand. ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks so much for all those tips. I really needed this.🤗

Great video!! Thank you for the tips. It's been a year since I've straighten my hair. I have good hair days and bad ones so this was helpful.

I loveeeeee this message about not comparing hair 🖤🩷🤍

Thank u so much for such a helpful and well done video!! Need more❤️❤️😍

Watching today and reflecting on 2020, working from home and feeling goofy when I hold a meeting. People can even interact, but it feels like I’m lecturing. Your natural conversational style is amazing and feels like we are talking over coffee. Keep representing!

I asked for this, yess! Just purchased about 6 items to get started! Thanks for sharing, going to watch the video now! 💕

Love love love all your videos! I have been learning so much. Do you have a video solely on co-washing? If not I would love to see that in the near future since it makes a big difference for you.

I love cowash my hair twice a week , honesty natural hair feels comfort & soft & wild curls looks ❤️

Heyy love. 💜🙋🏾‍♀️ Here for the Tips while embracing my Natural hair. ✔👍🏾📝❤

I had the big chop today! Thank you for this video, very helpful.

Me encantan tus tips, me ayudan mucho ya que estoy en transición, saludos desde República Dominicana 🇩🇴❤️❤️

Hello Franchelli! Your videos are awesome and have helped me figure out this transitioning process a little better. I am a year and four months in and I’ve seen progress but my hair is soooo dry🥺 I did the “big chop” back in March and the shrinkage is REaL! Anyway! Love love your videos.🥰

Soo today was wash day for me and I followed your tips. Let me just say I LOVE how juicy and defined my curls look. Now to attempt and preserve will be another mission lol thanks for sharing

So needed this video. I transitioned three months ago but my curls haven't been looking good. I'm going to try tip #5 &6 wet plop & finger coiling each section. Thank you so much, for your tips!

Thank you so much my curls were popping when I left it alone and the moment I started messing with it I saw the change. Through this video I realized what I have been doing wrong. I am also Dominican and my curls look like your back in the day. I hate sectioning my hair to put product I'm kind of lazy but hey I might be able to be consistent and do this not only for me but for my daughter Thank you for sharing!!

I love all the info 😁 I’m just learning that it’s best to style while the hair is wet. I do deep condition once a week my husband surprised me and bought me a hot head I was excited to try it lol.

Great info. I need to learn so much about managing curly hair.

Luv that u are doing this.. It's so hard to gather info from all these sources and videos etc 😊

Omg your hair is goals 😍❤️

Love your videos! Eres la Mejor! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much that was very clear and straight to the point

Wow! Three great videos/vlogs in three days!!! Lucky us!!!!😁

Totally loved this video♡

❤️ thank you for the tips!! Love your channel I’m subscribing

I did the big chop and dying for my curls to come back to try your tips TY!

You're one of my all time fave KZfaqrs! Big love from Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific islands 😘 one question girl, what is wet plopping? 😅

I love your curls !!!! I need to learn

When she said big chop I thought she said bitch out LMAO 😂😂 college life really be making me hear things

Thank you so much for sharing this!!! ❤❤❤

Where was this video a year ago when I first started! I love this tho. Thank you for doing a video like this! Also the Denman brush is a god send for training your curls!

Great summary. All in one take. Thanks

Just subscribed to your channel I’m pretty happy with my curls. I transitioned 5 years ago with a mini chop. I did not use heat… I would wear wigs and sew ins in I want straight look. Now my hair is long enough that I feel confident to wear curly every day In the last 3 weeks. (Stopped wearing the wigs. Lol) I wanted to say thank you for reminding me that I need to deep condition even though my hair is in GREAT condition I need to continue to moisturize so it doesn’t change on me.

Truth!!! Wooohooo, yaaaay!!! ➰➰➰➰I have a deep-conditioning tip for anyone who needs moisture more often than strengthening, &/or for anyone who needs to limit the amount of protein, aloe, or coconut (which most deep conditioners contain one or more of): you can take a fave leave-in and add, as Chelli mentioned, oils -- I add penetrating oils (olive, almond), nourishing (avocado, apricot), and sealing (castor, jojoba, & shea or cocoa butters). I'm med-high porosity (3b), but you can adjust what you add per your needs. So don't feel like you have to buy deep conditioners that use ingredients that your hair doesn't like (I learned that the hard way, hello protein overload!) My fave leave-ins rn (in order): Camille Rose Lavender Whipped Cream (my HG!), Curl Junkie Beauticurls, Soultanicals Frizz Whizz, Kinky Curly Knot Today, & Camille Rose Fresh Curl. These are all formulated with penetrating & sealing ingredients & make a good base for DIY deep conditioner. Which leads to another tip -- check out the back of bottles! The more you learn, over time, about ingredients, what your hair likes, what has hold, what types of shine/volume/hold/definition, etc., there are, and also that products change their formulas sometimes, the less trial & error, setbacks, wasted products/coin! Loved this video, love Mask Monday, love u girlie!!! xoxoxo 💖🌟💖🌟💖

Great advice! Your hair is gorgeous (so are you).

I love your curly hair videos!!!!!

I totally relate to the finger coiling! I just got a spontaneous big chop a little over 2 months ago. While I am happy with the layers and bangs I got, the hair stylist used thinning shears. So now I seem to have thin stringy pieces all over and I have to finger coil. Plus, my hair just wasn't in the best condition to begin with from years of improper care. So now I always finger coil. The first time I did it I was amazed. My whole life I had no idea that all I had to do was finger coil each section for less than a minute and the hair would keep the shape for days! In regards to the cowashing... I find that gel builds up in my hair easily (using SheaMoisture's coconut based gel) so I am having challenges with that.

Girl u gave us curly heads the real tea wit this video 🍵 thanks for the tips! P.s. I thought u were Colombian😭 I was thinking U might be Dominican and then right there at the moment u confirmed it lol , I’m Dominican too🇩🇴

if you don't like shampooing then I recommend a moisturizing shampoo. Shampoo removes build-up, research says that build up can lead one moisture overload, product up in your hair follicles and hair loss. Yes, you can co-wash but not shampooing can actually just cause your hair to feel dry since you are literally having layers of products sitting on your hair for week or days. With that being said, you might think your hair is dry but sometimes it's literally from the build up. I co-wash here and there but only like once a month. Research moisture overload and protein fatigue! Moisturizing shampoo will not strip your hair, it will cleanse your hair while leaving your hair soft. Some are: Bounce curls Clarifying shampoo or Moisturizing shampoo, Soultanicals Butta Shampoo, Novex Mystic Black Shampoo. P.S I love chelli, you go girl!

Nice video thanks for the advices please show more products for transitions

Love your videos and i learnt soo much. Thanx

Okay but girll when you paused to cut your hair😂 that was a whole mood lol I do the same thing😂 Absolutely love this video! Really great tips for curly girls transitioning!😁❤️💕

This is so helpful, thank you!! Lots of great tips. I love how you went through all of the steps in detail. I really need help with days two, three etc. I will try the bonnet at night. I bought one but I haven’t worn it. My husband says that I “look like I’m the school lunch lady ready to fry fish” 😂 . So I don’t wear it, it’s not very sexy. However, it’s hard work getting it to look good to not take care of it at night. He’ll have to deal with the lunch lady LOL

I only straighten my hair at most 3 times a year, and I’m starting to do it less. But my hair is SO dead and super thin and my curl pattern is not how it was, it’s just getting worse and worse. I have been trying so hard to get it to its best, but it never works. I have been trying since two years ago. And I even use everything that is recommended, like bones and silk pillow cases.

I needed this thank you sm

Thanks for the tips! I will start cowashing!!

Great tips. Thank you 🙏🏽

Her: you may be in your early 20s or maybe your in your 50s *me not even in my teens yet*

Thank you so much! I am from DR too and I remember needing to do two and sometimes 3 washes. My mom would say "con una lavada do hace espuma." I get the frizz at the crown of my hair too. I have been transitioning for about a year. But I still have some issues.

I'm 1/2 Dominican and I grew up doing the double shampooing once a week. It took me a loooooong time to break out of that habit once I started going natural. The struggle was real lol

Omg me encanta tus videos y gracias por todos tus tip e aprendido mucho sobre mi cabello para volver a tener mis rizos el proceso es duro pero lo voy a logra

coming back to this since i’ve been straightening my hair lately and i have a few straight strands when i try to style my hair, i love my curls and ever since i cut my hair really short, it has been a bit harder to mantain bc i’m a sucker for definition. thank you for this! 🪴

Thanks for the amazing video 👌👌👌👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗 I would love to see a video how you co-wash your hair

Love your hair ❤and glasses 💕💕🤓

The fact that the owner of one of my fav videos regarding the topic is a Dominican... I love it here 😂

Thank you! I had never seen someone talk about two pineapples under the bonnet. Doing it after tomorrow's wash day.

Your transitioning journey sounds so much like mine I'm 3 weeks into my healthy hair journey. Thanx for all the tips

love this!

You are awesome. Thank you for sharing!

I transitioned my hair. My hair was jacked up for 2 years, so I had to make myself look profession anyway. I definitely used heat, BUT not the way anyone has shared on KZfaq. I did a hot brush and low heat (250 to 265F) to help merge the line of demarcation and prevent breakage. So, not a silk press. Not heated under a lot of tension. And not looking like I don’t care. But, just an everyday look. I think using some heat styling is reasonable.

First comment bc I NEEDED THIS

Excellent video, thank you.

Thanks for this! Where did you get your glasses? Love them want them. Thanks mama's!

Love your hair! Do you watch for silicones, or any specific ingredient? Thanks!

You are the absolute best ma fren .... I am very very short, not really transitioning but have a lot of frizz, trying to get to the stage where I can actually get to wet plop ... a short bob .... pray for me .... but these tips are very very very helpful

But what happens if you have grays and want to cover them? What can I use that’s less harsh on my hair to cover them?

I love your video! It really spoke to me and my situation! I’m currently transitioning and am lost. I do have a question however. You said the first rule is to avoid heat but then with the deep conditioning you say sit under heat for about 20 mins. I’m what CGM called 2b/2c hair.

Awesome tips !!!

I'm starting my hair journey at age 14!! Yes it's young but the years are flying by and I need my hair to look good by my twenties 😅 go curlies we can do it!!

I love how you mentioned that God created us carefully. That was a true blessing. Thank you

Great video My curls are a LOT tighter and I did the big chop so my hair is shorter (4 1/2 inches in back when stretched bu looks about 2 inches with curl). How do I preserve my curls for day 2-5?? When I wake up and take off my bonnet my hair is packed down.

Paisana, you are the best PERIOT... Can you pleaaaaase tell me about your glasses? I went to your Amazon Favs but I couldn't found them, they're not the same, please :)

Hey Chelli! Loved the video...can't wait to show this to my mum. She's gotten so lazy with her hair lately so maybe she'll listen to you more than she'll listen to me 😂 But I also have a question, if you don't mind. I've been natural all my life but I never really rocked my curls (3b/3c) and took care of them up until two years ago but I've started to notice recently that some of the areas where I have 3c curls, are changing into 3b...is this normal or should I be worried?

Awesome video!🥰

First of all, love the glasses! I started transitioning almost 3 years ago when I noticed my son had my curls!!! But... I have to dye my hair, I'm just not ready for the grays yet... I did wait till this year to dye though

Love your channel, Franchelli! What water temperature would you recommend for washing & styling?! Thank you!
