2. Be sure to trim your split ends as they restrain the growth of your hair.

3. Tuck the longest layer of your hair behind your ears for a short bob effect.

5. Drink lots of water and take your vitamins.

6. Use hair products that promote hair growth and keep your hair moisturized.

7. When transitioning gets stressful, be adventurous and try braids in any style you fancy.

8. Experiment with your curling iron when you aren’t sure what to do with your hair anymore.

9. Ignore discouraging comments about your hair. The end result is going to be worth it.
