These are some of the tips they gave:
Protective styles are helpful
The Glam Twinz state that protective styles made their kinky hair journey a bit easier. The styles help to keep your hair tucked in and protected. Protective styles include braids, weaves, crochet braids and so on.
Patience my beloved
According to the Glam Twinz, transitioning is never easy and requires lots of patience. Be patient with your hair as there will be frizz, frustration and probably tears. But once the awkward phase is over, its “hello gorgeous”.
Low or no heat
Too much heat will cause damage to your natural hair – make it light and prone to breakage. Hair tends to grow faster and retain more length when less heat is used.
