Healthy Head of Hair (Triple H)
Transitioning from chemically treated hair to natural hair can be challenging, but not everyone needs to undergo the "Big Chop" for an instant change. Choosing to trim your hair as it grows can provide a smoother transition, and many find "Combo Styles" to be a low-maintenance and lasting option.
On the other hand, your hair's health, referred to as the "Triple H," is deeply connected to your overall well-being and is nourished by the nutrients from the food you consume. Blood flow is crucial for hair and scalp health as it carries these nutrients. At Pre'Vail, they support your transition journey, whether you decide on the "Big Chop" or gradual trimming.
Understanding the transition process is key, and during the early stages, styling can be challenging. "Combo Styles" offer a versatile solution for managing your evolving hair, whether you're in the midst of transition or fully embracing the beauty of natural hair.
