The Transition Period
Transitioning from relaxed to natural hair is simply the process by which a person goes from a chemically altered or a relaxed hair texture, often straight, to the hair texture that they were born with, often called kinky in reference to hair that is not. The experience can be a scary one, especially if you are not familiar with your hair’s natural texture. To transition is just what it sounds like, to change. Not only will you change your hair, but your attitude regarding it and you as well.

Rock Your Crown. Top Story - June 2019.
African American women have always taken pride in their crown, which is our hair. According to the website Hype Hair, which promotes the latest hair trends for women of color, states that black women "spend nearly nine times more than our non-Black counterparts on ethnic hair and beauty products. Add in $473 million in total hair care, $127 million grooming aids and $465 million in skin care preparations, and we spend a whopping $1.1 billion on beauty annually." Other beauty brands are taking notice and are creating products specifically for women of color. The hot comb created by Annie Malone and later improved my Madame CJ Walker, African America's first self-made millionaire, is a staple in women of color's homes for centuries and decades. The hot comb is equivalent to a man's shave kit. It's one of the many stages that reflect womanhood. It's a comb that lays flat on top of the stove, and it heats up and combs through your hair to straighten. It was the go-to product before the flatiron existed.

Make Up for Men: a Beginner's Guide for Male Beauty
Before I begin on tips and tricks, I'm gonna have to do some debunking. From your favorite actors, k pop stars, rappers to even athletes, they all wear make up to interviews, red carpet events, photo shoots, TV appearances, award ceremonies, music videos, in commercials, attending parties, going to the club, performing in concert, getting married, in movies and on TV shows. Many famous men have a groomer. A Groomer is a specialized and licensed hairstylist tasked with making male celebrities (and civilians too) look their most handsome. It typically entails some combination of skin care, hair care, and makeup. Do you really think that a rapper looks like he got 12 hours of sleep after he was really partying all night long, took a red eye flight, and got to his hotel room four hours before he's gonna be on TV? Historically men have been wearing make up for THOUSANDS of years. Ancient Egyptians wore kohl eyeliner and believed wearing makeup gave them protection from the gods Horus and Ra. Historians discovered that it was to prevent eye infections, and protect their eyes from the sun. And if you think about it, the first make up was war paint worn by men. More and more companies are making make up for men, and including men in their campaigns. A lot of the brands that make make up for men are smaller brands that are either located in the USA, or brands based in the UK, Korea, China, and Japan. The products are formulated for men. Men have thicker skin (what I mean by that is the skin is actually thicker, not the whole "he's got a thick skin, he won't let it get to him" thing) so companies have to formulate products a bit differently so they're effective. But it might be more expensive. You can get the same results with products formulated for women. You are a man. Don't let ANYBODY tell you that you aren't if you decide to wear it. A man is defined by his character. A lot of stores like Sephora and Ulta have Men staffed there to help you out. DON'T be embarrassed if you need help. Ask an employee to help you out. If your girlfriend/sister/mom/aunt/cousin/friend/grandma tells you "I'll be back! I'm going to Sephora/Ulta/CVS/Walmart/Walgreens/Target/Rite Aid!" Ask to tag along, and start an open dialogue about it. That person might be able to give you their own tips and tricks. This is just one of articles about men wearing makeup. If you want to go more in depth, look on YouTube. It helps to see what the person is doing, rather than just reading it.
