I've heard this so many times now and I always say the same thing: "Natural looks good on everyone that's why it's called natural =)." Something that would be there naturally has got to look right on you lol. That's like if I was to say that "I don't think my fingernails look right on me" lol. Now I'm not a "go natural" pusher but when I hear this statement it makes me think you're already on the edge of the decision so I might as well share some information. At this point, I think all you have to do is do some research on the dangers of relaxing (I had many encounters with chemical burns) and maybe browse a few natural hair blogs or forums. The inspiration and drive would surely set in. For me it didn't end up being about looking right to others, but looking right to myself. And I must admit that I feel like this was how I was meant to be.
If you sit down and really do the research, I've found most end up either transitioning or big chopping before they know it. Plus, deciding to go natural doesn't always have to be some jump off a cliff experience. I've known a few people who have gone back and forth on their decision but just kept a relaxer off of their hair long enough to truely decide. That way you'll have months of growth if you decide to get rid of the relaxed ends or you'll have months of growth that you'll end up relaxing. No biggy. Natural or relaxed, we're all beautiful =].
But here's some inspiration nonetheless:
Gotta love that barbie! Lol.

Boy oh boy did i make it a big to do!!! Im glad i was strong and curious enough to try it. The point of just growing my hair long enough to either bc or relax and have the long hair of my dreams was enough for me to stick it out. It has changed my life! Fo’real though lol
ReplyDeletelol. It has changed my life too! I'm back at the same length I was before I ever decided to go natural and I feel like it's happened so fast! I definitely made a great decision.
