Ah. i love your hair. I chose to natural ALL THE WAY BABY. im so tired of relaxers breaking off my hair. i love my hair, & i decided one gotta go color or relaxer. & i use semi's so the relaxer has to go. I'm gonna just grow it out. & do the BIG CHOP next August. Wish me luck ladies.

im 15 & making a big decision, i think its worth it(:

What is wrong w/ a woman wearing her hair natural! Every other race wears their hair natural, so y when a black woman does, it's a problem! Is it because our hair is so pretty and big! When our hair is natural we can do so many things w/ it. N when i say that, we can straighten it w/o a relaxer! Relaxers don't make our hair look pretty it just makes it look 2 were we blend n w/ everyone else so then everyone else will approve!!! I'd rather not have everyone's approval n have God's approval!

I get what you're saying about the benefits of being natural. I'm natural too, but I don't think God disapproves of perms...LOL.

@chickitie34 No one really needs a relaxer. You just gotta learn how to manage what God's given u! :-)

I think your hair looks beautiful natural! I'm a white woman and growing up, I always felt bad for my black girl friends. I used to wonder why they'd choose to ruin their hair with perms and relaxers instead of going natural. They always felt like they had to live up to the media's standard of beauty. Which is unrealistic no matter what nationality you are! That's why I'm so happy and proud that nowadays natural hair is excepted as beautiful!

I love your hair so much now! I'm 19 and ive been straightening my hair for over 5 years, im so sick of it! its so expensive too, so i started by shaving everything off but my bangs and now im gonna go and get them dreaded. You look so beautiful! congrats on showing off what you were born with:)
