For all of you that don't know what that means here's a simple explanation. Most black women get a "relaxer" which is a chemical that permanently straightens our hair. To go natural is to not chemically straighten your hair and just let it grow, and usually it grows "nappy" or curly.
So I'm sure your big question is "Ok? so why is this a big deal?" Excellent question. The deal with going natural is if you didn't do this from birth and go the relaxed route then decide to go natural, like myself, you have to get rid of the "relaxed" hair and start over. So that's right you have to cut it all off. Now there are several other options, braids (which I did for most of the summer), twists, weave, and other things to smoothen the transition so you don't have to rock a mini for for a while.
Well I made the decision to do the "big cut" today.
I feel so......happy, liberated, free.
I don't know what it is but just getting that hair off my head was like a big weight lifted off my shoulder.
I will be getting weave done in the next 5 days just for convenience until my fro grows out a bit more. But stay tuned. I"ll try to post pics here and on my facebook www.facebook.com/musicallytina every few months of my new lifestyle, that natural beauty :)
