I definitely understand what my hair needs much better than I did 1.5 years ago when I started my HHJ...heck even better than I did just a few months ago. But I voted "not quite yet" because I'm still not 100% natural. I have some texlaxed/relaxed ends I'm cutting off on December 31st. Granted I've been abusing these ends because I had always planned to cut them off, however, I'm not quite comfortable with my hair yet because with my natural hair being so thick and my ends being much thinner my hair just doesn't look the way I want it to when I do WNGs, twists outs and braid outs. Also, I'm still working on getting multiple days out of these styles. I am lucky if I can get two days out of it so it ends up being a lot of manipulation to do these styles just about daily. And I don't know any good up-dos, I'm really style-challenged. I won't be 100% comfortable with it when I trim my hair at first because I have never had hair shorter than APL so I'm nervous about the shorter length.
