I voted indecisive. It's just hair for me..not a lifestyle. Me and my hair have a love/hate relationship (which is totally based on washing and detangling time...lol)...BUT right now I love her and just want to take the time to get to know her a little more. Plus I envision myself with thick waist length natural hair...and once I reach that goal, if it becomes unbearable...who knows,,i may throw something in their to slightly relax the thickness...There's nothing like a head of thick healthy hair..whether relaxed/tex'd/or natural.

Yes, I love my natural hair. I never really like relaxing. I didn't know I had the option to do anything else at the time. Especially since it only looked good to me when I had a fresh touch up. Then having to hide the new growth would be a pain in the butt. Natural for life!

I don't ever plan to relax again. I have a nice bald spot right by my ear. And yes I was a faithful salon groupie. So no home kit perms here.
Just not me. I do understand wanting straight styles. So I will flat iron or weave it up for a change. But, I will not put chemicals in my hair again. Point Blank.

I think I will probably stay natural for life. But my hair looked nice relaxed so I don't want to say I'll never go back. But honestly, I don't forsee why I would. I definitely don't miss getting relaxers (though I would only get one a few times a year--I was stretching before I knew what stretching was 
) and I've only straightened my hair a few times since being natural. But if I find myself craving straight hair for a while I'll just flat iron.

I voted no. I like my natural hair but honestly it's too much work for me. If I had a finer hair texture, then I would surely stay natural. After I've grown my hair to the desired length, then I will texturize it and not look back!

i posted yes even though Tuesday I needed some encouragement. As a natural I can flat iron and have straight hair and wash and have natural hair. I luv luv luv to run my fingers over my natural curls they feel so good.

Although I love being natural you will never really know. I *have* madethe decision though, that I will only relax my hair if my hair is at WSL,, cause if i'm gonna relax my hair, I don't want to be adding any fake hair to it to add length, I want it to be all mine =D

I sure am... Why in the world would I want to go back to the headache of relaxing again. After cutting off my nearly BSL hair to a 2''-3'' TWA there is no reason I would want to put myself through that shock again...

Even with all the drama of dealing with shrinkage I have accepted being natural and am okay with it.
I never say never. but I just don't see myself altering my hair texture permanently.
Maybe once in a multi colored moon getting a press, but no more chemicals.

Yes!
Especially now that I know what I am doing to care for it and styling is nice and easy. I also love that if I want to wear it straight a couple times a year, I can.

I've been natural for 3.5 years and honestly can't imagine going back to relaxing. My hair was never this healthy or this long when I was relaxed. Plus I like the look and feel of my natural hair better. Not to mention that the smell of a relaxer makes me sick to my stomach. For me, nappy is just the way to be.

Yes, most definitely. I don't know how to take care of relaxed hair.

Gloomgeisha, LOVE the quote from the Dalai Lama!
It's not really a choice for me. I don't think my hair can stand relaxers. But even if it could, I think I would still remain natural. It's just so much more easier to me...less worry too.

I voted yes! It's been 3 months and I don't think I could go back ever!

I used to think I would be a lifer. I'm not so sure anymore. I keep seeing all these gorgeous texlaxed and relaxed heads. I love my natural hair but, sometimes I want to texlax and have the best of both worlds. I'm so confused. :skitzo:
