Q1: Naturals, do you ever regret going natural, but keep it up because of the long process of having gone natural and finally seeing totally natural hair? Do you feel like you'd be a failure for turning back?
No, I do not regret going natural. It was the best decision I've made in my adult life. Since 2005, I went back to relaxed hair twice, and both times, I got frustrated with relaxed hair and went back to natural via Big Chop even though I had no idea how to take care of my natural hair. It was just like, even though my natural hair wasn't well taken care, and I felt the need to hide it all the time, something deep down in me knew that my natural hair was just right.
Both times I relaxed, I did feel like a failure for turning back. I could not understand why I didn't know what to do with my own hair. My patience and will paid off.
