? for the NATURALS

[DarkVictory]

This go 'round, since 1990. I had a big 'fro back in the '70's.

 

[DeepBluSea]

I'm a newbie to being natural. 2 months!

 

[Kookie]

Not sure what date you're supposed to use for calling yourself "natural" but...
I stopped relaxing in Sept 2005...but cut ALL remaining relaxed hairs off in Oct 2006! (I slowly cut my relaxed parts off without doing a "real BC")

So I dunno how many "official" years I've been natural. I mean new growth has been growing in without relaxing since Sept 2005.
So I tell people about 2 years.

Thanks So what's it like being natural for 18 years? I would assume that's most of your life right?

I love being natural. I pretty much keep them in cornrows, bun style.Whenever I think about changing it everyone says "NO that style fits you to a T", but I do love IT!!!!
Of course that's pretty much most of my life, I'm only 16.

Since joining this board I have found that there are quite a few ladies that wear their hair in the natural state. My question is how long have you been natural? I'm natural and I have been natural for 18 YEARS!!!
