I am not a natural, but I can say that I've become more accepting of my new growth when it comes in. I don't rush to get a relaxer when my new hair grows in because I'm more accepting now than ever before. I'm glad that you have more confidence!

Well with all positives there are also negatives.

My positives would be, managing hair has become so easy, my hair has exceeded the length it ever was when relaxed and I can do more hairstyles without heat.

The negatives would be styling time is longer, people keep asking what am I going to do with my hair and another bunch think it is just a statement.

Natural hair did not give me any added confidence. Lord knows I am so uninhibited already. But it certainly has proved to be the hair that I want and the hair I can take care of, which at the end of the day is what everyone needs to find the hair they want and the hair they can take care of treated or untreated.

Going natural didn't give me confidence either. I've had it, and people didn't make me feel bad about my hair. I figured it feels better, and it's more moist when I'm natural. I also think my curls are cute. And the best part is now since I've gotten my routine down, being natural is cheap (Suave Shampoo, Conditioner, Deep conditioner, WGO, shine item, and setting creme for rollersets).

I have learned to accept the hair texture I have.

It's awsome to be FREE from the bondage of relaxers and perms.

(no offense to those who still perm and relax their hair).

...forgot how to use a curling iron.

 

[Maestradiva77]

Curling iron? What's that?! LOL!!!

I have become more confident...whci is trouble because I was over-confident anyway. But now I feel like I me and not trying to fit into some else's definition of how I should be and look.

Relawing was a choice my mother made for me when I was young like 7.

So I choosing to give it up, if I go back which I doubt, it'll me my choice.

I just want healthy hair, and lenght ( not waist long) but nice shoulder, bra strap hair in the far future ( 2-3 years from now is feasible.)

Still transitioning towards natural...but I am loving my hair...becoming really good at taking care of it...enjoying experimenting with conditioners to see what works...and certainly feeling more confident in my own beauty.

I won't say that it's give me more confidence, but I don't worry about my hair going back in the rain. Honestly, I don't remember that happening when I had it permed either. Most of the girls I know on campus have permed hair and I am so tempted to do it again, but I've worked really hard to figure out how to take care of my natural hair and I don't want it to go down the drain.

Well I've always been natural-(never been relaxed), so its not much of a big deal to me, I've felt never felt negative towards my hair to extent of desperately seeking the use of a relaxer,
(although I'm contradicting myself

because I was thinking of texturizing). In the past I used to wear a lot of false hair because I hated having to deal with my natural because of the combing, tangles etc. I enjoy my natural hair more now since I decided to take care of it

 

[Peachtree]

I'm still transitioning, so I'm gonna tweak the title to...

"SINCE I DECIDED TO GO NATURAL....."

I feel like a kid in a candy store!!!

I'm really excited about my hair! I'm learning so much about it's texture, styling options, problem areas, moisture needs, etc.

I've never, ever been this excited

about my hair before! I'm having a blast with it

I have to admit... I'm turning into a monster....I'm a tid bit farrrr too much into "ME" right now

! .... but in a good sweet way still
