My hair has been relaxed for a very long time (since I was about 11 or 12) so I'm used to having straight hair. Before I found lhcf and became educated in healthy hair care, I was relaxing every 4-5 weeks so I never really gave myself the opportunity to feel my natural texture. Now I go about 8-9 weeks (the longest I can stretch w/out breakage) and I am fascinated with my natural hair texture (4b)
. When I feel my ng and feel curls, I still can't believe it. My hair was dry before I started to care for it properly that my ng just felt like steel wool
. All these years I thought I just had "bad hair" that NEEDED relaxing. Now I don't know. I'm about 5 weeks post now and haven't used heat in almost 2 months (huge accomplishment for me) and I'm feeling the urge to relax, but I won't. I'm getting my hair braided in the morning.
I said all that to ask this:
Natural ladies: When did you know you were ready to go natural?
Relaxed ladies: Have you ever been tempted to go natural, but chickened out due to uncertainty?
I guess I won't really know what I wanna do until I have an abundance of my natural texture to work with, but any input y'all can provide will be great....esp my 4b sistas.
