My sister who is 5 years younger than me was my inspiration. She went natural about 2 years prior. I saw how amazing her hair looked and how FAST it grew. So I said what the heck and transitioned from relaxed to natural for 4 months. Then one day I was in the bathroom and just took the scissors and started chopping! After I did it, I was instantly in a state of shock and disbelief at what I just did! But then it grew on me and I loved and embraced my new look. I hid it from some people for a minute for the fear of what they would say. Silly me!
Now 14 months later I'm happy as can be with my new look and my new kinks. Even thought about sister locs but something about not being able to run a comb over my scalp makes me crindge. But I admit those locs be looking some kinda fierce!
Being natural can be a lot work if you wear a lot of protective styles (styles that keep your hands out of your hair). I mean, its definatley not like the days that you just take your silk scarf of in the a.m. and comb your hair down and go. Now I need to allow extra time everday to comb,brush, moisturize, assessorize, pin here and gel there. But the results are usually pleasing to the eye, at least it is to my eye..LOL
