going natural??? i never heard of that!!!

I went natural because i was just bored of my hair relaxed...I wanted something new..something i never had before..I had everything done to my relaxed hair bangs, color, highlights, side bangs, a bob, and final my short cut I just wanted something new..my relaxed hair had no damage so that wasn't the case..I was just simply bored and wanted to see my REAL hair texture for a change..I've been natural now for 4 months (well dec. 3rd makes my 4 month) and I love everything about it..I know ill never be bored of my natural hair...i love watching it grow and with all the styles natural hair can do I seriously doubt boredom will ever be a problem again

I was always seeing people who had "curly" hair and was wanting my hair to look the same. For example, Kelis. I loved loved loved her hair and I tried my best to get my hair like that. The closes I got was crunchy, dry, waves. I didn't go natural for some deep reason, I just went because I wanted the hair I'd always envied

My story is a lot different from most naturals. I didn't chose to go natural - in fact, in my naive, young mind, I don't think I knew what "going natural" meant. Instead, my stylist didn't want to give me one. (I think at this time she was transitioning, and because she is very much into hair care and maintainance, she didn't want to give me one). Not just that, but to achieve my staple hair style, I didn't need the chemicals. So I stopped getting the perms.

I didn't go natural with the intent to wear my hair in its natural state. And for a long time I didn't consider myself natural because I didn't. However, I'm now starting to appreciate my kinks and curls.

I went natural because I wanted to see what my natural texture looked like. My mother had been relaxing my hair since I was 3 or 4 years old. So I don't remember at all what it looks like at all. I don't even have a picture. Relaxed hair was all I knew. I thought why not where my hair the way it naturally grows out of my head and love it!!! I have been natural for 11 months and I will never relax my hair again. If I want it straight I will just flat iron it. I am loving every minute of my natural journey!!!!

I have been wearing my hair natural for 11 years and I did it because I realized that growing up I had a lot of self hatred issues. I wanted hair like my mom which was a fine loose curl pattern. I couldn't understand why I had to have "hair like my daddy!" LOL. So as I got older I decided to address my issues with my hair and decided to wear my hair natural to see if I can appreciate it in it's natural state. I realized that my natural hair was so versatile and I was able to experiment with more styles than I could when I chemically altered it. I also learned that my natural hair is beautiful and so now I wear my natural hair with pride!

I went natural because I couldn't remember what my natural texture looked like and also I was tired of being dependent on unreliable hair stylist.

I stayed natural because I love my natural texture. I can't believe I have been altering it all this time.

2 years 4 months natural

I was going bald from all the breakage. I got scared and decided it was time to do something different. I think the transition was kind of easy for me because I didn't wear my hair out anyway. I hated my relaxed hair. I always wore braids, but relaxed my hair underneath so my edges looked good. Yeah, I'm so serious.

I'll admit I didn't know what "going natural" was. When my bestie suggested it I was like "what's that" and she said "Your hair without a relaxer". Then I looked around the room (I was visiting at her mom's house) and realized that none of the four other women in the room had a perm. A lightbulb went off, oh, you mean, no relaxer???

Lord help a sistah.

Cuz I love the curls and the low maintenance.

I decided to go natural because I haven't seen my natural hair since before kindergarten. I think my hair needed a fresh start. Relaxers and flat irons have gradually taken their toll on my hair. I'm only 4 months into my transition, but I can already tell how thick my hair is without the relaxer.

im natural because i like natural hair and that how i want my hair to be, but i did become inspired to wear my natural hair from the ladies on yt. when i saw my first natural hair video i was hook on natural hair. watch loads of natural hair vids. read loads of natural hair blogs and just researched and read everything i could. im not suprise people dont know what going natural is. where im from u just dont see natural hair. everyone is relaxed or weaved.
