Why'd You Go Natural?

This week's Tweetin Thursdays question was:

"Why'd you go natural?"

 

--

--I was curious about my natural texture.

--Decided 1 day last summer tht i didnt feel like straightening it anymr.was also time for a new look lol #naturalhair

--I went natural to have options and bc I was curious as to what my hair was like relaxes free.

--I am in the process - I have two girls 1 & 3 and I look at them and LOVE their hair and how can I say you should keep it this way and not perm it when mine is permed? Who is the better role model me or Beyonce?

--My hair is prone to frizziness..whether natural or relaxed! Why pay $65 for a relaxer when my hair doesn't wanna relax! Plus I LOVE my coil pattern. So I decided to embrace the nappiness and I'm loving it.

--I run track at my school, and being on a college budget and an athlete does not mix. I love being able to wet my hair, sweat with no shame, and not have to worry about getting my hair done over paying for a meal

--i got tired of damage from relaxers and i researched and learned..not just about hair but about my history and culture and how hair's tied 2 it..plus, i cant be proud of my natural looks with relaxed hair, it's a contradiction :)

--I wanted something different; I didn't get burns from relaxers, I just loved how thick my hair was in between relaxers. I also hated that my hair would break off so easily. I started out just wanting to take better care of my hair during a relaxer stretch and ended up wanting to get my natural texture back.

--At the time I had short hair and was tired of getting partials every 2 weeks!

--An example for my daughter - I can rock my hair multiple styles :) Last week she stated, "Mommy, your hair looks just like mine" It has been 20 months, still transitioning, but loving my choice!

--I went natural because I got tired of hiding behind my hair and clinging to it to feel pretty. I also got tired of all the chemicals that used to maintain my hair.

--I chose to go natural after watching the movie Good Hair! Besides my hair is naturally beautiful.
