1.Why did you really go natural?
2. What was your experience with/ thoughts of of your hair before?
3. Have you ever backslid?
4. Did something discourage/has someone or something either discouraged you?
5. Would you ever get a perm again?
6. Regrets?
1. I just did, there wasn't some big revelation or on some problack steez. Even in school I had wished my mom just pressed my hair but it was too late (or so I thought). I have always like "natural things" things too. My best friend started while away at college. It’s really sad the concept never occurred to me. Most every one I knew got them. If they didn't they had "mixed hair" My perms were already spaced out, then I stopped going to the salon () and using store boxes which weren’t as strong. Then I just stopped. ( started in 2007/2008 btw)
2. I never wore weave except for braids even when I had a perm. I was always big on my own hair. I never really liked perms. My mom took me to get one when I was 5 I think I was really young, traumatizing. It burned I cried made them wash it out before time. I refused to let them finish my hair. Then I refused to go back. But I needed to, permed hair needed to be taken care of and my damaged hair began to fall out. It did recover and I started getting my hair done again. It was still wavy with the perm but when I was younger I wanted it straight. Probably because of barbie and my moms hair. Its really crazy having no idea what your texture really is. I remember talking about how my hair use to look in pictures and thinking it could never look like that again.
3. When I first went natural, I only lasted 3 or 4 months. I permed my hair and immediately regretted it. Then about a year and ½ in I put a texturizer on it
4. Not really, nothing but all the work and having to be on top of it. Can’t be lazy with natural hair IMO and I am
5. I use to say I would when I was starting out. Its temping to see your shrinkage and wonder how it would be permed. But these days when I am sick of it I lean toward cutting all off. Was so close a few weeks ago
6. That my mother never had me get a perm, ever.
