I met a friend a couple of weeks ago, she was very sorry because she went natural for some months but then couldn't handle her new afro and decided to relax her hair again.
She was really feeling bad for herself and felt like she couldn't reach a goal.
I know there are many of you out there facing the same issue and I want to encourage you.
I went natural two time! Yes two times.
The first time I went natural I transitioned and little by little my permed end vanished. After one year of 4c growth I didn't even know how to comb, wash and style that bushy hair.
In addition to all this when I went to the hairdresser, she said: You have to relax it if you want the weave to be beautiful".
So I relaxed my hair...
The second journey went far better, I transitioned for few months then did my big chop.
I still didn't know how to take care of my hair but I learnt day by day through you tube, blogs, facebook and by trying and trying and trying.
If you "fail" the fisrt time, nothing stops you from trying again when you are ready.
After all we shouln'd forget that it's HAIR! It will grow back and you can do what you want with it.
So ladies how many times did you go natural?
