It didn't take much for my trim the perm only up top because it was longer. Since I tend to wear braids and things it's not that hard for me.Eat.Style.Playhttp://www.EatStylePlay.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-42045130730635757482014-01-16T12:18:55.222-05:002014-01-16T12:18:55.222-05:00Great post!

I have fine hair and it takes more work to get it looking full and to have definition. It is definitely not for the faint at heart. On the other hand it looks healthy and has grown. It has been 5yrs for me and I will never get another perm. I do flat iron it about 3 or 4 times a year.Margaret Heisworkingitout Reednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-70561273065434672672014-01-15T17:23:09.731-05:002014-01-15T17:23:09.731-05:00It was hard for me, but it is going to be hard for...It was hard for me, but it is going to be hard for someone who only knows how to deal with straight hair. I couldn't handle the two textures while transitioning, but now I am sticking to protective styling so I can grow my hair to style it how I please.

My hair is so fine so I have to do things a bit differently than a person with coarser hair (which I hated at first). It's been a process but I think it's for the better.

It was hard for me to get used to styling it more than before. It definitely takes time and patience now.

The natural market is SO saturated with "guru's" with the hair rules, the do's and don't' and it can be extremely overwhelming sifting through everyone's opinion to find what works for you and your hair. In addition, you will hear the opinions of the people around you and it may not always be nice. I've been natural for 1.5 years and it took me a long time to learn that my hair is completely different than that natural chick next to me - and while she may run down the list of her routine and her simple products it may not work for my hair and my hair probably won't yield the same results. I think learning to love your natural hair as it grows from your scalp is key and patience goes a long way too.J.

For transitioning, you think of the long period it will take to grow the hair to your appreciable length.GhanaianEmprezzhttp://www.ghanaianemprezz.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-16066035285912025292014-01-15T12:57:40.643-05:002014-01-15T12:57:40.643-05:00The drama is so funny, I went natural because I h...The drama is so funny, I went natural because I had never been given the choice or knew what natural even was. And then I found out I could live my life with no relaxer and grow out my edges and it was a done deal. Sure, it takes some getting used to but the versatility and truth of the curl makes it worth it. Thank God I found natural forums online on YouTube! <br /><br />This post is so on pointVesta Fosunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8799476910792158459.post-49040983279140861872014-01-15T12:50:56.586-05:002014-01-15T12:50:56.586-05:00I think it really depends on who you ask.

Having the proper knowledge on how to go natural, a great support system and even your age may be huge factors on whether the journey will be smooth sailing or filled with defeat. I tripped and fell into going natural but all my failures allowed me to find out what was important to me and how to properly manage my hair. Look, we didn't instantly learn how to manage relaxed hair yet many feel we must be able to do that with natural hair. It takes TIME to master this beautiful hair we have so patience is vital and having correct information is even more important. I"m so glad there are more and more naturals willing to share their journey through vlogs, blogs, books and word of mouth. All of that makes it easier for the newly naturals and help ensure this is more than a passing trend.

My decision to big chop was as simple as me no longer wanting to detangle two textures of hair. I transitioned for a year prior to my big chop and I was dreading my wash day as a sat at work on a Friday. I said to myself I'm just gonna cut my relaxed ends when I get home and that's exactly what I did. Easy peasy, lol. I do agree that there is much anxiety that comes with deciding to go natural which is probably fear of the unknown. On the other hand it could be fear of criticism as well.BajanBeautyhttp://www.curvesandconfidence.comnoreply@blogger.com
