I started a new job and two ladies that I work with are natural!! Yippie...so, I don't feel so awkward coming to work with my natural curls out. ...actually, no one has mentioned my hair really...so, I guess it's okay?! I'm timid in some settings about showing the natural curls - but honestly, I think my hair (now that it has more length), doesn't look too crazy - or unkempt. So, I'm becoming more accepting (finally..yay!).
One lady I work with has been natural for two years after having a terrible experience during a "chemical" session. When I was talking to her, she stated some of the same reasons as to why I went natural for herself.
...so my top reasons for going natural
1. stop paying these stylist so much money
2. to actually see what "MY" hair looks like
3. not wanting my hair to be thinner as I aged
4. wanting healthy hair - strong hair, that didn't break off
5. having the ability to "sing in the rain" - instead of running!!
I'm glad I made the decision to go natural and I will never have a perm again -seriously. It may be a hassle when I want to wear my hair straight (and, I may start doing that more regularly now) - but it's all worth it.
I was thinking the other night that the last time I got a perm was two weeks before November 3, 2007 - so I haven't gotten a perm in 2.5 years? My big chop anniversary is coming up in July! What should I do to celebrate...few highlights?....ABSOLUTELY NOT!
I had an experience with hair color a few...maybe a lot of years back...and I vowed then...no more color for me. My hair was probably damaged from that treatment and my color was never right - like I imagined it.
