Well, I went "natural" with my afro is because the relaxers were taking my hair out. Since growing it out with nap and kink, it is less of a bother and it is less maintenance. I did it for personal reasons and I just wanted to see how I looked in a fro. Growing up, I saw my parents with fros and they were all militant and ish. I've grown up just the same, out being active with a cause. When I cut my hair off, Black folks were trippin but I don't buy into what they have to say. It's my hair, and its a little liberating to break away from the norm.
Relaxers just aren't for me.
