Girl, don't be afraid. I actually miss being natural, but I made a certain career choice and gotta hang with things.

I was natural for 9 years. It was 9 years of freedom hair that I enjoyed immensely with my braids, then twists and I almost locked my hair. However because of my job I had to perm my hair. I was not forced to perm my hair but I had to go there because of the side comments I heard from the white corporate managers making comments about natural hair.
It really surprised me of their ignorance but then some of these men were older and some had not seen the variety of ways that natural hair looks presentable in their eyes. Black women's hair issue is a vicious cycle that we go through in order to be accepted by society. But, I have realized that in loving myself that I can carry the natural style or the perm style. Experiencing natural hair is a part of coming to grips of what is best for what you want to do with your hair.
Though my hair is now permed, I am enjoying it because it is short with a style. However, if I am getting tired of my perm, I will reconsider my decision on going natural again.
We are blessed to have hair that allows us to choose to be straight or in its natural state. Now, that is what I call good hair! We have a choice!

I've been natural since 2000 and I haven't looked back. I know I'm lucky though: I'm not in corporate so I have and have had a lot of leeway.
One recommendation I do have is to resist the urge to become a product junkie...you will be soooo broke!:-):-)

sis... WELCOME TO THE JOURNEY! as i've said numerous times, i've got your back through this, so if you ever need any encouragement just hit me up. it's not an easy process to start, believe me, but the longer you stick to it the more rewarding it will be once you break through to the other side. there are more than enough of us who have gone through it, and if we all band together we will grow through this with flowing locks! *lol*
again welcome! i wish you much success and truly thank you for the shout.
