Hey everybody :)... So I was having a discussion earlier today with a coworker of mine that has shoulder length hair that's always straight. She kept going on and on about how she couldn't imagine having "nappy" hair etc.. Now living in Texas, I've come across quite a few stylists that have the same "nappy/natural hair is inferior to relaxed hair" mentality so ladies, are you natural or relaxed? What made you decide? If you're relaxed/natural, what are the pros and cons?

I transitioned for two years, I got highlights in February 2010, the bleach broke my hair off terribly this year and I ended up chopping off everything, even thr progress from two years of transitioning. I now have a soft curly fro underneath my sew-in. The pros for me are:

 

less damage from chemicals

versatlity with styling

 

The cons are:

 

sometimes, it takes longer to style (because I can't just throw it in a ponytail).

Making sure my curls stay hydrated

the length for me (right now it's a short fro, i can't wait until I get more length to do more styles).

 

 

I'm relaxed, have been for over half my life (my mom made the choice for me when I was a young teen).  I wrestle with going back natural, especially times like right now when my hair is in dire need of a touch up and combing it is a chore with going between the textures and watching the excessive shedding.  I also hate paying so much for up keep!  But I'm not in a place where I can devote a lot of time to maintaining my hair if I do the "big chop" so I'll be sticking with the "creamy crack" for the forseeable future.
