I love being natural, I really never felt comfortable with permed hair or weaves, I never felt like I was being truly myself. So I thought why not just go natural, I tried twice and ended up perming it because I just wasn't comfortable, felt judged and I just didn't want to deal with the stares and stupid questions, but then I thought well how crazy is that, I want my hair a certain way but I'm afraid of what society is going to say because that's not considered to be the norm, especially with my hair texture, people tell me if I had good hair then I would leave it natural, what? My hair is good, it's mine. I'm not natural because it's a political statement, I'm natural because it's the best thing for me and my hair. I have never felt more beautiful, more comfortable in my life, maybe part of it is getting older, you get comfortable in your own skin. It's funny because I find it more white people are acceptable of my hair, black women are like wtf put that thing away, lol and then you have some who want to do the same so they root for you too. It has been a journey that I just love, it's accepting myself, not altering anything to fit in society standard of beauty, I have curved my own definition, and that's perfect for me.
