So, since the last time I've posted (2011) many things have changed. One being I've successfully transitioned to natural hair and big chopped in August 2012. Over the past few years "going natural" has become a huge trend. From TV to hair products to the new "look", natural hair has taken over. With this there have been many people successfully and unsuccessfully transitioning or just going straight for the big chop. Many people are unsure of the reasons that they decided to stop processing their hair whether it be because of the trend or because of their own personal choice.
Surprisingly I'm not a "natural hair Nazi" as many people are referred to. I think all hair is beautiful, processed and unprocessed. I think it is truly about what the individual loves. If someone big chops for the wrong reason and isn't comfortable with their hair, it will show. The public will love whatever your confidence persuades them to love. It doesn't matter if you have purple hair, if you are confident, people will love it.
Natural hair comes with a big responsibility. Not just because alot of people only use "homemade" products it's because it's your NATURAL hair. Every one's hair is different and it takes time, money, and much effort to find out what works for your hair.
I feel the most important conclusion you need to make before you transition is, one, are you ready for the responsibility, and two, are you making the choice because of your own opinion or someone else's.
