Why did I become natural ? 
Well basically I decided to go natural because I was tired of my relaxed hair. I wanted my hair to be in a much healthier state and I wanted to retain length. I had always had a relaxer from about the age 4 or 5 and had never seen my hair without the creamy crack . For the most part my hair had always been somewhat healthy but somewhere around 09/2010 ish the health of my hair began to decline. It began to thin and I began to see a major difference. To make matters worse I decided to dye my hair. After I added the dye to my hair, it began thinning to the point where I barely had hair. Huge Fail. Somewhere during that time I decided I would transition into natural hair. I transitioned for about 3 or 4 months and decided I could NO LONGER deal with the two different textures. It was a huge PAIN.. I had all this thick curly hair growing from my roots and then at then ends where the relaxer had been, it was almost nonexistent, lol. I couldn't deal. So I decided: I'm young, I have nothing to lose, What the Heck? So I went for it and Big Chopped! 

How Long Have I Been Natural?
I Big Chopped November 20, 2010
