Why I made the decision to go natural

Hi All, I get asked this question a lot and even some of my followers haven't heard my reasoning for adopting the natural hair lifestyle. So, why did I go natural? I have had a fascination with deadlocks and every time I saw someone wearing them I wondered about the process. Then I started asking, most people said I would have to cut all of my relaxed hair in order to dread. I Well, that wasn't going to work for me so i began investigating other ways to dread. Through that investigation, I was introduced to the word "transition" and the meaning of it and that is when I struck gold! I made the decision to transition with the intent of dreading. 4-5months later with over 5 inches of new growth, I was still teetering on making a decision whether to dread or not. I then decided that I loved the new possibilities my transitioning hair gave me and I would hold off on dreading until I couldn't take it anymore! I transitioned for 18 months and decided I couldn't take it anymore but instead of dreading I Big Chopped and I haven’t looked back since! I am currently 5 months into my 100% Natural Hair Lifestyle and I am loving it!
