Once I got over the mental part, it was all downhill from there. I was so brainwashed into thinking that my hair had to be a certain way and people expected me to have "good hair" (I HATE THAT TERM!) because I'm multiracial, but my hair isn't super loosely curled like people expected it to be. I don't care though, I love my texture. It's kind of in the middle so I can wear curly styles and big frizzy afro styles which are my absolute favorite. You just have to give yourself time to fall in love with your hair all over again. The transition is definitely mostly mental. Once I got over the mental part, it was all downhill from there.

I know how you feel. I've only been fully natural for 2 and half months. Kchey09, I have the same exact experiences with my husband. I know how you feel.

I must admit it took me several months to get on board with leaving my relaxers behind. 6 months in, I couldn't imagine goin back. My issues were work and my husband. After lots of deep thought I simply decided that I couldn't allow the work place trends or my husband to deter me from doing what was right for me. Needless to say, my co-workers (at least the ones that count) are supportive and although my husband is still on the fence (and forbids bc'ing) he is no longer feeding me constant negativity. I've even got a couple of compliments from him. This is truly an amazing journey. I am learning so much about myself and my hair and look forward to the many lessons ahead. I agree 100%.

That's exactly what the majority of women go through when contemplating going natural. And there are more emotions after you actually Big Chop. That's when you really have to learn to love yourself no matter what everyone's opinions are. That's when you really learn that what you think about yourself will be reflected to others.
