So, many of us on this board have flip flopped between being natural and getting a relaxer. I, for one, have been trying to make a decision for a long time now. So, I have made a list of questions that might help us all with deciding what to do. Feel free to add to the list.
1.Why do you want to make a change at all?
2.How do you want to wear your hair everyday?
3.What are the pluses and minuses of relaxed hair?
4.What are the pluses and minuses of natural hair?
5. Which style looks better on you? Which gives you more confidence?
6. What is the upkeep for each hair type?
7. If natural, are you patient enough for detangling?
8. If relaxed, are you patient enough for styling?
9. Can you accept wearing protective styles more often than not if relaxed?
10. If a transition goes wrong, what are your options?
11. Does either style have any significance for you as more than just a style?
12. If relaxed, can you shell out more money for quality products and salon care?
13. What has been your past experience with either style?
14. Since we're on a quest for longer hair, can you accept shrinkage and even grow to love it? Can you accept possibly having to get more trims with a relaxer?
15. Which lifestyle is more sustainable for you? Will you relax forever, if that is your inclination?
16. If transitioning to natural, are you patient enough to deal with the demarcation line and nurture both hair types at once?
