I've been natural since may of 2010, and it has been a struggle. What led to my decision was the fact that, after frequent trips to many beauty salons, I found my hair breaking off really badly. I believe the strain of the bonding glue was a contributing factor for my breakage.
Backstory: I never had silky, smooth long tangle-free hair. I've always had coarse and really short hair because of the use of constant chemical relaxers. I was about 10 when I had my first relaxer, and after that, I would get one about every eight weeks or two months. I do love the idea about not having chemicals in my hair, but it hard for me to maintain my wayward hair.
So how do I tame this beast?
