July 2012 Twist out
There is a misconception that to go natural, you always have to cut all your relaxed hair off or it will fall off drastically as soon as you stop relaxing your hair. This is not true. You can also go natural via the long transition route. When I say long transition, I mean anything from one to two years dealing with different textures. Though not the easiest route, at least if you are like me who does not want to cut her hair off or have very short hair because of involuntary breakage, you have a viable option when you decide to go natural.
