I'm currently 7 months post relaxer and have been contemplating wether or not to go natural or not for a while...for people who are natural,what is it like after you cut the relaxed ends? and do you ever regret going natural.?

Not really, you have to put in a little work, and get use to poofiness and tangles. But I mean you could always blow dry it or flat iron it and it will look almost similar to relaxed straightened hair.

I love my hair since going natural. Yes, it's a lot of TLC but it's much thicker & healthier & versatile. You'll notice your hair actually grows a little faster when you cut the relaxed ends off & if you don't like the look right away just wear protective styles :)

I have been natural all my life but I have only begun to take care if my hair the right way for a year. You should definitely look up transitioning. You don't need to cut the relaxed part off all at once like a Big chop, though it's a good idea! I used to HATE my hair until I started to properly take care of it. Taking care of it now, it is no longer a giant frizz ball, and I have found so many cute styles! And I am honestly so happy I never relaxed in my "I want stick straight hair" phase. (No hate to those who have relaxed! It's a preference of what you want!) I find that it takes adjusting to your curls and the. From there you can find people with the same hair type who have tips and product recommendations!
