au natural

so i've been tempted to go natural for a while, i'm sitting here playing with my effed up do to say the least, and it only seems more tempting. my problem is i don't know what hair styles i could have without relaxed hair and I'm not ready for locs just yet. i'm not even interested in natural because of all the "your hair will be healthier" jazz, because even though it's probably true, my hair has been really really healthy since i chopped it off last year. only thing i'm regretting right now is dying it because it really is a lot to maintain.

the natural thing is appealing though. I would like to have an afro, but the transition to natural is just so tiring. I've read about it in blogs and such and ugh.... not even. I've been saying for the past year that I'll shave my head bald at 25, but that's 2 years away! i dunno, i'm too impulsive, because when i said that i wanted to cut my hair last summer, a week later i just did it. made the appointment and mid wash just said, "hey why don't you cut about 4 inches?" i need to think this mess through. maybe i'll read up about transitional styles or something. i set that deadline for a reason. i know my bald headed ass will be regretting it if i do it now.

i dunno, i'm still in the thinking stages about going natural. i look at Martina and she doesn't even know what to do with her hair beyond putting it in braids when she can. how is my lazy ass going to manage?

I know i have mad natural lj friends. If i decide to do this I'm going to be consulting your asses like Ask Jeeves!
