Why natural?

When I think about women going back to natural, I always had a negative thought. I felt you should not go natural if you did not have good hair. Good hair? What's good hair? As I begin to think, I found out that it's not about good hair, but about healthy hair ,whether perm was your thing or natural. So the big question for me was "should I go natural?" and "why did I want to go natural"?  I have had perm hair from day one, that was like the big thing when I was growing up, straight long hair. I liked my perm hair but could figure out why it was not growing long like other girls. I had to see what all this natural hair talk was all about, so I begin to YouTube and looking at different channels, and boy did I find some amazing information about natural hair. I loved the way it looked, and what you could do to it. So I took the information and begin my transition Oct.10,2012. My transitioning period was very easy for me because I kept my hair, in buns, ponytails and braids, but of course I was getting really bored and wanted to see what my natural hair really was going to look like, so I cut a small back piece of my hair, and love what I saw. I then begin to research the BC known as the big chop, I was not ready to cut all my hair off, so I set a big chop day and stuck to it. March 15, 2013 was my big chop day !!!!!! I had no idea what I was getting myself into. I never researched on how to talk care of my natural hair until after I did my big chop! I only knew to keep heat off my hair and keep it moist but ohhhhh it was a whole different story after researching a few of my hair crush, they had this thing down pack, regimen? Mud wash? Co-wash?  I no idea what I was doing and no idea where to start!  Was I ready????  Stay toon more of my story to come!!!!!!
