I'm natural now for two years and four months. I'm a fan of straight hair, so occasionally I flat iron my hair. I've found that if I use small half inch sections and add water to my hair, (Yes, I said water!) it seems to be straighter and softer. My hair is a 4a/4b and stayed two to five inches long as long as a relaxer was in my hair. Since I've been natural, my hair is about 10 inches long today. I'm not trying to encourage you to walk around with hair that you can't handle or feel threatened by other's opinions about how you should wear your hair. I'm not even trying to convince you that it is better than relaxed hair. I am going to say if you don't want to spend a lot of money on your hair and you want to actually see the growth, then having natural hair without a relaxer or texturizer may be for you. I know there are products that you can buy that will keep your relaxer moisturized. However, the key word here is "buy". Lately, how much has water cost you? Well, it's not completely free, but it sure is worth the money. If you have a house or an apartment, usually you have running water in it. Just use that water in your natural hair. There is so much of it and you only need a little bit of it! Water is the key to attaining that long hair that you've dreamed of as a little girl, teenager or woman. You long haired ladies, don't completely understand this "dream". I'm smiling now, because I know that the hair struggle is real and I'm halfway to my goal of 20 inches! I've witnessed my hair growth at 1/2 inch a month. I truly believe that if I keep doing exactly what I'm doing, my hair will be 20 inches long when June 2016 comes! So, I'm looking forward to this! Unless some medical problem takes over my ability to grow hair- then, I will reach my hair length goal!
