Now it's baby soft around the edges/root while the length grows in a spiral pattern. How do you know that natural hair "would work" unless you tried. And I mean REALLY tried; tried to learn how to treat your hair like it is supposed to be treated...

A couple of questions for you Poplife.. What do you mean your hair was DREADFUL when you first started to grow it out? What if it didn't end up "baby soft around the edges" and in spiral patterns at the ends? What if you had those little be-be shots that we used to tease boys about in the 2 - 3 grade (usually because they didn't comb their hair.) Would you be as proud to be nappy then? Would you still give folks who perm a hard time? Is a texturizer more "BSC" (Black socially correct--my new made up term) than a perm or does it not make a difference cause it's all chemical? What about a blow out kit? Is that o.k.?
