Sorors, I have worn my hair in a short natural since 1993 when it all broke off because I was not able to keep up my perm. I can say that it was truly a great decision for me. My hair and scalp are healthier, I spend less time (and money!) on my hair and, thankfully, the style complements my bone structure.
However, when the the time comes to grow my hair out, I will grow into twisties and then into dreads. I love my natural self!!
I believe your hair should complement your personality and your lifestyle. I do not believe that your hair should represent the extent of your political or social belief system. I have run across some politically backwards and socially unconcious (sp?) sisters sporting 'fros and braids. So don't let the nature fool you.
