Well to answer your question...I prefer both. Every three or four months I'll grow my hair out then cut it all off. When my hair is extremely short (think pencil lead short...I keep it natural and use leave-in conditioner makes it look like a texturizer.)
But when I grow it out...I get perms. Unfortunately, (although my friends say I'm fortunate I get my hair from my father- chickasaw and choctaw.) He has naturally wavy hair and he perms his to get it straight. I have weird hair...half curly and wavy. Perms really damage my hair and only last two weeks or three at the max before I out grow them.
But having natural hair doesn't have anything to do with getting back with my roots. It's just that with short hair I can get up wash it and go...rather than mess around with straightening curling irons.
