I must admit its as the term suggest " natural" hence it's a simpler look, you have to be a born diva to pull it off, and naturally beautiful. Mixed genes is also a plus. It's up to the individual to work the look. Its hard work, skill, confidence & favor that will help to pull off this look.

No regrets. I look forward to see my hair grow back strong, healthy and long, I'm very happy about not having to use all this chemical in my hair anymore

I just gradually cut off perm ends until all was gone, then I went to the barbers & got a Mohawk
11. If you were to give words of encouragement to other women who are opposed to going natural, what would they be?
Risk, confidence, beauty, low-maintenance!
