We have new members, lurking members, and current members who like change, so I thought it would be a good idea to have this poll Jan of each year.:yep:

Vote and share a story or two.

I'm newly natural but none of your options really fit me so I didn't vote. I don't have enough hair to heat train, LOL!

I'm new to the forum. After years of hiding my unmanageable hair under weaves, I finally decided to texlax this past December. I'm loving the results. Now I just need to take extra special care of my hair to ensure growth. I plan to stretch 12 weeks between touch-ups (that should be fun lol)

Do you have a relaxer? Did you put a relaxer in for a short time and then neutralized? Have you used a flat iron or curling iron so often that your hair remains straight when water touches it? If you answered no to all those questions, than you will find your answer.

I flat iron once every few months and I usually rollerset or bantu knot outs in between. Since I mostly roller set and dont get a lot of shrinkage is that
Natural rarely use heat/shrikage or Natural heat tranined?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I wasnt sure since I rarely use direct heat.

LMAO! :lachen::grin:

I know what the other options mean. I just meant that I'm natural but I don't plan to be heat trained and I won't be using heat any time soon.

I know there are some who are loc'd as well but that can be consider more of a style too though. Anyways I called it quits on heat because I get bored with my hair by the 3rd day at the latest.

Umm...there's no option for just a regular natural. I straighten (blowdry) often, but unfortunately I'm not heat trained; my hair shrinks to full capacity when wet. So I can't choose heat trained. I also rarely let my hair shrink to the max. So I can't choose rarely use heat-shrinkage. Plus that option is confusing. Some other options are missiong as others have pointed out. Perhaps you can do a new poll with all the options that were used in the previous census'!

I voted Natural, although I use heat ,more often than I would like to (trying to change that in 2011)*....my hair still isn't "heat trained", it reverts right back when I wash it.
