I know you didn't ask me but I am gonna answer for me
I had been natural off and on since 2003, My hair grew the same, so it wasn't like I had any faster growth, but the dryness was killing me, I tried everything and it just didn't work, so If i could have combat the dryness I would more than likely still be natural, but this will be my first time growing texturized hair, I had been texlaxed before but preferred more of my kinks & curls, And, no I had no problem going back to the Relaxer, for me, Hair isn't that serious or deep, but for others I understand why it is deep and understand the point they make.
I might end up transitioning and don't touch up, who knows LOL!!!
