Relaxed and loving it!
To answer the question....I'm not sure about naturals out numbering relaxed heads but I will say there is WAY MORE support on LHCF for naturals than relaxed. Let me add...WE get out what WE put in!!!

When I started lurking, I went natural within 2 mos. I stayed natural for about two years. Totally not for me. My natural hair texture and density is far beyond what I am willing to maintain day in and day out. However I definitely learned a lot by going through the journey.
Relaxer absolutely killed my mom's hair but she was afraid of the BC. She never visits this board but I took everything I learned here and convinced her to go natural. She has never been happier.

Relaxed checking in. I think it is GREAT!!! To have a choice. With all of the knowledge we can have healthy relaxed or natural hair. None of this is in stone any of us relaxed heads could be transitioning tomorrow or any naturals could be relaxed tomorrow. The main thin is we know what to do to keep our hair on our heads and off the floor.

I sorta feel like there are more naturals on here. This march makes 3yrs since I've been natural(I transitioned with weaves,I'm at collarbone I guess). I had a bad experience when I was about 19 with a relaxer that burned pretty much a palm sz patch on the back on my head to the scalp

I am relaxed. I have thought about whether I should be natural or relaxed for a while. My relaxed hair is super easy and I'm basically on auto pilot with it. So I think I will stay relaxed. I want to see how long it can get

This is interesting. When I wanted to grow my hair long I was already natural, but I wanted to grow it long then relax it. Then I found this board and decided I am NEVER relaxing my hair again. Because all of the natural ladies have showed me the versatility of natural hair and its beauty!

This sums it AAAALL up! What you do with your hair is a style decision that only you can make, we got options so if you want to explore go for it! I'm not saying i'd never relax again cause i know it would be different now that i know how to take care of it. I dont want to deal with chemicals when i'm pregnant though and hopefully that will be soon
thats part of the reason i wanted to stop relaxing. And as i said before, its impossible to have the same strength relaxed as natural, it just is cause u alter your hair. Your hair might still be strong but it wont be as strong and i miss the strength i had so i'm on my way back to natural. But DO YOU! I know i drool a great deal over relaxed hair and natural hair its the health that matters so whatever you choose to do is nobody's business but yours.

i'm relaxed but i want to go natural because i've been relaxed since a very young age and i don't want to go all of my life not knowing the true texture of my hair. i love all types of hair and have yet to comb, style and take care of the hair the God gave me. i feel like i relax my hair just because i always have. with that said, i also don't want to go natural because i feel like i just figured out how to achieve healthy relaxed hair and its working. it will probably be years till i go natural but, i will someday

Hi there! I am currently relaxed, 1-2 inches from APL. Believe it or not, my relaxed hair takes my abuse and neglect better than my natural hair! This board is a blessing because I am learning so much about hair care.
Year ago, I discovered after having a wrist injury that leaving my hair alone would add to it's health - after not curling and drying constantly.
I guess I am lucky to have a stylist who will not over process my hair - I have begun to go in for touch ups 8-9 weeks and hope to strech it more. One of my goals is to take even better care of my hair both internally and externally.
I am so glad for this board and the wonderfulness of its members! I embrace any choice a woman has for her hair as long as it is healthy!

I went natural because a year ago I started taking care of my body. I wanted to be the healthiest me I could be. I had reading on these boards because I wanted to grow my hair down my back when I ran across naturals. That is when I realized hair and body go hand in hand. I only (90% of the time) out fresh fruits and veggies and unprocessed foods in my body so why should I treat my hair any different. I want to be healthy thru and thru.

I feel you. I'm relaxed as well and I'm sticking with it. My natural hair is a real beast, it's hard to manage and it sucks up moisture like nothing. I would go natural if I had a different texture of hair that was easier to manage. I've had a lot of complaints while I was growing up about my hair being too thick/coarse etc.

Natural, thick, with much attituuuuuude and shrinkage that would make many woman cry their eyes out.
It is what it is and it is all mine.

ok so im a natural head, been so for over 5 years but does it really matter?
Isn't the point of the point of this board to educate us on growing and retaining long healthy hair care?
I don't really think it makes a difference for me. i've learned lots from both natural and relaxed heads on here so idk for me i don't care either way
