The big choice tranistion or big chop? Which one did you do?

Everyone has to make the choice I personally had no courage at all to rock the twa so i grew out my relaxer. I wasn't comfortable with my hair yet so i did a lot of flat ironing :( I would get about 1 to 2 inches cut every 3 months and after 9 or 10 months I cut off my ends. How did your natural hair journey begin? Were you courage the cowardly dog or were you as brave as a super hero?
