What I recommend is that you braid your hair in single plaits (weave) that are not too small (ex: micros) and just keep wearing that style for about a year and a half. Then your hair should be more natural than permed. I did not cut my hair, but my friend who wanted to go natural also, did. Right now I have more hair than her and we both have the same texture hair (kinky). You do not need to cut your hair. Don't rush it. Just stop perming it and wash it every month or so. but if you ??will i
