KS: When did you decide to go Natural & what motivated you to do it?
Tarin: I decided to go natural my junior year of high school (2004) after somehow coming across nappturality.com and seeing all the beautiful women with their natural hair. I stopped going to the hair salon until my mother forbid me from going natural so I permed again. My last perm was for senior prom in May 2005.

KS: Have you ever had a perm and what was your experience?
Tarin: I received my first perm when I was 5 years old by my cousin who was in beauty school. I remember the feeling of the burning sensation and couldn't understand why I being put through this pain.

KS: What has been the response with your natural choices positive and negative?
Tarin: When I first went natural I got a lot a flack because my hair was past shoulder length relaxed and i chopped it off to my ears! But I just held my head high and didn't take it personally. Some people have long , straight hair so deeply ingrained in them that when they see someone go outside of the box it challenges everything they believe so they have to "attack" you. Now that my hair is even longer than it was when I had a perm people just mainly feel as though i should straighten it more.
