In the United States, many black women have decided or are planning to go natural by "letting go of the lye." These days you can see sistas and even brothas in just about every major city across the country rockin' natural hairstyles. However despite this movement towards Naturalism, the battle to rid ourselves of the chemicals is far from over.

If you have a nice, petite lil' dome, then you can probably rock a close crop somethin' fierce. For all others, well...hats come in a variety of styles.

Keeping a short natural is all about courage. I don't care how cute you think you are, it's difficult for many women to even fathom having their hair cut extremely close.
