There are different ways to go natural. You could wait till all the chemicals in your hair have grown out. A way to do this with out having, half chemical and half natural is to braid your hair in extentions like I did. Keep the extensions on your hair from time to time til' all of your hair becomes natural. Now don't forget, you need to let your hair rest for the extensions every once and a while. While your hair is resting, your could do a press and curl or you could simply wear a wig. Then, when you are ready to put the extensions back in, now you can do so.

Another way to go natural is to do the big chop. Now, you will be wearing a twa for a little while but some people look good in a twa. It's not for me, but this is one way. Let your hair grow out about 2 or 3 inches then cut off the perm.

Another way is to dread your hair. Some hair can be dreaded while it still has some chemical on it. There are Brotherlocs and Sisterlocs. This type of dreading can be done while you still have chemicals on the ends of your hair.
