Natural Beauty: Did I make the right decision for my hair?

Naturally my hair is a medium to dark brown color and is hella straight. Like, if I were to get my hair wet and then proceed to brush it while its wet it would stay straight and look like it was straightened with heat for DAYS. Ever since I could remember I always wanted to have curly hair, mainly because my grandmother had unkempt curly hair and I looked up to her a lot. Finally, a few months ago I finally broke down and permed my hair and ever since I ve loved it! I get so many compliments, my hair is voluminous and doesn t stick straight on my head, and honestly look a lot like my grandmother, and I feel a lot my confident, but I can t help but wonder was it the right choice? I m a huge believer in sticking to how our ancestors lived, and that we should continue to love ourselves, our bodies, and use natural products that keep us glowing and healthy. I wash my hair with fermented rice water and face with activated charcoal. I love my curly hair, but did I make the right decision in said "destroying" it? Am I hypocritical for liking my hair the way it is? And what do you think, should I continue to perm my hair or should I let it grow out and embrace the bone straight hair my ancestors gifted me?
