I'm always finding posts about curly haired girls wanting straigtening methods...am I the only one who's HAPPY they have curls? I wouldn't like to have straight hair...who's with me on this?

(Nothing against straight-haired girls...you gals can pull off a lot of things we can't!)

I am also a curly-haired girl who loves her curls, but I think it all goes back to the grass is always greener... Sometimes (not often) I wish I could get my hair to straighten, but that's mostly just for a change. I wish I just had the option. Most days though I love my curls!

I hear you! I love my curls, and I get so sick of those unappreciative of what God's blessed them with. I spend about 3 minutes a day styling my hair. Wash, gel, scrunch, and go. And I get SOOOOOOO many compliments from so many people. I think alot of girls don't know how to make the most of their curls, and are too influenced by current fashion trends. But curls are timeless. Not to mention, since I said goodbye to straightening about 4 years ago, my hair has been in incredible shape. Heat appliances never touch it. I don't know why any curly girl would spend so much time, effort, and money to straighten it.

CURLS ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!

I wish I could enjoy my curls, but my hair is just stupid lol.. The top layer is wavy and underneath it's curls. The top layer won't curl no matter! If I somehow manage to get my curls to look good, in about an hour's time, it's a total mess and really frizzy. Maybe if my hair gets longer I'll be able to wear my hair curly more often. I'd sure like to!

Rachel, how long is your hair now? I have noticed that the shorter I keep mine, the better it curls. Mine is kind of opposite yours, curlier on the top that on the bottom. But it is just above shoulder length now with a good layer cut, and it curls really well. Do you have layers? That seems like it should help the top to curl. It makes sense from a gravity point of view that shorter hair has more spring to it. Just a suggestion, and good luck.
