Lisa hope the knee heals quickly. June Billie I would have your hair cut to take advantage of the natural curl and let it go natural. With the right cut you would probably only have to fluff it in the morning. I have the opposite problem. Mine is thin fine and straight. I fought with styling it for years. Tons of gel, curling irons. and hairspray. My hair finally won and I gave up. I had it cut short and I get out of the shower and fluff it a little bit. When it dries a little spritz of hair spray and I am ready to go. Even with all the gel and stuff it fell flat anyway. Go for an easy style you will love it.
