You hve beautiful hair both straight and curly. my daughter, 23, has natural curls. Spent ages 13 to 19 straightening and has now embraced the curls. I love her natural look even when it gets a bit wild. Just like everything else, it's nice to try a new look. BTW, my son, 32, also has long natural curls. I like his tied back out of his face. Not much for a guy with long curly hair but he has a reat looking pony tail!

I have naturally curly hair and do I wish for straight hair - yes!

One time my daughter used one of those irons to straighten it. It took quite a long time and then I stepped outside into the humidity and back came the curls.

Guess I'm destined for curly hair the rest of my life! I'm just trying to decide if I should keep it long and pull it back or cut it short!

Your hair looks really good both ways. Nice to have options!

Both are lovely on you. What is really nice is you can have both with ease (smile). Most of us work and work at getting those curls. Thank you for sharing.

I have that "poker straight" hair you mentioned. When I was little my 2 older sisters would curl my hair and then watch the curls fall out. Never took long. :) When I was in my 20's I got perms every 3 months. I did this until about 2 years ago. Decided I didn't want to keep spending the money. Now it's straight and about shoulder length. Still doesn't hold a curl but I can put a flip in the ends with a flat iron. I've decided ponytails aren't that bad, especially when we go camping in the summer. :)

My hair is so straight I think the ruler companies could use it to test with. Wish I had your curl. Oh well at least I have hair.

There's the chemical straight.... like a reverse perm. And there's the ceramic iron (flat iron) straight, that only lasts until you wash your hair again. OR if you're in a topical climate like I am... it lasts until you go outside for while.

I have naturally curly hair, live in south florida, the frizz central of hair! I had it straightened temporarily when the youth group high school girls got a hold of me (I was a youth volunteer minister). lol. What fun we had! But my husband HATED it when I got home. lol
