To curl, or not to curl? / myLot

I have naturally curly hair, and it’s really curly. I can style it to arrange “less curl”, but I like it. Both my mom and I both had/have naturally curly hair. Of course, growing up, you want to fit in, and despite getting a lot of compliments on my curly hair, I wanted straight hair. I got over that, thankfully. Is your hair curly, wavy, or straight? The hair I love the most is my niece, Annelyn. She’s biracial so her hair has beautiful kinky curls. Hopefully, someday she’ll be able to style it herself.

Mine has a little wave to it but not really curly. I keep it up most of the time though, you know that. It’s started getting a little curlier the older I’ve gotten, or maybe it’s that way because I keep it up more. Idk. lol

My hair was very straight until I grew it back after I got out of the army. Then it got curly in places for some reason. Now, it's obvious I'm losing it, and I'm not going to be the guy trying to hold on to every last strand, so I shave it all off now.

That’s a good idea. Most guys do look better when they do that.

@AmbiePam - I'm not fond of it, but it's better than the alternative. Definitely more comfortable.

My hair has always been wavy. No matter how much I tried to straight it when I had very long hair, as soon as there was humidity in the air, the waves were back.

I love curls. Of course, as a teen I fought them all the time, the style was long and straight...but I really couldn't achieve that. I do have to say that my hair is still curly if I wash it and just let it go, but it's not as curly as it was as a small child or young adult. My hair is very fine in texture, Aunt always said I had ''baby hair'' so maybe I do. I wear it up all the time as it tangles easily. I haven't had short hair but just a few times in years and years...when it's short, I can't even get a brush through it, it just curls too much. So at least the length helps it not kink up. Embrace your curls, Amber. They are beautiful.

Me too. Curls just make me happy. My niece, Amyra, also has curly hair because she is black, and I tell her and Annelyn to always protect their curls. Don’t let anyone make you think you need to straighten it.
