If you think this an exaggeration because curly hair is a blessing, I bet you are graced with silkly straight tresses. Some people seem to be disillusioned into thinking the curlier the better. My friend with straight locks tell me how terribly lucky I am to have naturally curly hair. Of course, these same people distress about their gorgeously perfect hairdos. It is because people with straight hair can have any kind of hairstyle imaginable.
Perms do the trick nicely.
You name the hairstyle, and you can have it if your hair is straight. Despite Hollywood trends, the fact remains that straight hair always looks good. People want to run their fingers through straight hair. Curly hair is dangerous for fingers. Tangle traps are everywhere.
