    My hair is naturally curly.. And it was sexy as hell
    before i put layers in it, now it frizzes and does this awkward curly shizz.
    So now, i make sure it's straightened!

    I have natural curly hair Im not sure if its sexy but my whole life people told me how lucky I am to have curly hair. I used to try to straighten it but not anymore it wants to be curly so curly it is lol.
  • I had Botticelli curls from my youth up until a year ago. Then, my curls fell out and I have wavy hair at best. I'd always loved my curly hair and am still having to comes to terms that my hair may not go curly without help of rollers, and even still they aren't the same curls. I'd never even purposefully straightened my hair. I've been told that it can do with hormone levels *shrugs*

    I thought that having curly hair was a pain in the *kitten* to take care of, but straight hair is worse :/

    When I was a teenager I hated my curls.. I always straightened it!! But I've learn to love it.. I may flat iron my hair once or twice a year!! I'm pretty low maintence, so I love the fact that all I have to do after washing my hair is brush it and add little product and let it air dry, it's sooo convient!! And sometimes when I'm feeling dramatic or crazy il blow dry it half way to loosen up my curls.. I get compliments on my hair ALOT!! Sometimes random strangers feel the need to touch my hair when standing behind me at a store!!! Which is annoying! My first thought is when is the last time you washed ur nasty little hands? haha plus if you play with curls too much they get frizzy! Sooo instead of being rude I simply reply "yes it's natural... Ohh thank you so much" and run away quickly! Haha but seriously.. I think my curls make me look hella sexy!! :) just sayin..
  • Sexy is a matter of perspective.

    hi i have naturally poker straight hair and i have always wanted curls but no matter what i do they never stay in even at the hair dressers i say be proud of your curls as their is someone out there who would do anything for them.
  • Honestly, I have very thick, curly hair that used to be very tight. I used to have small, unmanageable curls that just would not stay up in a ponytail, they liked to come undone constantly, which is why I began flat ironing my hair. Now, I do it daily. Not because I don't adore curly hair ( I, for one, think it is incredibly sexy ) but it is more convenient for my hair to be straight, because it stays up in a bun, and does not get frizzy or tangled, which my hair would do a lot of when I wore it curly. There are some days when I wear it curly, but I have decided that although my curls have loosened some ( enough so I can finally get a comb through them without crying and feeling like shaving my head, thank goodness ) it's just easier for me to flat iron it.

    Added bonus: I don't have to deal with people pulling my curls, strangers touching my hair, people asking me if my hair is real, children getting their sticky fingers stuck in my curls, being caught without a spare hair tie just in case my hair decides to break the one that I've managed to thread through it, etc.

    It is how you feel it is. Im still in that stage where I don't feel it is. I feel like my hair is a mess but I hate straightening it. Hate and loathe it. It does too much damage. So I just sit and suffer with the curls and work to tame them best I can. Maybe one day Ill feel theyre sexy but I'm with you at the moment in not feeling they are.

    Yes! I'm one of those straight haired jealous girls!!

    I've always had very straight hair. I can let it air dry and it will dry completely straight! I curl my hair with a curling iron and within an hour it's straight again.

    I think people become envious of what they don't have. But embrace what/who you are naturally. I have been working on this, and having been wearing my hair straight, with my natural color. I know i'll never have that head full of bouncy mess curls. I just won't, not even a perm could do that for me. So it's just not "me" to have curls.. I guess.

    As hard as it may be. Embrace you.

    This is me too. I wanted curly hair so bad when I was a kid, my mom took me to get a perm. That didn't even work - it was straight within a month!

    Now I have a daughter of my own and her dad's family all has super curly hair - so of course she got their curls. If she is anything like her aunts, she's going to beg me to let her straighten it.

    This is what happens when you listen to those 'straight hair is pretty voices" in your head. Even though I like my hair straight I love and am missing my awesome curls.

    This might sound dumb, and I didn't really read through all the comments, but I kinda equate curly/straight hair to freckles/no freckles. If you don't have 'em, you want 'em and if you have 'em, you don't want them.

    I just recently stopped putting on make up to hide my freckles. It is what it is. I have weird hair that is wavy in some spots, curly in others and stick straight in still more. And while my hair isn't as curly as yours, I still really like oomphing up the curls. I think they're gorgeous and I'd love to have curls like yours. :flowerforyou:
  • I would adore having curly hair...tried everything to get sexy curls but even a perm falls out after a week - ten days :(

    You all look beautiful with your curls!

    I don't have curly hair but my daughter does. I do not ever want her to straighten her hair and I have decided that until she is 18 she cannot put any chemicals in her hair. Curly hair is beautiful!!

    I have the opposite experience. I have very fine, super straight hair that does not hold a curl. I've done perms and tried all kinds of products.
    Anytime I have gone through the trouble of curling my hair (in high school I would tie my hair in rags while wet) I got tons of comments on how much better i looked with curly hair. Even my high school crush said this to me, which broke my heart. It just isn worth all the work to curl it to have it fall out in a couple of hours, although I still do it occasionally just for fun because I love it so much.

    I've always wanted curly hair.

    I have long, curly hair. Depending on my mood, I will straighten, do big curls, put it up, or just let it go all crazy. Depending on my mood, I feel sexy, funny, smart or sweet. Any of those moods can match any hair day - It all just depends, so I say curly hair can be as sexy as YOU want it to be.

    Got told by a guy when my hair is curly, it reminded him of sexy "bedroom" hair. :p

    You have gorgeous hair! My best friend has hair like yours, so jealous. My hair is naturally very wavy, just happy that it is not straight because I like the volume of curls and waves.

    It's difficult to wear curly hair straight without using a lot of damaging heat or chemicals. Plus, haircuts for curly hair cut dry don't always look good when the hair is straightened.

    Curly hair usually isn't thought of as un-sexy, it's actually often OVER-sexualized and/or described as messy and unprofessional lookng.
  • Ohhh I love curly hair, it's totally sexy! My hair is naturally straight but I scrunch it as curly as I can most days, my husband loves it that way. I wish I had curly hair naturally, my sister does. Everyone has their own opinions of course so I guess some men may not like it but just as many men also do. For example my husband, my dad, most of my male friends. But you know what girl? You should flaunt your beautiful curls no matter what anyone says anyway and just know that there are a ton of people out there that think they're sexy, myself included!

  • I feel I am treated better when my hair is straightened, found to be more attractive. Taken more seriously. I am attracted to white men, and I get more looks from them when my hair is straight.

    I am told my curly hair makes me look 'fun', cute, open. I am not told it makes me look sexy or seductive.

    I'm not curly haired, have naturally straight hair, but I looked at your profile. YOU have GORGEOUS hair!!! And men are crazy not to think your sexy. I get told I'm cute, but not usually sexy... I get it, just it happens that I look like a "cute pixie"... lol... but I have to embrace it, its who I am and I wouldn't change it for anything.

    BTW, you're lucky you can change your look like that. I can't really curl my hair, it doesn't stay. The men who can't appreciate the beauty that you have naturally are just stupid and not worth your time!
