Curly or straight?

I’m curious. A lot of women straighten their naturally curly hair because they think that’s what is attractive. I used to hate my curls and did this all the time. What do y’all prefer?

Everyone has different taste and different styles look better on certain people. I tend to find loose/wavy/curly hair a little more sexier than pin straight but that's not to say I dislike it in anyway.
My sister has curly hair and she HATEs it because of how frizzy and the up keep, also it makes her face look fat 🤷🏻♂️.
does she think it makes her face look fat or do you? sorry not clear on the latter part

My sister doesn't give 2 sh*ts what I think 😋. She's always hated her curls especially in the summer humid months.
i hope she finds the right product but i feel her pain! and thanks for clarifying.

Tell her to try the curly girl method. It has worked wonders for my curls! I used to hate mine but I’m fully embracing it now! 😁1 -

You're my dear are the gorgeous one but thank you!🤗❤0 -
Firstly, the OP would be gorgeous bald.
Personally, with pin straight hair, I spent decades curling it with hot rollers or irons... that grass is greener syndrome. Now, I just embrace straight... I occasionally curl it into soft waves. I have no preference. I've known women with all sorts of wave patterns or none & they all look beautiful.
Hair's an accessory. Straighten or curl it at your will. Said as a former hairdresser... healthy hair is beautiful, regardless of curl pattern. Do both... whatever you feel. They're all pretty.2 -

And you lovely are the bestest homegirl ever!!🤗💕💕💕0 -
I think both are great. I have only a little bit of natural wave in my hair and have started playing it up as much as I can, about half the time. I coil a couple top pieces in spirals in clips after my shower and it gives the illusion of a lot more wave. The rest of the time I straighten my hair which is easy since it's fairly straight. I would love to have big springy curls like yours, OP!0

I think life would be boring if we all looked the same. A lot of the young women at work wear exactly the same hairstyle and they look like they all popped out of a factory.
The OP's hair is gorgeous, very striking! I say rock those curls!
My hair is baby fine with a bit of wave that unfortunately gets frizzy because of its fine texture. I lose about 50% of its volume if I straighten it, which leaves me looking like I don't have much hair at all. Any frizz-control products just weigh it down. I've learned to let it air dry and not to waste time fighting it because whatever look I achieve will be gone by noon.2 -
OP your hair is gorgeous!
I used to have thickish wavy hair, now its thinner but curly. I feel all of you about the frizz factor, and the unpredictability of how your curls will "behave".
I try to "tame" mine into a smooth wave by spiraling it into ringlet pigtails to dry lately. It gives a really nice soft wave, and its smooth feeling - highly recommend you curly, wavy ladies try - no heat needed, and a smooth, "controlled" result.
I like my natural curls - when they look good, but it means hours of undisturbed drying time and I don't have that time on work days. Also jackets, hoodies, wind = "bad hair day" for my curls if air drying.
I sometimes straighten my hair because I'll have a "predictable" result. And I often get complimented when I do - makes me feel like I look like hell all the rest of the time!0 -
My children have super curly hair which is the main reason why I've grown their hair out! I hope they never straighten it but yeah you're right, most people I know with curly hair straighten it!
I have a proper afro - I stopped using chemicals to straighten it 5 years ago so it's a full on 4c hair now. It's a pain but the curls are here to stay!0 -
Love the hair in your profile! Keep it! Embrace it! It’s beautiful!0

I think your curly hair looks fantastic. 😊0

Definitely. In the early 2000s I wore a pixie cut and 90% of my friends and coworkers had angled bobs with side bangs. Most had highlights too. Nothing wrong with that but man they all had identical hair!

I love curls!! I always wanted more curls to my hair, and unfortunately can’t figure out how to properly work a curling iron to save my life lol0

I have very curly hair and just recently have embraced my hair as it is naturally. A few times a month, I'll have it styled just so.i don't have to mess with it for several days.
At 61 years old, I've started dating again, the guys all show a strong preference to the curls.1
