Wait, wait, wait, what is all this anti-curlism nonsense?? If you've got curly hair, love it, revel in it, get a cut that shows it off!!
I was a miserable, always-trying-to-straighten my hair girl until I finally got smart and decided to work with what I've got instead of fighting it all the time. WAY easier and less time-consuming.
Get yourself a copy of "Curly Girl: The Handbook." "Amazon.com: Curly Girl: The Handbook (9780761156789): Lorraine Massey, Michele Bender: Books"
The main thing she points out is that a good haircut is absolutely essential.
Products I personally like: John Frieda Collection, Frizz-Ease Hair Serum and Frizz-Ease Dream Curls Curl-Perfecting Spray.
The serum really cuts down the frizz, even in North Carolina heat and humidity, and the spray brings out nice, un-frizzy waves.
A Bedhead product called "Superstar" (comes in a purple-ish, curvy bottle) is good too, for volume. Works well if you want to blow-dry your hair with a round brush for shaping.
Don't bother with a flat iron at all, is my advice. It won't work for long, it takes way too much time, and the minute any humidity hits your hair, zzzzt, here comes the frizz again, anyway. Forget about it and love yourself the way you are!
Just a bit of advice from one curly-head to another.
Same thing with being Deaf.... Fight it, you get somewhere but not for long. Cherish it, you will live easier.
