Introduction
 
Locks To Talk About
 

A lot has changed in the world of curls since the first version of
Curly Girl
came out ten years ago. For so many years, ringlets, corkscrews, and waves were the ugly ducklings of the hair world, viewed as a symptom to be treated, an aberration to be tamed, rather than a part of nature. When you’d go to the hairdresser, there was an “obviously, you don’t want those curls” attitude and an expectation that you should be grateful to your stylist for blow-drying your hair straight after a cut. In fact, at a recent hair convention, a hairdresser came over to me and said, “If you let me blow-dry your hair, you’ll fall in love with me.” (Hardly!)

Straighten your hair, and you might be happy for a day. Learn to love and care for your curls, and you’ll be happy for life!
 

Despite the strides many curly girls have made to accept and understand their curls, the hairdresser’s comment is typical of the hair community’s mentality and evidence that straight hair still rules. Here are some revealing facts and stats: Flat irons are the top-selling item in the hair care industry. At one point, a transatlantic airline offered these appliances to passengers so they could straighten their strands before landing (while the rest of us in the plane had to endure the smell of burning hair). The number one service in salons
worldwide is blow-drying (which I call blow-
frying
because of its damage to your hair), and an amazing $9 billion–plus worth of hair-straightening products are sold annually. Recently a well-known hair product company boasted about creating a pill that claims to change your DNA to straighten your curls. (Can’t you just imagine the future news story: “Woman has symptoms of paralysis, temporary blindness, and slurred speech, but she’s happy that her hair is finally straight!”)
