The Curly Fashionista explains the perks of dating a fellow curly
As a curly single, I am always faced with the ever-present question when going out with friends or going on a first date: To straighten, or not to straighten? Forget Shakespeare—this is the real question.
I go back and forth with this almost every weekend. I love to wear my hear in its naturally curly state most of the time, and I want to make sure that if I meet a guy that I am not fooling him with a straight ‘do. I want him to like me for me. This must be why I am automatically drawn to curly men. So in the spirit of (the cursed) Valentine’s Day, I have compiled a list of why you should date another curly. As the oh-so-curly co-founder of NaturallyCurly.com would put it, CURL POWER!
1. Product
I dated my first curly guy in high school and found out that more than a few times, I would forget my hair product for my after-practice shower (I was a cheerleader—don’t hold that against me). It came in very handy to have a boyfriend who kept a giant bottle of product in his gym locker. Granted, it was the cheapest, biggest bottle he could find, it was still better than walking around with frizz-head all day.

i love this post. Its always wonderful being with someone in which you share so many things even the little things like hair. I’m not only dating another curly but I’m married to one with a beautiful curly daughter.

I too am married to a naturally curly haired guy and I love it. Although he keeps it short(ish), he would never razor it off as his hair is his crowning glory as it should be. Curly/wavy guys rock!

This was entertaining. As a curly-headed guy, I really enjoyed hearing this perspective. …and it’s generally true.
