Your thoughts on a variety of subjects over the past year.

Written by NaturallyCurly on Nov 23, 2009

We hear you! Since January, we’ve asked you a lot of questions on our home-page polls, and your responses have been enlightening. We discovered that you’re mostly loyal to one stylist, but some of you do switch around. We found that most of you like your man’s curls short and controlled, but that some of you crazy curlies like your guy’s hair long and wild. Sixty-one of you prefer Julia Roberts’ hair in “Pretty Woman” to the ‘dos she sported in other films. In short, we curlies are opinionated, and we thought you might like to see what you had to say over the hear on a variety of topic. Enjoy, and weigh in below in the comments section if you just can’t believe what you’re seeing!
