NC: What are your favorite hairstyles to wear with your curls?
PG: My hair is ultra-fine, so layers look best. I am sporting a shoulder-length bob at the moment.
NC: What about your hair stylists?
PG: My stylist is great. She understands that my hair will shrink quite a bit. It seems to spring to life after some of the weight is removed, and she knows the perfect length for my bangs.
NC: Does having curly hair affect your everyday life?
PG: People with curly hair are sometimes labeled “cute.” I felt I had to work hard to be taken seriously by my friends and family. I have to admit that, every now and then, I will blow it dry for smoothness, especially on a date night with my husband (although he loves it curly”>. When I do straighten it, my favorite product is Joico smoothing balm. It has an incredible fragrance and tiny gold specs that sparkle in the sunlight.
NC: What would you tell others to encourage them to embrace their curls?
PG: I am grateful for my curls. I remember lots of friends who paid a great deal of money for a perm, but my wash-and-go hair is easy to care for and manage.
