Agree - long curly hair doesn't have to be unruly. I worked with a woman who had long thick hair very much like mine. She washed and dried it and finished it with a curling iron so it was pretty perfect. I don't have that much skill or patience so mine isn't that refined.

I agree with your first statement, but I do take exception to the phrase, "long and unruly" - curls can be long and not unruly, and they can be short and wild. Let's remember that length is not a condition of how kempt, or unkempt, one's hair is, just as curly or straight is not.
