So after being beaten down by my co-worker's anti-curly comments last week, as I was leaving the dentist's office the other day, one of the technicians said, "Wow - your hair is so pretty."

Sometimes, we get those wonderful compliments just when we need them the most.

Still, all the curly-bashing comments I've been reading are just shocking, and totally un-called for. Thankfully we've got nc.com for support.

Uh, yeah, they can MAKE it curly with hours in rollers, a hot curling iron and gallon after gallon of hairspray. What a moron.

ETA: The above is from my straight haired friends' experiences. ("And it STILL didn't stay long! Ugh") Straighties rant too.

[quote="curlytwirly"]this is the reason why i rarely straighten my hair. i know that there will be at least one person who will tell me, "oh my god your hair looks so much better straight, you should keep it straight[quote]
