Of course, to COPE, it must be straightened

 From a prominent web site August 2006:

“Your hair is like a special fabric. Treat it gently. Shampoo frequently and follow up with a light conditioner applied from mid-length to the ends of your hair. Always use products formulated to cope with your hair type such as John Frieda’s Frizz-ease range. Use a large natural bristle round brush to straighten hair but avoid styling your hair too poker straight as that will accentuate its fineness. The best way to gain some body is to let your hair take on its natural bend.”
