Consider yourselves lucky if you have straight OR curly hair. I used to have board straight hair, but when I cut it VERY short after a bad break up, it grew back part curly, part wavy, part straight and ALL irritating. I have to spend time on it every morning, which really sucks, since all I used to have to do was wash, dry and brush.
My hair isn't long enough to put up without falling, so I have no idea what I'll do with my hair when rush rolls around. At least everything is inside for us!
