Almost every day, someone asks if I ever flat iron my hair. I say, 'No, because I'm afraid it wouldn't look good and wouldn't come back curly.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My hair is very straight - people always think that I've ironed it when I get to set.
My hair is naturally curly, and in the 80's, even though I experimented with different lengths, I generally wore it curly. Since then, I've learned how to use a blow dryer and flat iron.
For years I used to try to straighten my hair, but I've reached a stage where I think, 'I've got red curly hair, and it's actually really great.'
I love wearing my hair curly, but turning the curling iron all the way up creates curls that look really made up and artificial.
I'm actually so low maintenance when it comes to my hair. It's naturally stick-straight, but I do like to use a curling iron to give my locks some life.
I used to be very insecure about my curly hair, because I lived in a country where everybody had blonde straight hair.
Someone once asked me, 'How long does it take to do your hair.' I said, 'I don't know, I'm never there.'
When I was a young girl, I wasn't always trying to have curly hair.
I have very curly hair and I straighten it every day - it takes maybe two minutes. I can't imagine anyone having a bigger challenge than I do in the kinkiness that is my crazy 'fro.'
People bring up my hair quite a bit. It's strategically tousled. The flatiron is the key.
