I have naturally curly hair. Mine's the opposite of some here, though. The shorter it goes, the curler it tends to get. Less weight, I guess.

I use Redken Color Extend shampoo and Redken All Soft conditioner. For styling, I use Dove curl mouse and the new L'Oreal Curl spray gel. I've never liked spray gels because they usually caused frizz for me, but when they discontinued my L'Oreal Lasting Curls gel, I gave the spray gel a shot... and I love it!! It's great for reviving curls for an evening out as well.

I also used the Pantene curl defining mousse. It works well, also.

I am probably in the minority as far as wanting straight hair. I love my curly hair and have no desire to straighten it. I'm thrilled with the curlies God gave me!
