Curly or Straight

Okay, this may not be a big issue for men, or some women, but, this is an issue for me.  Do I look better with curly or straight hair.  See, for years I got a perm twice a year to straighten my hair.  But after getting sicker and sicker, and my body being pumped with seriously dangerous and toxic medications I decided I ought not add to the mayhem and go natural.  Now, that being said, curly or straight.  My hubby is all for the straight, sleek and smooth.  Now, for people who don't understand, when having natural hair a straight, sleek and smooth look is by using a straightening comb and flat iron.  It sounds easy, but doing it yourself, not so much.  


Now, the curly look for me is easier.  I have a VERY difficult time in doing my own hair and hate bothering my sister in law who is an expert, so curly it is.  Curly just means I wash, oil, braid and roll. Voila! Curly do.  Now, here's the ruse.  My family is torn between curly and straight.  Like I said, hubby likes it sleek and straight so people can see the length of my hair.  My daughter says I look younger with the curly do, and my son, God bless him, whatever Mom does is cool.  

Well, anybody with natural hair knows it is much easier to have smooth, sleek, straight hair in autumn and winter.  You know why? Little or no humidity!  What I can't get through to my hubby is that keeping my hair sleek and smooth is REALLY difficult and I am afraid that keeping constant daily heat is not healthy for my hair and is damaging.  But, he still likes it straight.  But, today, it's curly.


See, MS is serious, but I can still focus on totally vain things, like hair.  Well, to make my hubby happy, I will call my sister in law, who works her magic and get my hair "done".  Then I will struggle to keep it straight and hopefully get some tips from her to at least keep it to a low roar. Wish me luck.  But, what do you think...curly or straight?
