" I have a confession to make: I hate talking about my hair. Well, I take that back: I hate it when people comment about how much better my hair would look straight. That very conversation happens every time I go to the salon. &amp;quot;Oh wow, you have a lot of curly, curly hair,&amp;quot; the stylist says. &amp;quot;Yeah, everyone in my family has really curly hair,&amp;quot; I reply. &amp;quot;You know, we offer this super awesome hair straightening treatment\u2026&amp;quot; And then I nicely stop her\u2014not interested. I&amp;#039;ve spent the majority of my life fighting with my hair: I spent 60 minutes straightening it every morning during junior high and high school. I was told that my big mess of hair wasn&amp;#039;t okay\u2014that my &amp;quot;ramen noodle and poodle&amp;quot; curls weren&amp;#039;t attractive and no guy would ever love them. A ridiculous argument, because what&amp;#039;s hotter than big, sexy curls? Nothing, that&amp;#039;s what. But, then something weird happened during college: I learned to accept my curls. There&amp;#039;s something very freeing about having an untamed head of curls, even if humidity and rain can take a good hair day to a bad one in an instant. And I&amp;#039;m not alone in feeling that way: More and more salons\u2014like the popular Devachan Salon in NYC\u2014cater specifically to curly hair. So, no: I don&amp;#039;t want you to straighten my hair now\u2026 or ever. The majority of people\u201465 percent, according to NaturallyCurly.com\u2014have naturally wavy or curly hair.  Why are we fighting against nature?  Just stop. I promise you&amp;#039;ll learn to love your curl, girl. (And heck, you&amp;#039;ll save a lot of time not blowing it out, too.) Want more from Meagan?
