[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone with naturally curly hair, I am so sad that women feel compelled to make every kid look like Jennifer Aniston. The number of movies that start with Anne Hathaway "ugly" with frizzy hair until she gets a completely unsustainably, wildly expensive Brazilian blowout just make me cry.

What's wrong with curly hair?[/quote]

As a curly haired person, even I fall for this. I love my curly hair... Until I get a blowout. We all know how beautifully curly hair blows out- so much volume and the perfect amount of curl at the ends. I will see myself and go oh, it's so pretty! Well it's an illusion. That's just not my hair and it's not sustainable to kill it daily pretending it is. So I enjoy it 2-3 times a year for the 3 days a blowout lasts and then go back to my curly hair. But the lure of luscious Pantene hair is real. [/quote]

Ok whoa, beautiful curly-haired ladies.  First, bottom PP, the lure of luscious Pantene hair may be real, but that is NOT her real hair in that ad...look how many strands of hair are in hair magazine ads, and try to follow one from head to end...impossible because it's not her hair--there are too many hairs per square inch.  This is hair added to the model.

Remember Lucy Lawless in Xena, Warrior Princess?  Google image search her.  Pounds and pounds of Spanish hair added to her head.

Ok, so I'm a white woman with really straight hair; can't get it to hold a curl unless I dowse it with tons of spray or have a perm.  I wish I had some curl because it softens a person's face.  And even though my hair is shiny, if I get a blowout my straight hair is prettier than natuarally straight hair.

Well, I suppose we all want what we don't have.  But back to the teenagers...[/quote]

PP here. Logically I know this. I even slapped down the mom trying to make her daughter feel ugly for not straightening. I wear mine curly 99% of the time because I have a curly haired daughter who I want to love her own hair. But still, those blowouts look amazing and I have to remind myself THIS ISN'T HOW YOUR HAIR REALLY LOOKS![/quote]
