There are curly hair photos, and there are hot photos of curly hair.
Take a Brazilian model with curly hair who's well aware of her charms and how to take advantage of them, put her in photos, and curly hair styles take on a whole new meaning.
The air suddenly gets very warm.
These pictures are not just photos of a girl with a curly hair style.
They're pictures of supermodel Adriana Lima.
Most were designed and created specifically to sell lingerie to women who want to look sexy.
These are carefully crafted images of seduction.
The steaminess of those photos is a given. It's part of the brief, and this girl from Brazil knows how to do steamy. It's in her blood.
But not every one of these curly hair pictures is a posed, catalog image. Not every hair style is artfully, knowingly used.
Three photos were taken back stage before a fashion show. There's no audience. Just the camera, and unseen, the other models and a whirl of frantic activity.
Backstage at a fashion show is like a pit-stop in the Formula One Grand Prix. Technicians swarm around the models swapping parts, adjusting, tightening. And a photographer wanders in the chaos, snapping photos.
Two of these unposed, back stage pictures are among the hottest curly hair photos on the page.
These photos reveal the essence of this girl, and what it is that's brought her to this place in her career.
As she turns to look over her shoulder, waves of curly hair surge down the smooth, naked skin of her back.
And those green eyes find the camera.
Something passes between them.
They say that Marilyn Monroe had a language of looks that was part of her secret love affair with the camera. Her looks and hair style were famous but she was more than that. Her knowledge ran deep.
That's how it is with the girl in these photos. Cameras love her, and she responds automatically to their gaze.
Seduction is as effortless as blinking, as natural as having curly hair.
But there's another side to this beautiful girl.
And that different side can be seen in only one of these photos, where she smiles as she looks up at someone behind her.
Dark, medium style curly hair frames her face which, admittedly, has had the attention of the fashion industry's make up professionals.
But the light in her eyes is all her own and the smile, like her curly hair cut, is as natural as it is delightful.
Yes, she's part of the beauty industry with all its homage to glamour.
But there's a sense of joy in this curly hair photo that expresses something fundamental about the nature of beauty.
Not the air brushed, touched up, wishful thinking of celebrities whose glamour is as genuine as their eternal youth, and whose ever-changing hair styles are a desperate grab for identity when they've lost their own.
This photo has the innocence of beauty. Its unconscious charm rather than its seductive power. Its warmth. Its affection and friendship. The joy that youthfulness and vitality express as beauty.
It's all so fleeting. Gone in the blink of an eye, with just a few photos to mark its existence.
These curly hair photos show more than just hair styles. They show the two sides of natural beauty. Innocent joy and its manipulative, seductive alter ego.
There are curly hair photos, and there are hot photos of curly hair.
And there are curly hair photos that leave you with a sense of having almost touched something intangible.
