Just Going With It.

Sorry about the first picture. But yes! A before and after. ^-^
Have curls? Attack them with a straightener? Why waste your money and time when you can appreciate the hair you were born with and draw admiring looks at the same time?
I'd heat-styled my hair for a good three to four years, and it just wasn't cricket when the Southern heat would ambush the locks, bringing it to an awkward wave.
So a couple months ago the straight look began to bum out my roots, fray the ends and dull the natural red colour; I gave up. When I vowed never to straighten my hair again, for a while I kind of thought it meant the end because straightening it was such a routine habit! Yeah, it's just hair. But in doing that, it's almost impossible to believe the time it freed up for me.
I didn't even have to blow-dry my hair to get the look I'd kind of wanted for my hair, I just needed a good product, duh! :D And this was just about when Pantene was coming out with their series of shampoos by hair-type. And voila! I'm awesome. :D
I kid. But not about the hair. I've gotten more compliments and much more confidence.
