girl with a curl

Once upon a time, there was a girl with stick straight hair. Then she turned 19,
and it started kinking, waving and dare I say it - curling. Gah! What to do?
Must straighten, straighten, straighten. Flat irons, blow dryers, serums - all
designed to beat the Chicago heat and humidity. Result: lengthy morning
sessions in the bathroom and hair that was fried around the edges.
Ten years later, I've embraced my curly hair -- and with gusto. Ignore the picture
above; most days I do in fact wear my hair curly. It certainly helps that I work for
MODERN, where I'm surrounded by images of cool curl girls. There are also so
many companies now that offer products to make natural texture look its best.
I'm a huge curly fan and I'm fully on board with the idea of people loving the hair
they have.
I'm also the recipient of most of the curly hair products that come into the office
-- and of course, I'm always willing to try them out. Recently a new line crossed
my desk: Mixed Chicks. Created by two women, Kim Etheredge and Wendi Levy,
who couldn't find the right blend of products to control and style their curls, the
line is simple (only six products), smells delicious and leaves hair bouncy. I'm
particularly a fan of the conditioner, a leave-in that moisturizes well without
weighing my hair down -- a problem I've had before with leave-ins. I also love
Hair Silk, a non-greasy serum that I use when I wear my hair curly as well as when
I occasionally straighten it (see above). For curly guys, the line features a
shampoo and conditioner called HIS Mix.
