Awesome job on this! I have naturally curly hair too and have been through the same ups and downs! I'm glad you've embraced it because it is so beautiful to see longgggg naturally curly hair!
Even though now, in September 2008, at the age of 21, I love having curly hair, have grown it past my waist and frequently wear it loose, I absolutely hated it when I was younger. Although, to be fair, perhaps at the age I am in this photo (which I'm estimating to be no older than 2 or 3) I hadn't noticed it yet! Being adopted, I am the only one in my immediate family with hair like this, which definitely made it harder growing up, since i stood out a lot more than a kid from a whole family of curly haired people would have. Then came the straightening stage. Amazing! I could iron my hair flat and the dreaded curly would be fried into submission. I don't know exactly how old I was when I eventually got over myself and accepted my hair the way it is, but I do know that I hope I have curly haired children, who will definitely be discouraged from straightening!
