is there a site for naturally straight hair like naturallycurly.com?

I don't have naturally straight hair; just curious.

[Barniie]

That would be cool!

(Sorry, no helpful advice here :))

Well the web is world wide so there should be one out there. There needs to be a naturallywavy.com too! :)

Naturally curly has a forum for the naturally wavies out there!!

I bet theres one out there for naturally straight hair out there.

what is so cool about naturallycurly anyways? I am registered there but I don't get all the fun. I read their articles and they were no good as for forums I didn't have time to check it out but it didn't look too good to me either.

Well, it's fun for me somewhat; I do use some of the tips there, and some have actually helped. I cut out cones, and it's made a big difference.

All the good info is in the Forums and they are pretty active - the main one anyway.

I agree that the rest of the site is a bit dull and overly commercialised

I look at naturallycurly from time to time just to see if there's any new product I should try that's getting rave reviews.

Otherwise, I don't bother with it.

I'd be curious about a straight hair site as well. But(maybe this is my curly hair talking) do people with straight hair have the same types of problems that people with curly hair do? I'm only asking because I think the curly hair sites(naturallycurly, tightly curly, etc.) were born out of frustration of those with curly hair 1)not knowing what to do with their hair -and- 2)wanting to embrace their curly hair as opposed to trying to make it straight which seems to be what's expected of everyone regardless of their race or hair type.

[TealDolphin]

Yeah, that's a good point.

Maybe I am just biased by not having straight hair but it seems to me *most* of the world is geared for those with straight hair anyway - or who plan to make their curls straighter by flat ironing. Like I said though, I've never had it . . .

Advice for straight hair care tends to be the mainstream, I think. There is a whole regimen that many curlies use which have elements that straight-haired people don't ever have to consider. Think about how ubiquitous brushing is, yet many if not most curly haired people can't brush their hair either wet or dry.

As someone with zero body whatsoever (in her hair, that is!), it always seemed to me like 'most' of the world was geared for those with medium texture and a body wave that can either pouf, go straight, or hold a curl. I have given up on any magazines every giving me any useful advice for my straight hair type - especially for updos. I'm never going to look like a wedgie-conehead in a french twist. I'll never get that swooping wedgie, coney look, if you know what I mean :p. I have found the threads specifically for straight & fine hair here on LHC to be both comforting and useful! Although most of the time it seems like we agree there's not much we can do to fight flatness, greasiness, thin ends, not holding a curl...etc...

It's convenient for me now that pin straight hair is in style - at least in the USA. But believe me, during the 80s, being a flat-hair was pure hell.
