I`m 21 and have long (mid to lower back) dark brown hair, fairly thick but soft, and mostly straight (a little bit of wave). I don`t really want to cut it but I`d like to do something different with it...I kind of want it to be both hip and romantic, but don`t have any idea how to get that. I`ve thought about maybe curling or highlighting but wanted to get some other opinions... Is it better to just do temp curls or perm, which I know damages the hair? Is long, curly/wavy hair even "in" anymore? Not that that it makes *that* much of a difference or anything, but it is nice to know what`s the trend. Any other ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

You can tie your hair in rags and get really great curls without damage to your hair. Karen has a nice article on the procedure: http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip049.htm - http://www.hairboutique.com/tips/tip049.htm Marci`s Retro Style also has a nice discussion of rag curlers as a setting technique: http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/2457/ - http://www.geocities.com/Wellesley/2457/ Hair your length can be braided and look terrific. One of the best sites with examples and directions is the Dreamweaver: http://www.dreamweaverbraiding.com/ - http://www.dreamweaverbraiding.com/ Another excellent one is Crowning Glory braids: http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~klsabin/braids.html - http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/~klsabin/braids.html I suggest you try these first before resorting to chemicals. Let us know what you decide to do and how it works for you. Good luck! ;) ------------- Merlin
