Hi curlygirl22

firstly congratulations and here to a happy healthy little addition.

I have what I would call fairly wavy hair and I straighten it because if I leave it I look rather like I have stuck my hand in a plug socket, I would prefer to have tighter curls then maybe I could just wash it and leave it, nevermind the damage the straignteners are probably doing, though I do use spray protectors but those irons get so hot.

I have two daughters who are both redheads like me and one is dead straight and the other is wavy but a bit wavier than me and they both want what the other has, I guess we should all learn to be satisfied with ourselves and not be swayed by magazines that tell us we should be something different. As one of you ladies said, at least we are not bald.

As for a pill, like a lot of you have said, what potential damage could it do to us. At least even if we singe our hair straightening it we can get it fixed............
