Green Monster Time!!! (do you read the Bearenstein Bears books?)
CURLY! I'd have given ANYTHING to have had naturally curly hair.
Mine? A friend of a friend was a hair dresser, and we happened to be visiting the same friend at the same time. And I didn't know she was a hair dresser, but I was complaining about my hair. She asked, maybe, 10 questions, and then said... don't ever try to get a perm on your hair. It won't take well, and will cause major damage due to the type of hair you have.
And then she said...
"Learn to love the hair you have."
Mine is board straight, no matter the weather - hot, cold, humid, dry...
It won't curl. Well... maybe if I did it like Hindu priests in India, it might stay. (you will have to look that up for yourself).
It is also VERY fine. Breaks easily, splits easily.
And I have a LOT of hair. A lot of board straight very fine hair.
So I have learned to accept that. I wear ONE hair style, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year. I rarely have a bad hair day. Hair, like children, does best with consistency 
I have changed styles once in a while. I am going to have to do that again soon, to accommodate a change in activity level. When I change... it will be to a new style that works, 7 days a week, 365 days of the year.
