Is curly hair back in style?

in Hall of Fame
I heard a very refreshing comment today and I'm interested in your thoughts. While I was working today, a black woman with a gorgeous head of shoulder length curls. She was standing right next to me. I could not resist. I said, "I really love your hair." She gushed right back,"Aw well, thank you." I went on to give my usual explanation, "Since I have curly hair, I like to spread the love to those that have it as well." She replied, "You either love it or hate it." I added that my turning point came when I reached my mid-30s seeing other guys lose theirs. She then added, "Curly hair is back in style."
I have no way to quantify it but if so I'm honored to be part of it. Do you find it to be "back in style?"

She was probably trying to just shoot the breeze with you, meaning she wanted to say something to promote curls without meaning anything else by it, or she menat the natural hair movement.
If I had to really analyze that statement, I'd disagree. There has never been a better time for curly hair until now. Places of employment have really started to ditch their oppressive policies regarding looks and hair. There are more products now than ever before and there's more information out there than before about how to care for curly hair.
I don't think curly hair is too difficult to wash and maintain and at all. Once you know what you're doing, it's simple. There's a learning curve, sure, but once you get that down it's easy. Takes me less time to do my hair than it does my straight friends, who always blow-dry and straighten their hair after washing and in the mornings on second-day hair. Plus straight folks tend to wash their hair more often.

I don't think it's as in style as it could be, but I do think more people are embracing it than they were 10 years ago.

I don't necessarily think it's about being in style, but more about people just deciding to embrace their natural hair. I think in some way or another, curly hair has always been stylish. But now people are starting to see natural curls as pretty too, instead of just those done with a curling iron.
