Complicated curls?

Hello artistic people!
Just recently, I had my hair cut quite short. For a long time, I had long hair- that easily looked good and framed my face nicely. There is only so long I can go for before I am screaming for a change though. So... I go to the hair dresser, I told her to take quite a bit off, layer it, and fix my bangs. Haha She did a good job, but I was in shock. I was constantly asking myself how I was going to be able to keep up with it. I have naturally straight hair, but it still has a mind of its own. It goes all over the place. So, right after the trip to the hair dresser I came home and got out my straight iron.
For at least the last 3 years I have only used a straight iron to curl my hair. For everyone who knows how to do that, you know how awesome it is. The curls stay in for a very long time without ever using hair spray, it is faster, and you can achieve much tighter curls. For everyone who has no idea what I am talking about, I will explain. To curl your hair with a straight iron, you take your hair between the 2 irons, clamp it tight, twirl it around once, and pull through. In a future post I will make a step by step guide.
I like my hair curled. I have always loved the classy look of it. Now, with my hair short- I can curl it very fast. A bonus to the length =)
To keep my hair under control, make the curling easier, prevent static, and keep my hair from burning, I use Sunsilk daring volume cream. I had received this cream as a bonus product, but it quickly became one of my favorite hair products. It is nice and simple. It is not sticky, and it does not add extra oil to the hair. It is also very versatile. It can be used for many different purposes.
So, next time you are looking for a change, be willing to take a big risk. You might find it a lot of fun.
