Ummm you just think that. But you wouldn’t like being told your hair is unhealthy because it’s not as shiny, or “too frizzy” or “unkempt” which is what most of us with actual curly hair get on a daily basis from childhood
I love my curls. I even wear a curly fro sometimes. It's just my hair. Relaxing and straightening destroyed my hair so I went natural right around the time African American content tutorials on big chops and how to go natural was trending. I'm glad I did it's much healthier and easier to style now.

Nothing I find sexier than a woman with big gorgeous curly hair, honestly, I never thought they looked bad, nor did any of my girls, we are all actually super jealous of our curly girl gang 😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
Same, I used to be pretty much the only girl who didn't flat iron their hair in my high school (due to laziness lol) and I got a lot of pressure to straighten it and even wanted to get it permed at one point but I love it now.
It’s so funny to me that in the 80s and 90s, men found big, curly hair super sexy… but now it’s not “trendy” so it’s a turn off somehow 🙄🤷♀️😂 I have naturally curly hair but it’s been straightened - heat tools and/or chemical straightening - since I was about 14 (I’m 31). I still straighten it purely because it’s easier to manage HOWEVER, over lockdown I did my best to bring out what’s left of the curl pattern. The response was polar opposites lol. Women LOVED it and wanted me to keep it. All the men in my life (and judging by social media reaction too) hated it 🙄😂🤦🏼♀️ It’s just more proof that what we find sexy and attractive is absolutely decided by trends: we’re told what to like 🤦🏼♀️
I agree we should bring it back, and I really like that look on some of those women, such as Nicole Kidman. But I think the way it should be done is for those who influence and shape the way we see beauty as a culture to feature a variety of different natural hair types. It's fun to do a drastically different kind of look with your hair if you want to. It's different when it feels like you have to in order to be accepted. Also, it's very damaging to your hair to go through perming or straightening. To get it done right without destroying your hair is very expensive. For example, in the 1990s, there was a kind of perm called a spiral perm. Even then, it cost easily $500 if you had a decently long, thick head of hair. So, it becomes a class issue as well. The amount of time those with the unfavored hair types have to spend to get themselves looking like whatever is the accepted way to look at that moment is itself a problem. The chemicals needed and damage to the environment are a problem as well.
Me as a 35 year old who got “that perm” at 11 in the 90s for that $500. Little did me OR my parents even realize I have shakira like curls already!!!😂😩 I was just taught to brush brush brush and heat damage!🥹😩🤦🏻♀️
I didn't want to go there but I hope this opened many people eyes. This discrimination with being forced to straighten your hair is not new to certain cultures. 😒
Yes because I definitely said "Yea y'all know exactly WHY whatchu mean" but I guess I realized that a lot of people really don't know why or where it came from and that's even more sad.
My best friend’s hair is naturally like this and we cannot go to a single place without someone telling her how beautiful her hair is. It’s so funny to me at this point because it’s truly just unavoidable
Happens to me almost every day. It’s funny, because I was born in the 1970’s and everyone had stick straight hair. I hated my hair then, but I love it now.
Whether you bring it back or not. We are curly girls and we love our hair. I've made it straight twice but I missed my curls and was so happy when I got them back
It’s romantic except that it takes actual work to make it look “nice” enough that straight hair people don’t say we look like we just rolled out of bed (after spending an hour doing hair)
@@tacocat9844 Is she not pretty now that she's not young? Was she not pretty after she stopped having that perm? Because the person you're describing only lasted for 3 years.
@@LaTaeviaTanae they didn't do a lot about it, they just teased it a bit, gave it the care it deserved but never styled it in a way that makes it look better...
When I was in elementary I always thought that curly hair was viewed negatively, like people thought curly hair was ugly, so I would always put it in a ponytail and never loose; I had a lot of curly hair, but now I just embrace it and I'm loving it.
I think curly hair looks so free spirited, beautiful, and effortless (even though we KNOW it can take a lot of effort a lot of time). It’s glamorous in its own way. Def needs to make a comeback! ❤
I agree. As someone with extremely straight hair I've always been obsessed with the full volumous curl or the extreme beachy waves. I think it's absolutely gorgeous💗
i always hated that scene in the princess diaries where they depict her frizzy, curly hair as being an aspect of making her “ugly” for so many girls, that’s our natural hair type. it always made me feel bad about my hair. and even now when i get compliments on it, i just get told that it looks super 80’s esc… and “old fashioned.” like damn i just know the girlies are jealous… 😭
I also have wavy/curly hair (2c-3a) and I think it’s gross and weird to say other girls are jealous just if they’re rude to you. If girls are rude, ignore them. Girls support girls
Yo también odiaba esa escena porque me recordaba lo que mucha gente me hizo creer por años. La gente solía decirme, cuando era niña y adolescente, que mi cabello era feo. Incluso en la escuela una maestra y los prefectos me dijeron que debía recoger mi cabello porque se veía "desaliñado y sucio" (mi cabello no es muy común en donde vivo). Fue hasta la adultez que aprendí a amar mi cabello y ahora me gusta alentar a las niñas a ver lo bonito de su cabello rizado 😊
I hated my curly hair growing up. All the girls at school had straight hair. I started straightening mine to the point it was so damaged, fried and dead. I stopped straightening it to let it breathe on its own and grow out and started cutting my hair regularly. Now I love my curls more than ever and I use products made specifically for mixed hair. That’s one thing I love about those movies is all the big curly hair. I hope it makes a comeback.
As a curly girl myself I gotta agree that curly hair representation in the media needs to make a comeback. I genuinely think because of the 80’s-90’s movies it made me embrace my curls more. But in my generation you don’t really see ever or if you do it’s not natural curls it’s usually stylist taking a curling iron to the actresses hair to try to imitate the natural curly hair look.
I have this hair and it really sucks that I get told to straighten my hair, but you never see straight haired girls getting told to "curl" their hair. The pressure gets to you.
Yeah, I used to get perms in the 80's and even did it again in '00 when ridiculously straight hair was in. After chemotherapy now the lower-back part of my hair grows curly and straight on top and in the front. It's kind of ridiculous.
Don’t let them beat you down. Styles come and go. My hope is that as more people embrace their curly hair it will become “stylish” once again. Though I fear it may be far longer before it becomes ingrained as polished and professional.
I'm a poker straight haired girl and i've always hated not being born with curls,so i've been perming mine for the last 37 years and I love it,I don't follow fashion or hair trends,I just do me and what I want. You do you and wear your natural curls with pride.I love curly hair.
I literally have wavy hairs which tend to hold shapes naturally, if i dont comb they are curly if I comb they are wavy-straight.... Everyone literally tells me to straighten them and all my gfs have poker straight hairs so i do think about straightening them. I haven't done anything to them as I love my wavy hair but the peer pressure keeps on weighing
As someone who grew up in the 80s and has naturally curly-wavy hair, there are many reasons why it was popular then. Super straight hair was big in the 70s, and hair like fashion trends changes about every 7-10 years (faster now). Also, bc it was so popular at that time, alot of people who had curly hair had it bc of a perm, though not the actors portrayed here. Finally, particularly in the 90s, the natural hair and minimal makeup was in. Kindof like the (imo) WAY overdone makeup with 18 shades of contour are popular now. I do think embracing your natural hair has started to come back though.
We've come to eqaute silky, well-defined curls with healthy hair. But I've always loved big frizzy curls. 🤷 And it's not inherently less "healthy" than any other hair type.
exactly! or if you go into a store with your hair natural, you'll get the old "oh your hair is so dry, buy this conditioner" haha uhm I don't think so, but thanks for your judgement
In Hollywood for shot continuity, they have turned to wigs as it doesn't require as much restyling as hair does and it is easier to make it look the same in every take as opposed to natural hair that moves and reacts to set temperature/humidity/wind/heat damage
I saw Keri Russell for the first time in 2017 on “Honey, I Blew Up the Kid” and it took me no more than 2 seconds to decide to transition back to my curly hair! Her hair in that movie was gorgeoussss
Her hair in the 90s is the stuff of legend. I could never forget it. She was quite possibly one of the most beautiful girls on the planet at the time. I remember her vividly on The Mickey Mouse Club and The Baby-Sitter's Seduction!
Natasha Lyonne in Russian Doll, Alexandra Shipp in Tick, Tick, Boom…, and SZA go for it. As a curly girl, it’s definitely my favourite. It’s felt like the era of straight hair and slicked back high ponies has been going on for decades. I thought post-COVID, the rise of curl influencers and denman brushes, and people going for more stripped back and natural looks we would have seen more big romantic curls, but…
Girl I'm obsessed with Natasha Lyonne's hair in Russian Doll. The colour contrast with the black clothes, the puffyness, the big hair...gorgeous. It's quite sad when they make her wear straight hair or wavy hair at red carpets or interviews. She said that she hated her hair as a kid but she embraces it now that's why she made the character like that so...
I used to be envious of people with naturally straight hair, like my siblings. Now that I actually know how to take care of my hair, I learned to love the curls :)
Same! My Mom and all my childhood friends have straight hair and I always felt like an outsider in my own social circles. If natural curly hair came back into popularity, it would give me so much confidence, self-love, and acceptance! 🤗💕
Isn’t really in????? Look around 👀 so many mixed curly women on the streets, figuring out what product to choose out of a million curlyhairproducts these days 😂
@@a-tjek-tje8660 You can be glad you have lots of curly-hairproducts to choose between. I’ve lived in scandinavia the last two years and here the natural hairtype is blond to light brown mostly straight hair. I have very darkbrown more of a curly hairtype,but they do not have much products for that here😢🤷🏻♀️😊
I think if anything a ton more woman of color in media now with curly hair (black woman,latina, Iranian etc) are wearing it more natural where in the past they wouldn't. So this NGL is a surprise to me bc I've been noticing an uptick in curls. The white girls w curls often had them 'tamed' w curlers etc like Taylor swift felt like a breath of fresh air in my youth/preteendom. Lorde as well..Ilana glazer comes to mind when it comes to embracing curls, Kate berlant. As a Moroccan young woman who's always embraced her curls I've been seen an uptick in Moroccan society and culture where you see more girls n women without 'relaxed' hair
As someone who lived in the 80’s, I can tell you perms and body waves were the rage. My guess is that these actors did not have natural curly hair, but had perms.
Perms were really popular, a lot of them didn't have natural curls. I have noticed perms coming back, I think they have improved over time. I feel like almost every woman in her fifties has a perm horror story from the eighties. They used to look so bad for the first few weeks, until they relaxed a little, and then by the time you knew how to manage your new curls, they would start to grow out. I bleached my hair for like fifteen years, and recently grew out my natural color. I discovered I have really wavy hair when I'm not processing it to death, but I can't figure out how to manage it and make it look good so I always end up flatironing it
There are products specifically for wavy hair in that they're not too thick and heavy like tighter, drier curls would need. Definitely look on the internet, there's tons of good products for every hair type. But also figure out your hair type and find suggestions from there.
I permed my hair 3x in the late 80s early 90s..it still curls till now but not as curly as then more like wavy! I steer away from straight hair as it doesn't suit my face. You need to do what suits ur features not just follow trends as they come and go..
If I may. I would try a new hairstyle on more than one week end. When you know you won't have to leave the house and/or meet anyone. Depending on your texture, curls will have a life on their own. Mine are always in prison, on braids. They are allowed to be free three days before a shampoo week end.'Cause the braids give them a pattern that is more manageable. And I know I will have days ahead to detangle and taking care of whatever needs to be taking care of.
When I wear my natural wavy curly hair, I feel like a Greek princess. Growing up in the early 2000s, my friends always wanted to straighten my hair. It always looked like a lifeless wig floating around my head. My curls and waves, however dance around my face like they are happy to be there
@@shahidaabdulkhabeer1670 I agree, such a lovely (and accurate) description of curly hair! One thing i really dislike is if you have curly hair today, it has to be full of product and perfect with no frizz or fluff. But it takes HOURS and doesn't look natural! These women in the 80's would not have had to spend hours on their hair and tonnes of money on sticky product. (I personally HATE having product in my hair)
@@katyb2793 at that time we used to perm our hair. The weather was far better so I only used hair conditioner. My natural hair is wavy. Now I have to use lots of products to keep it in place.
This is my natural hair and it sucks when people ask me if I even brush my hair and that it looks like a rat’s nest even when I do my best to comb it out Edit: Thanks for all the tips guys 🫶
try following the curly girl method if you want to get definition! Doesn't have to be exact to the step but as a fellow curly haired girl who used to be told this all the time before I discovered the method, it's sooo helpful! Went from people calling it a birds nest to ppl asking me how I do it:))
Ironically, combing it out dry will only make it frizzier and more knotted. You gotta comb it wet and put in lots of product then leave it alone. It's so awful that ppl say this stuff, they used to say it to me as well and as a result I would always have frizzy hair and be so frustrated and annoyed bc my hair was just untamable. Turns out, it is very different to straight hair and you gotta stop listening to ppl and do your research instead bc quite frankly, most straight haired ppl don't know what they're talking about.
What do you guys mean you "hope" it makes a come back! I see girls rocking their curly everywhere I go and on SM and it makes me so happy to see people embracing their natural textures again. I love when my hair is smooth & sleek, but my waves/curls have so much volume. I'm committing to not straightening my hair anymore! Can't wait to see how beautiful it will look after about a year.
who said its not in ? theres a whole community of naturally curly girls that wear their hair like this daily, bc thats what we naturally have. ive always felt cool with my curly hair
@@famillyjewels perms have been back for a while now haha everyone at my school has one and every time I walk In a hair salon at least a couple people are getting one that’s ok if u didn’t know tho ❤
I LOVE big hair! Both the curly hairstyle and the voluminous 90s blowout. I hate that the current trend with the middle part with the roots being really flat is basically the only thing I ever see in the media. Some people just look better with a little volume or with a side part lol
Ladies, why wait for it to make a come back? Start rocking it if you love it! ☺️🍐🍐🍐 I had perm 3 years ago, unfortunately, I have long super slick hair so it didn't work out exactly how planned. But if it's your authentic hair....well, all cards to you, then
I just straightened my hair. The frizzy curly hair was uncontrollable for me and I just needed a few good hair days where I felt nice about myself. I love my wavy curly hair but man sometimes I don’t want to put in so much work.
Agreed, I was (and still am, a little) jealous of all of the curls; especially since my hair refuses to hold them. Unfortunately, between perms going out of style due to the harsh chemicals, and straighteners becoming so mainstream; we are denied all of the curls...
I’m happy that at least she spoke about it. Nowadays celebrities with curly hair who we look up to, ends up straightening their hair like it is the most obvious thing to do. if you have curly hair and wanna look pretty or put together then straighten it, simple. That’s the message it gives us. That’s one of the reasons why it’s hard for us to accept our natural hair. Lack of role models.
True that was my mom, I thought she had long curly hair until she told me she regularly got perms since the 80s now she just uses mousse to make it bigger lol
my friend’s cousin’s mom got a perm but then tried to reverse it but now it just looks straight/frizzy, with no real curl pattern to it and some strange texture.
I have always found curly hair to be SO BEAUTIFUL. The amount of natural volume I just think is stunning, even if it’s a little frizzy! Crazy how we all want what we don’t have. I hope it does make a comeback ❤
Yes please! I’m struggling to have the perfect curly hair for these days but my real hair is like the 80s😭 I get very surprised every time I see this hair in old movies 🥲
not really in Hollywood/pop culture though. everything and everyone on film/the cover of a magazine is smoothed to have no pores and their hair is either straight or they straighten it just to then go behind and use a curling iron to create beach waves or fake coils. natural curls are not “in” unfortunately. but idgaf, I got my “frizzy bushy big” hair out everyday and I like it : )
@@jo-eo9ld good point and I totally get it. I hate it when they praise someone on the cover or some show with perfectly curled hair without any single frizz thinking it could pass as "we curly girls woke up like this with perfect curls". I think we're slowly getting there since the main point of CGM is to educate us on how to take proper good care of our natural curls so we'll learn how to love them and not to conform with shitty beauty standards because for some it looks unprofessional and I'll be forever thankful for this.
Curly, wavy, and big hair was the beauty standard in those decades which changed to straight hair around the 90s. It will probably change back to curly hair. I think I remember watching an older movie where a character had a makeover from straight to curly
I mean it kinda already is changing. A friend of mine with straight hair got a Perm, making her hair my hair type, bigger curls. I used to straighten it 6 years before that. Only learned to show them 2 years before knowing her. But she is a raging bisexual so not main beauty standards anyways. But we are seeing it a hell lot more now. Natural hair
Yea I think perms were a big thing back in the day. My mom had a perm in the 80s-90s and has now gone straight. Meanwhile I have natural curls she thinks I got permed and I'm like - don't be jelly lol
Saaaame!!! Now the trend is straightening, but I love curly hair. I hope to find a hairdresser that can perm my hair (because it's rare to find someone that can make a perm nowadays)
@Stefania C. it's a total pain, my (high end) hairdresser is all but discouraging me from doing it. Idk why I'm sure he would charge a pretty penny! I would love some loose messy curls while I grow this mop out. Humm
Yes! It's crazy she's had it straight for so many years. She looks beautiful any way but I think she looks best with lighter hair as well. Rebecca Gayheart. Same situation.
@@kitakhat I take it you mean Rebecca lol? Yeah! Both! I'm half black and they have more defined curls than I do. I have interesting hair lol. Kinda white chick hair that's very fine, a little thin with curls that are quite loose. Almost like I got a curly perm that hardly worked. Lol she is definitely iconic. When you're called the noxema girl for decades you made a mark :D
Same! She’s the first person I saw on TV you had here that looks just like mine to the T surprisingly it was a white girl but nevertheless it worked out definitely love her!
I bring it back 24/7 because I don't really look good with straight hair. Big hair is like my freckles, any tricks or tips to cover it up look way worse than just living with it. For every insult I got in grade school through high school ( poodle head, did you stick your finger in a light socket and much worse....) I now hear multiple compliments on " how gorgeous is your hair" or " You rock your curls" and sadly " I love your hair, I wish I could wear mine like that ". I encourage these last people to embrace the natural hair, love it and condition it. There are so many resources now on how to have your best textured curly hair. Ladies , gentlemen, They and Them, the moral of this story is embrace yourself. Do you. Stay hydrated and don't forget your sunscreen.
I bring i back everyday bc i'm too lazy to be straightening my hair that often anymore... and I wanted long hair and that wasn't happening when it all was snapping off bc of heat damage
@@washambiswimp714 for real, in 2002 a blowout was a 4 hr process on my hair and in the humid climate where I lived it had to be BABIED every single day.

I am fine and on time, I live my life and I love it. Best revenge ever 🤷♀️ ? I stand by my original post. Curly hairs: Embrace your true self. There is noone like you. You are phenomenal. Roll your shoulders back and unclench that jaw. Hydrate well and wear a good sunscreen . ❤ Even if your frizzy, you're still beautiful!
I love this whole comment and especially the kindly reminder about staying hydrated and applying sunscreen. Let's embrace and take care of ourselves for sure!
i have curly hair and there is ZERO representation for curly hair if it’s not pre-makeover. i literally get so excited when i see curly hair on tv bc i literally never saw it as a child. i even internalized that curly hair=ugly/unprofessional so for every fancy occasion i always straighten my hair so i look more “put together” it’s terrible. but also why i love love love 80s movies because even tho most of those girls curls are super loose compared to mine, it’s still curly hair representation and someone somewhere has that same hair type and will realize it’s beautiful just the way it is.
@@user-mk9hv8sl5p they are only talking about white women. They don't specifiy because they have been taught that white women are the default for ALL women. So they ignore everyone else.

Actually curly hair is super popular again, with a lot of the later gen z and gen Alfa getting PERMS to achieve the look that’s super popular on TikTok right now. A lot of hair suppliers are upping their curly hair pieces also
It was perms. Everyone had a perm. Every salon was like an episode of Oprah: you get a perm! You get a perm! And you get a perm! EVERYBODY GETS A PERM! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
My mum had perms when she was younger. Absolutely beautiful. Even my grandad had a perm 😂💕 I blame it on the rage caused by the hair straightener. Like how curly hair became an "in" thing. So did the hair straightener. I remember everyone trying to get their hands on a ghd. I don't think anyone actively made curly hair seem like a monstrosity. Trends change. And many of the newer trends diss on the previous trends. And that will happen in the future too. It's a never-ending cycle

Straight hair could be as gorgeous as curly hair. It will depend on how it is taking care of and style.

The AUDACITY of them trying to run a BRUSH through her curls in The Princess Diary!
I agree we should bring it back, and I really like that look on some of those women, such as Nicole Kidman.
But I think the way it should be done is for those who influence and shape the way we see beauty as a culture to feature a variety of different natural hair types. It's fun to do a drastically different kind of look with your hair if you want to. It's different when it feels like you have to in order to be accepted.
Also, it's very damaging to your hair to go through perming or straightening. To get it done right without destroying your hair is very expensive. For example, in the 1990s, there was a kind of perm called a spiral perm. Even then, it cost easily $500 if you had a decently long, thick head of hair. So, it becomes a class issue as well.
The amount of time those with the unfavored hair types have to spend to get themselves looking like whatever is the accepted way to look at that moment is itself a problem.
The chemicals needed and damage to the environment are a problem as well.
Me as a 35 year old who got “that perm” at 11 in the 90s for that $500. Little did me OR my parents even realize I have shakira like curls already!!!😂😩 I was just taught to brush brush brush and heat damage!🥹😩🤦🏻♀️

EXACTLY!!!
My best friend’s hair is naturally like this and we cannot go to a single place without someone telling her how beautiful her hair is. It’s so funny to me at this point because it’s truly just unavoidable
Happens to me almost every day. It’s funny, because I was born in the 1970’s and everyone had stick straight hair. I hated my hair then, but I love it now.
@@happysheepies7321 ha! I have really fine, pin straight hair and I -hate- it! 😬
Whether you bring it back or not. We are curly girls and we love our hair. I've made it straight twice but I missed my curls and was so happy when I got them back
Curly hair really gives a dreamy, romantic look & vibe.
Yes, very Botticelli - esque
the way you describe it made me smile
It’s romantic except that it takes actual work to make it look “nice” enough that straight hair people don’t say we look like we just rolled out of bed (after spending an hour doing hair)
Mariah Carey’s curls early in her career are so beautiful.
She literally hated it. Her with her straight hair now when she looks back at those pictures she says that whoever did her hair needed to be fired😢

@@LaTaeviaTanae they didn't do a lot about it, they just teased it a bit, gave it the care it deserved but never styled it in a way that makes it look better...
When I was in elementary I always thought that curly hair was viewed negatively, like people thought curly hair was ugly, so I would always put it in a ponytail and never loose; I had a lot of curly hair, but now I just embrace it and I'm loving it.
I think curly hair looks so free spirited, beautiful, and effortless (even though we KNOW it can take a lot of effort a lot of time). It’s glamorous in its own way. Def needs to make a comeback! ❤
They definitely should bring back some of these hairstylessss
@@weirddd469 if it's natural curly hair is way more healthy than straight your hair with iron
@@weirddd469 True, I think they used to tease it and put a lot of hairspray in it in the 80's. And also got perms.

I agree. As someone with extremely straight hair I've always been obsessed with the full volumous curl or the extreme beachy waves. I think it's absolutely gorgeous💗
As a person who had straight hair when younger, same 😂 I used to rip pieces of cloth just to get full on ringlets
THANK YOU curly girls are literal Renaissance paintings, goddesses, angels BRING IT BACK
I think people like you calling it “big,bushy,frizzy” is part of what’s holding us back from wearing our natural curly hair
Thank you
Exactly!!!!😂😂😂
Bahahahahahahahahahahaha! Exactly! That description isn’t exactly singing the praises of curly hair!
100%. Especially calling it "frizzy" 🙄
Omg she is so condescending
i always hated that scene in the princess diaries where they depict her frizzy, curly hair as being an aspect of making her “ugly” for so many girls, that’s our natural hair type. it always made me feel bad about my hair. and even now when i get compliments on it, i just get told that it looks super 80’s esc… and “old fashioned.” like damn i just know the girlies are jealous… 😭
yup, thats my hair type and i felt like trash watching that as a child
True. They should’ve gave her a makeover that enhanced her curly hair. Instead of mocking it with that scene where the guy broke his brush 🤨
I was always being told I was so cute.. Except for my hair. That scene reaffirmed that.
I also have wavy/curly hair (2c-3a) and I think it’s gross and weird to say other girls are jealous just if they’re rude to you. If girls are rude, ignore them. Girls support girls
Yo también odiaba esa escena porque me recordaba lo que mucha gente me hizo creer por años.
La gente solía decirme, cuando era niña y adolescente, que mi cabello era feo. Incluso en la escuela una maestra y los prefectos me dijeron que debía recoger mi cabello porque se veía "desaliñado y sucio" (mi cabello no es muy común en donde vivo). Fue hasta la adultez que aprendí a amar mi cabello y ahora me gusta alentar a las niñas a ver lo bonito de su cabello rizado 😊
I hated my curly hair growing up. All the girls at school had straight hair. I started straightening mine to the point it was so damaged, fried and dead. I stopped straightening it to let it breathe on its own and grow out and started cutting my hair regularly. Now I love my curls more than ever and I use products made specifically for mixed hair. That’s one thing I love about those movies is all the big curly hair. I hope it makes a comeback.
As a curly girl myself I gotta agree that curly hair representation in the media needs to make a comeback. I genuinely think because of the 80’s-90’s movies it made me embrace my curls more. But in my generation you don’t really see ever or if you do it’s not natural curls it’s usually stylist taking a curling iron to the actresses hair to try to imitate the natural curly hair look.
You calling it “bushy” and “frizzy” doesn’t really help…
Lol good point.
IKR
I have this hair and it really sucks that I get told to straighten my hair, but you never see straight haired girls getting told to "curl" their hair. The pressure gets to you.
They used to. Back when this hair was popular. I got perms. Smells so nasty. Trends come and go.
Yeah, I used to get perms in the 80's and even did it again in '00 when ridiculously straight hair was in. After chemotherapy now the lower-back part of my hair grows curly and straight on top and in the front. It's kind of ridiculous.
Don’t let them beat you down. Styles come and go. My hope is that as more people embrace their curly hair it will become “stylish” once again. Though I fear it may be far longer before it becomes ingrained as polished and professional.
I'm a poker straight haired girl and i've always hated not being born with curls,so i've been perming mine for the last 37 years and I love it,I don't follow fashion or hair trends,I just do me and what I want. You do you and wear your natural curls with pride.I love curly hair.
I literally have wavy hairs which tend to hold shapes naturally, if i dont comb they are curly if I comb they are wavy-straight.... Everyone literally tells me to straighten them and all my gfs have poker straight hairs so i do think about straightening them. I haven't done anything to them as I love my wavy hair but the peer pressure keeps on weighing
The curly style is literally the look I want to achieve
As someone who grew up in the 80s and has naturally curly-wavy hair, there are many reasons why it was popular then. Super straight hair was big in the 70s, and hair like fashion trends changes about every 7-10 years (faster now). Also, bc it was so popular at that time, alot of people who had curly hair had it bc of a perm, though not the actors portrayed here. Finally, particularly in the 90s, the natural hair and minimal makeup was in. Kindof like the (imo) WAY overdone makeup with 18 shades of contour are popular now.
I do think embracing your natural hair has started to come back though.
We've come to eqaute silky, well-defined curls with healthy hair. But I've always loved big frizzy curls. 🤷 And it's not inherently less "healthy" than any other hair type.
Thank you. I've been made fun of my whole life for having unruly hair.
as someome who’s been mocked for having this hair type thank you 🥹🥹
This is true! They're just not clumped together :D
Honestly tho, I think well defined curls aren’t as pretty because it just looks so artificial
exactly! or if you go into a store with your hair natural, you'll get the old "oh your hair is so dry, buy this conditioner" haha uhm I don't think so, but thanks for your judgement
As a girl w/ an Afro…Big hair is just plain awesome. Literally looks great on everyone, no matter their hair type !!!
The movie heathers is so chaotic 😂
In Hollywood for shot continuity, they have turned to wigs as it doesn't require as much restyling as hair does and it is easier to make it look the same in every take as opposed to natural hair that moves and reacts to set temperature/humidity/wind/heat damage
And in my opinion, they all looked better with their naturally curly hair ❤️!
Ditto!
All of them weren’t natural

I really liked the main character in Russian Doll. She had big curly ginger hair. You don't see that often in media
The hair aesthetic for the witches of Eastwick was everything I ever wanted for my hair.
I love Keri Russell curly hair. She had the best hair in the 90s.
I saw Keri Russell for the first time in 2017 on “Honey, I Blew Up the Kid” and it took me no more than 2 seconds to decide to transition back to my curly hair! Her hair in that movie was gorgeoussss
She had the most beautiful hair.
I loved her hair as a kid in the 90’s. ❤
Her hair in the 90s is the stuff of legend. I could never forget it. She was quite possibly one of the most beautiful girls on the planet at the time. I remember her vividly on The Mickey Mouse Club and The Baby-Sitter's Seduction!
Always wanted her hair.
We’re still here. I’m still here. I’ve been wearing it curly since 8th grade when I embraced it
Same

Natasha Lyonne in Russian Doll, Alexandra Shipp in Tick, Tick, Boom…, and SZA go for it. As a curly girl, it’s definitely my favourite. It’s felt like the era of straight hair and slicked back high ponies has been going on for decades. I thought post-COVID, the rise of curl influencers and denman brushes, and people going for more stripped back and natural looks we would have seen more big romantic curls, but…
Natasha's hair is my daily motivation to not cut my hair, it's so pretty
Girl I'm obsessed with Natasha Lyonne's hair in Russian Doll. The colour contrast with the black clothes, the puffyness, the big hair...gorgeous. It's quite sad when they make her wear straight hair or wavy hair at red carpets or interviews. She said that she hated her hair as a kid but she embraces it now that's why she made the character like that so...

So this NGL is a surprise to me bc I've been noticing an uptick in curls. The white girls w curls often had them 'tamed' w curlers etc like Taylor swift felt like a breath of fresh air in my youth/preteendom. Lorde as well..Ilana glazer comes to mind when it comes to embracing curls, Kate berlant.

My hair is also big , curly and “frizzy” and I totally agree that this NEEDS to come back in style.
As someone who lived in the 80’s, I can tell you perms and body waves were the rage. My guess is that these actors did not have natural curly hair, but had perms.
Exactly
Perms were really popular, a lot of them didn't have natural curls. I have noticed perms coming back, I think they have improved over time. I feel like almost every woman in her fifties has a perm horror story from the eighties. They used to look so bad for the first few weeks, until they relaxed a little, and then by the time you knew how to manage your new curls, they would start to grow out. I bleached my hair for like fifteen years, and recently grew out my natural color. I discovered I have really wavy hair when I'm not processing it to death, but I can't figure out how to manage it and make it look good so I always end up flatironing it
There are products specifically for wavy hair in that they're not too thick and heavy like tighter, drier curls would need. Definitely look on the internet, there's tons of good products for every hair type. But also figure out your hair type and find suggestions from there.
I permed my hair 3x in the late 80s early 90s..it still curls till now but not as curly as then more like wavy! I steer away from straight hair as it doesn't suit my face. You need to do what suits ur features not just follow trends as they come and go..
I know I do. My hair was so dry from color and a perm that when it blew in the wind it just stayed there
If I may. I would try a new hairstyle on more than one week end. When you know you won't have to leave the house and/or meet anyone.
Depending on your texture, curls will have a life on their own.
Mine are always in prison, on braids. They are allowed to be free three days before a shampoo week end.'Cause the braids give them a pattern that is more manageable. And I know I will have days ahead to detangle and taking care of whatever needs to be taking care of.
@@bellasue02 lol I've been there from at home bleach jobs. I learned my lesson
When I wear my natural wavy curly hair, I feel like a Greek princess. Growing up in the early 2000s, my friends always wanted to straighten my hair. It always looked like a lifeless wig floating around my head. My curls and waves, however dance around my face like they are happy to be there

One thing i really dislike is if you have curly hair today, it has to be full of product and perfect with no frizz or fluff. But it takes HOURS and doesn't look natural!
These women in the 80's would not have had to spend hours on their hair and tonnes of money on sticky product. (I personally HATE having product in my hair)
@@katyb2793 at that time we used to perm our hair. The weather was far better so I only used hair conditioner. My natural hair is wavy. Now I have to use lots of products to keep it in place.
@@starseed8809 that's so interesting! What did naturally curly hair women do? Did they just let their hair air dry?
It's back in a big way. Not dry and frizzy of those days, but shiney, and defined, all the way to wavy. The natural look is in.
🎉 yessss curly girl here that feels “undone” when I don’t straighten due to the mainstream media atm 😢❤
Don’t give in! Wear it natural ♥️
This is my natural hair and it sucks when people ask me if I even brush my hair and that it looks like a rat’s nest even when I do my best to comb it out
Edit: Thanks for all the tips guys 🫶
I simply don’t brush my hair (only if it’s wet) and it’s doing wonders for my curls :) try it :)
Leave in conditioners, curl creams, and gels are the best for defining the waves and curls. It helps to look more put together.
try following the curly girl method if you want to get definition! Doesn't have to be exact to the step but as a fellow curly haired girl who used to be told this all the time before I discovered the method, it's sooo helpful! Went from people calling it a birds nest to ppl asking me how I do it:))
Girl same 😭
Ironically, combing it out dry will only make it frizzier and more knotted. You gotta comb it wet and put in lots of product then leave it alone. It's so awful that ppl say this stuff, they used to say it to me as well and as a result I would always have frizzy hair and be so frustrated and annoyed bc my hair was just untamable. Turns out, it is very different to straight hair and you gotta stop listening to ppl and do your research instead bc quite frankly, most straight haired ppl don't know what they're talking about.
What do you guys mean you "hope" it makes a come back! I see girls rocking their curly everywhere I go and on SM and it makes me so happy to see people embracing their natural textures again. I love when my hair is smooth & sleek, but my waves/curls have so much volume. I'm committing to not straightening my hair anymore! Can't wait to see how beautiful it will look after about a year.
Exactly! They talking about like half a decade ago when straight hair was the style. But in recent years, natural curly hair IS the trend already

Completely renders invisible the Black women and other women of color who have been and stay wearing their natural curly hair but……
Agreed, I was (and still am, a little) jealous of all of the curls; especially since my hair refuses to hold them.
Unfortunately, between perms going out of style due to the harsh chemicals, and straighteners becoming so mainstream; we are denied all of the curls...
I’m happy that at least she spoke about it. Nowadays celebrities with curly hair who we look up to, ends up straightening their hair like it is the most obvious thing to do. if you have curly hair and wanna look pretty or put together then straighten it, simple. That’s the message it gives us. That’s one of the reasons why it’s hard for us to accept our natural hair. Lack of role models.
A lot of ladies got a perm tho, since it was popular then :) my aunts had it done until the late 90s
Some of them are natural and get ir enhanced with curlers or perm. The point is eve naturally curly hair seems to have dissapeared from the media
@@FC-hj9ub that’s what happens. Certain trends die and new ones are born.

I have always found curly hair to be SO BEAUTIFUL. The amount of natural volume I just think is stunning, even if it’s a little frizzy! Crazy how we all want what we don’t have. I hope it does make a comeback ❤
That's not a hair style, that's just genetics. Curly hair is literally genetics not a hair style. A hair style is something like braids.
Yes please! I’m struggling to have the perfect curly hair for these days but my real hair is like the 80s😭 I get very surprised every time I see this hair in old movies 🥲
I thought curly hair has already made their comeback ever since the CGM started??
not really in Hollywood/pop culture though. everything and everyone on film/the cover of a magazine is smoothed to have no pores and their hair is either straight or they straighten it just to then go behind and use a curling iron to create beach waves or fake coils. natural curls are not “in” unfortunately. but idgaf, I got my “frizzy bushy big” hair out everyday and I like it : )
@@jo-eo9ld good point and I totally get it. I hate it when they praise someone on the cover or some show with perfectly curled hair without any single frizz thinking it could pass as "we curly girls woke up like this with perfect curls". I think we're slowly getting there since the main point of CGM is to educate us on how to take proper good care of our natural curls so we'll learn how to love them and not to conform with shitty beauty standards because for some it looks unprofessional and I'll be forever thankful for this.
I'd say curly hair made it's comeback due to the natural hair movement. Which also gave birth to methods like the CGM
I feel like that's really true in real life but hasn't showed up on mainstream media. And I mean hasn't showed up as a cool thing or trend.
@@necabibi3558 yep.
Curly, wavy, and big hair was the beauty standard in those decades which changed to straight hair around the 90s. It will probably change back to curly hair. I think I remember watching an older movie where a character had a makeover from straight to curly
Yes, to the beauty "standards ". It's what society tells us is beautiful.
I mean it kinda already is changing.
A friend of mine with straight hair got a Perm, making her hair my hair type, bigger curls.
I used to straighten it 6 years before that. Only learned to show them 2 years before knowing her.

I encourage these last people to embrace the natural hair, love it and condition it. There are so many resources now on how to have your best textured curly hair.
Ladies , gentlemen, They and Them, the moral of this story is embrace yourself. Do you. Stay hydrated and don't forget your sunscreen.

@@washambiswimp714 for real, in 2002 a blowout was a 4 hr process on my hair and in the humid climate where I lived it had to be BABIED every single day.
Siempre sale los raices....thats what the said when the hair started to curl at the forehead, the worst place to lay that hair iron.....and thats what made me think... wth....let my roots come out, why I am forcing myself into some Eurocentric paperdoll image????
I like my mix. I am who I am.
And sure, some people try to bully me still.
Do I care about hateful people living miserable lives hating?
Not really.
I am fine and on time, I live my life and I love it.
Best revenge ever 🤷♀️ ?
I stand by my original post.
Curly hairs:
Embrace your true self.
There is noone like you.
You are phenomenal.
Roll your shoulders back and unclench that jaw.
Hydrate well and wear a good sunscreen . ❤
Even if your frizzy, you're still beautiful!
💜❤️
I love this whole comment and especially the kindly reminder about staying hydrated and applying sunscreen. Let's embrace and take care of ourselves for sure!
pov: your sunscreen is slimy on your skin(makes your hair stick to it) and it smells very strong
i have curly hair and there is ZERO representation for curly hair if it’s not pre-makeover. i literally get so excited when i see curly hair on tv bc i literally never saw it as a child. i even internalized that curly hair=ugly/unprofessional so for every fancy occasion i always straighten my hair so i look more “put together” it’s terrible. but also why i love love love 80s movies because even tho most of those girls curls are super loose compared to mine, it’s still curly hair representation and someone somewhere has that same hair type and will realize it’s beautiful just the way it is.
Zendaya
I used to have social anxiety when I didn't straighten my hair. Luckily I've got rid of that now.
@@user-mk9hv8sl5p they are only talking about white women. They don't specifiy because they have been taught that white women are the default for ALL women. So they ignore everyone else. They think they are the blue print. So they don't count Zendaya, or any other black or mixed women. It's annoying.
Obvy it's so beautiful
Actually curly hair is super popular again, with a lot of the later gen z and gen Alfa getting PERMS to achieve the look that’s super popular on TikTok right now. A lot of hair suppliers are upping their curly hair pieces also
I STILL love rocking my curls…. Only a small percentage of the world is naturally curly so I embrace it ❤
Most black people have curly hair, while the rest have wavy or straight (naturally) so curly haired people aren’t a minority
tbh straight hair is the minority
@@ruseangirl for some odd reason many non black people act like they don't consider people of African decent part of the curly hair demographics.
@@Mia-Elemental it’s very strange.
Not true, curly hair is a dominant trait, straight hair is recessive.
It was perms. Everyone had a perm. Every salon was like an episode of Oprah: you get a perm! You get a perm! And you get a perm! EVERYBODY GETS A PERM! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yeah I had a perm then so did little sister, so did my mom. We all had perms.
And I literally got a perm like a week ago lol. It’s big and a little unruly and I can’t get enough of it.
Yes, but they were only doing that because Hollywood stars rocking naturally curly “big” hair made it fashionable.
Nicole's curls was real. Julia has wavy hair. I dunno about the rest.
Really, even Keri Russell?
They all look so gorgeous! 😍
My mum had perms when she was younger. Absolutely beautiful. Even my grandad had a perm 😂💕
I blame it on the rage caused by the hair straightener.
Like how curly hair became an "in" thing. So did the hair straightener. I remember everyone trying to get their hands on a ghd.
I don't think anyone actively made curly hair seem like a monstrosity. Trends change. And many of the newer trends diss on the previous trends. And that will happen in the future too.
It's a never-ending cycle
