My curls are gone!!

I straightened my hair last night as a desperate attempt to avoid doing an essay..... I don't look like me anymore!!
My flatmate came back and told me I look really fit with straight hair, but I look in the mirror and all I see is 95% of the rest of the population - mostly the ones that piss me off, with their white blonde-over-damaged-ironed-poker straight hair...(sorry to anyone who looks like that).
I'm keeping it this way for a day to have some fun and see if people recognise me (three people have blanked me since I did it - haha) but I think I'm gonna have to bring my curls back this evening - I feel like a clone and I have no bounce on my head anymore! Not entirely sure how to deal with it either - styling it's virtually impossible. It's like having some exotic animal on my head....
Anyone else got an aspect of their appearance that would really shake them up if it was changed?

Edit: but each to there own, I think curly hair can look just as good. Why should we all become clones.
I have really really curly hair and when I straighten it I feel like another person!

Same. I also feel a bit like a startled rabbit!
Ok so maybe I put it a bit strongly. Was in a bad mood. But you must know what I mean - it's bad enough when you go out and EVERYONE'S wearing a denim skirt and flat boots with tights; yeah it looks good, but if the rest of the population have the same wardrobe you've gotta get a bit tired of seeing the same old same old. Here in Bristol, a lot of the time if you see two blonde girls from the back you wouldn't be able to tell the two apart. Same way I feel about hair - I really value individuality and, if you're straightening your hair to stop it looking messy then fair enough. But when people have gorgeous waves and something a bit different, it bothers me that they tame it to the point where they join the hordes.... Maybe it's unjustified, I don't know. But I do believe if you've got something that sets you apart from the crowd you shouldn't run out and change it unless it really bothers you.
But people with straight hair wasn't the point of my post - I was talking about how one aspect of your appearance can define you or make you feel like you....
About time too! :thumb:
hahaha ha !
But i see what you mean about everyone seeming to have straight hair now, having curly hair's different
:yes:
you're not wrong. not all of us curly heads were blessed with curls that actually look nice. left to its own devices, my barnet is somewhere between
flapper bob:
and sideshow bob:
:nervous:
my friend once told me that i looked like a lion pre-straighten. :grump:
I wear mine straight and wavy, depending on how i feel. I prefer it wavy but because its so long its a chore to curl and i cba so i just tend to straighten the kinks of my shorter bits
But now a lot of people seem to have done that, and the likes of Kerry Katona, Jordan, Jodie Marsh have made it more popular, not that they're style icons or anything.
Anyway, its shorter and blonde on top, dark brown underneath, and i wear it straight because it suits the style and because i dont have curly hair at all. I straighten it to make it look tidier and dont give a toss how many other people i look like because i like it.
