Blah, blah, blah! After visiting dozens of stylists, and typically ending up looking like a poodle, I decided to create . . .

I-Hate-My-Curls.com, dedicated to curly-plagued women who are ready, and willing, to fight those curls!

Join the forum where you can:

• Warn fellow curly girls about salons and stylists who say they're 'curly experts', but who, in reality, have butchered our manes and brought tears to our eyes.

• Add to our list of 'preferred' curly hair salons.

• Share hair straightening tips and tricks.

• Recommend hair straightening products and techniques that have successfully tamed your curls into a beautiful style.

Become a member (by clicking 'Create New Account' up there to the left) and:

• Share your curly hair stories. All submissions will be reviewed by The I-Hate-My-Curls Team and, where acceptable, will be published to the site!

• Receive occasional emails from the I-Hate-My-Curls.com staff. We don't send daily, weekly, or even monthly emails, just to be sending them. If we have something to say that we think you might enjoy, we'll pop you an email. Otherwise, we leave you alone.

Here's to Happy Hair Days!
