My older son, who's a tween, has curly hair. He doesn't really care about doing anything with his appearance, at least not yet.. I've been hyping up this hairstyle for him. I want him to feel attractive (I'm not sure he does - having your mom say you're handsome doesn't count).
I'm GenX. My dad had a permanent for a few years. I think the photos look very silly. But, people should do what they like.
