Most of the guys I see with long hair usually have straight hair. I'd saw about 1 of of 10 have curly hair. I'm talking hair shoulder length or longer. Is there a reason for this? Seems kind of strange in my opinion.
It is indeed peculiar. In fact, curly hair is very rare, at least around here. I can name only several people with curly hair, short or long. Heck, even natural wavy hair is not so common.
Curly hair is simply harder to grow long. It takes more time to appear long as it tends to grow "out" at first rather than "down"...and some of the length disappears into the spiral of the curl. Many guys with curly hair don't have the patience to go through the awkward stage and/or cave into pressure from others to abandon their long hair goal.
But, after a couple of years, if they've stuck with it, most are very pleased. Long, curly hair is a great look...and it displays a lot of character, not only in the "loo" of it, but the internal process of what the man has gone through to achieve it.
OOPS! TYPO! Should be "look"...
For all my good intentions, I DO NEED a proofreader!
I have to agree with that. I have curly hair and am growing it long. I'm currently about 7 months into the awkward stage and can definitely relate to paragraph one.

P.S. In response to the typo, Firefox 2.0 (currently at release candidate 1) has a spell checker built into it.
Curly hair takes much longer to grow long, so I suspect some guys just give up on it. Also, wavy/curly hair tends to become straighter as it gets longer due to the weight of it.
