RE: Freedom From Blow-dryers

Honestly, there is no special formula, aside from finding a gorgeous model or actress who has your hair type and falling in love with it. My model-hair lady is Gisele. (I know, I wish, but it works for me.) If you have limp, straight hair, Kate Moss is a pretty fantastic example; the early Julia Roberts always makes me want to have super-curly hair; and Liya Kebede looks pretty amazing on the cover of Cookie this month. Anyway, I wish I had step-by-step how-to hints, but the key is believing—genuinely believing—that your particular hair type is exceptionally beautiful.
