[ - ] I have long, thick curly hair, basicaly one-length with slight layers in front, curly like Minnie Driver's and Andie MacDowell's. In my 40s now and love idea of chin-length bob, but have you ever seen a very curly bob? Can thick, curly hair pull it off? Want something chic instead of same old long hair. 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I'd be ok with it if they were normal except the majority of the time I get one they're weirdos - the type of guys I would normally never let see me naked or touch me at all, let alone as intimately as massages get.
