I've had natural hair for 34 years and never thought of my hair as harder to maintain or requires more work. I treat it the way it likes to be treated...no chemicals, no raking a comb or brush through it when it's dry, and letting it do it's thing...maintaining it's curl pattern...and yes, I do the wash n' go thing...

I would not take the pill. I don't even want to take a pill to keep from getting pregnant. Whenever you use a chemical to change a natural process you're asking for trouble. There is a tanning pill for the melanin impaired that deposits crystals in the eyes. Don't mess with nature.

WOW @ some of the comments here
i hope some of you never reproduce and carry on your backwards stupid thinking espesh nikki

no i wouldn't never take it
kinky curly hair doesn't need "curing" learn how to work with it, i did and i love it.

most epople with kinky curly hair don't care for their hair properly so its hard to manage.

Why not just create a pill that will eliminate breakage/split ends for good? That is the reason why we don't see as much growth as other races. Why try to change the way our hair naturally grows out of our scalps?

Oh girls please give us a break with the negativity and name calling. As proud as I am of my dark skin that protects me from premature aging and winkles, my kinky hair has always been a problem for me. I dont think it's ignorance to want more managable hair it's just practical but lighter skin is not practical. The message that lighter skin is better or prettier is constantly and subliminally sent to us through the media and a Europeanized social structure, nevertheless, nature begs to differ. Lighter skin tends to age pematurely, getting wrinkled because of the lack of melanin and is more prone to skin cancer. So i would take the pill to make my hair straighter and more manageble and give up relaxers forever but lighter skin is not on the menu for me no matter how much our society tries to shove that notion down my throat. My dark skin has treated me great but my kinky hair has not.

why can't they just make a pill to make brown skin white and ethnic features non-ethnic AND curly hair straight! now i would take that pill.

...and if you take it, what happens 10 years later? gout? brain damage? birth defect or worse? what if it straightens something that it is not supposed to? one gene almost always has more than one function.

i can imagine trying to straighten my hair and it ends up changing my eye muscle so i end up with long straight hair and crossed eyes... but hopefully they have a pill for crossed eyes that comes with this product.

i love my curly hair. i love having the ability to have curly or straight hair at any given time. its what makes me. its unique. women need to learn to love their hair

Why would anyone want to make curly hair straight and boring? Most of society is chomping at the bit trying to look like everyone else anyway, this is just one (outrageous)step closer to us all looking like carbon copies of each other. "A pill to alter your genetic make-up". What a complete crock.

Wow...Ignorance in every form shows on this blog. Are people aware that some women of other races are born with curly hair as well...in their natural state? I can imagine any woman of any race trying this "pill" if she felt she really wanted to alter the state of her hair. And in reference to Kitty, yeah her comment was more than likely not needed, but some of the responses to her comment shows ignorance just as bad as hers. Black women...please love yourself and all the things that are you! These conversations about hair are beginning to become redundant!

No, I would not pop an anti-curly pill. I spent years with a relaxer and an endless amount of time + money at the beauty shop with rods/rollers in my hair to make it curly; only to realize after going natural that I had curly hair!

I will never forget how great my hair felt in its natural state. I ran my fingers through my 1/2 inch hair and fell in love. When it was long enough to form a ringlet I was ecstatic. I had no idea my hair was naturally curly.

My hair is just one of the things that make me uniquely beautiful. Taking a pill to permanately alter what makes me unique is something I choose not to do.

God put every beautiful ringlet on my head and I wouldn't change his gift for anything in the world.

no I will not be taking a pill for straight hair. There have got to be major side effects with taking this pill. I have been natural for the past 8 years. I wore locs for 71/2 years. I love my hair and no time factor or anything else would make me change the texture of my hair. When your hair is bone straight it is dead hair. Only the hair with an S pattern is alive anyway. So if you ladies want to walk around with dead hair go with that.

Listen, it is not always about looks.Sometimes it is about time. I know so many girls with straight hair that can just wash and go. I would take the pill if there were no harsh side effects. I don't like spending 30min everyday trying to get my hair to look presentable. I want to be able to wash and go, go swimming, exercise without having to look a mess. I don't have the time nor patience. Curly hair is just more maintenance than straight.

I love my hair. It how I was made. All of my pasted relatives help to make up my gene pool and here I am. I want that fat gene. How about finding a cure for being fat.

No, I would NOT take this pill - I love my curly / kinky / nappy hair in all it's unstraighted glory.

No hate to my sistas that do straighten - it's your hair, do what makes YOU happy...but for me, napptural is the only way to go from now on!
