Have you ever taken cooked spaghetti noodles and tried to curl them? It doesn't work. They don't want to be curled and they will resist with a passion. So it is with the hair in this family.
What, then, do we do with hair that is about as malleable as cooked spaghetti? We plait, of course! Happy are we, finally! "Long live braids and may they never fall out of favor," is my prayer.
