But it doesn't always work, in my case I keep it shaved to less than 1/2 inch because if I don't it will curl up something fierce, think carrot top type afro with black hair on a white guy... yes that bad, and it won't straighten, keeping it shaved on the other hand provides a trendy look, and doesn't look unprofessional, unlike when my hair grows out and is completely unmanageable.
