CHAMELEON. Naturally curly, after every hair-dresser's visit - sleeky. And I sometimes just love to fool people about my hair. Some still do not believe that my curls are natural. Some say that they like sleek and shine better than curls. Some envy me about my curls, some adore. I myself love my curls, hate them when they decide to curl the way I don't want them to curl (well, it depends on weather, mood, water... ANYTHING!). And here it is for you to compare and give your opinion what you prefer - sleek and shine or curls!

The photos taken with a month difference a year and half ago. Both of them are my favourites from that time and that's the only reason why chosing those particular photos. Others are probably better quality and so on, but I just chose the ones I really like. The curly one lacks sharpness a bit, but I didn't change it, left as it was. Yes, and they are really SELFPORTRAITS! Sleek&shine shot by spreading hand as far as possible and looking back. Curly shot by placing camera on a bench and trying to pretend I'm talking to somebody. Just loved how I looked that day and decided to make a small photo-session in the evening.

Sleek & shine taken on 16-11-2004
Curls - on 09-10-2004
Both photos converted to greyscale and applied duotone.

Better curls!!
Anyway you look so pretty with or without curls. Don't worry about it

Greetings from Barcelona

Hi Laine!!

Wow, I like both actually, I think I'll chose the curls simply because it's a better look, the smile, the casualness to it.

Bravo for posting this Laine, well done!

Hi Laine,
You are pretty either way. As for the photos, they are both well done - the curly hair one is very sexy, along with a nicely mischevious look and smile - great POV. The sleek & shine has a different pose and more of an academic mood about it. If I hadn't known, I would have guessed these are 2 different people. Intriguing and thought provoking ... Very nicely done, TFS, Sam
