Lovita, 27, up-and-coming singer/songwriter

What do you love most about having curly hair? What do you hate?
"Nothing for me to hate, but I have to confess that I love when its windy and the curls sweep across my face."

How long does it take to do your hair?
"Literally 10 seconds! I wake up, do a Rita Hayworth hair toss and I'm out the door!"

What's your frizz-fighting secret?
"Water — works every time."

Would you ever straighten your curls?
"No, never. With this hair, I lose all my peripheral vision, which is intoxicating and liberating — I just focus and go!"

What are your must-have curly-hair products?
"Water and coconut oil."

What's your advice to all curly girls?
"Be good to your curls and they'll be good to you."
