In the summer it's too hot to stand under a blowdryer for 15 minutes so I tend to be curly most of the warm, humid season (my natural hair texture). I think it's fun to go back and forth- curly one day, straight the next.

When I was studying microwaves, many scientists I interviewed were more concerned with cellular phones and hairdryers - another good reason to turn it off! Coconut and Shea are such great options! Thanks for the reminder. I have wondered about Kiss my Face and Jason. I have questioned Alba sometimes too, regarding how 'natural' they are. I used to like Giovanni and was disappointed to find they were showing high traces of dioxane in some of their products. The Organic Consumers Association just released their study on 1,4 dioxane http://www.organicconsumers.org/bodycare/index.cfm and these brands were some of those that were featured. It is hard to find natural brands that really minimize their use of fragrance, preservatives, and other harmful chemicals.
