I think I know what you mean by "funk" and if I'm right men can have the same problem. I've got long hair but it's very straight and I wanted to change it so my wife suggested I start using curlers several times a week. She got me started and I like the effect so much I'm considering getting a perm but I'm concerned about the perception I might create. She is fine with this but does anyone have any opinions on men with curls?
