Merika...we are in the same boat!!
I got a body wave yesterday, and the curls are smaller than I thought they would be. My hair looks okay today, but I didn't know how to do it. Blowdry it? Let it dry naturally?
So I let it dry naturally, but it looked funny since I put mousse in it and 1/2 was straight and 1/2 curly...So I blowdried it and now it's a bit poofy!
