To Curl or Not to Curl

Since this is the year I've decided to be serious about my career as a writer, one of the things I've been meaning to do is get a decent author photos done. I'm lucky one of my good friend's husband is an amazing photographer and he has kindly offered to do one for me. And Monday is the big day we will be getting them done! How exciting!

But - I have a dilemma. I possess the most frizzy, curly, unmanageable at the best of times hair. I can either use my straighteners to tame the beast and look groomed and sophisticated - or - I can use half a dozen products to boost the curl and give it shine to look less cave-woman like.

I've put the question out to my girly friends on Facebook and the battle is raging. What do you think I should do?
