Curly Hairstyles Write For Us: There’s a scene in “Girls” in which Shoshanna, a recent college grad, is at a job interview, and the subject of Chelsea Clinton comes up. “She’s always been one of my heroes,” Shoshanna says, “because she is such a strong woman struggling so nobly with her very curly hair.” I was at a job interview myself the first time I realized that my own curls, most often described as pre-Raphaelite, could be a liability.
