> In my mind, bushy does not necessarily indicate curly or frizzy. It
can just mean thick hair with lots of volume. My hairdresser describes
my hair as "bushy" and I assure you it's straight as a board.

What made Hermione suddenly look beautiful for the Yule Ball was not just
having had her teeth shrunk, not just that she was wearing a party dress
(and presumably some make-up), but that her hair had been subdued with
an entire jar of Hair-So-Sleek. (Is Hair-So-Sleek a magic product or a
Muggle product? For that matter, why couldn't she subdue her hair more
or less permanently with by Charming it?)

Does your perfectly straight, thick hair with lots of volume need
to be subdued with Hair-So-Sleek to look beautiful for the Ball? *I*
think of voluminous hair, straight, curly like Farrah Fawcett-Majors
(who here is old enough to remember her?), or those tight little curls
called 'kinky', as being beautiful and admired, only frizzy hair being
considered a defect.
