Honest opinions please!!

La
I have naturally wavy hair. It looks like crap when I do nothing but blow dry it, so I either have to air dry it or straighten it. My husband likes it better curly, but I'm kind of insecure about wearing it curly because my dad used to tell me all the time it looked like I "hadn't brushed my hair" or "trashy" when I would let it air dry. I need HONEST opinions...does it look bad curly?? Better straight??
