As some with curly hair the only way to control it is to shower and wet it. Once you touch it, go out in the wind, lay down, or wear a hat it does whatever it wants.
Water makes the curls coherent, everything else makes them incoherent, a reminder that entropy always increases. Also that makes it frizzy.
It’s so funny, because in my case airdrying is one of the worst solutions. My hair gets very frizzy and flat while still curly. What I have to do instead is to immediately lie down with wet hair and kinda squish it against the pillow. When I wake up in the morning it’s voluminous and mostly not frizzy.
I will have you know that untreated hard water (calcium, to be specific) also has effects.
curly hair is its own entity at the top of my head. it craves moisture and oils, the only thing that can temporarily force it to behave is hair modelling clay. if i dare to blow hot air at it (yes even with the weird hair blower attachment) it is going to revolt against me and not curl. there’s a whole ritual i have to perform each wash, and if i don’t it threatens to make me look like i just woke up from a 12h sleep after 48h of partying
I have curly hair and it does whatever the hell it wants, no matter what I do.
I like doing dutch braids on the sides and a ponytail in the middle
that looks so fun but so annoying to do haha
also I had no idea you could add alt text to images that aren’t posts!
Yeah it’s kinda time consuming (20-40 minutes once every few days) but at least it reduces how much my hair tangles and knots between washes. I’m probably overdue a big chop but tbh I really like some of the looks I can get with this length.
Yeah, alt text is formatted in much the same way as display text for any other kind of link is.
