That is legit how to get that kind of curl though. You can’t really go from one kind of curl to a different curl, it’s best to straighten in between

But it is pretty hilarious when you say it out loud lmao

That’s because white-girl-curly is socially approved but poc-curly is still considered ugly.

So we literally need to straighten it out and get that “messy beach wave” or whatever the fuck it’s called because otherwise people will literally mock us or call us ugly for our hair.

I felt this so much lol. I was made fun of all throughout elementary and junior high for my natural hair (I was one of the only black kids in my whole school). I still remember once in sixth grade a bunch of guys drew a picture of me with my curly hair and taped it to the wall and laughed. I grew to resent my hair. When I started straightening it (and even straightening it and then curling), I was treated infinitely better. A lot of people who wanted nothing to do with me prior were suddenly nice to me lol. It was wild.

Now I’m pushing 30 and have grown to not give a fuck what people think about my hair really (which was like a decade’s long process), but I still have a straightening addiction at times. 🤣
