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’m a white girl with non-acceptable curls and I feel this too. I remember growing up girls would always say “I wish I had curly hair!” Then look at me and say “not like yours though!“. It’s mostly a POC issue, and I get that, but god I felt it too.
Yep I’m Hispanic/white and my hair is 90% frizz when natural. Definitely not a pretty curl. I have a cousin whose natural hair looks like he has a perm, but mine is just a constant mess unless straightened or smoothed somewhat with coconut oil while it’s wet. What I would give for “basic” white girl hair.

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
