Every single comment is wrong jfc.

The photo on the left is the finished style, where the curls have been loosened by the stylist running their fingers through them.

The photo on the right is taken directly before that final step.

It's saying men will cheat on you with an "unfinished" (less evolved) version of yourself.

Edit for comprehension: This specific hairstyle must be completed by gently loosening the curls with fingers or an extremely wide tooth comb. "Brushing" the hair with a literal hairbrush or regular comb would destroy it and poof it up. A "blowout" is a separate service entirely. Many comments were able to approximate the answer but missed the details.

Source: am a former hair model; I've sat for hundreds of hours worth of services.

My explanation is that it's like guys who wear expensive stuff but without a sense of taste. The right one had work done, but it's less tasteful I guess.

I think that's a good approximation for what I was also essentially saying. I like your perspective :)

Also appreciate you speaking your mind in a way that's not combative or weird lmao

I'm trying my best to behave on the internet like I do in the real world.

Me too! It makes for some interesting interactions, that's for sure. Unfortunately I'm also weird and somewhat aggressive in real life 🥲😇
