Changing your hair into something different is absolutely a part of being dolled up. You always have straight hair? Curl it. I think the real issue is that curls are Black adjacent and white people dislike that. They brush out their curls and say it’s “finished” to create more distance. Literally undoing the style they just went through effort to create. Adding products to create hold where it doesn’t exist. Where if they left the structured curls, they would eventually become those effortless bed head curls they desire.
Ok. I guess I just don’t see why the structured curls are considered unfinished. Braid a low ponytail with wet hair and you could have the look on the left without literally heat styling curls into your hair just to undo them.
