I’m one of those people with curly hair that hates it. I hate it, because I can’t opt out of dealing with it
As a person with straight hair, I empathize with this so much. I cannot opt out of it either, my hair will not hold a curl to save my life and it’s dull, scraggly, and takes so much effort to manage when it’s long.
I know it’s not an option for everyone, but I just said fuck it and cut it all off. I’ve had a pixie cut most of my adult life lol

Opting out and getting dull and scraggly as a result is the type of opting out I want

lol I wish we could switch hair because I’d love to have my hair be able to have any kind of body at all

Curly hair is great for people that love beauty routines and self care sessions!
It’s not so great for people who don’t

I get that. I feel like it’s the actually really similar for my hair type. When it’s long, if I don’t have an extensive routine with conditioners and hair oils, it just knots up with the tiniest breeze. Like, if it’s a sort of windy day, I will end up with a rat’s nest of knots.
But that’s why I cut mine all off, I’d rather deal with a pixie cut than spend an hour+ keep it manageable every day. It’s probably a grass is greener kind of thing lol
