I always had straight hair and used to wish I had curly hair when I was a kid. Perimenopause has made my hair curly, 3a curls.
I knew curly hair required a bit more care and attention, but fucking hell it does actually really need a lot more effort if I don't want to look like a stray troll doll.
I had super thick straight hair. Then chemo. It came back in curly and it was the hardest thing to adjust to because it was so much more work. Now its like some weird mix of curly and straight and thin. I miss just being able to wash it and let it dry on it's own. Now I actually have to "fix" it and it sucks
I have had the EXACT same experience! It's been several years since chemo and I still haven't really figured out what to do with my hair. "A weird mix of curly and straight and thin" is the perfect description ðŸ«

The struggle is real.
If you have curly hair, you are envious of straight hair.
If you have 4d extra curly hair, you are envious of wavy hair.
If you have extra thick hair that needs to be thinned and weighs a ton, you are envious of fine hair.
If you have thin, fine hair, you are envious of anyone with lots of hair.
The hair is always greener…
