Does anyone else’s family/friends insist that your hair isn’t naturally curly?
Just a fun question I’ve wanted to ask other curly heads. I believe I am one of the only people who has very curly hair in my family and my mom keeps insisting that I’m curling my hair aka “forcing curls” LOL
Their strongest argument is that I need to use products for my curls but none of them seem to get that even if I didn’t use them, my hair wouldn’t magically become straight, it would still be curly just much frizzier with less defined curls.
This is what I use in my regular routine:
• SheaMoisture Hibiscus and coconut shampoo and conditioner
• Umberto Giannini leave in conditioner
• Not your mother’s curl cream
• Umberto Giannini curl whip mousse
• Umberto Giannini scrunching gel
• I diffuse my hair upside down and then SOTC with Olaplex hair oil
Recently I’ve been on a vacation and I’ve been only rinsing my hair with water and letting it air dry and I still had curly hair yet my mom is still convinced that my curls aren’t natural 😭
Is there anyone else who’s dealing with this as well and also finds it super annoying?
