@curlygirl
I think I had very unrealistic expectations about what I should be able to achieve without product. I was pretty averse to putting anything in my hair at all early on, but I've realized that for certain desired results it's the most reliable solution.

I also wish someone told me early on that it was okay to lean into the way my hair settles between wash days. Right after washing it has the tightest pattern and it relaxes slightly, though not fully, over the following days.

As soon as I realized it was okay to just let it do that, I found it was much easier to manage in a way that actually looks nice consistently, but not necessarily exactly the same each day.
