I know I’m a self hating weirdo but I feel like I should be allowed to feel more cozy in my skin.

A selfie I dislike, and a selfie I can kinda tolorate https://imgur.com/gallery/6R78NUn

    What would be more flattering honestly, I can never get a clear answer. Also sadly I can’t really try out hair styles since straightening it would be semi permanent.

      The photos look like there might be a decent amount of frizz and/or you might need to trim a half inch due to the ends. That could be lighting or it could be a little on the dry side. If you aren’t already using them, it might be worth looking into a wide tooth comb and some argan oil plus wrapping it at night. Honestly I’d suggest considering going a little shorter than you have it now, like just barely longer than chin length. Don’t straighten it! But do look into hairstyles that you like!

      Your curls are beautiful, but managing them is hard. It takes a while to find out which products work, so you could experiment a bit. It looks like you currently don’t have any layers in your hair, which makes the style look a bit bland. Going to a hairdresser and getting some proper layers would probably do wonders. And as someone else said, a ponytail with your hair would look really nice.

      My hair type is just like yours! Get yourself some curl defining lotion; it helps to tame the frizz!

      I don’t know your personal style, but try out a ponytail. It’s a really cute look with big curly hair like yours!
