I’m exactly the same! And I’m always on the quest for decent curly hair products. Every time I go to the hairdresser they’re like “oh, it’s so thick” ha ha ha.
But I do like the feral aspect of it. Although I still dream of long silky straight hair. And for a while I had that when I used straighteners. But it felt inauthentic and like I was hiding my true self 😀
