Hi girls, this is my first time posting here. I'm sort of going through something with my hair. I've been straightening it for so long and I had to stop before it became too damaged. Whenever I straighten my hair people give me compliments and tell me I look better with straight hair. My mother also keeps telling me curly hair doesn't look good. Whenever I let my curls down around her she comments on how I need to comb my hair or put it up in a bun. She used to straighten my hair all the time when I was little. She never let my curls show.

Right now I'm doing the curly girl method which means I can't use heat. I don't let my hair down in public because I feel insecure about it. I keep thinking about what all those people told me, that my hair is not as beautiful when it's curly.

If there are any curly girls who went through the same thing with their hair and learned to love and accept it, I'd love to hear about how you managed to do it.

Thanks
