For me personally, it was one of my first insecurities Other kids would touch it without asking (sometimes yanking), some would straight up tell me it looked ugly right to my face, those "ugly duckling transformed" things in moves where they'd have a girl with curly hair get it straightened and now suddenly they're "pretty" didn't help, I couldn't wear it in styles I wanted to, I'd comb threw my hair trying to make it look straight but it ended up a frizzy mess and left it damaged. I became more more secure in it when I started looking at videos to help fix damaged hair. I started surrounding myself with people who had the same hair type as me (Or a tad bit different) and it helped. I would definitely recommend doing that if you feel insecure.

Through* Overall I like my hair, forgot to add that
To people with really curly hair, how has life been with it, do you like your hair?
I have curly hair, but it’s of course not as curly as others. However, I’ve dealt with this head of hair for my whole life and it’s a pain in the ass to say the least lmao.
I had those ringlets as a kid, and a “fro” as a kid. Just aday in humidity, at school, or when sleeping, it would turn into a big tangled disaster. Kids would play with it, pull on my curls and try to separate them, leaving me with a big frizzy head of hair that hurt like hell to detangle. The adults loved it, but the kids around me just wanted to touch and put stuff in my hair.
In elementary school, I would always wear it up in a pony tail because it would be a mess when I got home. Detangling it was a disaster. It got pulled, it got brushed when dry, it got knotted. They brushed out my hair for picture day 😐.
In middle school, I got teased because I was the only girl (yes, literally the only girl) in my small middle school who has curly hair like this. I was bullied because I didn’t have straight hair. So, I started straightening it. I damaged the hell out of my hair. I did that for cheerleading too, because my coach wanted all the cheerleaders to look like eachother, and of course I was the only one with curly hair…
In high school, I started to love it and actually take care of it. I grew it long, I took pride in it because it was considered unique and “exotic” to the people around me. I didn’t get bullied as much in high school, but I was looked at weird and people would call me the “white girl with curls” and it was weird.
When I was a toddler I used to have curly hair. Not exactly as curly as in picture but curly. Now it got straight I don't know how. It is a good transformation nonetheless. Honestly I never liked my curly hair. It didn't suited me. My current slightly wavy hair is more comfortable and suits me well.
Never understood why people with hair like this would want to straighten it when it looks so good how it is conforming to what others have don't make u look good but meh
When I was your age I hated my curly hair. The older I've gotten the more I appreciate my curly hair. Curls can be a handful. Best thing is to get a wide tooth comb brushing can make it frizzy and find products you like for your hair. I have frizzy curly hair and I have to tame it every morning 😂😂😂
