My hair is a loose wavy texture and I have never had an issue with straightening it but also had an issue curling it. I’ve tried using a curling iron and also the wet hair + wrap method, both led to my hair being less wavy and almost straight.
When I use a curling iron it will be curly for a few minutes but ends up almost straight, and by the end of the day my hair is just fully straight with maybe the slightest bit of a curl at the ends. I tried the wet hair + wrap method but maybe my hair being moist might weight down my hair leading to it being loose wavy – kinda straight ish.
Maybe it’s because my hair is longer and healthier that I have a hard time getting it to curl. It used to be a bit easier when I was a teen. I used to use hairspray back then but don’t anymore because I’m careful with what I put in or on my body (autoimmune issues).
