Hair is a big bugbear for me. I've got a lot growing back with the help of various therapies, but in the meantime, I've got a topper. Problem is the toppers don't last all that long - I'm on my second and about to buy my third and I'm still learning how to clean it so it retains some semblance of silky smooth hair!

Maybe the leave-on conditioner might help... At least it's cheap.

As a fellow curly hair woman, I can understand the struggle. I think it’ll get a bit easier for you once it grows out more (if you want to keep growing it), and it weighs itself down.

Personally, I’m a big believer in the Curly Girl Method (with some tweaks). I started using it when I started growing my hair and I thought I was a cis man (no signs), and it’s really worked for me imo. Right now I’m going outside more again, and humidity is getting to be a problem so I need to do research on what to do about that.

I DO subscribe to this philosophy! And yes, I basically exist in a liminal hair state. Hopefully the weight of longer hair eventually defeats the wind. 😁
