I'm not really curly/wavy." I had an irrational fear of my best friend judging me for having curly hair products in my shower when she was staying with me, haha.

Yes! There's a part of me (you know, the evil voice self critic) that says, "You don't really have wavy/curly hair. If you did, you wouldn't need to use any product. People are secretly laughing at you for pretending to be curly/wavy."

I love your point about not having straight hair. Because I also clearly don't have straight hair and never did. What I had was a mom with straight hair that was always telling me (with the best of intentions) to brush my hair

So I had frizzy hair.

Now I have wavy and curly hair, with product and styling knowledge

I know what you mean! It's not that my hair even has all that much more wave in it, I don't think; more like, it's more consistent and defined and less poufy. But in my mind, there are "real" curlies/wavies (the ones who have curls no matter what) and then imposters. And I feel like an imposter sometimes.

But it's pretty irrational, because like I said, if I don't have wavy hair, what do I have? Just awkward bendy hair, I guess.
