Super frustrated with my types..help!

[newnatural]

I have been all natural for about 8 months now, after transitioning for over a year. Thing is this I have never wore my natural hair out, and curly mostly because I cant.
The right side of my hair is tighly coiled and the left side has a wavy z pattern. Problem is my hair is two different lengths. Im trying to go easy on the blow dryer and flat iron, but i dont wanna walk around with a lop sided head.. Does anyone have any style ideas, for my combination mess?

I am a huge advocate of a messy puff high or low and buns. That may help to blend the textures together and it is quick and easy.You can also flat twist the front back and then puff the rest too.

Have you tried doing coil-outs, twist-outs, braid-outs, etc? Most ladies have more than one type and I know that I can't really wear a wash n go like I used to because I'm growing my hair out and with that, the differences in textures are much more apparent.

All of those styles mentioned help to make the patterns a bit more uniform and easier to wear out.

Yep, I know EXACTLY how you feel! I have a "4b" patch on the right side of my head, that draws up like a window shade...and I've just learned to work with it. When it's stretched out, it's as long as the other side of hair.

When I do twists, sometimes I'll stretch out that section beforehand, and allow it to dry a little...to elongate it. But truth be told, that's only when I'm not too tired to care...which ain't often.

It's part of the quirkiness of the kinks, and it's what I've grown to LOVE about kinky, coily hair.
