i'm on vacation rn and don't have my regular conditioner (got thrown away by security smh), so i grabbed a bottle at a supermarket only to notice in the shower that this conditioner contains silicone. "surely it can't make that much of a difference!", i thought, and sure enough my hair looked pretty normal... until it dried:

how it started (mild nsfw: bra)

how it's going

i look like a fuckin bomb went off on my head, this is what i get for deviating from the Curly Girl bible for one day smh

that said, my hair has finally reached the length where it properly catches the wind and gets pulled back and let me just say it feels absolutely glorious
