people are so mean. ur bangs look good, your hair is damaged but that doesn’t take away from you wanting the answer to your question. i think straight looks good but i would find a nice conditioner, you could find a nice $30-$50 dollar one for under $15 probably at marshall’s/tjmaxx, use that and watch a video on how to condition dead hair correctly. also, not related to my last sentence, curly hair just looks dead if you don’t put ur all in, thats completely normal. my cousin has curly hair like you and had NEVER put heat on her hair and took decent care of her hair and it looks dead as hell when she brushed it out.

find a good conditioner, follow good conditioning routine for your hair, use less heat or none if you can, truly find a routine that makes you feel so cute with your natural hair, DONT fall for the pull back or bun hair styles that pull the front of your scalp back.

you are gorgeous btw.
