@anemone @mia @paula @lucy @arcana I am genuinely not trying to start an argument but she's right and I know ppl that are professional stylists.

what can happen if you have a curl pattern is that heat damage or bleaching can alter it or make it appear "straighter". Heat damage isn't as bad as bleaching but if you do it regularly your hair won't be the way it originally was. My curls got managable when I stopped frying it once a week to fit in during highschool. The only other thing that obliterated my hair was bleaching because people like me got red pigments in our natural dark hair which makes the bleaching process more intensive than it would be for people with lighter or blonde hair.
