When your hair doesn’t want to just do one thing.

The front portion of my hair (which looks mostly straight (with waves near the scalp) when unhealthy, slightly wavy when healthy) holds onto oil so well that even washing it with coconut milk means I have to use actual shampoo to get some of the oil out, and even then it won’t get all the way out.

Further back, and wavier, that effect lessens.

Further UNDERNEATH, and wavier or even curly, is perpetually dry no matter what I do to it.

Left side is fluffier than the right side by a considerable amount.

Needs to be combed or brushed frequently to detangle it, but that straightens it (at least for several hours) more than I’d like.

And literally ranges from 1c to 3a in different parts of the same hair.  (Although the 1c is questionable, it seems to become 2a when taken care of well..)

It’s like there’s no way humanly possible to take care of all the different parts of my hair at the same time, because whatever I do for one part is bad for another part.
