My Ashkenazi hair is luxuriously thick and so heavy it waves rather than curl. It also tangles, is a nightmare to find a proper product to style it and in the humidity all the underneath tendrils bind up into tiny curls that will knot into a dread in less than a day. I struggle to find a style besides a tight bun or braid. I need help managing my hair. Im stuck trying out products for black women which are too heavy or with those intended for white women which do nothing but create frizz due to being a to " light" product. My children have it even worse. Their father is of Mexican heritage and has thick curly hair as well but it is courser than my own. All of us struggle with styling!!!
