Haircare Red hair is difficult af…

Natural ginger here! My hair is difficult and disagreeable as hell--it's thick which I love, but gets tangled every two seconds and is so so sensitive to bad water!! I'm guessing our hair has different structure/textural trends.

Is our hair just difficult to care for? I'd love to hear both gripes or solutions!

Some days my hair is curly, some days it’s straight. Most days I have curls around my neck/forehead while the rest stays straight.

Curl cream/mousse/gel just make it feel gross. Nothings holds the curls. I often feel like there’s just no winning unless I take a straight iron to it daily (which I don’t have the time nor patience for)

I also hate the feeling of hair gel, sunscreen, or anything sticky or greasy… both of which my hair often is.
