Curls fluffy and defined with zero product — and I finally wanted to take a photo of myself again

What I noticed is that I'm currently not using any leave-in products. So the curls you're seeing are without gel, mousse, hairspray, or leave-in conditioner. Right now, I actually don't like putting anything in my hair. I prefer them wilder, more authentic, and more vibrant. Today, I felt like taking a photo. I haven't really wanted to for a long time — every time I turned on the camera, I looked tired, drained, and pretty exhausted. Something has shifted. Overall, I'm in a pretty good mood. Whatever it is — it feels good.
