I have no snarls at the back of my head. The hair there is straight and soft, illogically. The tightest curls are at the front, which makes no sense. The "kitchen" is supposed to be the test of good hair.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

“Not dead yet!”
I'd come home with basically one huge tangle, which would take my mom about a week of working at least an hour a night to get through. Is it just a curly hair thing?
Nope-- fine straight hair can have a tendency to really snarl up miserably too, especially right behind the ears and down at the nape of the neck. And it's easy with straight hair to pretend it's not happening as long as you keep the top layer brushed.

Hmm. Interesting. My sister straightens her hair, and she seems to get much fewer tangles than I do. And her hair was definitely as much trouble as mine when we were kids.

Is the hair at the nape of your neck tighter curled than the rest of your hair? That's the tendency with black folk, for it to be nappier than the rest.

Definitely. Tightest curls at the nape of the neck, loosest at the front around my face. Leading to a lot of really horrible haircuts from stylists who don't know what to do with curly hair and assume that, if they cut it all one length when it's wet, then it will be all one length when it's dry. (My hair gets pretty close to pulled straight from the weight of the water when it's wet.) My favorite stylist will always look at and feel my hair when it's dry, before the shampoo, and also factors in the curls boinging up when it's shorter and they don't have the weight of longer hair pulling them down.

Huh, cool. Classification of different types of curly hair. [link] I think the back of my head is 3b and the front is somewhere between 3b and 3a. My sister's 3a, my dad's 3b, and my mom is either 3c or 4a.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I was thinking the same thing, Jilli. The answer, of course, would be bloomers. Ruffled, black bloomers.

Well of course, and I own some, but ... bloomers are for wearing under petticoats! (In my world, at least.)

Maybe there's some sort of riding skirt that would work...

Funny how there's so much aesthetic overlap between western wear and goth.
Jilli could wear this.
Oooh, they've got a buggy coat.
