My hair looks the way it does, flat on the top, curly after that, from always wearing it in a ponytail.
In the Avatar pic, it's brushed out and shaken a little. It's actually much curlier.
The curl goes pretty much to the top, only the weight straightens it out, if at all.
Maintenance is brushing it, using some stuff to keep it soft and then tying it back until the next day.
Pretty low maintenance. Cut to any shorter length and it goes everywhere.
I used to wear it like that, it's always pretty wild.
Wash it and towel dry it only enough so it isn't dripping wet.
Never ever used a hair dryer, except for once. It looked ridiculous.
Best just to let it do what it wants to.
I have it long and stopped trying to deal with it a few years back.
This is just one of several times I've done that.
I consider it to be low maintenance when all I really need to do is tie it back and forget it.
