I think partly this is because flattening the hair at home is difficult and you don’t get great results. I actually put some effort into my natural hair (gel, scrunch, diffuse dry) to get it to look good curly, and the only other way it looks really good is professional blowout to bouncy straight not swingy straight.
Or maybe it’s because wavy hair rocks! I do think curly and wavy, kinky, any hair with texture is livelier than the smooth and straight hair. Like, curly hair is individual and straight hair is standardized.

I wish my curly hair was uniform enough to be individualized. Different parts of my head stand in disagreement
That is so normal. Come visit !curlyhair@lemmy.world
I have curly at at the crown, wavy at the sides, near straight at the nape. It all looks like loose curls if I style it.
Still would take this over straight hair any day.
