I honestly feel like she's purposely bleeping up her curly hair and making it look worse than it has to be in an attempt to make a point. She's hoping if she shows her followers just "how bad her hair looks naturally" then they will side with her and say, "ok, you're right, it looks bad--you're better off just straightening it." And then she'll be able to go ahead with her self-destructive behavior and not feel guilty about it because she'll have people's backing and enabling. Because she ultimately WANTS to keep straightening her hair; as we've all heard she has a deep hatred for curly hair. Problem is, when she shows her natural hair, she actually gets the opposite reaction: people being horrified by how much she's already destroyed her hair and advising her to cut off heat entirely. At that point, she gets annoyed (or "frustrated," as she would say) that people aren't giving her the reaction she was hoping they would have. I don't know why she KEEPS trying though because she's been harping on about the same things for years trying to persuade people that her natural hair wasn't worth working with, yet people have continuously given her the same advice, which is to embrace her curly hair. You know what they say: "when there's a will, there's a way." If Lily really wanted to fix her natural hair, she could/would. But she has no will. So she's going to keep making every excuse under the sun to justify giving up on her natural hair. And that's the reason why I'll never feel sorry for her, even when she ends up as bald as a coot.
My first reaction when I have a bad hair day is to just tie it up. Considering how much she hated the look of her hair throughout the whole video, I really cannot comprehend how it wouldn't occur to her to put it in a low bun, or ponytail, or braids, or ANYTHING. Heck, she could even have put on a hat or beanie to cover it. She didn't even mention any of these options, which makes me think she purposely just wanted to look as bad as possible for the video so people would enable her straightening it. Everything she did to her hair just seemed to make it look worse. When she kept spraying it with water and adding product to it and shaking it all over the place, I was cringing SO BAD. It was honestly making me physically uncomfortable the way she was handling it. No wonder she feels "dirty" after she's done so much tit to it. She also talked about how she can't sleep with her hair down so she has to put it up "in a pineapple," but "the worst thing about curly hair is that if you tie it up it's ruined" -- and I'm just sitting here like, "hello? You ever heard of a silk bonnet?" Again, just purposely making it worse than it has to be. Most importantly, she's not giving her hair any break by just straightening it on Sunday night rather than Saturday morning. It literally makes zero difference. She was just trying to prove a point.
