Riding the Wild Horse of My Curly Hair　暴れ馬ような私のくせ毛

My curly hair had been a source of concern since I was a schoolgirl. Nothing seemed to work: drying, brushing, or pinning it up didn’t help, and whenever it rained or I sweated, my hair would spring back into curls. I ended up hiding it by tying it in a ponytail or putting it in a bun. It felt like trying to manage a wild horse.

Everything changed when I came across an article online about caring for curly hair. The key was simply to stop fighting it. According to the article, everything I had been doing was wrong. I cut my hair short, ditched shampooing, and stopped blow-drying and brushing it. The next morning, my hair exploded in every direction. But after dampening it slightly and applying some styling gel, my curls looked amazing, as if they had been styled on purpose.

Now, my hair is easier to manage, costs less time and money, and looks more like me than ever before. I couldn’t be happier.

子どものころからくせ毛に悩んでいた。ドライヤーをかけたりブラッシングしたり、ピンでとめたりしても、雨が降ったり汗をかいたりすれば、髪はくるくるし放題だ。伸ばした髪をポニーテールにしたりお団子にしたりしてごまかしていた。言うことを聞かない暴れ馬を飼っているような気分だった。
大人になり、カーリーヘアとの付き合い方をネット記事で見て、ようやく髪をどうすればいいのかわかった。髪は勝手にくるくるするのだから、抵抗しなければいいのだ。その記事に書かれていたアドバイスは、今までしてきたことをすべてやめるように書いてあった。私は髪を短くし、シャンプーも、ドライヤーもやめ、ブラッシングをやめた。朝起きた時の髪はまさに爆発だ。でもその爆発は、少し濡らしてボリュームを抑えた後でスタイリングジェルを付けたら、クルクルの髪はわざわざパーマをかけているような見た目になった。
今までよりも手間もお金もかからないのに、ずっと自分らしい髪型になって、満足している。

This is a bit of an unusual title to read in English, but it's how I would translate your Japanese title as well. Another way could be "Living Curly-Haired Like a Wild Horse"

Well done! I can relate as a fellow curly-haired person. Straight (or straightened) hair was trendy when I was growing up, so I used to feel conscious about it. But now I enjoy growing my hair out so it could form bigger curls! 😆

Thank you! I’m glad to meet another curly-haired fellow. Some people pay top dollar just to have their hair curled. Haha.

cute title!!!!!

It's good. Alternatively could also say "a source of frustration"
