My hair is very straight, without slightest waviness, and due to having androgenic alopecia, i cant use heat or chemicals to curl my hair, as it is harmful for my hair and scalp.

What alternative methods do you use to make your hair curly? It will be interesting for me to read and try it myself.

Yes, i did try brushing the hair in the shower, instead of after, and it really slightly wavy. It is not strong waves, and definetely not curls, but at least now i know that my hair is actually wavy, and not just straight, as i earlier assumed it to be, because i straighened it by brushing after showering, not while showering and brushing while conditioner is applied, until today.
