The problem in english is that “for” can have multiple meanings in this case. It can mean the product is just meant to be used on item X or it can mean it intended to make the product more like X.

In this case, I’m confused because some people with curly hair hate it and want it straighter, so “for curly” hair might make it straightens or at least not make it curlier, while people with straight hair who DO want it curly would want a intentional product “for curly hair” to make their hair curly.

Which is it?

    I was mostly making a joke about bisexuality… but my hair is kind of thick and wavy except for some flat spots. My go-to-solution these days to add a little interest is a home-made sea-salt water spray.

    Sorry for your hair troubles. It’s true for any minority issue–most people don’t know how to treat you, a smaller number THINK they know how but don’t, and only a very few people actually do.
