I need more fic of Sherlock struggling with his curly hair.
Don’t get me wrong, I do appreciate the many, many fics out there where Sherlock’s hair has some mystical property that allows it to always be perfect, even in very humid or dry weather. And I do respect all those fics where his hair only becomes adorably tousled in the hands of a lover.
But just once, I want to see Sherlock dealing with frizz and tangling and mats that need to be coaxed out with heaping gobs of conditioner. Or Sherlock freaking out because he can’t get an appointment with his usual stylist, who is the only person in London who truly understands his temperamental curls. Or Sherlock refusing to leave the house for a case, not because it’s too boring, but because he has this one idiot curl that won’t fall in the right direction and he simply won’t be seen like that. Or young Sherlock, having spent years cropping his hair close because it’s such a nuisance, finally making peace with his curls and letting them grow out.
Give me all the curl angst.
