Obsessed with trying to make waves/curls “perfect”

I'm wondering if anyone has any advice.

Since I stopped straightening my hair and started styling my curls, I'm so obsessed with wanting them to look "perfect". I will refresh a ton even when I probably shouldn't be, and just keep washing and restyling them to get them to look perfect.

At the same time, I often make it look worse trying to do this since all the styling makes it look stiff and thinner and sometimes even dries it out. I have type 2C hair, so it's not super curly, but I get so annoyed wanting it to look perfect😅

I really just want to completely embrace my natural hair, frizz and everything, and stop messing with it so much. But I get a bit insecure of it
