In Luz’s case she literally just grew her hair out. I’m Latina, have a similar hair texture to her. It is “straight” and unruly as a pixie but starts to get wavier the longer it grows.

I don’t think that’s completely true. Look at her mom’s hair in both scenes. Her mom also has the exact same “pointed” hair as Luz does in s1, but in the later scene her hair is also curlier with rounded curls.

I do think it’s partially art style, partially choice by the writers.

Her moms hair was pulled up in a tight bun in the first image…

Look at the points of her hair in the first image, and the points of her hair in the second. The first are pointy, and the second have a curl to them, the exact same way Luz’s do.

I stand corrected. It’s been years since I watched the show but I double checked there are moments in S1 where Camila has her hair down and it is straight.

We don't see her with her hair down in season 1, but we do see her with her hair down in s2ep10
