" 'I was very unsure of myself after the divorce,' she says, unconsciously sweeping back the curls from her forehead."
What's the meaning of "unconsciously"? She isn't aware that she is sweeping her curls back?(She does sweep) or She forgets to sweep(She doesn't but she ought to sweep)? If one explanation is right, how is the other expressed? And, which is better between "the curls" and "her curls". It's confused that "curls" is with "the" and "forehead" is with "her".
