So, we've seen thick hair problems and curly hair problems. What about us gals with textureless, lifeless, stick straight hair? Yeah, I grew up with super soft hair that does absolutely nothing, so I have decided to finally write about the struggles of having long, boring hair.
1. Unless you haven't washed it in, like, a month, no style stays.
How much product you use makes no difference. You wanted to curl your hair today? Nah, haphazard waves will do. You want a cute little bump to accent your half up? Yeah it'll work.. then 20 minutes later it's flat and flopped over to the side.
2. If it's super long, it does even less.
OH, YOU WANTED BEACH WAVES TODAY? Bahaha fun joke, you get awkward ponytail bump hair instead (we'll make sure it's nice and weighed down for ya).
3. Your hair gets stuck in your armpits and then you rip it out when you move.
Idk, all I know is that I better not be the only person this freaking happens to. It hurts and it's soooo annoying.
4. Dry hair = Static = Snarls from hell.
During the winter when it's especially dry out, you're always brushing your hair to make sure it's not a snarly rat's nest but then if you brush it too much, it'll get even more static-y and then... yeah. Congrats, full circle, do it all again.
5. Perms don't work.
I've had three. And only the first stayed for a good amount of time, I'm assuming because my hair was shorter. The next one stayed about a month, maybe two. And the third is an experience I'm not comfortable talking about k thanks bai.
6. Straightening your hair is your go-to.
What hair tool do you grab for a nice dinner? Straightener. For an important meeting? Straightener. Job interview? Hair straightener. Night out? Hair straightener.
7. Messy buns?
HAHAHAHA no. Your hair is too smooth and slippery to stay up in the perfect effortless looking messy bun. If the ponytail isn't wrapped tight enough, everything will fall out. If the ponytail is wrapped too tight, you look close to bald save for the bun itself.
8. Being super soft and smooth is a blessing and a curse.
It's awesome to play with and the perfect bait to make a cute guy play with your hair when y'all are cuddling BUT the second you try to do a braid or anything intricate, you either need 463 bobby pins, cement like hairspray, or a damn wig.
9. Baseball caps R lyfe.
If you went to bed with wet hair and woke up with a cowlick, or your hair just ain't doin' it for ya today: Baseball caps during the spring/summer/fall or fluffy hats during the fall/winter/spring.
10. Some days, though, it all works out beautifully.
You take all the right precautions, use good oils, dry shampoo, the right amount of hairspray and BAM! Somehow, it looks great (but don't think the second day style will work out. That's more rare than a unicorn).
