Ever since I can remember I've had a big pile of curls on the top of my head. With those big curls came some pleasant compliments and some... well interesting "compliments" or wise words of "advice." Whether these people know or not that they're being, well in the nicest of terms, rude I've compiled a list of things that you should NEVER say to a girl with curly hair. A list that I'm sure even the girl with the slightest bit of curl can relate to.

1. "Your hair actually looks really good today."

It ACTUALLY looks good today? Are you saying it doesn't look good the other six days of the week?

2. "Why don't you just brush your hair? Wouldn't that like get all the knots out?"

Oh, you think I haven't tried that? Unless I'm going for the just blow dried poodle look I'll just stick to not brushing out my curls.

3. "It's just so... big."

Can we please just act like it's not that bad? It's not big. Repeat after me. It is not that big. You should've seen it the time I really did brush my hair. So like I said, it's really not that big.

4. "Does your hair grow? It's been like the same length for years."

Ummm, yeah, it grows. Everyone's hair grows. Mine just happens to grow at a much slower rate and just curls up so you can't tell that it has grown. But yeah, it grows. Just like you straight haired folks.

5. "I feel really bad for you. I could never deal with all that."

I'm glad that I don't have to deal with constantly using dry shampoo and noticeable split ends...so HA!

6. "I bet you hate your hair."

On some days I most definitely do. Especially the exceptionally hot and humid days. But all those other days I consider myself pretty darn lucky.

7. "You should probably just put your hair up."

You have no idea how much product I wasted this morning just to put my hair up.

8. "Why is it like fuzzy?"

I don't know Jessica. Why is your hair a poopy shade of brown? I simply don't know.

9. "Why don't you just straighten it every day? I think that would look better."

Do you really think that I have three whole hours to spare just for my hair? Do you really want to get a whiff of burnt hair every time I walk past you?

10. "Can I touch it?"

It's my hair, not a puppy or a baby. So no, you can not touch my hair. Unless the idea of having your fingers stuck in my hair sounds appealing to you, I'd advise you don't touch it.
