13 Struggles Of Having Unmanageable Hair
Mavrichi

Ever talk to that person who complains about their near perfect natural hair, while staring at your crazy, frizzy, and unruly hair? Yeah, I totally feel you. Dealing with unmanageable hair is a hassle. Here are some struggles that people with crazy hair can relate to:

1. You spend a lot of time styling it, finally ready to face the world. Thirty minutes after you step outside, especially if you have frizzy hair, it seems as if you didn't even try.

Story of my life.

.

.2. You end up tying your hair in a pony tail, bun, or braid if you don't have time to fix your hair.

This is the safest option for both my confidence and your eyes.

3. You have a whole shelf of products that have made countless false promises.

Anti-frizz, alcohol-free, curl perfecting, damage control...and the list just goes on and on.


4. If you have long hair, you have definitely wanted to cut it short at least once. However, you back out fairly quickly when you just imagine how hard it would be to manage your hair if it was short.

Won't get time to blow-dry or straighten my hair that often, so I'd rather play it safe and keep it at a length that can be tied back when needed.

5. You've actually tried to cut your hair short, but managing it was not as easy as you thought.

I remember when I decided to donate my hair and cut off 11 inches. My hair was very short and reached the middle of my neck. It looked nice when I got it made, but once I got out of the shower and my hair dried, it was horrendous.


6.When you tell people that you have done everything to control your hair, they ask you if you tried using conditioner.

The answer to that is: DUH. Obviously I condition my hair. It is not an option, it is a necessity. Either way, NOTHING WORKS!

7. You go to the salon to get your hair done and the stylist tells you that Keratin smoothing treatment normally lasts a person at least four months. You silently rejoice, thinking that God has answered all your prayers. Wrong.

Two months later, your hair is as frizzy as it was before. Only my luck.


8. When you tell people that you have done everything to control your hair, they suggest that you brush your hair more.

WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. That is the biggest mistake I'd ever commit in my life.

9.When someone compliments your hair after you spent hours fixing it, you feel like crying tears of extreme joy.


10. You find strands of your hair literally any and everywhere.

11. And when you clean your hair brush, you have a mini panic attack.


12. It doesn't matter if you forget to wear your jewelry. You will never forget to wear extra hair ties on your hand.

13. Your hair is the decider of your mood.

And that is precisely why it is so important to you, no matter how annoying it can be.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
