Every girl with curly hair knows about the multitude of struggles our hair causes us, on the daily. There are so many "curly hair problems" that I think curly hair just might be more trouble than it's worth. Here are just a select few reasons as to why..
1. Oh, did you spend a fortune on hair products? I'm sorry, they'll only last for about a month.
We all know the struggle of using two times the recommended amount of conditioner in the shower. And when you have to choose dropping a healthy load of $ on hair products that you will have to buy again at the end of the month over saving for that purse that you've wanted forever, because if not you'll look like an actual troll that slept under a bridge.
2. R.I.P. to my favorite hair tie.
That depressing moment when you hear the faint snap of the single saving grace that helped you pull back and tame your curls.
3. Humidity is your sworn enemy.
You straightened your hair, you feel great, you look great... don't worry! Stepping outside for .01 seconds can fix that for you! Even though the majority of the time, straightening our hair is absolutely pointless, we just can't seem to stop trying.
4. Accidentally falling asleep with wet hair.
Just don't do it, no matter how appealing skipping the blow dry or staying awake until the curls are dry sounds, DON'T DO IT. That is, unless you enjoy waking up to your hair feeling like a rat's nest and looking let a wet sheepdog.
5. "OMG I wish I had curly hair! Straight hair is so boring!"
Yes! Because ripping out half of my hair while attempting to brush it, spending hours waiting for my hair to dry after a shower only to look like I was struck my electricity, and having to go through an act of Congress in order to pull back or let alone straighten my curly hair is SO MUCH FUN! (Just know there is an implied eye roll here)
6. Haircuts are terrifying.
You desperately need a fresh cut, but you have to run a background check on every stylist before you go to them because they hold the power of possibly destroying you hair. The thought of looking like a member of parliament after your hair being cut too short is not a good one. After all, your hair is your prized possession.
7. The famous question: "Why don't you brush your hair?"
One of three things will absolutely break while you are trying to brush out curly hair: your brush, your hand, or your hair. And if all else fails, you will definitely look like you just survived a trip through the humidifier.
8. When people want to play with your hair.
Sure you can touch it, I would say run your fingers through it, but uh... oh, yeah. You can't, because you'll get caught in tangles, and I cannot promise you that you will be able to keep your hand...
9. You have about three hairstyles you can easily accomplish.
When you try to venture out and look up hairstyle tutorials, and you can't even get past the first two minutes because they require you to brush your hair... Then you have to your comfort zone of buns that look like frizzy pompoms or your natural hair down.
10. The mixed feelings you get when people tell you that you look "so good with straight hair".
Oh, thank you, I'm flattered!.. well I think I am. Do I not look good with my curly hair? I'm confused.
11. You literally just found out how to style it.
Let's just burn everything that involved our hair up until I graduated high school because I'm not so sure those are hair days I would like to reflect on. Let's just pretend all the cringe-worthy hairstyles never happened!
12. Though despite everything, you still like fierce!
What can I say? You take the cards you were given, and you WORK them. Your curls look fabulous and you definitely know it, and so does everyone else.
13. You're left wondering why you ever wanted straight hair!
After all, there is nothing boring about curly hair. You never know what you're going to get to deal with every morning, and no two girls with curls look the same! Your curls make you stand out! Who wouldn't love them!
