It’s no shock that people have different hair types. You go from thick to thin, curly to straight, and long to short. But for my girls who have thick hair, like me, these are relatable pictures of what our life is like while having thick hair. Here are things that we can all relate to.
1. Leaving your hair "natural".
As this sentence in itself is literally a joke, some people will actually expect us to do it. Others who don't live like we do do not understand that as soon as we step foot outside of the door and feel the humidity, our hair is not only going to grow but it is going to grow at a rapid speed and quite possibly consume the entire environment around us.
2. When you lose so much hair during a shower that it just sits all in the bathtub and consumes every inch that it can.
Showering is stressful with thick hair especially when you're at a friend's house because your hair will literally just fall out. This may seem like a good thing because hey that means less hair which means less thickness, but this is SO not true. It's like the hairs fall out and are immediately replaced causing no change to your hair at all, but causing the shower you are showing in to be filled with dead hair. It's honestly disgusting.
3. Brushing your hair is a form of working out.
If your hair isn't tangled, you think something is wrong because hair like ours is ALWAYS tangled. And brushing out these tangles takes forever and it hurts. No wonder we lose so much hair, I mean our hair so stubborn that it is literally being pulled out of our head in order to live a tangle-free life. Also, if you pull too hard, you risk breaking the brush. That's not a fun thing to do because after a while you end up spending so much money on brushes when you could be buying food.
4. Having the willpower to blow dry your hair.
This statement is a joke. Blowdrying your hair takes up a good portion of your life, but if you decide to just let your hair air dry, it takes even longer. There is no win here. You have to choice to wait hours and hours to air dry your hair or physically put effort into blowdrying your hair which takes at least an hour to do.
5. Straightening your hair to fix this problems takes up a few hour of your life that you will never get back.
To the people who are reading this and think "Oh, well then just straighten it and tame it." That's not an option unless there are hours in the day that do are not taken up by our actual life. For us ladies with hair that is thicker than any other part of our bodies, it takes a good hour and a half AT LEAST to make our hair look somewhat decent and not frizzy.
So many people don't understand what it's like to live with such huge hair and as a person who has lived like this her entire life, I can hoenstly say I wouldn't trade my thick hair for the world. After a while, you grow a bond and this bond is unbroken.
