Hair. Everyone has it, well I guess some people are bald. Anyways, there are many different varieties: curly, straight, wavy, black, brown, blonde, red, etc. You can change the color of your hair, but you can’t change the texture. From personal experience, I can tell you curly hair is not all the time the easiest to deal with. I decided to write about what I experience as a natural curly head. I am sure other curly heads can relate.
1. Frizz…not just a little frizz, a lot of frizz.
Sometimes you unwillingly look like the Statue of Liberty. Other times your hair resembles a lion. The poof is real! Either one is a struggle to deal with, unless that is your hair goals.
2. Spending tons of money on hair products.
Every curly headed girl needs a little mousse and a little gel to contain that mane. Depending on how thick that head of hair is, you can go through a bottle a month. Not to mention you have to keep trying all kinds before you find the product that gives you the perfect bouncy curls that you strive for. Hey, these are natural curls, though, the products just contain all the frizz and lion action. P.S. Fructis is the best!
3. Don’t brush! You’ll ruin my curls!
Every curly headed girl is or SHOULD be afraid of a bristle brush. I sure am. My mom used to do my hair in the morning before school. She would put it in a nice curly ponytail and then brush it with a BRISTLE BRUSH. Bye bye curls, hello puffy tail! COMBS are a curl's best friend. I honestly don’t even own a brush.
4. People love curly hair.
There is never a shortage of compliments about curly heads. “Your hair is beautiful, is it natural?” That is the most common one I hear most of the time. Girls with curly hair take a minute to accept the true beauty behind their curly hair. Growing up was a struggle for me because I hated my hair, but now I love my hair because it’s a hell of a lot easier to throw in some gel than straighten the afro. Compliments always make it easier to accept your own hair. Every person with curly hair at one point in their lives wished they had straight hair. Don't deny the curl, WORK IT.
5. You find curly strands of hair all over the place!
In the shower, on your pillow, on your clothes, not to mention all over the ground. The funny thing is when you're the only one with curly hair and someone sees a hair on the ground “Ewww there’s a stray hair!” and it’s clearly yours because it literally looks like a super skinny curly fry, but you try to blame your friend with the straightest blonde hair ever. It’s fine. You don’t have to be embarrassed, though, OWN THAT HAIR.
