8 MORE Things To Never, Ever Say To A Curly-Haired Girl
Cassidy Burger

It has taken me nearly 19 years to figure out THE perfect routine for my curly hair. After years of trying product after product, dying it, cutting it, getting layers in it and hating it, trying to straighten it, I've finally learned to fully love my hair. Now that doesn't mean there are days that I don't want to rip it out or shave it off because I definitely have those once or twice a week. I now just know to really appreciate the days where my curls are behaving. It probably also really helps that my name, Cassidy, actually means curly-haired.

Here is a follow-up to a previous article I wrote titled, "10 Things to Never, Ever Say To A Curly-Haired Girl." Here are eight more things to NEVER say to a gal with the curliest of hair.

1. "Why do you wear your hair up every day? Don't you get bored of it?"

Trust me, I do get bored of it. But when your hair only behaves completely one or two times a week you treasure those days and wear it up the rest. Also, do you know how hard it is to do everyday tasks with a giant heap of curls hitting you in the face?

2. "Your hair is extra frizzy today in some sections."

Thank you for telling me something I already knew. Do you want me to tell you when I can see your split ends?

3. "Your hair is kind of shaped like a triangle."

This is what sometimes happens when a curly-haired girl gets a haircut. It sometimes leaves us looking like Hey Arnold. It can be kind of devastating and lead to lots of tears.

4. "So, like how much do you spend on products a month?"

Let's just say that you're saving a lot of money by having straight hair. It's one of the advantages you have over us.

5. "Your hair always is so crunchy looking"

It's either my hair is crunchy and looks good or my hair isn't crunchy and looks like I'm a poodle who just got their hair blow dried. I think you should be thankful my hair is a little crunchy.

6. "How long does it take you to straighten your hair? Can I straighten it sometime?"

I can tell you right now that over the years I've had dozens of friends attempt to straighten my hair. Keyword: attempt. They always promise that they'll finish, but after thirty minutes their hands are tired and they've realized they've taken on a monster that they weren't prepared for.

7. "Is Merida like your favorite Disney Princess?"


Haha very funny. Merida is pretty badass, no doubt about that. But, no. She's not my favorite Disney Princess just because she has curly hair.

8. "How often do you have to unclog your drains?"


Honestly, you probably don't want to know. Let's just say there's always a small hamster shaped ball of hair in my shower drain.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
