Have unruly curly hair? Is it too voluminous? Doesn't it bother people? Do they always want to touch it? Yeah, I have the same problems. Do you remember all the sleep you lost just to get your hair in the right curl pattern in the morning, or all the time you spent frying your hair under a dryer to keep it straight?
I've cried a million times about the struggles my hair has given me over the past few years, and I'm sure you have, too. Through the hardships that we face everyday just from our hair alone, it's always nice to laugh a little at our pain and cry a little when we have to deal with it. So let's reminisce on our "Curly Hair Problems" together.
1. Every time you straighten your hair, it's a battle with:
Your salon stylist,
Nature.
Or simply just the beast itself.
2. Speaking of combing or brushing the hair, you never do it unless you have to. Detangling is always the way to go, but even then...
3. When we do comb our hair, oh boy, is it a mess.
4. But if you don't comb it for a while, shrinkage is a real thing:
5. How about all the times you tried to do your hair the way the cute vloggers do?
6. "Well if everything else doesn't work, you could always tie it in a bun."
HOW!?!?!
7. Technically, you could just do a wash and go and pray for the best. Or have humidity bite you in the ass.
8. Now going to bed is easy. Your hair is it's own pillow. Perfect for car road trips. But in the morning...
9. What's the worst part? The stupid questions about your hair? Of course that's the worst part. (Like dealing with your hair isn't hard enough.)
The most common questions are:
1. How do you make your hair do that? You know, how do you make it curly?
2. It's so fluffy! Can I touch your hair?
3. Are you sure it's long? It doesn't look like it. I think you cut your hair.
All in all, life with curly hair is hard. It's frustrating, time consuming, and just plain tiring. All I can say is, try not to do this:
Because honestly, at 8AM every morning, this is all I think about. Then I think about how trying just a little every morning, and I can just be proud to have my hair the way it is, just like all the other curly haired girls.
