#CurlyHairProblems: 5 Struggles All Curl-Heads Deal With Every Day

#CurlyHairProblems, it pops up on twitter about once a month and you'll find a whole bunch of females going on rants about the problems that arise from having curly hair. It isn't easy having curly hair, on the contrary, it's quite the challenge. The frizziness, the amount of money spent on hair products that won't even work for your hair, the problems just continue adding up. Here are some of my biggest problems when it comes to my curly hair.

1. Shedding..... EVERYWHERE

Like my mother sometimes says, if I were to commit a murder, they'd know it was me as soon as they entered the crime scene because my hair ends up everywhere all the time. Don't get me started on the shower, I leave hair in the drain when I don't even mean to.. Talk about disgusting.


2. "Can I touch it/play in it/straighten it?"

The amount of times I hear these questions is absolutely ridiculous. No, no and definitely not. I don't want your dirty hands in my hair, and It takes hours (literally 3/4 hours) to straighten my hair, you don't want that problem. Thanks for asking but no.

3. Air drying takes up a whole day

I've literally had days where I wash my hair in the morning and in the evening time it is still damp in some places.. How this happens I have no idea but it drives me up a wall.


4. "Is that your real hair?"

The amount of times I hear this question is even more ridiculous than the amount of times I hear the questions in Curly Hair Problems #2. If I did get fake hair one day, I promise I wouldn't buy what my natural hair looks like. To me, that is a mess I'd rather not deal with everyday.


5. Finding a hairdresser to tame the beast

Most hairdressers run from doing my hair, and honestly I probably would to. I take out my hair from a ponytail and it looks like a lion's mane was just unleashed in a salon, and It never ends. I have so much hair, I could give away half of it and still have a full head of hair. This is why my hairdresser are few, and as of now, I can only go to Dominican hair salons to get the beast tamed.

Even after all this, I've learned to love my curly, messy, hair as I got older, and after a few days of having it straightened, I miss the tangles and the headaches that come with my curly hair. God bless us women who have these #curlyhairproblems, keep looking cute with your big hair.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
