Do not touch our hair

7 Things People With Curly Hair Are Tired Of

People with curly hair hear some ridiculous comments on a daily basis, we hear it so often that we could practically write a book about it. Here are some comments, actions, or questions people with curly hair are tired of.

1. Touching our hair.

It is one thing if we actually know you, but if you are a total stranger you have no business putting your hand anywhere in our hair. It is just creepy, rude, and annoying so please do not do this. I have had random people try to run their fingers through my hair and get stuck. You act like you have never seen hair before, it is just going to feel like how hair usually feels like.

2. "Is that your natural hair?"

No curling wand could ever make curls like this. Yes, it is my natural hair.

3. "It looks better straight" or "You should do it straight more often"

Wow, thanks you just gave me more of a reason not to do it straight. It is our hair if we want to have it natural we will, if we want to do it straight we will, just know it is not because of you. We are sick of the back handed compliments.

4. "Why don't you brush your hair?"

Brushing curly hair will just turn into a frizzy mess. Yes you can comb it while it is wet, but once it is dry brushing your hair will just disrupt your curl patterns, and cause excessive amounts of frizz.

5. Hair salons.

We can never find a good hair salon that can blow out curly hair. I have walked out of salons with my hair partially wet because they did not know how to blow it out. Personally, I feel if you are going to be a hair stylist you should learn how to work on all hair types. It can be frustrating having to research and make sure the place you are going knows how to work on your hair type.

6. Lack of curly haired YouTubers.

YouTube can be very helpful when learning how to manage your hair. While there are a few great curly haired beauty gurus on youtube, it would be much more helpful if there were as many as there are for straight hair.

7. Hair loss.

The amount of hair left after a shower is actually terrifying; you can pretty much make a wig with the left over hair. It is essential that you get one of those hair strainers; this way it does not clog the drain.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
