Coming from a girl who has been blessed with a head full of curls, I can safely say that I have learned the ins and outs of the game, as well as the struggles that every girl with curls will understand. For those that have mastered the art of controlling your curls, kudos to you; you deserve an award. I still question if I will ever be able to truly tame the mane. But let's be real, my curls are my girls, and I love them so much...even if I consider chopping them all off every now and then.

1. Everyday is a humid day.

Simba, humidity is a HUGE matata!

2. The undeniable sore feeling in your arms after blow drying or straightening your hair

Seriously...who needs CrossFit?

3. Your tangles have tangles.

I have never related to any gif more than Mia Thermopolis getting her hair brushed in her pre-princess stage.

4. When someone asks to play in your hair, but you quickly refuse because you're scared of a) getting your hair torn from its roots and b) their fingers getting intricately intertwined with your curls.

5. There are no such things as short showers because your hair takes two or three wash/rinse cycles.

...and don't even get me started on the conditioner.

6. There is always that one curly strand that refuses to cooperate after straightening your hair.

7. Your hair takes up approximately 82 percent of your photos.

8. You may or may not have spent a small fortune on styling products.

9. Your hair is literally EVERYWHERE.

Who knew one girl could shed more hair than 12 dogs and 18 cats put together?

10. Going to bed with wet hair is a huge no-no.

11. Last, but not least, you are always held responsible for the clogged shower drain.

If I had a dollar for every rat resembling blob I pulled from a drain, I'd be one rich girl.
