5 Perks Of Having Curly Hair You Did Knot Expect
Vivian Moussa

My whole life people always ask if my hair is naturally curly. My answer is always yes and that it's been like this my whole life. I didn't however always love my curly locks. As most little girls, I wanted to look like everyone else, and it seemed that everyone else had straight hair.

After going through many awkward phases of brushing my hair (never brush curly hair), only wearing it up, straightening my hair everyday, to finally appreciating my curly hair. Although it took me getting older to love my hair, I would never trade my signature look, and believe it or not, but having curly hair has its perks and here are five of my favorites.

1. Stying is simple

Having curly hair doesn't take much to style once you've found the right products that work for you. After your shower, you just scrunch, dry, and go! Your hair looks neat and done in just a few short minutes.

2. Messy buns look great

My favorite way to wear my hair back is in a bun because it's not only easy to hold the thick locks, but the "messy bun look" has never looked better. A bun that's done right can look cute and professional.

3. Curly hair can rock any color

I've gone from brown, to red, and all over blonde highlighted hair and each time I always receive compliments on the color. Curly hair holds color well and because of the volume, any color, whether vibrant or subtle, looks great!

4. You can wear your hair straight too

A lot of girls who have straight hair struggle with holding a curl, even with a gallon of hairspray, but as long as you have a decent straightener and a couple hours to spare, curly haired girls have rocked the pinpoint straight hair look!

5. It looks good long or short

My hair used to be past my butt, and then one day I chopped it all off to be a cute little lob (a long bob). Curly hair looks great both long and short and although I think short hair fits me now, who knows, I might decide to grow it out again and either way will look fab.

To all my curly haired girls out there, embrace it! Only we can understand one another's struggles of dealing with curly hair, but once in a while, we have to acknowledge the perks too.

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.
