The 15 Struggles Of Women With Thick Hair

I've got 99 problems and having thick hair is all of them.

The 15 Struggles Of Women With Thick Hair

Don't get me wrong, I love my hair. However, I'm not convinced that having thick hair is a blessing. It's an ongoing struggle that brings woes more often than not.

Here are 15 problems every girl with thick can understand:

1. Hair ties are too tight

You try to wrap the hair tie 3 times and end up losing circulation in your fingers. So, this forces you to leave it at 2 wrap arounds.

2. Hair ties are too loose

Because too tight isn't bad enough, when you stretch a hair tie out too much you are redoing your ponytail 5 or 6 times a day.

There is no happy medium, really.

3. The constant shedding

Your friends always seem to find your hair around their house in just about every room, and because of this, you've thought about carrying a travel vacuum around.

4. Broken hair brushes

Because you have thick hair, you don't have time to be tender headed. So, when you reach a bad tangle, you relentlessly pull at that bad boy, determined to win. All of a sudden, *snap*. Hair brush is broken.

hair: 1 you: 0.

5. Taking 5ever to blow dry

It's a never ending process.

6. Your hair hurting from wearing a pony tail

Probably the worst pain to experience.

7. You have to wake up earlier than everyone to do your hair.

Cause waking up for class just isn't bad enough.

8. If you sleep on it wet, you wake up with a mane.

Bed head is not a cute look. I promise

9. LOL @ pintrest tutorials

....those are just for thin hair girls....

10. Somehow you run out of shampoo waaayyyyyy before conditioner

Like, I really don't understand where it all goes...

11. Your hair literally eats bobby pins.

You can start with a 100 pack of bobby pins and within the month, you're down to 4! Where do they go? Yeah, I'd like to know too.


12. You have to get your hair thinned approximately every 6 weeks.

When you look on the ground after getting it thinned, it literally looks like you have lost half your head of hair. You also have a mild panic attack cause you didn't want it thinned that much.



13. Short hair isn't an option.

The triangle look isn't a cute look on anyone.

14. Curling and straightening your hair actually takes forever.

prepare at least an hour in advance.

15. You can go through a pack of hair ties in about 2 weeks.

You either lose them, or they break. regardless they aren't around for long.

What's the one benefit to having thick hair?

Hair flips are always flawless.

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.
