The Struggles Of Curly Hair

Life is not easy when you have curly hair.

The Struggles Of Curly Hair

No one can deny the fact that everyone hates their hair, especially if it’s curly. For those of you with straight manageable hair: please be thankful, because you have life so easy. Curly hair may be pretty and cute and all, but the only reason it looks cute is because someone woke up a few minutes early in the morning to make it that way.

  • If you have curly hair, you know the struggle of always running out of conditioner before you run out of shampoo.

  • Sad fact, it is possible to lose a bobby pin in the wilderness of your hair till next morning when you're in the shower.

  • People think it is OK to run their fingers through the curls. (By the way, that is not OK, because you totally just messed up those curls).

  • Not only do you use more conditioner than shampoo, but you also have to buy more conditioner to nourish the curls.


  • Those straight haired-people do not have to do their hair every single day (we hate you all).
  • One wrong move and your hair will get tangle in anything that is within its reach.

  • Sometimes you think you’re going to have a good hair day, but then humidity ruins your day and makes you look like a poodle.

  • It is almost like you have a fight to beat every morning because curls can be stubborn and do not do what you want them to.

  • You can’t have your hair too short, because if you did, it would just be an afro.
  • A girl with curly hair will always carry a hair tie, because you never know when your hair might start wilding.
  • Constantly having to buy styling products. It gets expensive!


  • Brushing your hair while it's dry is not an option.

  • You shed like a dog.
  • When you wake up, there is no way of controlling the craziness.

  • It takes hours to straighten your hair (so you never do it).

  • Sometimes you really just want to shave your hair off.


I guess some people could say that curly hair is a gift while some could say that it is hell. Curly hair is not fun. It is constant dealing with frizziness and knots. But after all the struggles, it is still beautiful and you have to embrace it. For those of you with straight hair: seriously, be thankful that your life is not filled with extra work and craziness.

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.
