Thick hair is one of the hardest types of hair to deal with. I've had thick hair all of my life, and I've had so many complications and problems with my hair. It's a love/hate relationship. There are many problems I have to deal with every day. I know I'm not the only one that has thick hair, so if you're anything like me, here's 11 things girls that have thick hair deal with.
1. Brushing your hair is impossible.
I used to cry when I was younger every time my mom would brush my hair after taking a bath. Thick hair gets tangled VERY easily, and I constantly have knots.
2. Your hair elastics always break.
I buy these hair elastics at least two to three times a month. There have been so many times where it was hot out or I was at work and all of a sudden my hair elastic would snap. I always try to bring an extra one just in case because it happens way too often. If I don't bring one then I simply just cry.
3. Getting a hair cut takes at least two to three hours.
Going to the salon should be a fun relaxing time, but for me I have to make sure I don't have any plans for the majority of the day. Plus I have to make an appointment at like 10 in the morning and then I don't get out until two.
4. Thick hair when it's humid out is an absolute nightmare.
This is literally what my hair looks like in the summer. All you can do is put it up in a pony tail and hope no one sees you take it out of the pony tail.
5. Straightening or curling your hair takes way too much time and effort.
It usually takes me about one to two hours just to straighten my hair. I don't even bother curling it because it ends up not staying curly.
6. And forget about ever blow drying your hair.
I do not even attempt to do this. I just let my hair air dry usually because blow drying takes way more time and energy.
7. Constantly having to buy more shampoo and conditioner.
The amount of shampoo and conditioner I have to use to cover my entire hair is RIDICULOUS. I'm constantly running out and dropping loads of money.
8. And crying whenever someone only has the 2 in 1 shampoo for you to use.
THIS STUFF DOES NOTHING FOR MY HAIR. It SUCKS. The only people that should be using this are boys.
9. When one of your friends tries to say their hair is thicker than yours.
They are absolutely wasting their time. I have not met one person yet who's hair is as thick as mine.
10. Trying to figure out why you were cursed with thick hair.
Sometimes I really wish I didn't have thick hair and think about how easier my life would be if it wasn't so thick.
11. But then you remember that you'll never have to worry about going bald.
Thick hair for the win!!!
