10 Struggles Of Having Curly Hair

Having curly hair is truly both a blessing and a curse. You love your hair, but you also kinda hate it. Some days it annoys the hell out of you, and other days you can't imagine life without it. It is one of your favorite things about yourself, and at the same time your least favorite. Curly hair is a beautiful burden that some people are just blessed to carry.

1. Sometimes your curls aren't curlyenough.

I don't know why, but some days my curls just aren't feeling it and basically take the day off without letting me know. My hair becomes some kind of wavy mess and it's very irritating and confusing.

2. Shampooing

You know you have to wash your hair, but shampoo actually destroys curly hair. It actually dries your hair out so much you could start a fire with it, and no amount conditioner would fix that.

3. Conditioner

You mostly use conditioner and cleansing conditioners, because, of course, shampoo dries your hair out too much, but most conditioners do the same. So, you're always trying new conditioners, hoping to find the perfect one that really hydrates and isn't a liar.

4. Other hair care products.

Just using conditioner for curly hair is never enough. A leave-in conditioner is always usually necessary if you want your hair to be soft and hydrated, not brittle and disgusting.

5. Spending money on all the aforementioned products.

Quality haircare doesn't come cheap, especially if you want it to actually work, and work well.


6. Humidity

Hydration is wonderful, but high humidity makes having curly hair almost unbearable. It gets so heavy and full of moisture, and if it's super hot you might be dripping in sweat. Very gross and annoying.


7. Hats

Hats either just look really weird on you or they don't fit right because your hair is so big. Or they just feel weird.


8. Swimming doesn't sound fun anymore.

You don't want to ruin the product and hard work you put into your hair, and imagine the damage the chlorine will do to it and especially how it will look after you're done swimming.

9. People always want to play with/touch your hair, and they are not allowed.


10. It sheds a lot.

Your hair is probably all over your home and it is definitely annoying your family or friends.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
