Growing up with curly hair in South Louisiana has been one of the biggest struggles of my life! The humidity, surprise rains, and the heat are a curly haired girls worst nightmares! 20 years later and I'm still fighting to find products that work in every season and every kind of weather! I think all of my curly haired sisters can agree, our curly locks can both be a blessing and a curse! Here's a list of 20 things all curly haired girls can relate to.
1. You can't really plan hairstyles ahead of time because you never know how/if your curls will cooperate.
2. It's nearly impossible to find a product that actually does what it says it will.
I've tried them all.
3. Then when you finally find that perfect product it costs almost as much as your biology textbook.
4. You usually give up midway through styling and let your locks do whatever they please.
Why do I even try anymore?
5. You look and feel differently depending on whether you wear your hair curly or straight.![]()
6. When your straight haired friends wake up, brush their hair, and leave.
7. You'd never dream of trying to brush/comb your hair while it's dry.
8. People always want to know how you get your hair so curly.
Water...just...water.
9. People always have opinions on whether you should wear your hair curly or straight.
10. People always want to feel your curls.
It took me 3 hours to tame this!
11. Humidity is your worst enemy.
12. Straightening your hair literally takes hours.
13. But it usually doesn't stay straight for longer than a few hours.
14. When you find a routine/product that works, you stick to it religiously.
It might look silly, but it works!
15. You can't blow dry your hair without using a diffuser.
16. You always check the forecast before deciding on a hairstyle.
17. You've accidentally bought a 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner at least once.
18. When your hair washing schedule doesn't correspond with your plans.
I thought I had this all planned out!!
