Thick hair. One of the oldest love-hate relationships. Living with thick hair means days filled with tangles, weather checks to avoid frizz, and lots, and hair coming out in clumps on the hairbrush. Although our love for our hair fluctuates constantly, at the end of the day we're thankful for it (even if we wanted to cut it all off a moment ago). Here's some positives and negatives of having thick hair.
Negative: The constant reminders
"Oh my gosh you have so much hair." "You should get that thinned out." "Your hair must way a ton." "Seriously you have so much hair."
Oh thanks, I hadn't noticed.
Positive: The Best Braids
One of the best fallback hair styles for thick hair is the braid. No matter the braid type, this style is a classic and quick way to control your hair, especially when you need a break from the straightener or curling iron.
Negative: Too many bobby pins
One of the tell-tale signs of a female presence is bobby pins all over the place. Well, double the amount for girls with thick hair. And we manage to lose most of them.
Positive: No bald spots in the future
Age usually brings on bald spots, but people with thick hair have so much that we don't have to worry about it. Too bad it doesn't stop the grays from coming.
Negative: Humidity
Humidity. Thick hair's worst enemy. No amount of product can stop your hair from doubling in size. All you can do is deal with your mane until further notice. Good luck.
Positive: You look fabulous
Despite all the pain and stress you go through because of your hair, you love it. You wouldn't be you without it. No matter how crazy it gets, you and your hair are both fabulous.
