Dear Girls With The Curly Hair,


Ever begin your day by waking up and looking at yourself in the mirror with your curls all over the place? It can be a struggle at times when that happens and when your hair is in all knots, you know you are going to be in a shower for a long time. Your trusty friend the conditioner is going to be your best friend to detangle all of your hair.

Once you have detangled your hair and got out of the shower it's now time to put in your hair products. Hair products are a struggle, especially for curly hair. It is honestly a trial and error process. You go on Youtube and look for reviews on certain products and then when you try it, it doesn't satisfy the expectations that you wanted. It didn't give you that glow or volume you were looking for as you walk down the street in your curls.

In times like this, you become disappointed and don't what to do. You want to have your hair shinning and stunting like people you see on social media, but simply don't know what to do.

You begin to straighten your hair and realize that this is a new fit for you that works and it's much easier to do. However throughout time, you begin to realize that having this straight hair is not you, it's not part of your natural identity. You also realize that you have heat damage to your hair and have to chop off a couple of inches. You are beyond shocked the amount of damage you have done to yourself both physically and emotionally by not being proud of your curls.

So what do you do, you can go back to the whiteboard and look up again hair products that best suit your hair. There are a variety of curly hair types and everyone's hair is different. Not all products may not work to the best of our benefits.

However, if you keep trying someday with proper people you know and some luck you find the best products that will suit your hair! It is a journey to find what you need but along this curly hair journey, you began to realize that just like your body, you tend to take care of your hair too. At the end of the day, just like there are harmful chemicals that can possibly damage our body, there are also chemicals that can harm our hair as well.

So it is important to take the necessary time to research what ingredients you are putting in your hair and what you can do to prevent any damage. Having curly hair may seem like a struggle, but trust me it is a blessing! There are many people who would die to have your curls and there are even people across the world who curl their hair on flat irons to have your curls.

Meanwhile all you got to do is wake up, hop in the shower and apply some products then your good! To all of my curly hair girls, whip your hair back and forth proud as you can! Walk down the streets with confidence in yourself and know that you worth it baby! You are a proud curly hair girl who do not wishes their hair to be straight!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.
