Having curly hair is a constant battle. It's fragile and sensitive and oh so difficult to do simple things like brush and style. Not to mention, the weather can ruin a perfect hair day in minutes. Us curly haired girls have it hard. Here's a glimpse into our daily hair struggle.

1. Brushing our hair takes much concentration

It's true, we have to mentally prepare for "wash day" (which is also our only real brushing day). Brushing curly hair when it is dry is nearly impossible.

2. Tangles are inevitable

I can brush my hair thoroughly and get tangles ten minutes later.

3. Which makes us not want to brush our hair at all

I'm very guilty of running my fingers through my hair instead of a brush.

4. People asking you how much your hair cost because they assume it's not real

Just kidding, ours sucks too.

5. The weather controls what our hair will look like

Humid out? Ponytail it is.

6. Straightening it is a nightmare

It's no easy task but the results are oh so worth it (if you have a good straightener).

7. Moisture, moisture, moisture

It makes all the difference.

8. People always ask to touch it

Please no.

9. It's hard to grow out

The look I give my hair because it's been the same length for eight years.

10. It makes popular hairstyles impossible to imitate

Why bother?

11. You have to baby it for it to reach its full potential

I've received looks of astonishment over the amount of hair gel I have to apply to look normal.
