#CurlyHairProblems: 5 Struggles All Curl-Heads Deal With Every Day

#CurlyHairProblems, it pops up on twitter about once a month and you'll find a whole bunch of females going on rants about the problems that arise from having curly hair. It isn't easy having curly hair, on the contrary, it's quite the challenge. The frizziness, the amount of money spent on hair products that won't even work for your hair, the problems just continue adding up. Here are some of my biggest problems when it comes to my curly hair.

1. Shedding..... EVERYWHERE

Like my mother sometimes says, if I were to commit a murder, they'd know it was me as soon as they entered the crime scene because my hair ends up everywhere all the time. Don't get me started on the shower, I leave hair in the drain when I don't even mean to.. Talk about disgusting.


2. "Can I touch it/play in it/straighten it?"

The amount of times I hear these questions is absolutely ridiculous. No, no and definitely not. I don't want your dirty hands in my hair, and It takes hours (literally 3/4 hours) to straighten my hair, you don't want that problem. Thanks for asking but no.

3. Air drying takes up a whole day

I've literally had days where I wash my hair in the morning and in the evening time it is still damp in some places.. How this happens I have no idea but it drives me up a wall.


4. "Is that your real hair?"

The amount of times I hear this question is even more ridiculous than the amount of times I hear the questions in Curly Hair Problems #2. If I did get fake hair one day, I promise I wouldn't buy what my natural hair looks like. To me, that is a mess I'd rather not deal with everyday.


5. Finding a hairdresser to tame the beast

Most hairdressers run from doing my hair, and honestly I probably would to. I take out my hair from a ponytail and it looks like a lion's mane was just unleashed in a salon, and It never ends. I have so much hair, I could give away half of it and still have a full head of hair. This is why my hairdresser are few, and as of now, I can only go to Dominican hair salons to get the beast tamed.

Even after all this, I've learned to love my curly, messy, hair as I got older, and after a few days of having it straightened, I miss the tangles and the headaches that come with my curly hair. God bless us women who have these #curlyhairproblems, keep looking cute with your big hair.

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
