#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.
