Having curly hair can be a blessing and a curse. There's days when you love it and days when you want to chop it off. These are some of the struggles curly haired people have to deal with on a daily basis:
Curly hair is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get.
Sometimes you wake up and it's in the same state it was in last night. Other days you're wondering what the hell happened to it, and how did its form change. The wind and humidity also has a dramatic effect on your hair. It can go from nice, bouncy curls to looking like a giant poof ball in seconds.
People sometimes ask you if your hair is real.
Yes, my hair is real. No, you cannot touch it.
They also ask why you don't brush it.
If you've never seen someone brush their curly hair, ask them to try it. You're in for a good laugh.
You're always asking other curly haired girls what hair products they use.
After a while, curly hair just won't style with the products you've used for years, so you're always asking for other recommended products to maintain the poof.
You always want to straighten your hair.
Let's face it - even though it can take a few hours to straighten your hair, it's so much easier to maintain that way.
People always say "I wish I had your hair".
Sure, take it! Let me know when it starts getting hard to deal with and you want to give it back.
Haircuts are tough.
If you cut the slightest bit off, it can drastically change the shrinkage of your hair.
And so are hairstyles.
Have you ever tried braiding curly hair? It's pretty darn difficult! If you notice girls with curly hair, they mostly have it down because trying other hairstyles is almost impossible.
You wouldn't trade your curly hair for the world.
Through the pain and suffering of having curly hair, you love your bouncy and voluminous hair and wouldn't trade it for anything else.
