21 Awkward Moments Everyone With Curly Hair Understands

    DON'T TOUCH MY HAIR.

    1. Trying to put on a hat, because why not, and realizing your hair is too big for it.

    2. Breaking your hair tie on a bad hair day and being completely helpless to do anything about it.

    3. When you make the mistake of trying to brush out a knot in your hair, only to find THOUSANDS MORE.

    4. Any time (and there are many) when a brush actually breaks after you use it on your hair.

    I know my hair is thick, but really Brush? I think you just gave up. #curlyhairproblems

    5. Every winter, when all moisture gets sucked out of the air and your curls become a dry, lifeless abyss.

    6. And every summer, when all of the humidity in the air collects directly on your hair and unintentionally makes you 2 feet taller.

    7. Trying a new stylist and realizing they have no idea how to style curls, but it's too late...

    #curlyhairproblems I look like a damn poodle if I brush my hair when it's not wet lmao 😐😁😅

    8. Or when someone wants to "play" with your hair, and you have to slap them before they make it go completely to hell.

    9. Making the decision to rock bangs with your curls, and then having the "flip" happen when you try to blowdry them.

    #curlyhairproblems blow dying bangs and I look like I have mini Devil horns. <3

    10. When you put a bobby pin or barrette in your hair, and can't find it... maybe for days.

    Story of my life!! #BlessedMess #curlyhairproblems

    11. If you straighten your hair, and the inevitable baby curls that happen as soon as humidity strikes.

    When your hair is straightened and you take a shower. 😩 #CurlyHairProblems

    12. Or lord forbid it RAINS, and then your hair is just totally fucked and you kinda wanna cry a little.

    13. When you're trying to explain to someone how annoyingly long your hair is, and they say, "It doesn't look long..."

    14. Getting an actual headache because your ponytail full of curls is so damn heavy.

    15. When you complain about your hair and someone suggests, "Why don't you just straighten it?"

    16. And when you DO straighten it, that period between blowdrying and flat ironing, when it's just MASSIVE.

    17. Taking a QUICK cat nap and waking up to discover your hair has forsaken you.

    18. When you're having a really unwieldy curl day and people call you out on it.

    19. Making the mistake of showering right before bed and having to decide how best to proceed...

    20. Because when you fall asleep with wet hair, nothing good ever comes of it. Ever.

    21. And when you look in a mirror on an AMAZING curly hair day, and realize your hair is so big and beautiful, it will likely take over the world... (and there's no way for you to stop it!)
