The Woes Of Having Curly Hair
Curls are fascinating to those who don’t have them and can be a constant struggle for those who do.
1. People have a special fascination with curly hair.
“Wow, look at your hair!” As if you hadn’t noticed…it’s on your head.
5. No matter how many times you warn people, they just don’t listen.
7. You spent your entire childhood attempting to control it…
9. But you quickly wised up to the secrets of the curly world.
11. Hair brushes are the enemy.
(Unless your hair is soaking wet and smothered in conditioner).
14. If it’s raining, you might as well just give up.
16. The phenomenon of hair shrinkage is a mystery.
17. People don’t understand your deepest fears:
18. You stick to the one “curl friendly” salon, to avoid looking like this.
24. You suffer through commercials targeting curly hair, with non-curly hair models.
26. If only you lived in the ’80s, when big hair was beautiful and life was good.
27. Every once in a while you may fall into the trap of straight-hair envy.
32. …the important thing is, Harry Styles can.

primavolta 3 months agoWe always want what we can’t have. I have very fine, straight hair. I’ve basically given up on hairstyles and bangs - I don’t need my business thinned out any more than it is, tyvm. When I put my hair into a bun, I just get the saddest little ball at the back of my head. I’ve had friends complain that their hair was thick and I just want to be like “JUST THIN IT OUT THEN! THIN IT OUT!” It’s much easier to cut hair out than to put it in. Anyway, still easier than having really curly hair, I guess!

The Internet's Very Own Veronica Belmont 3 weeks agoYou can have bangs with fine, straight hair! I actually got bangs because I was sick of my hair never holding a “style.” This way, the style is baked in! To make the bangs thicker, just have your stylist start them back further, pulling more hair into the fringe.

Zombiekitteah 3 months agoWhen my curly hair pisses me off I chop it all off and rock a pixie cut. A week later I am sad and missing my curly hair. Sigh, it’s a vicious cycle.

In my life story of being half black I have to say I can relate to most of these. I have a 90% fear of not having enough product and I remember days before hair product where I would deal with the most horrid frizz. Took me years to learn how to do my hair right and I am STILL learning. I didn’t mind people touching my hair too much when I was aware of them. Sometimes my hair is so big and poofy they’d touch my hair when I wasn’t looking at them (let alone not talking to them) and they’d think I wouldn’t feel it. Of course I feel something that’s being touch by another person. The hair’s attached to my head right??? I don’t mind the curly hair I just wish my hair would go down and stay down. Even when dry!
And seriously conditioner is our best friend & I only brush my hair thoroughly when wet. lol -

To all people with curly hair
I hate to break it to you but for my having str8 thin hair is no picnic either
My hair has to be short in the back since it tangles ugly rat’s nest like tangle up fishing wire and at the center of the ball of tangle is tiny peice of food -

I wish I had curly hair. My hair is naturally stick straight, without even a slight wave, and I hate it. Curly hair is so much prettier. Also, yay for Harry Styles.

Welcome to the world of being black. My hair is IMPOSSIBLE to deal with. I’m actually jealous of white people with curly frizzy hair because even their hair is still more manageable than tightly-packed afro-like hair that breaks even the most sturdy of brushes and takes at least 9 products a day to maintain.

Jordan H. 3 months agoI wish I had curly hair sometimes. I have such straight hair that I don’t need a straightener, it’s straightener straight after I blow dry it. But hairbrushes still suck… And my hair still gets knotted… And having straight hair that won’t hold a curl for two minutes is the worst… No options. Embrace your curls.

triciam7 3 months agoOh goodness, this post made me smile and feel so understood. I recently had a stranger at church sit behind me and start touching my hair. I’m all, “Hullo, lady! Hands off!” I would also add the part where wearing it down makes it feel like I have two wool scarves around my neck. Handy in the winter, TERRIBLE in the summer.
