Unlike most others, we curly haired people, have to face a lot more obstacles than one can imagine:
Every morning, my curls and my comb go into war where my curls refuse to give in until the comb breaks and my comb would fight until its dying breath.
In my school, we students are forced to braid our hair for school. But what the school management refuses to understand is the fact that, "The beauty and sheer essence of my hair is in my curls." And its practically impossible to still have curls in your hair after you've braided it for 10 yrs. So what do I end up with? "Frizzy wavy hair".
Oh, criticism for us is like the "Buy 1 Get 1 Free Offer", we get it even if we like it or not. People are like, "Why don't you try oiling your hair?". Well, even if there is 2 liters of oil on my hair, it would still be frizzy. (Probably did exaggerate on this fact a bit)
We have reached a point in life where we've stopped caring about people calling us "Dora" or "Noodles" or whatever. We have more important things to care about, like our curls <3
Seriously, curly hair is nothing like what they show you in the shampoo advertisements. Its messy, very unruly, dirty and disgusting - kinda like me.
Take it from me, if you have straight hair, KEEP IT. Honestly, I hate it when straight hair people look at my hair and go like, "OMG curly hair!! Its so cute! I totally want them. You're such a lucky girl!!" I'm like, "Honey, You gotta be careful what you wish for. You have NO IDEA what I have to go through everyday."
No, straightening, smoothening, ironing or doing whatever damage you can to your hair, DOES NOT HELP. So, don't even bother trying them out, waste of money. ( I speak with experience)
We don't actually have "Bad Hair Days". Everyday is a Bad Hair Day, and sometimes our hair decides to make our lives more miserable.
"No Conditioner is NOT an option for us." Thank God for them because without conditioners, my hair is as good as coconut fiber - Rough and Useless.
Dear curly haired girls, " DO NOT EVER GO TO THE BEACH WITH YOUR HAIR LOSE. 5 mins later, you'll wish you were never born."
I wouldn't say curly hair has always been a disadvantage for me. If you have frizzy curly hair, or if you live in India, you would understand if I say that the curls can increase your height. ( The curls bounce up that high, that it adds to your actual height. )
Though I may talk like I probably hate my hair and I might occasionally say, "I don't mind trading all my gold and money for beautiful hair" you and I very well know I wouldn't let a fly touch my hair. (I'm serious)
I might complain like a whiny old arse about curly hair, but I take immense pride when I say, "Hey, I've got something you'll never get. I got curly hair. I'm different; I'm Unique; I'm ME"
