10 Struggles of Curly Haired Girls

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at KU chapter.

1. Your shampoo and conditioner together cost more than a tank of gas.

2. You can’t wash your hair everyday, and if you do – it’s a frizzy mess.

3. You don’t trust any old hair stylist with your mane – you have a specific one you go to every month.

4. You are constantly finding bobby pins in your hair – some from yesterday, some from last year. 

5. Brushing your hair dry? Forget it, you need to brush it when it’s wet – if you even brush it at all.

6. Flat ironing your hair take at least two hours, and curling it takes even longer.

7. You have a whole basket of hair products – all that you use on a regular, nightly basis. 

8. Putting your hair in a ponytail is the only thing you can do sometimes – especially on hair washing days. 

9. Hair washing is an event that takes all day.

10. You constantly have people touching your hair – and it’s awful; it ruins the curls instantly.
