Sure, natural curls are pretty, but the upkeep is tiring. There are a lot of struggles when it comes to maintaining your natural curls. Here are a few:
1. Straightening it
On those days when our curly hair doesn’t want to cooperate with us, it’s time to turn the dreaded hair straightener on. You love the way your hair looks after it’s done, but the process takes a lot of time and patience.
2. Getting a brush or a hair tie stuck in it
Grab the detangle spray before something else gets stuck in your hair. Brushing your hair if it’s tangled can be scary, you risk having to cut one of your hair ties out of your hair or having to pull your brush out of your hair hoping you can do it without hurting yourself.
3. Frizz
Frizz is almost guaranteed with curly hair. Why do our curls have to be frizzy? Why can’t they just be perfectly intact?
4. Humidity
Humidity is curly hair’s arch nemesis. You can go out with your hair curly and actually working, then look in the mirror and realize humidity made your hair frizz and poof up x1000.
5. Falling asleep with wet hair
Falling asleep with wet hair is never a good idea. Most of the time you will wake up with an outrageous case of bed head.
6. Shedding
You find your hair all over the place, it’s inevitable. You always find your hair on your clothes, and you’ve found a stray hair on your arm and thought it was a spider.
7. It’s unpredictable
You never know what kind of hair day you’re going to have until you wake up and look in the mirror. Your curls could be perfectly in place, or you could look like Medusa.
On those days when you wake up and have perfect curls, you appreciate your curly hair. But most of the time it’s you vs. your hair, it definitely has a mind of its own.
