Hello everyone! Here I am, when I should really be sleeping 'cause I have to go to work tomorrow. Hurray, me. There were no buses today - some kind of meeting, or strike or whatever and they didn't even warn anyone about it! -, in the morning and I had to get my puppy to the vet somewhere in the afternoon, so I traded my day off and this is how you lose your Saturday! ;)
Anyway...what the hell am I doing? Let's talk about curls! Yes, CURLY HAIR. A blessing and, somehow, a curse.
My hair is naturally curly. It always has been and it always will be - hopefully. BUT for the last couple of years I've been doing it some - gosh, this is hard...I have just the right word in my main language but in English I just can't seem to find one - bad...things - sorry LOL. I did a permanent hair straightening, I painted it black - partially -, and then blue...and then some kind of brown/red and then dark brown - trying to save the mess my hair became after the "blue" experiment (read about the whole experience, here). Not completely satisfied, I did yet ANOTHER straightening, which didn't work.
And this brings us where I am TODAY. My hair is a disaster. Completely messed up. I lost my curls AND my hair is definitely NOT straight. It's just...stupid, you know? I kinda miss my curls, although I do think they don't actually "fit" the shape of my face and, basically, I don't know what to do. I hate the idea of having my hair short but, this way...it makes me wanna go medieval on it!
I really like my curls, I really do, but - and you WILL understand this if you are a part of the "curly gang" - it's NOT easy and I was just tired. Why? Well:
- At school, kids mock people with curly hair. They used to call me things like "witch" or "mane girl" (something like that) or simply saying that I had a "wig". I actually acquired this nickname: Hermione! But they couldn't spell it right - the ignorants -, so I simply became...Harry Potter - and, yes I wore glasses AND I was kind of a nerd so...yeah...LOL;
- At work, they claim your hair is always messy and you should straight it because it will make you look "more professional";
- If your unemployed - which I've been - the same applies in an eventual job interview;
- In Winter it's just the worse because of the moisture - on the other hand, in Summer time, at the beach with the ocean and all...it's awesome, your hair will look GREAT - true story;
- During AND after taking a shower you have to apply millions of products so that your hair looks shiny and soft and, basically, manageable;
- You have, like, three possible hair styles to choose from...it's really hard to innovate.
Also...I have a fringe, which makes everything so much more complicated 'cause you simply CAN'T have a curly fringe. You have to choose between a curly hair and a fringe, you can't have both. But, you know, some people just wanna see the world burn.
Anyway, I hope you liked this post and, hopefully, you can relate to it. If you have some advice for me, I'll gladly take it! Comment below and let me know what you think!

Thank you! See you later, alligator!
Just of the top of my head: have you ever tried having your hair in braids?
ReplyDeleteI can sort of relate to your problem when mine is REALLY long.
PS. Have you ever thought of doing really short, Ginnifer Goodwin style?
It's really difficult to have a decent short hair when curly. Unfortunately, it would not look anything like Ginnifer's xD AND my face is a round shaped one so...not a good face for short hair. I'd look like a child!
ReplyDeleteI thought about braids when I was like 15 or something. Today that's not something I'd want to try ;P
Thanks for your comment, 'though! :D I'm open to suggestions LOL
