My name is Angela and I'm a 25-year-old Illustrator living in Bangalore, India. Don't get me wrong. I will choose my curls over straight hair any day. But let's face it: Curly hair is high maintenance.
This little post highlights some of the problems of having curly hair. Know any more? Drop a comment!

Sometimes when I spend a long time on my hair, I'll walk backwards to avoid the wind messing it up. My brother doesn't understand so he just stares at me all confused 😛

Walked in the remnants of hurricane Jose today in Boston. I don't think there's a word to describe what my hair looked like at the end. Curls + rain + very high wind = rat's nest of the highest calibre!

I know my approach will be annoying to many, but seriously, as a straight haired woman, I guarantee you we don't have it better. We also get our hair all over our face and look like witches when the wind is done. And if the wind is too strong, combing our knots is very painful indeed and the hairbrush gets full of hair. Wind in straight hair really only looks good on TV.

Amen...I have that glorious in between hair where it's not quite straight but it's not quite curly and I feel like no matter which hair type you have it comes with its own horrific set of problems.

Oh, no! this one is suuuuuch a problem!! It is SO hard to find a stylist that actually KNOWS how to cut curly hair!!! Once you find them, you must never ever let them go!! I made that mistake once, and now I can't find someone who cuts my hair JUST LIKE I WANT IT.

It's so hard to find good quality hair products for curly hair! Whenever I find something they discontinue it...I should just order in bulk & be done with it.

I feel like you just told my story, I hardly ever wear my hair down for curly hair reasons. But when I do someone always says "I wish my hair was that curly." And I just look at them like, really, really? Do you think this s**t is a game?

I've been learning how to deal with my curly hair for 70 years. I still haven't perfected my technique. There's always the hope that the NEXT product with be the one. My hair is white now and curly as ever.

I'm 40. I made a deal with my hair. It does whatever the hell it wants to and I just accept it. Some battles can only be survived not won. Full surrender has its upside.

My hair is kept about 4cm long all over for EXACTLY all of the above reasons! I SOOOO relate ! Jackie. I am 55yrs - going white fast, and the curls are now frizzes...
Trisha Dragon 8 years ago
I just want a stylist who knows not to cut mid frigging curl. $60 to walk around with a head full of cowlicks. And why oh why is there no mention of strangers touching your hair?! JFC I hate that. They don't even ask most of the time. I AM NOT A POODLE DAMN IT. If I was, I'd bite your a*s. Off topic but I've worked with some of the most aggressive breeds and standard poodles are the least breed I've ever encountered. Id

Ouch, I already start to feel sorry for curly-haired people. You really seem to have lots of problems. I've got a very thick hair that normally resembles a bush but at least it's fairly easy to brush and maintenance. I think that if I had a curly hair I would've committed a suicide by now! I really hate to spend time on caring for my personal look.
