Girl please, this is what it’s really like to have curly hair

No, Blake Lively’s waves are not curls.

Curly hair. Everyone who doesn’t have it wants it and those who do have it, let’s just say it’s a love/hate relationship. 

Trying to understand what it’s like to have curly hair is like trying to imagine what it’s like having a baby. You’ll never REALLY know until you have it.

Let me give you an idea:

Easy isn’t a word we use

Yes it’s natural so yes it can be easy. Not quite as easy as shiny straight hair that accommodates a million different styles, but whatever.

Those messy buns take more work than they should

A whole lot of de-frizz products and a good ten attempts before it looks cool, but not deliberate, is not easy.

Hairdressers can be a stressful experience

They give you the option of leaving straight or curly so you go with curly because der you’ve already got it. But then they straighten it and put the curls back in with a straightener while you sit there all confused.

You’ve also got to have it cut in a certain way to avoid looking like the pyramids. And don’t even think about the pixie cut or the Bingle bob.

You’ll never understand patience like we do

It can take a whole day for our shower clean hair to dry the way we want it and we’d rather look like a wet dog than get the blow dryer on it.

You don’t know what knotty is until you’ve had curly hair

And no I can’t just brush it out. Unless looking like Hermione Granger in the first Harry Potter movie is what you’re going for, then you can totally brush it out.

Forget about going to bed with wet hair

Unless you want half your head to rock that mop look while the other looks more like Anne Hathaway in Princess Diaries.

Every heard of plopping?

Probably not, it’s just one of the weird things we have to do to keep our hair in line

Ever seen someone with curly hair and a fringe?

There’s a reason for that.

You’re not sure how to feel when people say how much they love your straightened hair

Does that mean they think I look better this way? Do they even like my curly hair?

Don’t bother keeping up with hair trends

This stuff just doesn’t grow.

Do you even know what curly hair is?

Please stop using curly hair as that horrible ‘before’ photo and then referring to Blake Lively’s waves as curls.
