Crazy Curly Kinky Curls

     As you can probably guess from the title of this post, this post is about curly hair. You can probably also guess that I myself have curly hair. I give you this picture as proof.

(Hint hint, I am the only one with curly hair in this picture, aka the second from the right.)

So there you go, I am one curly-haired individual. And I love it. I really do. I don't have to wash my hair every day like a lot of my friends, and it gives me instant personality. While it can be a tangle-y frizzy mess on occasion (aka when I skip the hair products or don't comb it out or sleep on it), it is one of my favorite physical things about myself. It also works out well with my hippie/bohemian/I-love-life-and-wearing-random-things-and-as-many-bright-colors-as-humanely-possible style.

Another weird things about curly hair is that it is like walking around with a hair comment box (Maybe my hair is hiding it). Here are a few of the more interesting ones that I've received.

Random Girl"Your hair is big."
Me "That's nice"
RG "It's like really big."
Me "Okay."
RG "I don't understand how it's so big."
Me "Your hair is looking really small today."
RG "That's so mean. I just haven't styled it today."
(Because telling someone that their hair is "big" aka frizzy is not mean...)

"You don't look like your family. Are you adopted?" (Everyone in my family has straight hair, since my mom relaxes hers)

"I wish my hair was like yours" (As I am combing the most giant of gnarls out of my wet hair)

"Can I pull the curls?" (Sure dude. I do because I love watching them bounce back up, how can I deny you the fun of pulling them?)

"Can you throw your hair away?" (Since I am the only one in my dorm room with curly hair)

This blog is also super helpful for those of you with curly hair.

Oh, and for anyone who was wondering, the picture above, from left to right: Rachel (visiting from a different college), Maddie, Me, and Danielle.


Rock on curly-haired individuals (and also any of you with straight or wavy hair).
