RINGLETS
THE REAL DEAL
Sooooo....you want CURLY hair eh??? Let me tell you something you straight haired "I can do anything with my hair and it just falls back down with ease and shine-Plus I can use a hair dryer and my hair wont frizz up" people!!! You have NO idea what we fuzzball covered people do in the morning and when we go out! It is pure hell. Hell I tell you. Now, allow me to describe a day in the life of straight hair.
1)Wake up look beautiful and shiny
2)Get brushed, oh look, even shinier...
3)Maybe put into pig tails
4)or maybe braids
5)Or maybe a nice sleek pony tail
6)Hey, why don't we just leave it down? It's so soft anyhow!
See, then there's the wind problem. Wind, for a curly haired girl, especially when you're with a guy that's hot or that you like a lot, is like the devil coming up and literally giving you a noogie. It is, THE WORST. At first it's just a bit of wind, just enough to get your heart pumping and PRAYING that there won't be anymore, or that you can possibly get to shelter before it starts up again. But just as you think that, a huge gust of it comes and just tosses your hair to one side, then to the front, then to the other side, then all the way back until you think it's gonna rip RIGHT off. You're desperately trying to hold it in place but this just makes you look like an idiot, and if you're carrying stuff, it's hard to manage. Plus, if your ears stick out a little, then everyone gets to stare at THOSE, since the hair isn't hiding them anymore. This is one of the most embarassing situations for someone with curls. Nasty situation number 2.
You're making out with your boyfriend and you're getting all..you know..rughrughrughr....and then the HAIR makes it's approach...slowly it manages to curl up inside your mouth...his mouth...then AHHHH!!! NASTYNESS sets in....He freaks out and starts chewing on it, you want to crawl into a hole and DIE. It's the worst.Bad situation number 3.
You're about to go out to a party or something, downtown, club, whatever. Your hair is NOT co-operating. This...is not surprising....considering you can NEVER get it as manageable as your hairdresser can. Your mousse doesn't seem to be doing the trick.WHAT do you do?? You panic obviously, rushing around trying to find a blowdryer to straighten it. Then when it does become straight, it frizzes, then you wash it again, hoping it will curl nicely if you try using the mousse again, but it STILL won't work. So you either decide NOT to go, or you put your hair up, which looks ridiculous because
1)Your ears stick out, ew.
2)Your hair is all dry and weird from the mousse and the hairdryer that it's all sticky and queer.
So I hope that all the people out there with nice, straight, soft, shiny, gorgeous hair all realize what ease they go through in life, not having to worry as much as we do. Because it IS a jungle out there, and if it's not out there, it's on our head.
