Curls are very beautiful and since the advent of the CG method also very popular. But no matter how beautiful curls are, there are quite a lot of problems that only women with curls recognize.
Curls have suddenly been on the rise for about three years. Suddenly there was the Curly Girl method and many women turned out to have no straight hair at all. By caring for and styling the hair with the right products, suddenly bunches of beautiful locks appeared. BUT… these curls also have drawbacks, so that some women give up after a while and then abandon this method again.
Incidentally, I myself was more than 40 years under the assumption that my hair was indeed frizzy (confirmed by hairdresser), but I didn't really have curls to my knowledge. A blow to my hair. But once I switched to other products and added styling to my skincare routine and tada… that's where the (pipe) curls appeared 😊
You will only recognize the problems below if you (like me) have curls.
Well, your curls are of course very beautiful, but very occasionally you would also like to have a regular tight ponytail. That is not so easy, because before you know it your curls are jumping in all directions again.
Something about walking around like a drowned cat? No, with curly hair, walking in the rain can be a disaster. Especially if you spent an hour in the morning styling your hair in such a way that it looks beautiful at that moment.
Okay, that's not for everyone, but chances are a really short haircut just won't suit. That's because the shorter your hair is, the more curls that go into it. That can look great in combination with short hair, but it can also not match your face and appearance at all.
It is not without reason that curlers prefer to use blow dryers with a diffuser. With this you can dry your hair in an instant. In addition, it is also good for the curl definition. Drying hair in the air can take far too long.
Now sleeping with wet hair is not a good idea anyway, but if you have curls it is not done. There is a good chance that your curls will then lead their own life and you will be asked the next day whether you have been plugged in with your hands.
Let's just say that every advantage has its disadvantage. Curly hair pulls up much higher, so it takes longer for your hair to appear longer. Indeed it seems, because wet your hair is just a lot longer.
No matter how hard you try, your curls always seem to have a life of their own. Never, never will they turn out the way you would like. And if that does happen, there is a good chance that your haircut will be ruined by rain or the winter.
Of course your hair needs to be combed from time to time, but as a curly girl you never do that with dry hair. If you have longer hair, this can unfortunately result in a lot of tangles. And then you have no choice but to do your whole routine again, including combing wet hair.
If you think you have finally found the golden formula for your hair, the products suddenly no longer work. With curls you keep working on the care. Trying out new products or a different way of styling from time to time is just part of that.
The fact is that curly hair needs much more care. And the right products for your hair are also a lot more expensive. Add to this the costs for a special treatment of the curler and your wallet will be less happy.
Well, in the summer you can have the most beautiful curls, but then autumn and later winter set in. Suddenly there is little left of that beautiful curly head. Then you have no choice but to adjust your routine. In the worst case, you can of course also put your hair in a nice bun. This way you limit the damage and you don't have to get annoyed if you walk past a mirror somewhere.
Which annoyances like curly hair do you recognize? Or do you always have a good hair day?
