In all of my photos my hair is nice and straight. For me natural doesn't suit me.
I'm sick of reading everywhere things like 'every woman wants and dreams of curly hair.' No they do not. And it really annoys me when people tell me my curls look 'lovely' and 'you should wear your hair natural.' I don't care if they say they like it, I hate it and thats what matters. No amount of compliments about 'how lovely curls look' is going to make me want them.
So you're probably wondering how on earth my hair is so straight. It's simple. I invest in a weekly blowdry.
I never wash and dry my hair by myself for a very good reason. My hair is so thick it takes ages to dry, at least 45 minutes. And what is worse is the curl. Having my hair done by a professional each week ensures my hair looks very smooth and poker straight. I cannot do it myself as I cannot get it straight as a hairdresser can. The moment I pick up a hairdryer my hair puffs out. No amount of product will stop it going like it does.
I really want my hair chemically straightened. I would love nothing more than to permanently get rid of the curl. I keep reading contradicting stories about chemical straightening. That as my hair is bleached no one will do it. Then I hear that some hairdressers will do it on my hair depending on the brand of product.
So why do I hate my curls. I just hate the way they look on me. It actually makes my face look fat and curls don't suit me. I much prefer my hair looking straight. I just don't get the fascination with curly hair, even my hairdresser hates it. She said it looks old fashioned.
So unless I can find a permanent solution to getting rid of my curls, looks like I will be sticking with my weekly blowdry.
I think everyone always wants what they don't have, but I don't envy you as there's a lot of work which goes into curly hair x
ReplyDeleteI love your hair - but I love curls too. I have to have a perm to get them! Kaz
ReplyDeleteI have really curly hair and have never straightened it. People can't help but comment and always want you to try something different.
ReplyDeleteI find it fascinating how everyone's hair is different. Mine gets greasy really quickly, so I wash and blow dry it every morning 🙈 Your hair looks lovely x
ReplyDeleteMy mom has curly hair and she hates it too. I wish I could get curls like hers.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to say it, but I would love curly hair - I had a perm in March! My natural hair is very drab though - yours looks great. Kaz
ReplyDeleteHonestly its best to do what makes you happy and not going with the norm
ReplyDeletePeople always what what they don't have but at the end of the day, its personaly choice and if you love your hair straight, that is all that matters. Let us know if you get it chemically straightened, I'd love to hear all about that!
ReplyDeleteC x
I have always wanted curly hair if I'm honest, but people always want what they don't have. I'm sure I'd want straight hair if it was curly. I tend to have mine cut fairly short is mine's just so thick too!
ReplyDeleteIt must be tough with everyone saying to keep your hair natural as if you don't like it then you're within your right to do what you want with your hair x
ReplyDeleteI have naturally curly hair and keep it that way because I’m too lazy to straighten and blow dry haha
ReplyDeleteMy mummy has curls and often ends up straightening it. She wishes she could afford weekly blow drys. She ended up wearing a wig over the summer for festivals and that was a good alternative
ReplyDeleteI have wavy hair, so sort of inbetween! Sometimes I can pull it off in a -bed-head/beach-hair sort of look! And other times it's just a no! lol! I think it all depends on our mood!
