Sure, curly hair is sometimes hard to manage, but straight hair can be a handful too! Although the majority of the Egyptian population is curly-haired by nature, there’s quite a few of us straight haired loners who find coping with our mane a daily struggle!

 

1.One And Only Hairstyle

7 Things Every Straight Haired Girl Struggles With

There’s little variety and not much you can do with straight hair. If your hair is straight, you have the option of deciding its length and the style of the top part (bangs, or on either side), but nothing beyond that. No amount of hair products from gel and hairspray to overpriced curling iron techniques will change that. And if it works, it usually either looks like we haven’t showered in a week, or we had a failure attempt in getting dreadlocks so we ended up with frail-looking semi-curls.

2.Water Makes Us Look TERRIBLE

Whether it’s a swim in the pool, or just a bit of rain, water always leaves us looking like Samara from The Ring. It glues every single strand of hair we got to our faces and reduces its volume excessively, pushing it from scale 0 to -10.

3.Thin Hair

Straight hair is usually thin hair; thin hair is weak hair, and weak hair is short for “I’ll go bald a lot faster than all of my friends” which makes the process of attempting to curl or dye your hair a lot more guilt-tripping.

4.We Spend a Fortune on Styling Products

Because we’re so desperate to have a change of hairstyle the DIY way, we always fall for the “i-used-to-have-infant-like-straight-hair-now-i-have-super-soft-wavy-hair-because-of-this-product” TV ads.

5.Gets Greasy

Because there’s no volume with straight hair, and also because we love touching our silky smooth hair all the time, our hair gets greasy REALLY quick. I’m talking just-got-out-of-the-shower-and-3-hours-later-my-hair-feels-like-i-need-to-take-another-one kinda greasy.

6.PONYTAIL DENTS!!!

It’s totally INSANE! So my hair is straight but it would never curl but when I decide to pull it up in a ponytail it gives me this HORRENDOUS bend in the middle of its entire length?

7.Short Hair Isn’t A Ride In The Park Either

It ALWAYS needs something to keep it in place. You can’t tie it because it’s soft + short and it keeps slipping from the hair knot and onto your forehead, sneaking into your eyes like some wrathful curse the devil spawns on your existence in every waking moment.
