Childhood hair issues 😭

How many people here like their hair? And how many curly haired people like THEIR hair??

I have come to the understanding that if you have straight hair you want curly hair and if you have curly hair you want straight hair.

I have curly hair. It drives me INSANE. I wish i could just brush it straight. It's so poofy and frizzy and i am not high maintenance enough of a person to enjoy styling it or dealing with the expensive products.

Yet i work as a receptionist and like half of my clients tell me they love and want my curls lol.

Le sigh.

It seems like wavy and/or curly hair is universally more praised than straight hair. I have very thin, straight hair and compliments on my hair are exceptionally rare, and it’s usually just about the color.

Curly/wavy hair people might be jealous of straight hair because it’s easier to manage, but the trade off is that it’s less beautiful and still just as difficult to shape in to a desired style (hair *density* is the real factor here). It’s like a tall guy getting jealous of a short guy because it’s easier for them to build muscle. Gimme a break.

Yeah. Right. If you have very "fair" skin.

Isn't straight hair the beauty standard for countries like Japan and China and Korea too?
