Curly Chaos

This is about my love/hate relationship with my mane of curly hair. :)

Every morning I wake up frightened,
Fearing what my thick head of hair looks like.
Will it behave today?
Will it do its own thing and be a little s**t?
YAY! It's behaving today!

I pile on product after product,
Trying to tame the wild beast,
I am winning the battle today,
The beast gives way to the creams and mousses.

I walk into school feeling confident,
That my curls, twists, kinks, ringlets, and coils
Are perfectly shapen and attractive.
The compliments I receive make my day.

It feels good to have the victory acknowledged.
It is relieving to see your reflection in the mirror.
It's later on that day and the curls are perfect.
But what will they look like tomorrow?

Your hair is a special part of you and I doubt that you'd look right if it was straight. Another friend of mine with curly hair said she straightened it once and would never do it again.

Awesome write and even though I don't have curly hair, trust me just like every other single female in this world, hair is a b***h!
