12 reasons why your curly hair is a lot more awesome than you think
Like most curly-haired girls, I have spent a major part of my life resenting my curls.
I didn’t actually hate my curls per se, but rather resented the fact that curly hair was more prone to frizz. Plus taming the curls to look sane took too much time and skills.
Stepping out of the shower after washing my hair and expecting the curls to fall into luscious spirals by just air-drying or a tangled-free mane is something that I still cannot achieve.
But I guess that’s a small price because after all, almost everyone seems to be lusting over curls.
Oh frizz, you ruin my curls!
Flash forward to several straighteners and heat-damaged hair later, I finally decided to embrace my hair for what it is.
And though I am always on the lookout for the latest treatments available to tame frizzy curls, I have come to realise that curls are pretty awesome if you treat them right.
So from one curly-haired girl to another, here are 10 reasons why curls are better.
1. Your hair is naturally voluminous
You got 99 problems but flat hair ain’t one!
Curls adds volume to your hair effortlessly, and you never have to worry about it being flat, limp and lifeless like those with straight hair.
Even on days when you straighten your curls, there is always going to be that little amount of volume that will make others go green with envy.
2. You can go for days without washing it
Because your hair has a lot of natural volume, no one can tell if you haven’t washed your hair for days. You can have dirty hair and still look good! #blessed

Everyone with a head full of curls knows that you don’t brush your hair.
This saves so much time and is probably one of the rare instances when curly hair is considered low-maintenance.

Having to spend longer on perfecting the style or worrying how long the look will last is never a major concern of yours.
