Women's (Hair) Struggle

avatar

Hi guysss... I'm glad I finally got to make this post.

So ladies, how has it been with your hair?

They say the beauty of a woman is in her hair. I'm not sure how true that is, seeing that a lot of women look really pretty without hair.

However, people like me that cannot afford to cut our hair low have gone through several struggles maintaining our hair, both when it's made and when it's not. The struggle is real and it's everyday.

The Hair period I look forward to but dislike the most, is the period where I have to visit a saloon to get my hair done. This rarely happens without some sort of pain.

Sometimes, its bearable, other times it's just extreme!

I remember when I was still on virgin hair, every hair making Day was a cry day. I couldn't even afford to Comb my hair well on my own because of the pain.

Now, I'm no longer on virgin hair but my friend does and she goes through the struggle every now and then.

Recently, she went to weave her hair all back and it took everything in her not to burst in tears from the pain..

Oh.. to be a woman!🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

After the whole experience, she was happy to rock her new hair, forgetting all about the pain.

Now that I think about it, why does it seem like women don't care about pain?

They go through Labour pain up to 10 times (especially my people.in Africa) with their full chest knowing that it might be a fight for their life each time.

They also go through the hair making process and endure for hours just to look beautiful?

Mehnnn... Why are we like that?🤧

I would really like to know what you think in the comment section.

....PS: I have permission to use the pictures above...

Thanks for checking out my post. Please come again soon!
😘😘😘

What is virgin hair? Does that mean no hair? Yeah, hair is so important. I say people do not have to spend too much time or money on hair to make hair beautiful. I like hair. I love your post here. I mostly like simple hair.

Virgin hair is hair that is not chemically treated or processed to change its natural texture, meaning no previous bleach, colour, dye or relaxers. Chemical processing (e.g relaxers) can straighten hair out permanently removing curls, bends, kinks that are responsible for tangles and knots, and keep it that way until the new growth. This makes it less painful to comb or style.

But chemicals in hair moisturisers, shampoo and conditioners only maintain a healthy natural texture and cannot really take hair's virginity! hehe okay I just can't think of a better wording for the last part.

The problem is the hair is always growing meaning old hair will be replaced with new hair that comes out of the head.

You're right it must be painful to be able to comb your hair. I have somewhat thick hair and it gets tangled and that is a pain every time I comb it.

many people do not understand that it is difficult for women to maintain curly hair, I admire them, my hair is wavy and I simply lost the fight, I prefer to shave one part and iron another so as not to have to invest so much time and products.

You girls look beautiful with your braids but I can't imagine the pain. hug 🤗
