My friends that have straight hair always say things like “I love your curly hair” and “I wish I had curly hair”. But having curly hair is high maintenance, it can have a good side and bad side. Curly hair is very unpredictable, sometimes the curls look really good and sometimes they look just okay.
Some good things about having curly hair is that you get to experiment with new products, and find the products that work for you and your hair. It’s fun to try new things like products, new routines and styles that would work for your curls.
“I think having curly hair is better to be honest. I mean sure it’s not the easiest to maintain and you have to get ready every morning. But I would say there’s no real downsides to having curly hair,” junior Victor Delvat said
Nowadays people are embracing their natural curly hair more. It’s something that is being talked about in social media. People share their experiences with their hair before and how they grew to love their hair. Sharing their favorite products and how they take care of their hair.
“It can be hard to relate to other people, especially with straight hair, and how to maintain your hair and what product you use. But besides that, I don’t really feel left out because in a Sequoia community I see a lot of people with curly hair and it just makes one embrace it more,” senior Genevieve Tatola said.
Not every student felt the same way, there’s still that small feeling that you can’t relate to everyone with straight hair. There’s people that used to feel left before.
“I felt like I didn’t have as much in common with people (with straight hair) and they didn’t really understand what it was like to have curly hair,” sophomore Izabella Brazea said.
But now she has grown to love her curls.
One thing that I noticed was that there’s a lot of products that are expensive.There’s a bunch of products that are good but they just don’t work for everyone. There are some popular products that do cost more than 10 dollars and won’t work for your hair type. But it takes time and effort to find the right products that would work for your hair type and not feel heavy on your hair.
