19 Problems Lebanese Girls Can Relate To If They Have Thick And Curly Hair

It’s unique, it’s pretty at times, and at others, you kinda wish you were white. Here are 17 things that you probably go through on a daily basis thanks to your natural, super curly (and frizzy) Lebanese hair.

1. Styling it depending on the weather

The number one golden rule of Lebanese hair is never straighten it in summer. Humidity = unparalleled frizziness.

2. A hairdressers trip is always wasted

They just can’t tame it. Your perfectly blow dried bounce will last for approximately 2.57 minutes.

3. “Why don’t you just brush it?”

BECAUSE I WILL LOOK LIKE AN ELECTROCUTED VERSION OF HERMIONE GRANGER.

4. Looking cute for a while…

You may look cute at home, but the second you leave your house *poof* – just like that, it’s ruined.

5. Never knowing how it will turn out

“I’ll just leave it to dry naturally” never fails to turn into “what the f*** just happened”.

6. But beachy waves…

Luckily, summer is near which means sea salt and beachy hair is making a solid comeback.

7. Looking at straight hair with so much longing

Why can’t my hair be that tame?

8. And you gave up on pretty Pinterest hairstyles a long time ago

Boho-chic, elegant, wavy updo? Nope, not for me!

9. Slowly giving up…

Maybe braids are a great everyday alternative…

10. Planning in advance what days you need to wash your hair

Sorry, I can’t come out on Thursday. I have to wash my hair.

11. Never sleeping with wet hair because in your mother’s eyes, it is a deadly sin

“MA BYESWA!”

12. And never going out with wet hair…

Because “byecheb2ik el hawa”

13. A fringe is NEVER a good idea

You may lie to yourself and say that you will fix it everyday, but you won’t. And even if you do, it will never hold.

14. Is hairspray a myth?

It has one job. And it can’t even do that on my hair.

15. You can never find any hairbands.

Mainly because most of them break when you try to triple knot that ponytail.

16. Having an unimaginable amount of baby hairs

Because you know, hairy Lebanese genes and all (thanks dad!)

17. Maybe mousse will look cute?

Until you realise your hair feels like crispy plastic.

19. Being unsure whether your thick hair is a blessing, or a curse

RIP to all the broken hair brushes and fallen hair down the drain.

19. But, eventually having one voluptuous, great hair day, and forgetting all the suffering that came before
