I hate straight hair. Well, the kind that most people want.

Why does everyone want stick straight hair? What's the appeal? Why spend hundreds of dollars on these fancy flat irons and straight perms to get such damaged unappealing hair? Most straight hair fanatics I know have dull dead "straight" hair. I thought hair was supposed to be voluminous or at the least, somewhat healthy.

I guess my idea on what makes hair look good is different from I guess... everyone else. I think for any hair style (straight or whatever) to look good, it has to at least look healthy. Burning your hair with a flat iron every morning sucks the life and shine out of hair. Also, hair should have body. Stick straight flat hair is the opposite of this. I still don't understand the craze over it. I always hear girls talk about how they like the Victoria's Secret models' hair. In the VS fashion shows and catalog, they typically have big ass bouncy wavy/curly hair. So why do people still staighten their hair?



I know a lot of people will say that I say I don't like straight hair because my hair is naturally straight, but they are wrong. If my hair were naturally straight, everything would be much easier. But it's not wavy enough nor straight enough to let air dry or put mousse in after showers. I HAVE to blowdry it or it looks like some kinky in between wavy/straight crap. I am quite lazy when it comes to my hair because I have a lot of it and it's so high maintenance. Anyway, bigger hair also gives the illusion of more hair. Don't girls always want to look like they have more hair? I know straight hair can still look healthy and full of life, and if it does, then great. But most flat-addicts I know of, do not have healthy shiny hair.

Someone help me. Because I just don't understand. I can't.
