- Obviously when you have a mane
-
like this on top of your head
-
it's really difficulty okay.
-
(laughing)
-
- Right now it doesn't seem like I have thick hair
-
but I guarantee you that I do have thick hair.
-
I recently got it thinned out.
-
I also dye it a lot and I do a lot of things to it
-
so it's just now basically a mop.
-
Growing up the biggest struggle for me
-
was that my mom had perfectly straight, thin hair
-
and she didn't understand what it was like
-
having like thick, wavy, curlish hair
-
so she would always tell me that I looked messy
-
or that I needed to brush my hair.
-
And if you have curlish, thick hair
-
you know that it's impossible to brush your hair dry.
-
It'll just make it poof up and it's just really
-
bad for hair actually.
-
- When you're trying to put your hair into a ponytail
-
and the rubber band just breaks on you.
-
- Sometimes when I take pictures with people in groups
-
they always ask me to like flatten my hair a little bit
-
because it's too big and it covers peoples faces.
-
- When you have big hair like this big, thick hair
-
you can't do hats okay.
-
Like if I put a hat on it's just gonna be a dent.
-
Like if I put a dome hat on,
-
I will have a dome shaped hairstyle going on.
-
I don't know how to describe it but it's not cute.
-
- Waking up in the morning and looking
-
like an absolute lion.
-
- My mom has thick, big hair and she always gets
-
her hair patted down at security in airports.
-
- The way my hair sheds 'cause my curls are like
-
so like they're so tiny, there so tight my curls are,
-
so when my hair sheds like honestly like
-
the little things like end up looking like
-
little pubes on the ground.
-
- My shower has little clumps of hair.
-
- There's hair everywhere.
-
Everywhere I am.
-
- I was really addicted to straightening my hair growing up
-
and I always had this idea that straighter hair
-
was more beautiful and like shiny and more perfect.
-
I'm always really been jealous of people
-
who have like shiny, straight hair
-
and I really wanted that so I would spend like hours
-
straightening my hair and then I would get like dry,
-
brittle hair from straightening it
-
and literally my hair would just like break and fall off.
-
- As a kid, I used to get hair anxiety because it was
-
so big and thick and I didn't know what to do with it.
-
- You always run out of conditioner before
-
you run out of shampoo because you're using
-
so much more of it.
-
- Whenever I go to the bathroom and wash my hands
-
I actually just dry it on to my hair.
-
I dry my hands on my hair.
-
My hands are dry and it's a very eco friendly hack.
-
- Bobby pins get lost inside your hair.
-
Like I currently, I could probably just reach
-
in here and pull one out somewhere.
-
- I stuck one in there this morning
-
and I don't even know where it's at.
-
I know it's controlled here
-
but it's somewhere back here and I have to find it.
-
- Forget about brushing your hair.
-
- You know in Princess Diaries when she's getting
-
her hair done and they're trying to make her like
-
all beautiful and give her the nice straight hair
-
and the brush literally just breaks?
-
Yeah, that's like everyday if I ever tried
-
to use a real brush so.
-
- I have to be very conscious about combing
-
out my hair when it's wet and it takes a long time.
-
It takes like about an hour
-
so I don't wash my hair that often.
-
I wash it about like two times a week.
-
- I do not brush my hair.
-
It's impossible to brush your hair.
-
- Oh the humidity.
-
- Traveling somewhere humid and having your hair
-
grow twice the size it already is.
-
- It's like whoa.
-
It's frizzy hair.
-
- So yeah having thick hair has not always been the best
-
and it's taken me a long time to kind of feel secure
-
and confident with my looks.
-
- I understand the struggle but you know just embrace it.
-
- Thick hair is beautiful.
-
- I wouldn't trade my thick hair for the world.
