Hair 101 or not...

           To my fellow females, today my blog is dedicated to you and to the future females of the world. How many of us have spent ideal hours on the dreaded “Pintrest,” this is not a time for shame…we’ve all done it. They’ve got recipes, inspirational quotes, and of course wonderful “how tos” for any personality. So who could blame us for spending hours upon hours of filtering fun. 

            Ahhh but today, let’s rethink those wonderful (insert numerical value)5 minute easy hair styles for any hair type... Don’t judge ladies, we’ve all glanced at them, because honestly when it comes to maintaining the mane, not many of us can walk out of the bathroom just leaving it to its own devices. If I did that on the regular, I'm sure I'd have to attach a disclaimer when out in public!

            Let me shed some light on the battle these oh so easy hair style guides present themselves; or maybe I'm the only who has hair that is this difficult. So filtering threw several posts and finally selecting among the ever so popular "Buzzwothy.com" I'm ready to transform my hair into Volia! what will be my life changing hair do for the day!! (Disclaimer: I love Buzzwothy and am no way shaming their wonderful articles!!)

            I begin scrolling along the choices….ehhh my hair can’t pull that off…that looks worse than my hair at the moment…ohh maybe..nope! to many steps…but wait…I like this one..yeah…let me click to make it bigger! Because this is what we’ve all done we’ve clicked on those articles. You look through the pictures and start marking off in your brain whether you even have the skills at the moment to pull that off. Then finding a picture you click on it to make it bigger, because honestly you can really see what she’s doing in those pictures! Because this majestic work of art should only take a matter of minutes to complete, they just show pictures and no directions…UM! WTF!?? Sure, how hard could it be? It’s just hair, it’s just pulling hair that way and this way…wrong! It’s so much more…I know you’re sitting there nodding!! Honestly how can I tell what she’s doing with that hand and where did she pull that piece of hair from….then you look at the next pictures and it might as well be a different head of hair! Seriously it went from simple bobby pin insertion and now her head of hair is becoming this magical majestically hair dream… If for some reason a guy is reading this…you should stop…like seriously, go watch ESPN!

            After scrunching my eyes to comprehend what this obviously talented creature has performed in these pictures (Who’s taking the pictures? How does she look so good just ala natural? I know if I just snapped a picture of myself I’d need a least several filters…I HATE THIS WOMAN) I begin to work on my hair.

5 minutes later, I’m still trying to understand how my hair looks nothing like the picture…”teasing” just made my hair look like a frizz ball, did she use hairspray or maybe unwashed hair?! Those beautiful hair twisting things I attempted look like, I just didn’t brush my hair from this weekend…I QUIT!

10 minutes later…I just combined what I know I can do, hair spray, oh cute bobby pin thing and side part and VOLIA!  Just like the picture!! I knew I could do this!! All done in less…well now…crap! I’m late again…

Sooo in conclusion…I would like a real article, with detailed play by plays of the calamity that may ensue when performing such tasks. Because, I know and you know, the hair we carry with us…is own little personal cross we deal with on a daily basis...
