Horrendous Hair: A Comical (but honest) Perspective

Not bad hair?

When I look around the room I see the beautifully defined curls, the straight hair every girl wants, and the messy,  yet somehow amazing waves. There is also the girl that spends an hour almost every morning trying to make the hairstyle look perfect on each side, which it normally does. You also have the guys who care more about their hair than anything else…and it shows. 

But then I slightly turn my head in the wrong direction, and I see a monstrosity . . .  I’m not even sure what exactly you would call it, but it sure doesn’t look good.

  • You have the person who uses GLOBS of gel to the point where if you touch their hair, you hear a crunch. #crunchy
  • You have the person who decides that it’s “cool” to get a mullet.
  • But when they have the mullet, they hate it, so they decide to buzz their hair.
  • Then you have the people with hair down to their hips, and you end up finding their hair EVERYWHERE.
  • The one with the weird “growing-it-out” faze. #awkward
  • The one that claims they use conditioner, but when you run your hands through their hair, they get stuck halfway through the tangled mess.

Now, let’s start with Mr./Ms. Crunchy.

Well, it’s not that the slicked-back ponytail is bad, it’s just when they start to take the hair tie out… 

Orrrrr you have the guy that is stuck in the year 2016, with the DEEP side part and half a can of gel in his hair. 

Regardless, it must be a real pain to be brushing your hair out with THAT much gel. There should be no need for your hair to be as hard as a rock by the ripe time of three in the afternoon.

But don’t even get me started when the gel has been in your hair for a little TOO LONG and it starts to…flake off. It looks like dandruff. Now, nothing is wrong with that of course, but the crunch combined with the flake is a LITTLE excessive (indeed). 

Now let’s move on to my “cool” folks out there, the one that decides they look good with a mullet

If you think you look good, there is a 99.999999999% chance that YOU DO NOT. I mean, it’s very reasonable as to why we may think that.

But like if you have a whole TAIL coming off your neck warmer…IT DOES NOT LOOK GOOD. 

Finally, you decide the mullet does not look good, so you cut it…but you don’t just cut it… you buzz it. 

I’m not saying everyone looks bad with a buzz, but some people don’t look the best with one. The short, spiky, hair that if you are a LIGHT blonde it just looks like you are bald. It just doesn’t work for everyone. 

And yet for some reason, you now decide that you don’t like the buzz, so you try to grow it out. But that also isn’t the best choice because now you have that weird face where your hair isn’t long enough to get it cut, but it’s too long that it looks like you need to get it cut. 

But you know if you get it cut then it will just go back to that buzz cut that you are trying to get rid of. 

Yet here we are, sitting in class, minding my own business when all of a sudden…

“What is that?!?”, my favorite saying when I see a CLUMP of hair on the floor. Yes, I get three strands here and there coming out but if you are just running your fingers through your hair and you pull out a clump and proceed to drop it on the floor- 

I will admit, I myself drop strands of my hair on the floor, but never a clump. 

That is something that belongs in the trash or better yet…left on your head.  

Now if you are at home and you drop it on the floor, not my problem it’s yours. But if you are in public and have a hairball in your hand, and decide to drop it for others to deal with.  

I’m speechless…

Finally, Miss Little-Rat’s-Nest.  

I get it if you have hair that is as thick as my winter jacket, but if you don’t even try to brush it and claim you do, then that’s just laziness.  

There should be no reason for your hair to be in absolute knots. There is bound to be someone who will give you their brush, heck, even I would so it wouldn’t pain me to see that.
