Things only thin-haired girls will understand

Thick haired girls want thin hair. But thin haired girls will give their soul for thick hair. If you’ve got thick hair, you might be wondering why on earth we’d want to deal with never ending blow dries, unmanageability and tonnes of hair products. But we have one word for you.

Scalp.

Now, thin haired girls. Grab a bottle of La Biosthetique Bain Volume Shampoo for Fine Hair to help matters (trust on this), and read the following, whilst nodding along in agreement.

(Thanks to GoodHouseKeeping for the following relatable points).

1. Sunburns on your scalp.

While your friends merely apply it to their bodies and faces, you load up all over — otherwise, you can expect that familiar burning sensation.

2. The merits of dry shampoo evade your grasp.

Everyone you know is obsessed with dry shampoo, but meanwhile, your hair just feels stringy and flat whenever you use it.

3. Humidity is actually your friend.

For thicker-haired ladies, humidity can turn your hair into a massive mess of frizz. For you, it expands your locks a little and gives them more volume. Dry weather, on the other hand, leads to static that turns your hair into a plasma globe.

4. Pathetically small ponytails.

Super tiny topknots, itsy bitsy braids — all your hairstyles tend to be borderline invisible.

5. Speaking of which, accomplishing Pinterest hairstyles is just a pipe dream.

Every time another friend of yours shares one of those “10 Braids You Need to Try!” roundups, you just roll your eyes, knowing you and your five strands of hair will never be able to achieve a triple fishtail braid bun.

6. People saying “your hair isn’t thin!”

…Until they touch it and realise, yup, it sure is.

7. Any layered hairstyle you try just looks like a stringy mullet.

“It’ll add body,” your hairstylist says. You nod, cringing as all the precious hair you have worked so hard to grow is falling to the floor.

8. Your hair gets greasy after literally 24 hours, sometimes even sooner.

This is why you cannot help but scoff whenever you see an article about going shampoo-free. The mere idea of you not shampooing your hair for a week is enough to send you into a grease-fueled frenzy.

9. Your friends ask if you’ve ever tried volumising products.

Of cours,e I’ve tried volumizing products, you think. I’ve literally tried everything.

10. That “messy hair” look just doesn’t work on you.

Attempting bedhead hair makes your head look like the site of an oil slick.

11. You go through conditioner and shampoo way slower than anyone else.

Of course, the money you save on cleansing products goes into all the volumising mousses and root boosters you try.

12. It can’t hold a single style besides its natural one.

If it’s straight, it stays straight no matter what — no amount of spray can keep a curl in place.

13. Cowlicks make you look bald.

If any piece gets out of place, you suddenly have an empty gap.

14. A slight breeze can ruin everything.

That delightful gust of fall wind gives you a ridiculous amount of flyaways and tangles. And even though it took just a few seconds to happen, your hair now needs another 10 minutes of fix-up time.

15. Your hair dries in about five minutes.

Okay, this one is actually something your thicker-haired friends are jealous of.

16. All hair bobbles are too big.

Your friends with thick hair whine about their hair bands breaking, but not you!
