If you have frizzy hair, you know what it's like to be slightly envious when you see (in real life and on Pinterest) everyone else's silky smooth, frizz-free hair. As a person with dry, bushy hair with a mind of its own, I understand your pain. I can prove it, too. These are the most annoying things.

1. Checking the weather every morning to decide whether or not you should bother making an effort.

2. And when it is raining, you would rather stay inside than attempt to tame the beast that your hair will soon become.

3. Spending an hour on your hair only to walk outside and instantly have it ruined by the humidity.


4. The daily inner debate of whether washing your hair is really worth the time it will take to style it after.

5. Deciding that it's probably definitely not worth your time, so dry shampoo will be your friend for yet another day.

6. The look of confusion on friends' faces when they see your diffuser for the first time.

7. Hermione Granger and her bushy hair struggles make you relate to her more than any other Harry Potter character.


8. You always run out of conditioner way before shampoo.

9. The only short haircut you could ever get would be shaving it all off. Anything else and your head will just look … big.

10. A hair tie is on your wrist at all times — just in case.

11. When people say your hair "looks cute," your only thought is, You have literally know idea how long it took me to get it this way.

12. That incredible feeling when you realize it's not humid outside.


13. No matter how much product you use, there's always a few stragglers (read: dozens) that refuse to stay put.

14. Curling your hair seems like a great idea for "redefining" your frizz, so you do it meticulously for an hour and it looks beautiful … until you leave the house, where it quickly expands into a mess of bedhead hair (and not the sexy kind).

15. You loved Gilda Radner's character on SNL. But you really, really didn't like her triangle hairstyle. Seriously, no frizzy-haired woman would ask for that shape on purpose.
