Some People's Perspective

After reading my last article about my high arched brows (click here to read), my cousin got inspired and offered to share her own struggles. In her own words...

Greetings readers! It has been my pleasure to share my "noodly" experience with you!

You all might wonder what would be that yummy thing. But unfortunately it is not so😯.

I was born with the hair that is unevenly thick throughout it's length. So it always has it's own twists and turns. Each strand of hair fights with other (irrespective of their position on my head), giving a tangled look (this tangled look is not the perfect hair what you have observed on the so called tangled movie). Well, it is more or less similar to what Merida has in the Brave movie.


Every morning, it is like a war between my brain and my hair. Brain says "You can handle her." and hair says "Try it!" and gives a sarcastic laugh. Somehow, I tie my hair applying all hard labour, energy and time. Yet like a naughty child it disobeys me. As I write, I remember Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldi aka princess Mia from 'Princess diary'


Here comes the most beautiful part. The moment I step out, all focusing eyes turn towards my hair as if I am an alien to this 'nothing-is-unusual-earth'. Some stare with an ultimate look of confusion, thinking how on earth could she live with* such an untamed hair. For some my hair becomes their entertainment (I am least bothered as I bring some sunshine onto their faces🌞). Some come up with their bossy ideas to teach me "The principles of hair management". Some noteworthy points are
  1. Use the so and so hair conditioner as it makes your hair super silky and smooth.
  2. Wash your hair thrice a week (not more, not less, exactly thrice) to keep it tangle-free.
  3. Pour some millilitres less than a litre of coconut oil to make it look straight (even after I follow this exactly, people ask me "Why is your hair so dry? Show at least few drops of oil to your hair" with a pity voice).
If possible, I may author a book on the same topic in the near future and please do buy it and be benefitted (all necessary actions will be taken to make it available in your nearest bookstore😉).

My most embarrassing hair situation? It occurs almost everyday. And more than once daily. Whenever something accidentally gets on my hair, the 'something' falls in love with my hair and my hair in turn refuses to let it go! Well, this situation may not seem to you that embarrassing, but wait till I quote some incidents.

Once in my high school, my friends were playing with tiny paper balls and accidentally one landed right on my hair! I being ignorant of this fact, passed the entire day with the ball on my hair and my friends came up with the wicked idea of repeating the same incident everyday. They started getting very innovative and ended up with paper rockets, paper bits, confetti, pen caps, and all possible stuffs!

Icon of sympathy? Many have thought aloud while watching me comb my hair, "Thank God! My hair isn't that bad!" (What? You feel so content by making me fret for my hair?) Alas! It is not over yet! The very same person, with the sole intention of soothing my wounded soul, comes up with a brilliant idea! "Why don't you go and have your hair straightened?" I maintain a poker face and ignore the great idea. (Well, if I haven't straightened my hair till date, will I not have a strong reason behind it?)

As steel wire? It is one of the wierdest comments that I have ever got. My brother was like "Guess what? I have found the best sustainable substitute for steel wires! IT'S YOUR HAIR!" (I'm on my way to get my hair patented! LOL!)😂

There are even admirers! (No surprise, that's my mom and my sister😆)

Such such are my experiences regarding people's perspective of my hair!

There are a few reasons why I haven't straightened my hair. First of all, I love the natural "me". Next, my noodly hair gives me faux voluminous texture even though it is not so. Finally, my hair has become a sort of trade mark and i don't want to change.

I can specify certain remarkable celebrities who had bushy whirly-curly hair at their childhood and then decided to straighten it as they thought that they might look better with that (I write this not to criticise them but just for an additional info).

Michael Jackson


Sasha Obama


Taylor Swift

The classic example of unruly curly hair who forever remained with his usual beautiful hair!
