like this on top of your head

it's really difficulty okay.

(laughing)

- Right now it doesn't seem like I have thick hair

but I guarantee you that I do have thick hair.

I recently got it thinned out.

I also dye it a lot and I do a lot of things to it

so it's just now basically a mop.

Growing up the biggest struggle for me

was that my mom had perfectly straight, thin hair

and she didn't understand what it was like

having like thick, wavy, curlish hair

so she would always tell me that I looked messy

or that I needed to brush my hair.

And if you have curlish, thick hair

you know that it's impossible to brush your hair dry.

It'll just make it poof up and it's just really

bad for hair actually.

- When you're trying to put your hair into a ponytail

and the rubber band just breaks on you.

- Sometimes when I take pictures with people in groups

they always ask me to like flatten my hair a little bit

because it's too big and it covers peoples faces.

- When you have big hair like this big, thick hair

you can't do hats okay.

Like if I put a hat on it's just gonna be a dent.

Like if I put a dome hat on,

I will have a dome shaped hairstyle going on.

I don't know how to describe it but it's not cute.

- Waking up in the morning and looking

like an absolute lion.

- My mom has thick, big hair and she always gets

her hair patted down at security in airports.

- The way my hair sheds 'cause my curls are like

so like they're so tiny, there so tight my curls are,

so when my hair sheds like honestly like

the little things like end up looking like

little pubes on the ground.

- My shower has little clumps of hair.

- There's hair everywhere.

Everywhere I am.

- I was really addicted to straightening my hair growing up

and I always had this idea that straighter hair

was more beautiful and like shiny and more perfect.

I'm always really been jealous of people

who have like shiny, straight hair

and I really wanted that so I would spend like hours

straightening my hair and then I would get like dry,

brittle hair from straightening it

and literally my hair would just like break and fall off.

- As a kid, I used to get hair anxiety because it was

so big and thick and I didn't know what to do with it.

- You always run out of conditioner before

you run out of shampoo because you're using

so much more of it.

- Whenever I go to the bathroom and wash my hands

I actually just dry it on to my hair.

I dry my hands on my hair.

My hands are dry and it's a very eco friendly hack.

- Bobby pins get lost inside your hair.

Like I currently, I could probably just reach

in here and pull one out somewhere.

- I stuck one in there this morning

and I don't even know where it's at.

I know it's controlled here

but it's somewhere back here and I have to find it.

- Forget about brushing your hair.

- You know in Princess Diaries when she's getting

her hair done and they're trying to make her like

all beautiful and give her the nice straight hair

and the brush literally just breaks?

Yeah, that's like everyday if I ever tried

to use a real brush so.

- I have to be very conscious about combing

out my hair when it's wet and it takes a long time.

It takes like about an hour

so I don't wash my hair that often.

I wash it about like two times a week.

- I do not brush my hair.

It's impossible to brush your hair.

- Oh the humidity.

- Traveling somewhere humid and having your hair

grow twice the size it already is.

- It's like whoa.

It's frizzy hair.

- So yeah having thick hair has not always been the best

and it's taken me a long time to kind of feel secure

and confident with my looks.

- I understand the struggle but you know just embrace it.

- Thick hair is beautiful.

- I wouldn't trade my thick hair for the world.
