I'd have to say all of that is spot on. I especially LOLed at #9, so true. 

[pilife]

I related most to the breaking hair ties and the worry of a new stylist!

Edited because I noticed it was on buzzfeed and no longer need the link...

#9 is my favorite.

Actually I change my mind. It's #11. Jay is quite often blowing hair out of his face.

I shower before bed every night and often wake up with #1. It's.. special..

hahah, pretty good compilation there!

Lol, I don't have curly hair, but I do have really thick hair, that is on the longer side right now, and I can definitely relate to 11, 12, 16, and 24.

[monkeygirl18]

Lol, I can relate to all of them. Not only is my hair curly but it's extremely thick so, that just compounds the issue.
