If you have naturally curly hair, chances are you dread wash
day, the weekly endeavor dedicated to washing, detangling, and
conditioning natural hair. While it may sound like NBD to your straight-haired friends, you know the process to be extremely time-consuming. First, it
starts with a bathroom sink full of products you've accumulated over the past
few weeks (because if there's one thing curly-haired girls do, it's stock up on
products like it's nobody's business). Then there's the annoying task of
detangling that feels like FOREVER.
Most curly-haired girls dedicate an entire day to wash day —
no joke. Seriously, it could take you just as long to do it yourself as it would hitting
up the Dominican hair salon on a busy Saturday afternoon. The struggle is real.
There's even a Twitter hashtag #Washday dedicated to just that.
