Stop typing. That's stupid.

Is this true?!?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I doubt it's true. Unless you mean the time it takes to do it, I still doubt that.

........ no

If you guys are wondering it seems suuuuper illogical that you will die sooner. It probably just means how long it takes but you really only straighten your hair from ages 11 to like 30, and not EVERY day.

I know a lot of people who straighten their hair everyday. Half the girls at my school straighten their hair everyday.

This completely depends on how much hair you have and how curly it is.

The poster js only making a point: stop straightening your hair and go with the natural hair you were born to have.

Are you kidding me? My hair looks like roadkill before I straighten it. Straightening is a must.

'Cause you've gotta learn to take care of the waves and curls you've got!

(Anonymous):It's not that my hair isn' t healthy. I just don't have naturally beautiful waves. My hair looks much better straight.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I didn't mean as in your hair's unhealthy, but waves can look great with a little styling.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

...so why would I spend as much time styling.. when I could be straightening? isn't the point of this whole thing to NOT waste time on your hair? .__.

If you are 18 and you've slept 8 hours per day everyday, you've spent 6 years of your life sleeping.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's sort of sad. What a waste of lifeeee. ;(

by Anonymous 13 years ago

...Well if you didn't sleep you kinda wouldn't HAVE a life... Or something. At the very least I've heard you can go schizophrenic if you go 3 straight days without sleep.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But the point is, when you sleep you don't grow up, you don't become more mature, you just sleep. So if we go back to my example, and you're a 18yo that have slept for 6 years, you may have the physical appearance of a 18yo, but you're mentally 12. That's just my opinion.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But you haven't spent 6 straight years sleeping. You have 12 years during which you matured (hopefully).

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think its like after 5-6 or something. and you die after around ten days

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's true that you'd die without sleep, but you wouldn't go schizophrenic. You can't just 'go' schizophrenic, it's genetic.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Actually you can go schizophrenic because of traumatizing events & such. At least from what I've read & understood about it.

no i love sleep. love love love love love. I understand it seems like a waste of precious time but I think it's so so so nice. :p

what the shit.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Is that every time? :|

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't think so. It takes me less than 5 minutes to straighten it out but I only have some loose waves that I just like to straighten. Now, if you have thick curly hair, sure, that might be a little closer.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

calling bs on this one. 9 years is about one tenth of your life. in terms of days, you would have to straighten your hair for 2.4 hours per day, EVERY day.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

if it took 9 years from your life every time you straightened your hair you would probably be dead in 8 or 9 days..

FAKE AND GAY

Thank God for naturally straight hair!

Its shocking to also realize that in addition to straightening your hair, the amount of time women converse about straightening their hair accumulates up to 20 years in a life time.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't believe this, but I don't straighten partially for this reason. Too time-consuming, hair-killing, and curls suit me better anyways.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Why do you say it to girls? I'm a guy and I straighten my hair..

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Wait, so if the average life expectancy is around 80, then girls would spend about 11.25% of their life straitening their hair. That comes out to be about 2.7 hours a day. This doesn't count years as a baby or when you get really old, so I don't really think this is true at all.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I did some math and if the average amount of time it takes to straighten your hair is 30 minutes and you live to be 75, that's like around 500 days so only 1 and a half years. Not sure if it's accurate since I did the math real quick, but something like that.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I doubt it would take that long, but either way this makes me really happy that I don't bother to straighten my hair

by Anonymous 13 years ago

You are stupid. Go away before I shut off the internet on your stupid ass.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's why I don't straighten my hair. :D Well, that and I don't own a flat iron.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

The fact that some people take longer than others (curlier hair, not a good flat-iron) would make this fake...along with a lot of the other good points above.
