the period project

rant eighty-three: greasy hair and zits

anonymous 

Mood swings. Muscle soreness. Cramps. Bloating. Food cravings. Back pain. Boobs hurting. Drowsiness.

With a pillow, heating pad, and some chocolate, I can deal with that.

BUT DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON GREASY HAIR.

GREASY HAIR IS MY WORST ENEMY DURING MY PERIOD.

When I'm on my period, my hair gets so gross and greasy, no amount of washing or dry shampoo helps. My hair looks so wet, my sister actually asked me this morning if I took a shower.

I WAS LIKE, SHUT. UP. HANNAH. DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE YOURE ANY SPECIAL, WITH YOU PERFECT SKIN AND HAIR AND-HEY! WHAT THE CRAP ARE YOU DOING WITH MY CHOCOLATE!

And don't even get me STARTED on zits. OH MY GOD, MY FACE LOOKS LIKE THE MOON AND ITS CRATERS RIGHT NOW!

OKAY I GOTTA GO SCREAM AT MY BROTHER. AND NO. MY ANGER IS NOT IRRATIONAL!
