We can safely say that taking care of your hair is a worldwide thing. But when it comes to Arabs, hair is basically a baby you're born with. It's something you learn to tame, to congratulate and of course, to handle.

From the continuous pressure of keeping your hair looking as slick as ever, to the difficulties of handling that big bush of curls, here are 9 realities of Arab hair care you'll definitely relate to:

1. It all starts with asking your family, neighbors and anyone in your life for permission before you do anything with that hair

2. Once you do, you joyfully await the congratulations

3. Sometimes you just wish there wasn't that much hair

4. Because handling it is a workout of its own

5. And a maze that seems difficult to get through

6. And when you do decide to get some help ... this happens

7. This too

8. Nonetheless, you receive compliments quite often

Egypt's Amna el Shandaweely  definitely got her fair share of compliments after Project Runway ME .

9. This pretty much sums it all up
