Girls with long hair (and long-haired) guys know that it can be a struggle dealing with that luxurious mane. Like, when we take a shower there are always pesky strands that find their way into our butt cracks and we have to pull them out. You have to admit though…it feels kind of good.

Seatbelts – cars in general – are a nuisance when it comes to long hair. Our hair is always getting caught in the seatbelt. Then we don’t notice it and we go to stand up and nearly break our necks.

Every. Single. Time. 

No matter how much you flip your hair behind you, some of it always gets caught in your jacket zipper. Then you have to tear it out and pull all the strands out of the zipper so it can close again.

Forget it. Long hair and lip gloss do not mix. Even the slightest hint of wind and your hair is clinging to your lips for dear life. Probably better to go with a matte lip if you’re going to wear your hair down.

Drying it takes forever. Sometimes you rather just put it up and not deal with the drying process. But then you go to take a shower the next day and realize that your hair is still damp from the day before. I’m pretty sure that’s how mold sets in.

If you thought drying your long hair took forever, try styling it. You quickly develop extremely strong forearm muscles from holding up a straightener or curling iron for what seems like hours. It’s a labor-intensive process to say the least.

The windows down in the car will turn your mane into a hair cyclone that will suck up anything in its path: bugs, lint, those stray Cheetos in the backseat. While a fresh breeze is nice, you might just prefer the A/C.

Whenever we put a backpack on or a purse, we’ve got to pull our hair out from under the shoulder strap.Then we have to do an awkward move to get it out. It literally gets stuck on every single thing.

Oh, and it always gets stuck in your armpit. It’s even worse when you give someone else a hug and your hair gets stuck in THEIR armpit. Then your hair is damp and covered in someone else’s BO. 

Yuck.

The idea of a man running his fingers through your hair may seem nice. But, it’s just a fantasy. He’s going to hit a tangle and rip out your hair, then you’re going to get mad.

You’re all too familiar with this dreaded drain monster. You shed so much in the shower that you probably need to get a bottle of Drano at least once every couple of months. All that hair can’t be good for the plumbing.

Speaking of shedding, you’ve probably seen some of these floating around your house, albeit much smaller. It’s like all the stray fallen hairs have banded together to tumble along your living room.

The amount of money you spend on hair products is ridiculous. You go through so much shampoo and conditioner, you’re probably better off getting the industrial sized containers. Also, hair gel, hair spray, etc. You go through that quicker than that milk that’s been sitting in your fridge.

I’d be in the negatives if I lost weight like I lost bobby-pins. You always buy a ton, but you end up with two. All the lost bobby-pins in the world must be in some limbo with all the lost hair elastics and single socks.

You try to put your hair up to keep it out of your face, but your messy bun just ends up looking like an animal’s nest. I really wouldn’t be surprised if that thing housed an entire family of small rodents. Maybe just go for some braids.
