1. You know that shaving is not optional in the summer because your leg hair can be seen from miles and miles away.

2. You know that the same is true for your armpit hair, which mean that you pretty much live in a world of razor burn and broken dreams for six months of the year.

You might even have fallen for one of those awful creams that claim to lighten the skin on the underarm. Ether they burn the crap out of your skin or they smell like a flower bomb and do nothing.

3. You know that if you want to change your hair color, you better have a small fortune in the bank.

You need to bleach, then go over with color, then go over with highlights. And those cute pastel colors everyone is all about right now? Yeah, you can forget those.

4. And you know that all that peroxide is going to damage your hair to hell and back.

5. With all the steps, you know that any type of hair change is a guaranteed day spent in the salon, sitting in a chair for hours on end.

Blonde friend: "Do you want to get lunch on Tuesday?"

You: "I can't, I'm getting my hair done that day."

Blonde friend: "Oh, okay! How about dinner?"

You: "I can't, I'm getting my hair done that day."

6. And don't think that this is a one-time deal. Your roots will be enticing you back to the salon almost constantly.

Thank God for the whole ombre trend.

7. When it comes to Disney Princesses, your options are pretty limited.

So do you want to be Belle, Jasmine, or Belle for Halloween this year?

8. You can pretty much never wear white, because your hair will be all over it in two hours.

"I didn't know you had a dog!" I don't.

9. When you meet someone who understands your hair struggles, you've found your new instant best friend for life.

10. Everyone will assume you're smarter than your blonde counterparts.

This can get inconvenient if you have no idea what you're talking about.

11. But going blonde? You know that that's out of the question.

'Cause you know you look damn good.
