Having long hair always seems to be such an easy thing to live with. Lots of people assume that you brush it, maybe style it, then go about your day. But those with loads of hair can assure you that's surely not the case. Long hair is like having a dog- it needs to be groomed and cared for, otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.
1. Styling takes forever.
When it comes to having long hair, the styling process can take a while. Depending if you wash it or not, there are a lot of things to do in order to achieve the hairstyle you want. It'll need to be blow-dried, brushed, curled, straightened, twisted, pinned, tied, or whatever else may need to be done.
2. People wanting to touch it.
For some reason, having long hair often gives others the desire to touch it in some way. Depending on how well you know the person, they might ask to feel it, or they might ask to do some sort of hairstyle. In some cases, they might not ask at all and just nonchalantly touch your hair instead.
3. Getting stuck in things.
I can tell you from personal experience, having long hair means it can get stuck in a thing or two. It can get stuck in the backs of chairs at school, it can get stuck in car doors, it can get caught in buttons and zippers, and just about anything you can think of. (Side story; the last concert that I went to I refused to wear my hair up. It ended up getting stuck in some girl's phone case by the time the second opening band has began performing.)
4. Getting in the way.
If you plan on wearing your hair down on a busy day, chances are it'll get in the way from time to time. If you lean over or bend down to pick something up, your hair will end up swarming your vision, and Constantly looking around and moving your head can cause your hair to fall into your face.
5. Dead or split ends.
Long hair can be both a hassle, and an opportunity to style in anyway you can think of. But after constantly being curled or straightened, it'll become damaged. Without using the proper products to help keep your hair healthy, it'll end up with dead or split ends. But hey, at least you can continue to style and straighten so they don't look as dead as they actually are.
6. Getting tangled. Constantly.
Probably one of the biggest struggles of having long hair is having it become a tangled mess. Brushing it can take forever until all the knots are finally out, but they'll quickly return in a matter of minutes to seconds. Windy and rainy days can quickly turn your hair into a giant bird's nest.
