16 Things I Love And Hate About My Long Hair

Barbara Flannery

It's truly a love/ hate relationship with my long hair.

I love how pretty it is, When it's clean!

Pretty

Giphy

I have naturally oily hair so it's an everyday wash situation. After it's fluffy and pretty.

I hate the fact that I have to wash it EVERYDAY.

If I don't wash it everyday I look gross. My roots have that oily look and sticks to my scalp. It makes me wish I had a different type of hair.

It's low maintenance and I love that.

Other than the daily wash it doesn't require much in the way of upkeep. Brush in the morning and it's good to go all day. Most of the time anyway.

I hate my split ends.

Split ends

The longer it gets the more split ends I have. They make brushing after washing a bit of a nightmare.

It's easy to color/ bleach and I dig that.

Blonde

Giphy

My hair doesn't take long to absorb color or change to a lighter shade when being bleached. 20 minutes under the dryer and I'm good to go.

It grows too fast.

It grows at a quick rate. You know the saying that you either get good hair or good nails. I have good hair and my wallet can't quite keep up with the growth rate to keep the roots bleached.

It's healthy and that makes me happy.

Happy Hair

Giphy

My hair is very healthy. It makes the constant bleaching easy because it can withstand the damage.

It's fine and that makes me not so happy.

Each strand is very fine which makes for massive knots that make me want to cry when I have to brush them out.

It's versatile and I love it.

My hairdresser loves to try new things on my hair because of its versatility. Up do's, braids, different styles. She can play with my hair for hours.

It won't hold a perm, and I hate that.

I love the look of curly hair but my hair does not like the thought of it. I have had perms a couple of times and within a month they fall flat.

It drys quickly after a wash.

I don't have to use a blow dryer unless I'm in a hurry for it for it to dry. No need to heat damage my lovely locks.

Straight hair can be a bit boring.

Straight hair

Giphy

There is a lot that you can do with straight hair but because I'm picky with hair styles and such it just stays straight.

It gets compliments all the time.

From the color to the length, I get a lot of compliments about my hair.

Long hair means headaches.

Leaving it a ponytail for long periods of time often leaves me with a killer headache after taking it down.

Straight hair goes with any outfit.

Any outfit

Giphy

My long straight hair works with dressy outfits or jeans and a t-shirt. There is no need to change my hairstyle for the outfit I want to wear.

It gets pulled A LOT.

Pulled alot

Giphy

It doesn't get done on purpose but it gets pulled by my son and my fiance all the time. It's even gotten caught in the car door. OUCH!

Long hair has its likes and dislikes. It's beautiful but it can also be a handful to at times. I definitely have a love/ hate relationship with my hair but I wouldn't change it for anything.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
