Short hair struggles? Psh, please. I don't have those... Just kidding. If your short hair is an unruly mess, this one's for you! Thankfully, I don't have super short hair right now, but boy, do I know the struggle of a frizzy bob. A girl who manages to keep her short hair sleek is a force to be reckoned with. Here are just 14 of the biggest pain-in-the-butt struggles that we short haired girls have to endure!
1. When your hair reaches your shoulders, and you think, "I'VE GOT TO GET IT CUT."
That tickly itch? The possibility of your purse or backpack strap laying over your hair and nearly ripping your hair out? No thank you.
2. Looking at girls with long hair and thinking "I wish I had long hair again."
Sigh....
3. Also thinking "I wish my hair was shorter. I wouldn't have to style it as much."
As if. Don't believe that thought. It's a lie.
4. Wanting to skip washing your hair for the day but realizing that it's too short to put in a messy bun.
And then having to use endless amounts of bobby pins to secure all the falling pieces.
5. Constantly changing the color and highlights.
The shorter the hair, the less hair you have to dye!
6. People say, "You look so much older with short hair!"
Uhm... Thanks?
7. Not being able to braid it without it falling out everywhere.
Once again, endless amounts of bobby pins EVERYWHERE.
8. Pulling your hair back in a twist, and all the pieces around your face fall out.
I can just lie and say I threw it up in a twist, right?
9. No more sleek hairstyles.
That sleek ponytail? Yeah right. As soon as you leave the house, it'll have a slight curl to the ends of the pieces.
10. You end up wasting (on average) 4 hours a day looking on Pinterest for ways to style your hair differently.
Sure, that's the average amount of time... But we all know it's really more like 6 hours.
11. When the wind says "yes," your hair says "NO."
"I was going for a windswept look."
12. If you don't blow dry it immediately, it will dry on its own and develop an attitude.
The beast is never tamable unless it's wet.
13. Always being asked if you cut your hair recently, even though it's been 6 weeks since the last time you cut it.
Nope, but thanks for reminding me that I need to schedule an appointment to make it even shorter.
14. You're never able to roll out of bed and just go. If you did, people would ask, "Are you okay?"
I'm fine. I just didn't leave enough time to fix my hair... Or my life.
The struggle is real, ladies. How do we put up with it? By using lots of product and a straightener. Some people say that hair is like a security blanket, and that's why they can't cut it. But with short hair, we're ready to take on the world! Let's face it, even though we say we'll grow out our hair, it'll never happen. There are just too many perks to having short hair!
