Here are 16 #firstworldproblems of girls with long hair. The struggle is real.

Finding your hair EVERYWHERE

On your pillows, on the floor, in the car, down the drain, on your clothes, on your boyfriend’s clothes and even in your food. It’s actually a miracle you’re not bald!

Shutting your hair in the car door. Every. Damn. Day.

Or car window, they’re both equally as painful.

The AGONY of hair untangling

Only to have it knot and tangle all over again in five minutes. Why do we even bother?

Forever feeling phantom bugs or creepy crawlies on your skin

Nope, just your long hair playing silly tricks on you again!

The fear of going up in flames

Cooking with your hair out? Don't even think about it. 

Trying to convince yourself the hair tie you wear on your wrist day in, day out looks chic, totally passable as a bracelet, and not at all gross and manky

No, you’re totally right, because a stretched out piece of elastic with stray hairs stuck to it isn’t disgusting at all.

The eternal reminder on your wrist that you’ll never be without said hair tie

And to be honest, you’d be totally screwed without it.

Finally, after months of grim determination and hard work, getting your hair tie to wrap around your pony three times

Because two is never enough.

...Only to have it snap almost immediately

So you have to start the process all. Over. Again.

The sticky situation of lipgloss

Unless you really love the feeling of hair in your mouth, then pucker up.

You spend your entire pay on restocking your shampoo and conditioner supply

Long locks cost a lot to stay flawless.... or do they?

Waiting about a month for your hair to dry

Made about 1000 times worse in winter thanks to the feeling of wet, cold hair on your back.

Getting your hair caught in everything. EVERYTHING

Zippers, buttons, bag straps, pens, seat belts, jewellery. Anything it can get stuck in, under or around, it will.

Leaving a trace of bobby pins wherever you go

Started out with hundreds, now down to five.

Brushing your hair is a workout

The arms, they ache so baaad.

Styling takes forever

Planning on curling your locks? Cute! Better set aside at least three hours for that one.
