Having long hair is both a blessing and a curse.

On one hand, you feel like a Disney princess with your glorious mane. On the other hand, you are a little too familiar with these 13 struggles thanks to those luscious locks of yours.

You Shouldn't Ever Step Out Unprepared

Leaving your house without a hair tie is a very risky move. You really can't live without one.

 

A Ponytail Helps—a Little

Putting your hair in a ponytail is almost pointless, because your hair is just as long when it's down.

 

The Shed Is Real

You find your hair literally anywhere and everywhere. The worst is when you find it in your food.

 

Your Hair Snags on Everything

The amount of things your hair can get caught in is endless. Zippers, bags, chairs, trees. You name it, your hair will get stuck in it.

You Dread Brushing Your Hair

Brushing your hair drains all of your energy. At least you can count it as your exercise for the day!

 

And Forget About Blow-Drying

It takes hours, days, even weeks for your hair to be fully blow-dried.

 

Dolling Up Is an All-Day Project

Trying to curl or flat iron your hair in less than 15 hours is mission impossible.

 

You Have to Wonder If You're Losing Hair

You've convinced yourself you're going bald, because you pull out strand after strand after strand of hair whenever you shower.

 

Haircuts Are a Gamble

Getting a haircut is your biggest fear, because you're always worried the stylist is going to chop it all off.

 

It Gets in the Way of Your Style

You forget that your hair covers everything, so no one can see that you're wearing the cutest tee ever.

 

You Use So Much Product

You run out of shampoo and conditioner almost every other day.
