People with short hair will never know the struggles of having long hair. That’s why we’re here to help shed light on those struggles. If you have ever had long hair, you will be able to relate to every single one of these.
1) The Horse Tail
We’ve all been here. You put your jacket on and forget to pull your hair through and you have a classic case of horse tail.
2) That Lumpy Bun
Trendy buns are one thing, but even if you just want your hair out of the way, there is a struggle. Most of the time, it flops around and you can’t sit it up straight. Cue the bop, you can probably feel it now.

3) When They Don’t Break
Most of the time, the ponytail holders break. But when they don’t, they tear out a big old chunk of hair when you try to get them out. Sure, you go gentle and you might get a few less. But where’s the fun in that?
4) Milky Hair
Good luck with your Cocoa Puffs. When you just wake up and you’re trying to get around, things are ten times harder. Shaking off the sleepiness is hard enough without trying to keep your hair out of everything.

5) It Was Your Last One
Breaking ponytail holders and barrettes have become so normal that you buy twice as many as you actually need so you can make sure you always have some. This is even worse when you have extra thick hair.
6) The Accidental Whip
When someone is behind you and they say something, it’s hard not to spin around. When you do, you might just slap them in the face with your hair. This is even worse if you have braids in.

7) So We Can Be Safe
It’s great to wear your seatbelt. But that little tug when your get your hair stuck is no fun at all. There’s only one way to fix it and it involves backtracking, also difficult. Unless you’re okay with the grab and pull out a chunk.
8) Good Luck With Nachos
Ugh! Hair in food is gross. But what about your hair in your own food? What do you do first? Go clean your hair? Clean up the mess it made on the table? Finish eating? It’s hard to decide.

9) Thick-Haired Peeps Know
So, this is a huge problem if you have rather thick, wavy hair. Girls with curly hair would shave their heads before using a comb on their dry hair, so this one is for those with the straight tangles.
10) Just An Inch
A lot of people with long hair end up learning to give themself a trim. Because it’s such a big deal to go to the salon. The hairstylist wants more than you ask for. They want to do something drastic every time.

11) People Are Grossed Out
The people that touch your hair without your consent are the same people that are grossed out by the shower hair. You know, it’s the same hair. Sure it’s wet, but it’s kind of fun to make pictures with.

12) The Window Pain
Whether you’re shutting your hair in the door or rolling it up in the window, car doors can be a problem. People with short hair will neve understand why others keep an eye on that door when they close it and lean away.
13) So Much For The High Ponytail
A high ponytail is pretty much non-existant. You try to make it high and it still slinks down your back. Sure, it can be cute but sometimes you want the swish without feeling it. In an ideal world, of course.

14) The Dryer Spiders
How many times do these freak you out, thinking you have spiders in your dryer? Where the hair comes from and how it creates these monstrosities, we may never know. But they are freaky.
15) This Is Why We Ask For Help
Sure, you could struggle for a while and sometimes you get lucky. But it’s nearly impossible to put on a necklace like this without pulling a few hairs. That’s why we bring it around to the front.

16) Look, But Don’t Touch
Why in the world do people insist on touching our long hair? It’s even worse when you meet them in the bathroom and they are in line to wash their hands. Come on, people, be courteous.

17) Keeping Up With Trends
The top-knot doesn’t always work out with long hair. You want a cute spiral and you get a lump of bun half the size of your head. It’s not always a good look and it can be pretty heavy at times.
18) It’s A Compliment
I’m pretty sure that being mistaken for a woman is a good thing. It means you have soft, silky hair from behind. When they see you turn around, they are usually nothing but awestruck and embarrassed.

19) Even The Smoothest Hair
Even the smoothest hair gets that knot on the back of their neck at times. The wind, chairs, and everything in between makes sure that it happens on a regular basis. It’s the worst of tangles.

20) The Inevitable Tickle
The thing is, it doesn’t just tickle, but it feels like there’s a spider crawling up the back of your leg.
21) How Should You Carry Your Books?
Messenger bags are torture. They get caught putting them on and get caught taking them off. It feels like you’re making a scene when you sit down because you’re getting wrapped up in your bag.

22) Careful With Satin
This one is so annoying. It’s half the reason that wearing a towel on your head is so important. No one wants their clothes to get wet, but it’s hard to stop it when you’re on the go after a shower.

23) Got Shampoo?
Although we use more conditioner than shampoo, this dad insisted his daughter used too much of both. So he bought her a gallon of each. That should last her the rest of the month, right?

24) Every 30 Seconds
Losing hair is bad, but you don’t notice it too often. Unless you’re brushing your hair and have already pulled out a ball the same size as the cat. Kind of embarrassing but what is a person to do?

25) It Hurts Too
Getting your hair caught in the zipper is no fun. It hurts and it makes the zipper not work until ou get every last strand out. Sometimes it sets you back a good thirty minutes. And they wonder why you’re late.

26) Wind-Blown Locks
Wind-blown hair is romanticized but it’s actually a struggle that messes with people with long hair. Sure, short-haired people complain about their styles being messed up, but at least it doesn’t beat your face.
27) Get A Hair Towel
This is especially true when you’re at a motel. They have tiny towels that can barely dry you, let alone hold your hair in that classic towel-do. This is why you buy towels specifically for your hair.

28) Can’t See Angel Wings
If you have long hair, wearing something on the back of your shirt is pointless. It’s hard enough if you like to pull your hair around the front. But the back? That is never going to happen.

29) We Hate These Chairs
To be honest, this was one of the worst things at school. The chairs that ripped your hair out. Especially when the person sitting behind you would be a brat and pull your hair through the holes.

30) Soon To Be One
This is a serious problem, probably even for people with short hair who use bobby pins. You buy a huge box of them and pretty soon, you’re left with the remnants of the past. Maybe there’s one in the bottom of your purse?

31) The Stray Hair
Whenever you try to put your hair up, there’s always that strand that gets lose and ensure that you have to start over. It’s such a hassle to even put your hair up in a simple ponytail. People wonder why you don’t.
32) The Ramen Position
Eating noodles when you have long hair can be a struggle. There must be some sort of ancient Japanese trick to it. Obviously one that none of us know. Maybe one day we’ll learn the secret. But until then, this is our strategy.
33) At Least The Burrito Was Good
Getting your hair in food sucks, but getting food in your hair might be worse. Sometimes, it sits there for hours, spreading, with you unaware. If you see food in someone’s hair, please tell them.

34) Even The Dog’s Vitamins
Guess you can’t even close a bottle without getting your hair caught. When it sounds like someone with long hair is exaggerating, remember this picture. Let them vent and move on with your life.
