7 Things Only Girls With Long Hair Would Understand

For starters: It basically reaches your butt when it's braided. I can say that, because that's me, above. And now, seven other signs your hair is too long...

1. You get a lot of: "Your hair is so long!" It's almost always followed by an awkward pause that you fill with "Thaaaaank you!" But you know the truth: There was no compliment.

2. A man on the subway tells you, "You look like Cher, nice lady!" Also, you're secretly really happy about it.

3. It gets caught on your purse. I'm not talking about when you have your bag on your shoulder (child's play). I'm talking about when your bag is in the crook of your arm, the strap tugs on your hair and, man, it hurts.

4. You can't wear a bun to save your life because your hair is so heavy that it keeps sliding around, so you just wait for the side bun to come into style. (Looking at you, 2016!)

5. You're at a fancy dinner, and you have to keep throwing your hair over your shoulder because you—and everyone else in the room—are painfully aware that it's grazing the table. Yeah, it's gross.

6. You get tangled and not, like, your hair gets the occasional knot (you'd be happy for the occasional knot). You're tangled as in your hair is caught up in your scarf...and your coat...and your sweater. Help!

7. You decide to write about it. Bye, now. I'm making a hair appointment.
