It's truly a love/ hate relationship with my long hair.
I love how pretty it is, When it's clean!
Pretty
GiphyI have naturally oily hair so it's an everyday wash situation. After it's fluffy and pretty.
I hate the fact that I have to wash it EVERYDAY.
If I don't wash it everyday I look gross. My roots have that oily look and sticks to my scalp. It makes me wish I had a different type of hair.
It's low maintenance and I love that.
Other than the daily wash it doesn't require much in the way of upkeep. Brush in the morning and it's good to go all day. Most of the time anyway.
I hate my split ends.
Split ends
The longer it gets the more split ends I have. They make brushing after washing a bit of a nightmare.
It's easy to color/ bleach and I dig that.
Blonde
GiphyMy hair doesn't take long to absorb color or change to a lighter shade when being bleached. 20 minutes under the dryer and I'm good to go.
It grows too fast.
It grows at a quick rate. You know the saying that you either get good hair or good nails. I have good hair and my wallet can't quite keep up with the growth rate to keep the roots bleached.
It's healthy and that makes me happy.
Happy Hair
GiphyMy hair is very healthy. It makes the constant bleaching easy because it can withstand the damage.
It's fine and that makes me not so happy.
Each strand is very fine which makes for massive knots that make me want to cry when I have to brush them out.
It's versatile and I love it.
Versitile
My hairdresser loves to try new things on my hair because of its versatility. Up do's, braids, different styles. She can play with my hair for hours.
It won't hold a perm, and I hate that.
I love the look of curly hair but my hair does not like the thought of it. I have had perms a couple of times and within a month they fall flat.
It drys quickly after a wash.
I don't have to use a blow dryer unless I'm in a hurry for it for it to dry. No need to heat damage my lovely locks.
Straight hair can be a bit boring.
Straight hair
GiphyThere is a lot that you can do with straight hair but because I'm picky with hair styles and such it just stays straight.
It gets compliments all the time.
From the color to the length, I get a lot of compliments about my hair.
Long hair means headaches.
Leaving it a ponytail for long periods of time often leaves me with a killer headache after taking it down.
Straight hair goes with any outfit.
Any outfit
GiphyMy long straight hair works with dressy outfits or jeans and a t-shirt. There is no need to change my hairstyle for the outfit I want to wear.
It gets pulled A LOT.
Pulled alot
GiphyIt doesn't get done on purpose but it gets pulled by my son and my fiance all the time. It's even gotten caught in the car door. OUCH!
Long hair has its likes and dislikes. It's beautiful but it can also be a handful to at times. I definitely have a love/ hate relationship with my hair but I wouldn't change it for anything.
