Big hair, don't care – right? Yeeeah, not so much. Although women with big, lush locks 👩🏽 are the envy of people with fine, lank, thin, limp, or short hair, it's no picnic all the time. It's hot, it's heavy, it's wild, and it can even give you a headache – all that weight, you know.

The higher the hair, the closer to heaven 😇, but if you have big, beautiful hair, I bet you know all about the struggle.
