# 17 Struggles All People with Big Hair Know All Too Well ...

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. It's horrifically hot in the summertime, it's the mortal enemy of every hair elastic ever invented, and it destroys your hat game as a matter of course. The higher the hair, the closer to heaven 😇, but if you have big, beautiful hair, I bet you know all about the struggle.

## 1. When Your Hair Becomes Your Beard 🎅 in Every Photo

![person, profession, Leviathan, Now, know,](https://img.allw.mn/content/xc/ff/vrw0rihm57940119abb60975066741_500x271.gif)

True facts, you can easily turn big hair into facial hair – and sometimes, it's not even on purpose.

## 2. One Errant Gust of Wind 🌬 and You Are Suddenly Blind

Of course, you know better than to go out on a windy day when you're wearing your hair down.

## 3. You Have Way Too Much in Common with the Girl from the Ring

This is not your idea of a soul sister, tbh.

## 4. You Murder Hair Ties …

It's a massacre, honestly – thousands and thousands of precious, stretchy lives lost because they could not withstand the pressure of holding in your hair.

## 5. … and Brushes Constantly

![photography, black and white, facial expression, art, portrait photography,](https://img.allw.mn/content/jd/dr/vf9st7dt5794011aec1e2428672981_500x281.gif)

You know you're in for a rough day when you start off by breaking your brush for the tenth time.

## 6. You've Yet to Find a Hat That Fits You 👒

They all flatten your hair and make you feel like your brain is about to be squeezed out of your ears.

## 7. The Same Goes for Hoodies

No matter what you do, your hair spills out and probably ends up in your mouth.

## 8. Your Top Knot 👸 is so Huge, It Hits the Ceiling of Your Car

![hair, hairstyle, supermodel, model, singing,](https://img.allw.mn/content/qm/y2/btdvvml45794011ca4edc810047490_500x270.gif)

Not only is it distracting as hell, but it effectively ruins your hairdo of the day.

## 9. When Someone Sits behind Your Top Knot, You Genuinely Feel Bad

![ape,](https://img.allw.mn/content/z5/im/we7tp9k75794011d32ee6927890304_500x281.gif)

There's no way the people behind you can see over your big bun, no way.

## 10. Brushing Your Hair Doesn't Actually Make It More Manageable at All

![clothing, hair, person, model, photography,](https://img.allw.mn/content/oq/pa/iryrv9f85794011d39e30863129167_500x281.gif)

You just break your brush, really.

## 11. Humidity is Not Your Friend 🌞

![person, profession, kyliedennercandAds,](https://img.allw.mn/content/j3/ss/xpl8vmtj5794011f5e1be510658144_500x254.gif)

Humidity just makes your hair bigger and sweatier, then it laughs at you.

## 12. TSA ✈️ Always Pats down Your Hair

![hair, hairstyle, black hair, singing, singer,](https://img.allw.mn/content/ed/ec/r6fqtfsh5794011df2d42647368997_500x281.gif)

Because who knows what's hiding in there – knives, needles, grenades, Elvis.

## 13. You Have 1,000 Bobby Pins

![hair, person, hairstyle, emotion, singing,](https://img.allw.mn/content/a5/yh/efq9h87c5794011dd4239787053419_500x280.gif)

Half of them are still lost in your hair, though.

## 14. The Struggle of Headphones 🎧 is Atrocious

![person, facial expression, emotion, singer, singing,](https://img.allw.mn/content/fc/h5/q1tf8ymi579401212fdf0304883541_500x277.gif)

They never fit, they never cover your ears, and you've probably broken a pair before – thank goodness for earbuds, right?

## 15. Drying Your Hair Takes an Eternity, Give or Take

![person, hair, hairstyle, skin, mouth,](https://img.allw.mn/content/w4/ua/ti95wh245794011f8fd00627395469_490x275.gif)

If you put it up while before it's dry, it will still be wet seven days later.

## 16. Ditto for Washing 🚿

![singing, person, musician, singer, DEMETRIASASSVAT,](https://img.allw.mn/content/cv/a9/f90m83ft5794011f4e68a577500783_500x281.gif)

The “quarter-size dollop” you're supposed to use is more like seventy-five cents, ha!

## 17. You Use so Much Conditioner!

![clothing, red, color, black, white,](https://img.allw.mn/content/tc/db/mz36krgb57940121a05ca027525432_500x248.gif)

Half a bottle of conditioner every time and you still have mad tangles when you get out.

Who out there has big hair? Tell us your woes!
