Having long hair can be both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it can be a great way to express yourself and create a unique look. But on the other hand, it can require a lot of time and effort to take care of. One of the most common struggles of having long hair is the time it takes to style it. Braiding is often seen as an easy go-to style for those with long hair, but it can also be a source of frustration.
Braiding your hair can be a time consuming process, and sometimes it can be difficult to get the braid just right. It can also be hard to keep the braid neat and tidy throughout the day. Plus, if you're trying to create a more intricate braid, such as a French braid, it can be difficult to get the technique right.
Another issue with braiding is that it can be damaging to your hair. If you pull too tightly on your hair when braiding, it can cause breakage and split ends. It's also important to use the right kind of products, such as a heat protectant, to help protect your hair from damage.

Or even worse, that messy bun that you turn to whenever you feel like your hair is going to beat you once and for all!

When it comes to hairspray, it’s pretty much all or nothing. Applying just a little bit will make absolutely no difference.
17. Molting

Hair on your pillows, hair underneath your duvet. HAIR EVERYWHERE!
