So earlier this week I posted ten of the things I'd miss about having my long, lustrous locks...so I thought it only natural to follow up with ten of the things I WON'T miss about my hair. Here we go!
1. Having to wash ALL that long hair.
Wash day can sometimes be a pain because of soooo much hair. You definitely have to block out a whole day for the process.
2. The air-dry wait time
I don't own a blow dryer so it takes FOREVER for my hair to dry. I won't miss those wet pillow cases!

3. Long Hair
I know this one was on my "Miss List" but it goes here too because sometimes all that long hair just gets in the way and gets pretty tedious.

4. The weight
Most of the time I don't notice it, but from time to time my head feels like it weighs two tons and I'm betting it's from all that hair.

5. Picking out lint balls
Yes, lint balls get stuck in there every now and then. You gotta pick them out unless you're going for the unkempt look....I am not.

6. Getting caught by my hair
I very often get stuck because my hair gets caught up in my clothes, backpack, doors, jewelry, etc. and I feel a little silly detangling myself from myself.

7. Feeling grossed out when my hair sweeps the floor as I bend down
It's just soooo long, that if I don't remember to hold it up when I bend down while it's in a down-do then it definitely touches the ground. This is especially gross in restrooms lol.

8. The questions
I get soo many questions about my hair, and most of the time I don't really mind, but it does get exhausting after a while. It's one of the reasons I created this blog!

9. Difficulty finding a good sleep position
Some hairstyles are IMPOSSIBLE to sleep on with "hard hair" lol...I won't miss that. I love a good night's sleep.

10. Hair discrimination
I don't feel like I am subjected to this very often or anything but there have definitely been those moments where I felt like I knew I was being treated a certain way because of my locks or not getting a certain role or gig because of them. The world needs to change.
