Over the past few years I have been growing my hair out and it’s got very long, and as much as I love having lengthy hair I did not realise the following things:
1. Conditioner will become your best friend.
2. You will become tangled and trapped in your own hair. This happens most mornings…
3. When you brush you hair and it will shed and think your hair is falling out. The amount of hair that ends up in my tangle teezer is insane.
4. Talking about tangle teezers, once you discover these you will never go back to a normal brush. Brushing your hair goes from 20 minutes down to 10 with one of these bad boys!
5. You think your hair takes forever to dry? Try having long hair, it takes longer for me to dry my hair then it does for me to do my makeup and get dressed…
6. As it takes so long to dry most mornings you won’t actually have the time to style it.
7. It will get caught in EVERYTHING! Your bag, purse, sofa, zippers, and the worst….the car door!
8. You will contemplate getting the chop a millions times, but you’ve had it so long it becomes a part of you and the thought of parting with it is too much.
Let me know if you have long hair too and what else you would add to the ‘truth about having long hair’ list!

I so agree with this and it looks so pretty but you have so many struggles. I need to try the tangle brush.

Thank you! xxx
Haha love this people really don’t understand the struggles of long hair! If I go to bed with wet hair its still wet when I wake up :( I also recently bought a tangle teezer and it has changed my life! And going to the hairdressers is a very stressful experience…what if they cut too much off?! x

Oh gosh mine is the same, I can never go to bed with wet hair as it doesn’t dry haha! Yes, I always get worried about them cutting too much off haha x
Yes! I couldn’t have long hair without a Tangle teezer. They are incredible.

I don’t own a Tangle Teezer but it sounds like a magical product! I should definitely invest in owning one.

I never succeeded growing my hair, so I have to rely to hair extensions every time.
