10 Very Real Struggles Of Having Long Hair

5. Your Ponytails Always Fall Apart After Time

Even when you use a brand new, tight hair tie, after a few hours your ponytail has wilted, with the hair tie situated next to your ear rather than on the back of your head. It's a toss up as to whether this turns into a cute, messy look or a matted, homeless one.

4. You Go Through Brushes At A Very Quick Rate

3. Hair Ties Frequently Cut Off Your Circulation
