"You smile when your finer-haired friends say, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;d do anything for gorgeous, thick hair like yours,&amp;quot; but they have no idea how much work those lush strands can be, or that sometimes you do anything not to have to wake up an hour earlier for school just to do your hair. Here are some of the other major struggles every girl with thick hair can relate to.  1. You can&amp;#039;t put your hair in a high ponytail for more than two hours. Your hair is so heavy that the ponytail starts to sag and you get a headache after couple of hours.  2. You break hair elastics all the time. You&amp;#039;re waiting for someone to invent a hair tie stretchy enough to support your mega mane. 3. When you say you&amp;#039;ll be busy all day doing your hair, you mean it. The deep conditioning, the frizz-fighting treatments, the brushing, the blow drying, the flat ironing\u2014there&amp;#039;s just so much that goes into maintaining that mane.  4. Bedhead takes on an entirely different meaning for you. You wouldn&amp;#039;t be caught dead in an #IWokeUpLikeThis selfie. 5. You go through conditioner at an alarming rate. You have to buy those jumbo ones from Costco.  6. Four out of five brushes will get caught in your hair, and fine-tooth combs don&amp;#039;t even stand a chance. It takes a serious tool to get through your mane without splitting in two.  7. Attempting one of those cute updos you see in YouTube tutorials is a joke. Oh, look at you with your adorable little side chignon while my crazy, thick hair is just a beast that cannot be tamed. #Jealous. 8. Your hair is always on your clothes, your friend&amp;#039;s clothes, the floor, your drain\u2026and pretty much everywhere else. You shed more than the dog.  9. It basically takes all day to air dry. You shower in the morning, and 10 hours later, it&amp;#039;s still damp.  10. But blow drying all that hair is a serious workout. By the time you&amp;#039;re done, your arms are sore and you&amp;#039;re sweating.  Then again, your thinner-haired friends can&amp;#039;t do this: What are your biggest thick hair problems?
