This one’s for you, blondies! Blondes might have more fun, but there are serious struggles that come with having golden locks. Here are 15 of the best examples:
1. Your hair loses its natural lightness as you get older. Why??
2. Blonde jokes. Come on, can’t people think of anything better? They’re not creative, people!
3. The assumption that you’re an idiot. Blondes can be just as smart as brunettes and redheads. Seriously.
4. The sting of lemon juice. Every blonde has tried to keep her locks at sunshine-y as possible with the natch juices. Unfortunately, the eyes usually get in the way.
5. Maintenance. One bad winter and the hair can change from light blonde to dark.
6. The added expense. In order to keep your shade the same, you have to buy blonde-specific shampoo and conditioner. And that’s just the beginning…
7. “Are you a natural brunette?” Hey, sometimes the roots are just darker then the rest of your hair. It’s still real, darnit!
8. “Is that your real color?” Pretty much the same question, but still. ANNOYING.
9. Coloring. Sometimes, when you wanna add a little fun to your locks (like pink, for example), you run the risk of never getting your natural color back. Ever.
10. Shedding. Yes, we all shed, but since blondes can’t see their hair, it causes them to freak out. “Is it my hair or is it a spider on my arm?!”
11. CHLORINE. Pools can be the worst of the worst. Hello, green hair.
12. The love-hate relationship with the sun. Yes, it lightens our locks, but us blondies are far more sensitive to the sun.
13. You were ALWAYS Baby Spice. Once, just ONCE, it would’ve been nice to have the choice to be any other Spice Girl.
14. Grease is NOT the word. Heaven forbid you don’t wash your hair within 24 hours.
15. Everything is visible. Bobby pins, hair ties, extensions –. all visible!
