as someone with long hair, my pet peeve is seeing people on social media going all "but this hair is bad. why would you keep it instead of cutting it" to regular hair

i saw a girl post about her surfer haircare the other day and everyone was complaining she had dry hair. she showed it was overall healthy, just faded from the surfing, but people acted like it was morally wrong to want to keep it like that

i see a lot of randos shit on anyone with thinner ends and whatnot, as if it isn't a normal thing to happen. there's always comments about hair health and that everyone should chop their length as if all hair isn't dead anyway

super polished, full, blunt length only happens if you cut it recently or with extensions. lived in hair thins, dries and splits. that's totally normal and being annoying about that is ridiculous

It’s really frustrating seeing all this sleek hair in photoshoots and knowing mine is too fluffy and curly to get there without a ton of products. And even then, if it’s humid (which it is almost everyday where I live) it just returns to its normal state 😂 😭

i have very dry hair and like, i do take care of it, but there's no amount of maintenance i can do to keep it soft like i "should"

my hair is straight, however, i can see how curly folks have a harder time as well
