    Cons

    • why the fuck is it still wet

    • need like twice as much shampoo/conditioner/etc as everybody else, don’t even bother trying to dye it

    • gets caught on things like door handles, etc

    • wife sometimes lays or sits on it by accident, I sometimes lay or sit on it by accident

    • brushing my hair now takes half an hour because I have to empty the brush of stray hairs after every brushstroke

    • I shed like a motherfucker and now my house is strewn with long bronzeish hairs somehow

    • always finding its way into my face or my mouth, somehow

    • actually kind of heavy, sorta weighs on my skull

    • sweaty

    • people always want to touch it which requires some boundary setting

    • too much for a bun probably, and a ponytail still getd in the way

      -just leave the towel on my hair while I game.
      -i get all my shampoo for free because I steal things.
      -i once got it caught on a conveyor belt but i quit that job the same day so whatever.
      -i live alone.
      -just let it be wild and matted like nature intended, people will think you’ve been having sex and won’t try to proposition you.
      -the fact that i shed is everybody else’s problem.
      -skill issue.
      -skill issue.
      -i don’t sweat, that’s gross.
      -i occasionally get compliments from old ladies but people instinctually know not to touch me.
      -that’s a you problem for trying to tame a wild mane.
