When you give up blow drying not because it is damaging but because it takes too dang long.

You've developed biceps from updos.

You don't notice the giant spider crawling up your arm because you're used to your hair hitting you.

You haven't considered how weirded out people might be when they walked into your bathroom and see oils, vinegar, baking soda, and five thousand hair toys.

Your goals never feel long enough!!!

You hurt your hand and have to keep the dressing dry -- "Yay, now I can stretch my washes, go out in public, AND have an excuse for the grease!"

Your excited to try the new Herbal Essence Honey line but you just washed your hair yesterday ... so it's a battle of excitement to try sometime new and patience and energy to wash and dry your hair.

This decision was so much simpler at BSL and before.

Or, conversely, you try washing your hair with one hand and throw your neck out and end up on the couch in a neck brace for a day.

(Hope your hand heals quickly!)

You realize a regular ponytail will no longer "cut it" as an exercise style unless you want the equivalent of a rats nest on the underside and the annoyance of catching your hair under your armpit the entire time.

Braids, braided ponytail, and bun(s) are my new best friends!

When you bend down to play with or pet the cat/dog, they are enveloped in a curtain of hair.

When your roommate picks up a shed hair of yours and instead of throwing it away with a disgusted look, she plays with it and holds it up to her own head to see how long it would be on her. She then marvels at the fact that it covers her boobs.

Definitely a positive long hair moment!

When you're afraid of baking because the heat from the oven could potentially damage your hair (even when it's up).

Yep, need a good sturdy bun for running

My SO sort of does this, except he's usually complaining that the hairs are too close to his computer
