Hair caught in the zipper...

**CreatureBailey** · March 10th, 2016, 05:12 PM

So yesterday I wasn't careful and zipped my coat and the ends of my braid caught in it. I managed to free it, but three hair got cut about 1 cm because of it. I DID NOT ASK FOR THOSE HAIRS TO BE CUT!

Like I was literally insulted the whole day. I felt like the universe gave me a huge f*** you. Like I am a hair grower and everything and then suddenly a little accident happens and it CUTS SOME OF THEM. Am I a joke or what?

I just hope it didn't damage my hair? Does anyone ever had this happened to them? Does it cause breakage or literally nothing?

It doesn't sound like it was too awful if you were able to free them without cutting it off its scissors! I think this kind of stuff happens with everyone

1cm isn't a lot, and neither is 3 hairs.

It would probably cause breakage if it happened everyday. But once or twice a year, nah. You're good!

Well, I guess I just gotta be more careful! From now one I will be extra careful when I zip my coats...

3 hairs? Honestly? Try and not worry about it as much, because 3 hairs is nothing.

Says someone who alarmed everyone to her breakage when 5 hairs broke at the ends.

I guess we all do it, don't we?

lol

OP, dont worry, you´ve got like 150 000 more of ´em. I do agree its irritating when it happens though. The other year I accidentally had a whole chunk of hair being caught in the zipper of my jacket while I was grocery shopping. That wasnt exactly the best time and place to stop and try to save them poor, trapped ends either. I still remember the internal dialogue and how it only consisted of one, single word of desperation. "f***...".

Yep, don't stress about it.

Also, hairs caught in zippers that don't break get the weirdest zigzaggy bumps in them. It's bizarre.

It is a right of passage for long hairs IMHO

The amount you lost was negligible; forget about it!

Once you do it....you will NOT forget to check lol....anything else is purely accidental; it happens and it will be fine
