2. Chlorine is your biggest enemy. That whole your-hair-will-turn-green-if-you-swim-too-long thing is no joke. Beware too many pool days or you risk looking like Ryan Lochte post pool-time in Rio.

3. Wait, just kidding: Heat is your biggest enemy. Blonde hair tends to be more fragile, so all that time at Drybar is doing extra damage to your ‘do. Cue the curse of the split ends.

4. You can’t wear pink without looking like Barbie. No matter how much you love the color, it’s hard to pull off without getting into plastic territory.

5. You live off of purple shampoo. Blondes are always battling brassiness. Forgetting your violet shampoo when you pack for a bachelorette weekend with the squad essentially means your strands are screwed.
6. You need special hair ties and bobby pins. Borrowing them from your brunette friend isn’t an option when you have super-light hair. That is, unless you want it to be super obvious that your strands are being held in place by 24 pins.
7. You can’t leave the house without mascara. The lighter your hair, the lighter your lashes. In fact, without mascara, they’re practically invisible. Be wary of scaring small children in the mornings.

8. Filling in your brows can be a b*tch. Same thing goes for your brows. Even if they’re thick, they’re light, which makes achieving a Lilly Collins-level brow game almost impossible.

9. Roots are always an issue. Blondes have to deal with constant color upkeep. Spending even a couple hours in the sun lightens your hair, which is great until you’re suddenly dealing with dark roots a couple weeks later. One more reason to wish summer would last forever.
10. People think you’re dumb. The worst thing about being a blonde is having to deal with a lifetime of dumb blonde jokes. Get new material, haters.
