Ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow. Make sure you de-tangle your hair the correct way when you get out of the shower to avoid any future headaches!

2. You've dyed it every color of the rainbow, and it's totally dried out.

Unfortunately, dye doesn't hide split ends. Try a hair mask to get your hair back to its normal texture.

3. The slightest bit of frizz makes you look like the bride of Frankenstein.

So not cute. Harsh weather can really take a toll on your hair texture. Don't overload your hair with junk, and make sure to start with a clean slate once a week.

4. You spend more time with your hairdryer than your friends.

Try towel drying instead.

5. You use hairspray because your hair looks dead, and your hair looks dead because you use hairspray.

You know it's wrong, but you just can't stay away. Luckily, a good deep recovery product will help soften your hair. Try not to shampoo every day, and make sure to use a deep conditioner once a week.

7. It's wider than it is long.

So. Puffy. Always. Try an anti-frizz serum to smooth it down and remember: frizz = damage. Get a smooth start with this look.

Pools, lakes, and rivers all contain things that your hair totally hates. Make sure you're removing all chemicals from your hair when you wash, especially in the summer!

9. You've considered just stopping taking care of it altogether.
