The Dangers of Long Hair
I've always wanted long hair but life, but parents and stress prevented me from ever achieving it until now. I'm discovering left, and right horrible dangers of having long hair that could end up killing a person, or coming very close to it, or just plain causing a lot of pain.
Some of this information may be common sense, but if you have never had long hair, you don't have the common sense long hair people may already have. After all, you learn by experience, and I certainly don't mean to insult anyone by saying it the way I've said it. I'm simply trying to explain the purpose of this article.
Cooking. When cooking you have to be careful your long hair doesn't go into the food as well as the flame. Yes, this one is common sense to just about everyone, but I can't stress enough to watch that flame! A head full of hair filled with chemicals like hairspray, mouse, etc can light up like a candle.
Washing, and drying clothes as well as dishwashers. You wouldn't think this would be an issue, however when you close the doors on the dishwasher, washer, and the dryer you have to be careful to not close your long hair in when you shut the lid.
Fans. This is a very important one, as this danger could cause some serious injury and even death. If your fan is on the floor and you have to bend over to shut it off, you need to make sure your long hair doesn't go into the fan while doing so. If the fan is in front of you and it's blowing out instead of in, you have to be extremely careful to now allow your hair to flow into the fan.
Working on the inside of a car. Once again you need to make sure your long hair is tied back not just because it can go in your face, but because if your hair dangles down it could get caught in the engine fan, causing serious injury or even death should the engine be on.
Drains. House drains, pool drains, any type of drain you need to be extremely careful. I remember ages ago when on "Rescue 911" they had a woman whose long hair was caught in the pool drain and she nearly died. Pool drains have a sucking power; they are something you don't want to mess with. House drains, you can get your hair caught on, like if you are washing your long hair in the kitchen sink, it could be caught in the grate and you will have to cut your hair to get unstuck.
Seat Belts. I've noticed many times when taking off the seat belt that often times it will take your long hair back with it. Therefore, you have to be careful when you are putting on your seat belt to make sure your long hair doesn't get in line with it, so when you take the seat belt off it's not going to take your long hair back with it.
Hangers in stores. I have noticed this first hand, and I seriously never thought it would be an issue, but it is. If you are shopping and back up and don't realize it, like to allow a person to pass, and you have backed up to a shelf full of clothes, chances are, it caught your long hair. This is a real pain because this means any shop you go into that has hangers you have to be careful of getting too close to those clothing hangers.
Car doors. I can't tell you how many times I have closed the car doors on my long hair. If it's windy, the chance of my long hair being shut in the door is 100%, even if its pony tailed. Yes, it's an easy fix by opening up the car door, but if you don't or didn't notice and go to turn your head you are going to be in a lot of pain. In addition, this could cause you to wreck!
Purses, luggage, any types of shoulder bags. Once again I've had my hair ripped out of my head simply because the handle in on the long hair and I either don't know or can't be bothered to reach around and yank it away. When traveling it's very hard to watch your luggage, and everything else, let alone your hair! Plus who wants to have to have their hair pony tailed every time they go anywhere simply because the hair is going to be yanked out. What would be the point of having long hair if you can't wear it as you want?
Candles. Careful of your long hair falling into lit candles, or even during the process of lighting candles. I was recently at a candle light vile and had to be extremely careful of which direction the wind was blowing my hair as well as how close I held it to another person who had long hair. Nothing smells worse than burning hair.
I am sure there are more, but I too am learning.
