Can anyone else absolutely not stand having hair? (lemmy.world)

I remove all of my hair as often as possible. I find I simply cannot function properly while I have hair.

This extends to anything uncomfortable, bad fabrics, etc. I do not like any smells either.

I am fine with having hair.

That said, there are certain lengths that are absolutely intolerable; for example, if my fringe is just the right length to sit on my eyebrows or get into my eyes.

I've grown my hair out several times over the years and this is the most correct answer. Currently my hair at my preferred length: long enough I can put it in a tail but not so long that my back doesn't pinch it against a chair.
