Having a bad hair day? You might want to stop reading this now, since you’re about to get some serious hair envy from, yup, a bunch of horses. Don’t believe us? Just go ahead and take a look at these gorgeous manes. Our mere human locks could never compete with these beauties.
Case in point: Who knew you could be jealous of a horse for having better bangs and highlights than you do?
This Icelandic horse brings a whole new meaning to “side ponytail.”
Would it be weird if I brought this photo into my stylist? Because this horse has that perfect honey blonde shade of my dreams.
If only my hair looked this good in the wind…
Seriously? I need to spend at least 15 minutes with a straightener for my hair to look this sleek.
This mane is giving me serious braid envy.
This stallion’s portrait looks better than 99.99 percent of my selfies.
Raise your hand if you wish you had this kind of volume.
