if you suffer from HAIR-REXIA - please check IN!

[kurlybella]

my hair is almost bsl (my hair: http://bit.ly/c59zAz), but when i look in the mirror, this is what i see!

i need to get over this dern hair rexia!

am i the only sufferer?

hello, my name is kurlybella and am a hariarexic!

 

[PJaye]

!!

I laughed so hard I almost fell out of this swivel chair; thank you for that!

 

[BostonMaria]

OH MY GOD THAT'S SO FUNNY!!!!!

I am just about WSL at this point (give or take a half inch) and I swear I'm bald

 

[lovenharmony]

I'm supposedly APL, but I feel like chin length all over! I know when I get to WL, I'll probably feel like SL! I got hairexia real bad!!

 

[Guitarhero]

Me too. And I'm stuck at my length right now. That awful dreaded waiting time when hairs build up whatever it is and decide to manifest length in a huge spurt - just not right now.

 

[Firstborn2]

I'm a lil past APL and I feel like I'm shoulder length, which is strange because when I was shoulder length I thought if I ever got to APL I would be over the moon. Well I'm not .

 

[C@ssandr@]

I'm just above APL but I feel neck length as well. I try to shift my focus to health but then I start feeling that my hair is raggedy too

 

[MsBoinglicious]

LMAO!!! Omg do we need to do a PSA on this hair disease or something? Lol

But I cannot lie I think I could be ankle length and still feel like its ear length.

Seeing so many long lush heads of hair can give you a "hair complex" on here!

 

[ChocoKitty]

I'm there... I'm tired of paying so much attention to it. So I'm going to wear it blow dryer stretched and in curly braidout ponytails for a while... I may not straighten it until June for a length check and possible trim.

I feel that way soooo bad right now that I either 1. Put kinky twists in or 2. Get a weave for two or three months so I don't have to look at my hair. When I look in the mirror, I see short hair & I'll probably will always see short hair but I'm scared of having hair too long. Weirderplexed

 

[beans08]

Goodness yes! Most of the time I feel good about my hair, but sometimes I get a little discouraged, and I feel like it'll never be really long.

Here's where I am now:

 

[PPGbubbles]

Yea mannn im "APL" but I dont feel much diff from when I was neck length.... I blame alllll the women with "Fairlytale mythical length hair" on LHCF that make me feel like my puny strands aint diddly squat!



*sigh* I totally feel U OP!!!!!!

 

[PPGbubbles]

Goodness yes! Most of the time I feel good about my hair, but sometimes I get a little discouraged, and I feel like it'll never be really long.

Here's where I am now:

Gasp! my hair dont do dat!!! lovely locks

 

[Desarae]

I feel like my hair never grows...I still feel earlength and I'm CBL

 

[mariofmagdal]

Cute thread OP.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I definitely suffer from hair-rexia, especially walking around campus seeing all these wsl white girls. I'm bsl but I feel soooo bald! Whenever someone says "your hair is so long" I just feel like...yeah whateva its ok. I won't be happy until I'm wsl too :-\

 

[kurlybella]

Goodness yes! Most of the time I feel good about my hair, but sometimes I get a little discouraged, and I feel like it'll never be really long.

Here's where I am now:

dang, is that shrinkage at the top??!!! your hair is so pretty and long. i wish my hair was long!!!!

 

[Bene]

I'm in the same boat. I look at my hair, and it looks only shoulder length to me

 

[beans08]

dang, is that shrinkage at the top??!!! your hair is so pretty and long. i wish my hair was long!!!!

No, the rest of my hair is pulled back. It shrinks up by about half its length, maybe a bit less.

 

[Curlybeauty]

I'm there... I'm tired of paying so much attention to it. So I'm going to wear it blow dryer stretched and in curly braidout ponytails for a while... I may not straighten it until June for a length check and possible trim.

Same here. I'm thinking flat twist sets and braidouts for a while just to take my mind off of it. Hell even a curly ponytail for the summer.

 

[Kellum]

I think there needs to be like a 12 step program or something. This hair thing is totally playing with folks heads. I know my hair is a good length, but it just feel short to me. I am BSB length and only feel like my hair is SL. I know one of my problems is these layers. Hopefully when my hair is more blunt and around WL, it won't be an issue.

 

[AnitaTheLengths]

I have it too! I'm bunning until I can't bun no more and every morning when I look in the mirror I feel like baldilocks

 

[CherryCherryBoomBoom]

I feel shoulder length and I am, um, still shoulder length . Though, I'm wouldn't mind feeling shoulder length if my actual length was BSL, lol.

 

[Aviah]

Me! My hair's the longest in my adult life at layered CBL-almost BSB.
Still its playing games with me...

 

[kami02]

No matter how long my hair gets, I always feel shoulder length. A year after college, my hair must have been APL and I didn't even know it until someone said, wow you're hair is getting so long! I thought I was shoulder length, lol, and then looked in a mirror and thought, when did this happen??

ETA: This is way b4 my hhj so I wasn't paying any attention to my length.

 

[LoveLiLi]

I'm in the same boat. I look at my hair, and it looks only shoulder length to me

Are you being facetious? Because ummm...errah...












*** it! This is funny!

 

[chrisanddonniesmommy]

I'm nearing bsb; but I feel much shorter. I didn't want to name my problem, Ladies!

 

[SmilingElephant]

My sister gets super annoyed when i tell her to poke me in the back where my hair stops.....LOL!!! And i'm always chasing her saying..."TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK!!! WHERE AM I!!!?" and she says....YOU'RE WAISTLENGTH!!! And then i go...REALLY???!!! YOU REALLY THINK I AM?? I don't think you're being accurate...(while walking to the bathroom mirror)....cause i don't feel like i am....show me again...in fact where's the camera??...

And this is her:

 

[Barbie83]

Argh! I'm APL and it just looks "shoulder-y" to me

 

[brittanynic16]

I'm almost BSB and it seems "normal" to me. It doesn't feel long at all. On the brightside, I do feel like when I am full BSL it will start to feel long.
