I a Dusting Addict!!!

[mscocopuff]

Ok, so my shears have been revoked!

My SO calls my dusting sessions "surgery."

I currently have color that I am attempting to rid my locks of and his hating is really perturbing!
It gets to the point where I have to sneak to trim my splits. Sometimes I just feel like he doesn't fully understand what I am trying to do. LOL. And when I explain my case, he just twists that mouth up at me like yeah right.

:mob::mob::mob::mob::mob::mob::mob:

I will sit on the sofa with my handy shears, hand mirrors, and towel and go to work for hours. I never realize that this time has flown by until he is wrestling me down to snatch my shears from my hands. Maybe I can become obsessed with my hair.


This just reminded me that I can't possibly be alone in my addiction. I wanted to see what other vices that you ladies might have since you have gone on your Healthy Hair Journey. :covereyes

What is your Kryptonite?

 

[Aireen]

Conditioner is my kryptonite.

I just can't stop buying. I have a problem.

I can concur on that one!! I definitely have a problem and baby is definitely trying to skim me down in that dept too.

I have a clothing addiction too. I don't know I just can't stop. I plan out what I'm going to condition with and when and what I'm going to buy in the future. With clothes I have like 5 websites with a LONG wishlist of items I want to buy... SIGH. I don't even think I want to give up my addictions anyway.

I'm a dusting/trim addict too, only I "dusted" off all of my growth last year . I'm seriously not touching the scissors again until maybe the end of this summer.

This is literally how I feel when I walk up and down the conditioner aisle! Conditioner is my second addiction, lol. I just bought a bottle of Organix Acai Berry last night after class, just because

 

[BostonMaria]

LMAO I can't find my scissors and its driving me mad. I'll sit there for hours and dust my ends section by section like a mad woman

What's my kriptonite? I leave my hair curly and it shrinks so badly I can't dust like I'd want to.

I. WILL. OBEY.

 

[Meritamen]

I had to put down the scissors because I was becoming addicted to trimming and was basically doings trims for no good reason. Kept thinking my ends were dry when they weren't. I decided to not trim anymore for a year, if not until this summer, to give my hair time to actually grow.
I love condition too but I refuse to give that up because my hair loves it even more. I practically collect them.

 

[MsBoinglicious]

Get you a splitender. I had one back in the early 2000's when they first came out and loved it (handle broke on it). Thats what I plan on doing, getting another one.

My Search and Destroy sessions last 2 to 3 days sometimes (and thats when I do it on straight hair). I go slow and the longer my hair gets the more time I have to spend doing it. It's becoming to much, but it has helped me retain length. So a Splitender I will get.

I know!! I need that hypnosis!! LOL. I have to start using the them more, to prevent those little splits! It's terrible!!

 

[mscocopuff]

OMG!! I feel the same way! He has hidden them somewhere and is blocking on me. LOL. Such a hater. That is ok, because I have another pair stashed around the house that he forgot about.

Thining of that, I forgot myself, but mark my words! i will find them! LOL

I need to make this sort of commitment. I mean really, it seems like I am really hindering my hair due to my over dusting. I mean, you have to get rid of the damaged ends but I think that choctaw hit that on the head. Condition condition! That is my new mission.

 

[OrangeMoon]

Don't worry I feel the same way. Often I catch myself going into the bathroom when I'm board, breaking about my shears and doing a S&D. I put my hair in braids to keep myself from doing it...wrong I look at my hair while it's in braids and do S&D on those ends too if I can.

 

[LunadeMiel]

I am the same way. I dust daily. It's a miracle I still have hair

I was thinking about getting one of these, but I was a little skeptical. I saw info about it in the threads. Good recommendation.

I use to be a dusting/trimming addict too until I realized that

A) my hair was never that damaged to begin with
B) I was trimming away all my progress

I could have been booty length by now if it wasn't for all my obsessive trimming, big chops, dustings etc.....

I am really going to keep this in mind so that I can progress and move forward. It really scares me that if I don't stop, I will be stuck @ shoulder length. I am trying to press forward!

[lushlady]

I have almost gotten caught at work snipping split ends. I really needed those titanum blade scissors to do my job better.

 

[Aireen]

I just bought a packet of conditioner from Sally's. Told y'all it's my kryptonite.

 

[Evolving78]

i am just a product junkie period! i love conditioner and moisturizers! i buy something for my hair twice a week. last year, it was makeup. i need to buy some more makeup to replace things in my kit. oh and now i am into smelling like baked goods, so i am shopping online for that as i type this!

[Qurlyqt]

Because I'm in scissor recovery and it's not good for me to be around other addicts... I'm w-e-a-k!

 

[Coffee]

I am a every hair product junkie. I slowed down for a while and then BANG....it was back again. I can go the entire year without buying anything, cause I have sooooooooooo many products. I have an entire room for all of my hair products .

[Iluvsmuhgrass]

Lately I've been really good.... But my ultimate weaknesses are *deep breath* conditioners and *cough* hair candy *cough*. I have all kinds of ouchless bands, hair clips, puff elastics....

My sister actually gave me the dreaded stank face

because I refused to buy these bands with the metal part on it.

Just because they were cheap didn't mean that they were good!!! (Yeah her stank face is crucial)

I have all different colors of alligator clips ( THESE), butterfly barrettes & hair pins, flowers, swarovski crystals, and it keeps going.
