I have every item listed except the Denman brush!....and I'm looking for one

 

[Duchesse]

You see her in the BSS squinting real hard at the backs of a product before she buys it..trying to decipher if the ingredients are hair friendly or not.

Then she goes to your house, and creates a pile of stuff you need to throw away because they are a

Or she casually leaves the LHCF homepage open on your laptop, hoping to God that you will look at the site, because she's too nice to tell you that your hair is jacked but needs help asap!

Has gotten over getting the screwface when in Indian markets..shoot I need me my Vatika!

 

[MissTical]

She searches the site on her cell phone... because the job has blocked the website! Hate those damned fire walls hahaha

 

[Vshanell]

The only time I ever got a sign was when I overheard someone saying that they heard this horse product was supposed to grow hair......I froze on the spot. (It was a guy too)

Yeah and when I couldn't find Pantene Breakage Defense Mask for months I knew something was going on

Thats me right there

Calendar that has cw, w, dc written in it.

Different types of heat protectant

Takes pieces of shedded hair and stretch it to see if you need more protein or moisture.

 

[justNikki]

If I see Curls, Blended Beauty, Qhemet, Oyin, etc...I know this chick is on a haircare site.

If you know someone named Niko, I do check out your hair.

If you have a deman brush, know what a cowash is or say things like protetective styles and transitioning or you call really, really, really tightly coiled hair curly (so much so that you can't see curls from a distance), you're on a hairboard.

 

[Buttercreme]

Every time you see a strand of hair in the sink or on back of your shirt, you immediately inspect it to see if it has a bulb on the end of it......

If it does, you breathe a sigh of relief!......

But if not, (breakage) you immediately try to figure out if it's more protein or moisture that you need,

 

[tricie]

-Prints Mapquest directions for BSS's and Indian grocery stores if taking an out of town trip; there are ALWAYS hair care treasures on the road,

-Has to put special labels on bottles of products because the majority of the time, it is some mix and not necessarily what came in the bottle,

-Hides when scissors are around or hears the word "trim"

Cute thread!

Ha! I did that during a meeting one time... in the middle of a conversation, I saw a shed hair on the table and stretched it! Someone said "WHAT are you DOING?" and I said, "Checking its elasticity!!" ...and continued what I was saying.

...when there's more coconut oil in the bathroom than in the kitchen
...when their computer has more pictures of the back of their hair than their face/front
...when they "freak out" because the back of their head accidently touches a cloth seat
...when they can put their hair into an emergency updo (because it's too windy outside, etc.) in about 5 seconds
...when they would prefer to walk in a light rain/drizzle, without the umbrella, to get a moisturizing treatment

Yeah, I'm guilty of all of these! Great thread!

[sunshinelady]

If she'd be willing to try Monkey Ball Sweat if it promised growth. And, if she can tell you how it works scientifically.

If a chick comes around you with her hair smelling like weed, but you know she doesn't smoke.

The infamous oil stains.
