At what point does "hairlove" become insanity? LOL

[SerenavanderWoodsen]

Okay, lately ive been noticing that my life revolves atround growing out my hair and also keeping it beautiful, I am going outside somewhat less and thats weirdness number one. It gets worse, I feel major guilt if i get a little
"crazy and irresponsible" and allow my hair to get a little roughed up or sweaty LOL and how about this one, I feel "guilt" after intimacy and forget about my hair and i get mad at myself. At what point is this reaching the point of insanity??? anyone else have these feelings LOL please be honest!! Im in too deep LOL and this is getting worse the longer and healthier my hair is getting

Sounds like you're already there!

I read a lot of things on the board that I personally think are insane. Some of the challenges, for instance.

I think it's insane to fret about five shed hairs, but hey!

I admit to some temporary insanity when I first started this journey. Not wanting to sweat, checking to see if it changed in the mirror every day, and getting downright silly over products with mineral oil. Now I just wash it, bun it, rollerset sometimes and really just forget about it. The funny thing is, it seems to be growing a lot faster when I'm not looking at it.

I came to the conclusion that I AM completely insane. If i'm not physically doing something to my hair, I'm thinking of what I'm going to do to it/for it. On the other hand I'm not hurting anyone and I could have a much worse addiction right?? erplexed (I just sounded like a real addict didn't I?)

LMAO!
Me, I think I'm a little lucky because about 90% of the time my hair is in braids, so I never really care what's going on with my hair. (bad, bad... i know!)

I do remember one instance when my hair was out and I was at the shop getting it pressed. My hair started smoking and I started crying in the shop! My mom was soo mad at me for crying cause she KNEW it was about my hair. Hahahaa! The owner said to the lady doing my hair "Why don't you let me take over, I can get it done quickly and we can get her out of here quickly...." They didn't know what was wrong with me.

I apologized and said something about my period.

I'm not even gonna try to lie. I'm crazy! :crazy:

When I'm sleeping I'm dreaming or thinking about the beautiful heads of hair on this board. I can be sitting and watching TV with friends or family and out of the blue, I'll just jump up and say...I'm going to wash my hair...Everything I do to my hair. I am very concerned...Like tonight for example...I baggy everyday...alllllday...I wear my hair pulled back in a ponytail and baggied with a bun cover over the baggie EVERYDAY...so my ends are always wet or moist...sooo anyway....I have an interview Wednesday and I want to wear my hair in caruso's...so I need to let my hair dry tonight so it will be dry by Wednesday (thick hair) but I am so use to my baggie and scared to let my ends stay out...so I'm like what to do to protect my ends while my hair is drying....so I just pulled my hair back into a high ponytail and twisted the ponytail and tucked the ends in my scrunchie... I mean I'm fussing and making a big deal when I could have just done that in the first place...boy I can't wait til Wednesday so I can wash and put my baggie back on...

I need to start showing my hair some more love. I use my brush... and I havent been treating it as well as I can. I dont take the time to detangle. The best thing that I do is bun.

The bold part is me right now I have my braids in and that's it. I'm not even going to think about my hair until Jan.

Um, I feel that same guilt about intimacy when I don't care for my hair too...lol...I think it's okay sometimes though. It wouldn't be any fun if it wasn't spontaneous. Imagine being in the moment and saying, "Wait! I gotta moisturize, seal, and baggie first!"

i feel you. These days, even when being intimate i have my hair baggied and tied!!

 

[Ebonygurl00]

Hmmm....When I first started my hair care journey a few months ago, I was SOOO obsessed! It didn't help that it was summer, and I didn't have school or a job. The only thing that I thought about was hair, hair, hair. You should see how much I spent on hair products. Now, all I do is CW or shampoo and condition everyday, and let it airdry. My hair is growing the best it has ever grown. Right now, I'm all about enjoying my hair, especially since I'm transitioning. I've become aquainted with hair shears, and I'm not afraid to use them anymore!

Sometimes when I know that my SO and me are going to hang out in the evening and not go out and I'm 4+ weeks post relaxer, I go over there (or he comes to see me) and I'm already baggied and tied just in case!
