Do you get nervous too???

[luvmesumhair]

Is it just me or do you notice yourself getting nervous when you wear your hair down? You know what I mean, your ends being ruined! I think I have been brain washed from this board (its all good) to take special care of my ends. Baby those ends...baby those ends!!!! So when I do wear my hair down (even after my HYH Challenge which ends in December). I could see myself wearing my hair down and not feeling comfortable at all and putting it up in a clip before the day is out!

Will I ever feel comfortable wearing my hair down after I reach my goal? So far it is not looking good at this point .

I know what you mean. I had my hair down today, and I kept looking at my ends, then I kept picturing my ends slowly frizz and spliterplexed So I just combed it up into a bun.

i only have my hair down like once a month, but when i do i'm not even comfortable. its like im aware of every strand that is individually brushing my clothes lol. so annoying i usually end up outtin it up after about an hour or so

I used to be more like that. Now, I rarely wear my hair down and I take excellent care of my ends so when I do wear it down I'm not as nervous as I once was about it.

I mean if I am just walking around doing normal things what could possibly happen to my hair if it's just lying against the back of my shirt? I just make sure to be careful. If I do start feeling nervous, there's always a clip nearby.

Ha ha, I thought that I was the only who gets nervous! The last time I had my hair flat ironed, I was soooo worried that my hair was going to break off! I kept thinking to myself how badly I wanted to deep condition it and throw it up in a bun/ponytail. Good, now I know I'm not the only who thinks this way!

It's weird because I'm not nervous about wearing it down when it's in a wng. I'm nervous when it's straight tho.

I'm the same way...although even when I have an airdried style sometimes it still ends up in a clip I think I'm just SUPER conscious of my ends now that I've started taking good care of them...b/c I remember how they were before and I don't wanna go back!

Me too

I just knew once i made it to CBL i was going to be wearing me alittle wrap/doobie and have that hair sitting cute on my shoulders....but i was sadly mistakin

Not only does it make my not even want to turn my head so the hair wont move around on my shirt, people want to touch your hair more when your wear it down because its always up, and i never noticed how much people put their arms around your shoulders ( right on your hair) untill i wear it down.

The few times i wear my hair down, i vow to myself the next time i will have some kind of silk-like shirt on so my ends will be safe (even though i dont even own a shirt like that), or it will be a back/shoulders out shirt so my ends will just rub on my skin

I get very nervous too to the point of paranoia.It got even worse when I passed APL. When I have it down, I literally feel it against my clothes, imagine the friction and then see the ends breaking and falling off in my head! It is so weird. At the end of half hour, I end up putting it in a ruffle or braiding it. And that's when I'm in the house! Let's not even talk about wearing it out during the day , rubbing against clothes, exposed to sun, heat, smoke, pollution and AC. Forget it...I'm a complete mess...

It is sad that some of us cannot even enjoy our hair we are working so hard on.

It is

If my hair doesnt go back up in 30 min, im pulling my shirt around to the front alittle bit on both sides to see if any hairs got snagged off And then once again when i take it off, a thorough investigation

I do, so nervous to the point, my hair has been in an updo since last year. I have never had hair this long and I want it to continue to get longer so I am protecting it, sometimes excessively. It is crazy Hopefully, when the temps drop and the humidity, I will let all my hair hang out.

 

[northernbelle]

What do you mean?

Perhaps it was a failed attempt at humor on my part.

I just don't think so hard when it comes to styling my hair. Yes, one should take good care of her hair, but not to the point that we don't enjoy it. I say, relax.
