Ever feel guilty about breaking hair routine?

[MsKibibi]

Hi Ladies,
I had my first "Aha" moment about my hair obession. Yesterday, a friend came into town unplanned and was visiting me. Now although he's just a friend and he's seen me wrap my hair before, I was trying to be cute and not wrap it to go to bed.
I was laying there just miserable

, thinking about how the cotton pillow case is going to dry out my hair, why didnt I buy satin pillow cases

and how the hair is going to be rubbing against my sheets, and how my ends are probably going to snap when I roll over. Just going crazy.

Fortunately, he left about an hour later and I jumped out of bed to go wrap my hair. All the time thinking "I hope I didnt do too much damage"

Has the ever happened to you? Be honest now, we're all family.

Oh yes, I had an appointment to go to early one morning and I called myself waking up early so that I could curl my hair with the steam rollers. Well, I woke up a little later than I wanted but decided to go ahead and do my hair so I could be cute. Anyways, half way through I realized that I was behind schedule and instead of just pulling my hair up in a ponytail, I took out the hot curlers and finished my hair with them. I drove to the doctors office feeling horrible because I felt that my hair was going to dry up and fall out. As soon as I got home I immediately put some moisturizer on the ends, to save my hair from any damage the heat did. Now, I would only tell you all this because no one else would understand.

Oh yes - I forgot to drink my mandatory one bottle of water a day and I realized it in my dream so I woke up at midnight (a couple of nights ago) and had to guzzle it and then wait til I had to pee before going back to sleep.

LOL

oh God I guess that does count, b/c I do that a lot too

 

[Gaea]

lol, you all are crazy

I don't break my hair routine... EVER. I don't care what day it is or who is there.

Once it was wash day and my bf wanted me to spend the night at his house. I bought my shampoo, deep conditioner mixed with honey and oils, my oil mix, moisturizer, rollers, clips, plastic caps, scarves, vitamins AND my heating cap.

And I did his hair too!

And we both air dried in rollers

Maybe I'm the crazy one!

, Gaea im sorry but that was hilarious. I feel you though.

My aunt and cousin came to my house one day when I was airdrying in bantu knots and basically told me my hair looked crazy. So when they left I broke down and blowdried my hair and bumped the ends. That night I felt bad because I broke my no heat challenge and I know how bad heat has been for my hair. Glad to know i'm not the only one this happens to. But one thing I did learn is to forget about other people and do you and that's what i'm doing from now on.

Yes, MsKibibi, I confess to feeling like that when I break one of my 'hair rules.' I don't tell anybody close to me cause I know they wouldn't understand, but I sure do feel wrong to the nth degree when I do it.

Yes, last week I was really, really sick rolling around in bed. I was so sick I didn't care about anything else but getting better. I didn't have my satin pillow case cover with me so I layed on a cotton pillow case and blanket all day. I felt bad about it but luckily I only SAW one shedded hair on the pillow case. The good part is that I must be taking good care of my hair since there were no split ends. Whew.

Also, I forgot to bring my conditioner to the shower with me last I washed my hair so I just went straight to the deep conditioner.

i used to when i'd wear my hair down for weeks at a time, but slipping off the wagon every now and then isn't gonna undo ALL my hard work. so i try not to beat myself up too bad.

Only a few months ago when I had to travel. I brought everything I needed with me (and more) but broke my routine by going five days without washing my hair. I always wash every 3 days. My concern was how my braidout looked on the 4th and 5th day, especially since there was a lot of humidity in the three states I hit. I had my scrunchies just in case but my hair looked great even on the 5th day! I learned that breaking my hair routine once in a while can be a good thing.

Nope, I don't feel guilty at all. Sometimes everyday life gets too busy, and I have to end up breaking my hair routine (here and there).

 

[MsKibibi]

Its good to know I'm not the only one who feels like this sometime.

 

[Poohbear]

Yes I have broken my hair routine...
One time I was so tired, I just went to sleep with my hair all out, unprotected and when to sleep on my cotton pillowcase pillow. When I woke up, my hair was dry and messy. I didnt even moisturize my hair and just combed it down with my comb.

 

[simplycee]

I must confess that I ALMOST broke my routine. I had just taken my braids down and had a ton of new growth. I did a rollerset but the new growth was too much to be tamed by a mere roller set. I got frustrated and plugged up my flat iron, telling myself that one time won't hurt. I even set it on the lowest setting. When I sat down to flat iron my hair I felt so guilty (I haven't used a flat iron or blow dryer since Dec 03) that I just turned it off and put my hair into a ponytail. I went back to cornrows a week later.

 

[ladybug]

yes i break my routine every now and then...
whe ni sleep over my SO house i dont wear my silk scarf to bed as much as i should or hardly ever...due to the ativites we are engaging in...but its kewl....

somethings are worth breaking my routine for.....lol

 

[CutiePie0Five]

lmao....ladybug you're funny! Yea that happens to me sometimes too. Early on this year I stopped wrapping my hair, and just slept with it out on my cotton pillowcase because I didnt want my (new) boyfriend to see me with my hair wrapped. LOL, now he's used to it cuz he knows I'm trying to grow it, and I don't play around with my hair!!!

 

[Tami]

everytime I have to use the curling iron which isnt that often but I feel so bad ... like it's frying my hair and yes I use the highest setting

 

[levette]

If I wear my hair down for about 5 days straight, I feel so guilty and paranoid about my hair. My last rollerset I wore for 9 days straight- I felt so bad, but wanted to get my $30 out of it from the salon rollersetting it.

 

[DigitalRain]

I haven't washed my hair in over a week, so I feel a tad guilty, but with it being so rainy and ultra humid here, I really don't want to use waste my time doing my hair when its going to look like crap before I even step outside because of the humidity and rain.
