Is your hair obsession still as strong

[Vshanell]

I think it has gotten worse. I've always been hair obsessed since I was a little girl. I was always trying to do someone's hair. And coming here and learning all the "secrets" and seeing lots of women on here with beautiful hair has made it worse.

Same here.

its not an obssession....anymore
i just want to see what its gonna do

when i first came here it was that serious. My hair was breaking off like crazy from being overprocessed. I had short hairs everywhere. I was obsessed, searched the boards and foktis and quickly found what worked for me. Def haven't been on hair board much since.
I went way beyond my first goal which was just to get hair back healthy again and retain my current length at the time.. which was barely apl.

My hair care obsession has waned tremendously over the past few months. I am definitely in need of stepping up my regimen again, particularly baggying at night.

I think it had gotten worse the more I see the benefits..... I am just visulising my hair at Brastrap at the moment. I will not even let anyone touch my hair.

No, my hair care/hair care product obsession has died down, CONSIDERABLY. I've found my regimen niche, and staple products. My hair and my wallet are glad that the hair care product frenzy-affair has run it's course.

Well it depends. the first couple of months I was very excited to start my journey to healthy hair, but then I calmed down a bit as of late. Every now and then if I stumble across a problem that I can't seem to solve, I'll check out the hair boards like a crackhead!! Once it's over though, I go back into hiatus.

In answer to your question OP, NO...I'm not as "hair obsessed" as I used to be a few years back, and I believe that my hair has definitely suffered because of it.

I can tell just by looking at my hair albums that the progress I made within a year about a year or two compared to the progress I've made in a year this year is completely different. My hair isn't as thick nor as long as it was when I was really "obsessing" about my hair. You know, making sure I was washing, or co-washing twice a week, taking my vitamins religiously, spending a LOT of time on these boards for advice, having my stylist put a MILD relaxer in my hair (instead of regular), taking extra care of my hair, etc. Now days I'm just like: "Forget it!"

I don't think I should go back to being OBSESSED or a Product Junkie again, but I think I should definitely get back on the ball with my hair and really focus on making it as healthy as it could be. I've slacked off tremendously, and my hair has seen the effects.

I would say no. I started being more concerned about growing my hair longer and the health of my hair about 8 months ago, and still not a day goes by that I don't talk about my hair and about my hair goals. Hair is a subject I really enjoy and I enjoy seeing how much it grows and how much better it looks as I take care of it. I get a little paranoid at times, too. I'm constantly looking at my combs to see if the hair that's coming out is sheddage or breakage, and if it's breakage I get this "I've just been shot" expression on my face. I know, quite pathetic .

In all honesty i would have to say yes. After being here a lil bit over a year now i still find myself lurking everyday. I still go off into fotkis and just view for hours. I have found a regime and have enough products to last well into next year. So yes i am, i'm just not to quick to express it to others outside this forum; that's all. There's still fire in those eyes lol!

as it was the day you join LHCF?


To answer my own question, NO. My obsession has died down so much. I don't think about my hair as much as I did when I first joined. I fell like Ok you know it's growing and you will make it to BSL, and maybe MBL so focus on getting everything else together to be on the same level with your BSL or MBL hair.

I want the total package. I want hair, body, life and mind to be on point. I don't want to be "that girl" I want to be "that woman". Don't want to only have long, healthy hair and dress well. I want to go to the top of my career, own 2 business, have a nice home. I want it all. Now that My hair game is on lock it's time for me to put as much focus and determination into other parts of my life. I have a lot of work ahead of me.


I already have the perfect family. My three kids and SO. Just had to add that in.

WOW, this is exactly how I feel. I am really trying to get everything else on par, but I am still slacking on my hair. My targets are also life targets also i.e APL should coincide with a state of mind and so on.

Ditto (except the part about doing someone else's hair); it is so nice to know that I am not the only one!

This is how I feel. Hair Care has become extremely important to me just as much as taking a bath/shower or as much as eating food 2-3 times a day or as much as working out. I still love conditioning my hair and moisturizing it. I luv looking at pictures of hair, reading about hair... It's such a pleasure for me. I could stay home on my day off and spend a few hours on this hobby and not feel like I've waisted one minute. Im not as obsessed as I was in the very beginning when I discovered LHCF; but Im still motivated, excited and somewhat anxious to achieve longer and healthier hair.

Mine is still pretty strong, but I feel you. I am aiming to be a renaissance woman so I have to be on point in all areas. I guess that means I should go back to studying for my finals.

Hahaha, I am so bad. I reward myself w/ hair treatments when I study well. I am TOTALLY Elle from Legally Blonde!! I think its about balance. If you enjoy playing w/ your hair then do it, but not to the point where it keeps you from everything else important in life.

With that off to the books I go!!
