NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Same thing happened to my roomate except she had a natural puff. Boy, was she screaming. She combed the bug off on my bar soap, though!

Don't feel bad. I completely understand. In high school, me and my then boyfriend had a romantic night in his backyard. Bbq at dusk, swimming in his family pool at night and having drinks and desert by the bug zapper. I had a cute curly updo. I went home, showered and washed my hair to get the chlorine out. I stood up and looked in the sink and there was a HUGE dead beetle that fell from my hair. It must have been zapped and fell in my hair.

If I wasn't so vain back then I would have pulled every strand out in disgust. I'm shuddering just thinking about it.

I AM DONE with extension hair, you hear me! done!This afternoon, what I thought was a kamikaze bee, flew into my forehead and zoomed off to the left of me. At first I thought I was stung, but I didn't feel a bump, so I figured the bee was just getting buffeted by the wind or something. Hours later, I come home, and I'm redoing some of my kinky twists in the back and what I thought at first was a large tangle, was a HUGE FREAKING BEETLE THING WITH WINGS THAT WAS HUGE I don't know if it was dormant or whatever, but it started struggling in the kinky twists and i'm screaming and hollering and finally i throw it on the floor and throw every book in the house at it while its buzzing on the floor trying to fly away:gunner7:I can't believe it was there that long and nobody noticed? nobody said HAY YOU HAVE A GIANT. FREAKING BUG IN YOUR HAIR YOU MIGHT WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I have to take these braids out now and never look at them again for months

(in case you can't tell i'm terrified of large insects erplexed)


and to add insult to injury while I'm complaining to a friend about it she goes:
ME: I have to take them out now, they're freaking me out everytime one of them brushes my neck now
HER: NO NO NO DON'T YOU DARE
a bit more vehemently than I was expecting. I'm not sure whether to take that as a "hay great I did a good job on these kinky twists" or "damn do I usually look that busted with my normal hair?"

My dear hair sister,
This happened to me two weeks ago. A bumble bee landed on my head....

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....stop.

DH did not even see it.... I walked to the car, I looked at my reflection and Saw Mr. Bee



I lost it..... I ran in the parking lot..... and I could have been hit by a car..... Finally Mr. BB flew away..... and my heart barely started!!!

My DH??????

He was no help.... he was doubled over in laughter.

I was crying my eyes out. I hate big bugs too.....

So....... I am with you sis.........

Girl, something similar happened to me last year. I was at the Sonic drive in and my sister said "there's a cricket in your hair". I had on a wig so I pulled it off and started shaking it, in plain sight of everyone. That was both humiliating and traumatizing so I feel your pain, lol.

Not funny then - but - hilarious now!!!!

 

[Lucky's Mom]

Good for you for getting the beetle bug out of your hair! If that had been me, I would have been screaming my head off, and running around in circles trying to "de-bug" myself! What an awful experience-hope it never happens to you again! I did enjoy your story though. Glad you survived!

This was me. Embarrassing.....

I shouldn't laugh but that's a funny story. I'm glad you didn't get hit when you ran into the parking lot.I can imagine...:hero::burning:

 

[Digital Tempest]

LOL.

Don't mean to laugh, but it's just the way you told the story. I would've done the same thing and more. I probably would've went into cardiac even after the bug was out of my hair. I'm getting the heebie-jeebies just thinking about it.

 

[NYAmicas]

You're too funny OP! Sorry you had to go through that though.

 

[tash85]

Ive found all sorts of insects and animals in my hair.
I was out shopping one time and clould not understand why my scalp was iching uncontrollably. turns out an insect was on my scalp, must have been there for at least two hours!

I was disgusted.

 

[bravenewgirl87]

Don't feel bad. You're not the only one this has happened to from the board. One lady I think found a roach or something in her hair and didn't even know. SHE HAD THAT MUCH HAIR ON HER HEAD!

 

[beans4reezy]

I'm sorry this happened to you, I would have freaked out as well. But, I think you'll laugh at this once you get over the initial shock.

 

[fyb87]

OMG....I was reading this in horror. I am terrified of ALL insects. I definitely feel your pain. I would have been ripping my hair out of my head. There is no way I would have been able to touch it. Honestly, it's creeping me out right now. I'm so sorry that this happened to you.

 

[skegeesmb]

I would have been scared poopless!

 

[schipperchow1]

OMG, This thread is so funny But I would be freaked out if some beetle had been chillin' in my hair and no body bothered to tell me Just the though of it makes me sick. I'd be crossing my fingers:crossfingers: hoping that it had no friends with it...But would be afraid to touch my hair I'd be constantly in the mirror looking before I could even touch it!!:eye: Anyway, sorry it happened to you.

Here is a crazy but true story. There was a woman who left her extensions (braids) in too long. Some how a bug of some sort nested in her hair and produced hundreds of babies. The babies some how ate into her scalp remained under her scalp for a long time. She shaved her head but had to have the bugs picked out of her scalp. If I find the story I will post. This happened years ago.

I am glad that you are okay. It doesnt sound like the bug had been there for long. But this is always a concern during the summer months.
