-When her SO/DH just hands over the credit card for important holidays/anniversaries. Better than having that poor man trying to get the right thing and ending up having to return it (I said mahabringaj, this is brahmi!!! )...

Every time I'm on the train or bus and I see a sista with long healthy hair I always wonder if she's a niko cousin, but of course not everyone who has long healthy hair is a member. But these other things too get me wondering:

-She has different types of oils around her kitchen and bathroom and when asked "What do you cook that oil with?" She says, "I put it in my hair"
-She doesn't care if her hair gets wet anymore when she go outside.
-She wears mostly buns and only wears her hair out when it's a special occasion.
-She would rather spend her money on hair products, and not shoes, or clothing as much.
-She plans her social calendar around wash day.
-She owns a steamer, or pibbs, or a heating cab and it's never out of reach.
-She owns more conditioners than shampoos, and has products the average sista may not even heard of.
-She takes her scarf when spending the night at someone's house, and if she forgets it she has a panic attack.
