Signs/Clues That Someone Is A LHCF Member...

[A_Christian]

If I saw anything with the word Amla on it or anything Indian in a black person's home I would highly suspect that there was a lhcf member in the house,lol

Dominican products

A Pibbs dryer

A comb made out of anything other than rubber or plastic

 

[Mrs.Green]

Every time you see a strand of hair in the sink or on back of your shirt, you immediately inspect it to see if it has a bulb on the end of it......

If it does, you breathe a sigh of relief!......

But if not, (breakage) you immediately try to figure out if it's more protein or moisture that you need,

this is so me~ I inspect EVERY SINGLE hair that comes out of my head.

 

[glam-]

Love this!
So many of these apply to me. You all have completely corrupted me.

...when there's more coconut oil in the bathroom than in the kitchen
...when their computer has more pictures of the back of their hair than their face/front
...when they "freak out" because the back of their head accidently touches a cloth seat
...when they can put their hair into an emergency updo (because it's too windy outside, etc.) in about 5 seconds
...when they would prefer to walk in a light rain/drizzle, without the umbrella, to get a moisturizing treatment

Yeah, I'm guilty of all of these! Great thread!

haha...mine's EVOO. One day my mum was asking if we had any, and I was told her in the bathroom I have a my own stash...she looked at me like I was nuts, and I just pointed to my head, and she shook her head, but got the point.

This thread is too funny.

 

[tapioca_pudding]

-Has an expensive, ionic blowdryer and/or an expensive, ceramic/tourmaline flat iron, but only uses them 4 times a year on "Low".

-Sews silk/satin linings in all of her hats.

-Can go tit for tat with you about 'bad alcohol' verses 'good alcohol'.

-You only see her true length every 10-16+ weeks.

-Can prescribe anyone a quick regimen right on the spot, complete with product names, "Where to Buy" and usage tips.

-Keeps an ingredient list in her glove box just in case she runs across a new product she hasn't researched yet.

-Knows where at least one Aveda salon is in her city/town.

-Has more 'white people' products than 'black people' products.

 

[shunta]

This thread is oh so funny and sooo true!

 

[Garner]

DITTO!!! I agree. LOVE THIS THREAD!!! Hey, a girl has to do what a girl has to do!!!

 

[CokoQt]

-Keeps travel size moisturizer, oil, a satin scrunchie and a hair safe clip in her purse
-Hair is always in a wet bun
-Sets an alarm on her cell to remind her to take her vitamins
-If she cancels a date to say she has to wash her hair--and means it
-Refuses to go to salons
-Gives the stinky face whenever someone mentions Pink Lotion
-When she goes to the store and fills her basket with conditioners and heat protectant

ITA, especially the bolded. I got an impromptu date offer that I declined because I was airdrying my hair at the time, and the guy was like how long could it take to do your hair? Just blow dry it. I was like you must be insane.

 

[MissLawyerLady]

She stops at equestrian stores, pet stores, and veterinarian offices to look at horse grooming products.

When asked what type of horse she has or how old her horse is, she replies "I don't have a horse"....and keeps shopping!

 

[me-T]

-when she's gittin on the stylist's nerves: "what are you doing?" "please dont..." "will you...?"

-if she never goes to a salon with those neon scissors in the window

-if she says her hair is a certain benchmark (apl, bsl, etc) instead of "down to here"

 

[YankeeCandle]

for cuteness

 

[jazzyto]

she wears braid outs/twist outs and buns all the time.
they have coconut oil in the bathroom instead of the kitchen
a shower full of cowash conditioners
they use the lingo dust, stretch, sulfates, moisturizing, etc.

 

[Solitude]

-has a hair steamer in her home
-owns 4 or 5 different types of moisturizer
-is anxiously awaiting the next Black Friday sales...on hair products sites
-has ordered something from folica.com
-knows what a "Sedu" and a "Maxiglide" is
-knows about many more natural products besides Carol's Daughter - in fact, she probably doesn't like or use CD
-has a fotki

 

[lovenharmony]

The person wears PS 24/7
They own a hard hair bonnet dryer
They know what "stretching" is
They determine a person's hair texture by using Andre's hair typing system
They know what the phrase "Are you Nikko's cousin?" means.
They know what someone's "Fotki" is
They know all of the acronyms for hair talk (EL, NG, NL, SL, APL, BSL, BSB, MBL, WL, CON, EVOO, Pre Poo, Baggy, BKT, MT, DC, MN, MTG, BT, PS, PJ & more!)

 

[lovenharmony]

Oh, forgot to mention that they have countess pictures of only their hair in their digital camera!

 

[LadyPaniolo]

-She has a satin sleep bonnet on the headreast of her car, a silk scarf in the backseat and a shopping bag ready to pop full of conditioner.

-The mean BSS owner who usually growls at everyone looks at her like when she comes in.

-She hits up the grocery store and internet sites for exotic products and keeps a file of what products can be found where... and for how much.

-When her family sees her walking around with a plastic grocery bag tied on her head and they don't think anything of it.

-When her toddler knows the difference between henna and indigo (guilty!)

-When she walks around in a $15 plastic wig except for a few days of the year.

-When she looks at most hair toys with a combination of suspicion, fear and disgust (because they are damaging).

-When she can give you a complete dissertation on Victorian hair care practices.

-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!!! )

-When she tells her family members they need porosity control, and hands them the bottle she has on hand.

-When her haircare product storage requires the building of TWO wall units... of six shelves each and her DH agrees that it's absolutely necessary.

[Tyra]

-Numerous tubes of Micozonale Nitrate.
-Obscene amounts of conditioner but no shampoo in sight.

Ladies, what clues/signs have you seen or KNOW if you see them that they are a member?

Co-sign and co-sign.

 

[asummertyme]

If I see ANY Of these items in someone's home then my mind gets to thinking that you are a LHCF member:

-Pibbs dryer
-Denman/Mason Pearson brush
-Anything Indian related(shampoo bars, henna, oils) knowing FULLY well you aint Indian ....Then yes you are a member!
-MTG
-Aveda..Never seen a black person w/ Aveda products under their sink..only a LHCF member.
-Numerous tubes of Micozonale Nitrate.
-Obscene amounts of conditioner but no shampoo in sight.

Ladies, what clues/signs have you seen or KNOW if you see them that they are a member?

...funny......

 

[ceebee3]

This thread is hilarious! I'm so embarassed when I'm searching for a pic on my laptop and someone see's all the pics of the back of my head.

 

[lux10023]

for me i know when someone is a lil more privy/deep into this haircare thing when they know hair-typing

as in 4A...3C etc etc

 

[Tee]

For me it's always terminology. (Co-washing, pre-pooing, texlaxing, etc.)

 

[Mdmommy99]

There's a girl in my running club that has wl hair that she keeps braided in two long braids and up under a satin bonnet every time we run in the cold. Every time she does it I give her the "I know where you've been hanging out" look. Definitely a member.

 

[Missigirl]

All of the above apply to me. I have one........... have a Sally's Card right behind her credit card and don't own a salon.

 

[Zeal]

*Has hair care products in multiple places in her home, and maybe at work, in the car, and at others' homes too
*Has stand-up versions of salon appliances
*Keeps asking you about somebody named Nikos
*Can talk hair for unlimited amounts of time
*Has many different kinds of oils--outside of the kitchen
*You see her hair loose only once in a while
*Has beautiful hair but never seems to go a salon

So true


- When you tell someone about co- washing and they look at you like you have 2 heads
- When you only cut your hair according to the moon! Speaking of which - What are the dates for cutting this month. (East Coast) It's Equinox time.
- When the people in the Indian store wonder how you know what you know and/or you know more about it then they do.
- When you have over 5 spray bottles under your sink, on the counter, or around the house with all different types of concoctions in them.
- When you force yourself to take a fast from the page.
- When someone says no-cones
- As someone else stated when you have several pictures of all sides of your head saved on your computer.

This thread is tooooo funny.

 

[mEmYSELFaNDj]
