STOP OBSESSING OVER YOUR HAIR!!!

[locabouthair]

Has anyone noticed that they get good growth when they aren't obsessing about their hair?

I've always been a hair fanatic since a little girl and when I found this forum I was like

Now I want my hair to get healthy sooooo badly. I have damaged sides and a damaged nape thanks to the last stylist If my hair could just retain moisture and be shiny and thick. I'd be so happy. I could care less about length. I just dont wanna be ashamed to wear my hair down anymore

I think about my hair wayyyyyyyyy too much. I notice in the past I got good growth when I wasnt stressing over it too much.

I love seeing the progress pics here but it also makes me impatient about my progress and I compare my hair to everyone elses, which I know I shouldn't do.

I love this board and I have learned sooooooo much but I think I might need a break from the hair section. it's making me go

So my name is Locabouthair and I am hair obsessed.

Which ya'll probably knew by my screenname

Girl me too! I seriously need to stop, its not cute how much I think about my hair and believe me my family and friends are so annoyed with me talking about my hair all the time. Im seriously going to pray about it. Its an obsession to the max!

My name is fnggrant and im hair obsessed.

I have been thinking about this for the past couple of days. It is true, if you don't pay attention you'll see more progress, IMO. I totally agree with everything you said.

I took a break from the hair section for a while too. But after I relaxed my hair, I started obessing all over again. When I am 8 weeks post and just can't take it anymore, I'll likely take a break again till my next relaxer.

Your hair has made great progress.

Ladies, it's so bad. I was looking at my two year old goddaughter's hair. I was trying to find out what hair type she was Until she said, "get off of me!"

It's like when i wanna take a break from the board, I always end up having a new hair issue. Now the latest one was finding a good no lye relaxer. I bought creme of nature today. Hopefully it will work.

Now my new issue is dryness.

I can talk about hair all day.

Hilarious!! You know it's bad when the baby tells mama to back off.

Same here ... I've been obsessed about my hair since I was 14. I'm a lost cause.

I'm hair obsessed as well, It's mostly when I'm stretching that I become obsessed. I am so ready to be MBL and I'm not even BSL yet . Most of all I just want my hair to maintain its health, fullness and to continue to grow. I just leave it alone and keep it bunned seven days a week so I won't obsess over the length so much.

 

[Sha76]

I hear ya !!

Last Year I did not obsess about my hair much at all. And it seemed to grow like a weed. But this year I have seemed to get obsessed again. I gotten myself down to visiting 2 times per week, but I am aiming for once every 2 weeks.

 

[Jassy28]

OMG, Im not going to tell you how late I stayed up the other night on this board. Im ashamed to even admit it . Girls, I need help! Oh, and my family is tired of hearing about my hair too.

 

[Extremus]

Yes! I feel you. If I had to choose length over health (at the time), I would've choosen length w/o a doubt. Now I can care less (sometime) about length, I just want my hair healthy and even.

 

[Aggie]

Well I must say, this is quite timely as I was thinking that when I paid less attention to my hair, it grew faster too. In fact, this is easiest for me when I put in a protective style like braids for about 8 weeks at a time, or corn-rowing my hair and wearing a wig 2 weeks at a time, undo, deep condition and start all over again. Never mind the measuring every few weeks. Now I want to measure my hair length and progress every 3 - 4 months only from now on, I think.....Wishful thinking I know, but I gatta try. Perhaps post here once a week or two.

Well Loca you KNOW I'm not as obsessed as you lmao!! But I am very CONCERNED about my hair growth and especially my moms hair. Her hair styling pisses me off to no end. She has a short texturized cut and her "stylist" cut her hair into a boxed/high top type of style. I looked at her like when I first saw it and she looked like she was gonna cry. To make it worse my brother came home that nite and said dont worry when you get it done it will look better after hearing her freak out ( he didnt know she had JUST gotten it done 20 mins earlier smh).

It takes every ounce of self control for me to NOT tell women I meet about the site. My best friend..... I just tell her things I learn and she looks at me like i'm crazy. I'm obsessed enough for them about their own hair.

 

[AsTheCurlzTurns]

Ummmmm obsessed???
Uhhhh first step is admitting you gotta problem! And I, Curlz, proclaim I'm NOT obsessed, more like POSSESSED instead!!
Hey hair is hair, and it's my side hustle, so I can't help it!

 

[Duchesse]

Omg! This is so true. I really have to make myself stop thinking about hair so much, it's making me feel crazy now that it's infiltrated into my dreamserplexed.

Back when I didn't care about this stuff, I swear my hair would grow like mad! I think the universe is punishing me or something..let me start volunteering my energy to a worthy cause..watch my hair leap down to my booty in a year!
