Things they DONT tell you about having long hair...

Wearing your long hair down with the top down in your convertible only looks cool in the movies. In real life, its all over the place and very irritating.
 
8. You can and will roll your hair up in the car window, especially if you have power windows

Just found this one out the hard way!!!
 
Before I big chopped I had BSB/Glazing MBL and you really get to see what kind of men are attractive to you just because of your hair. I rarely wore my hair straighten, but when I did all the haters would be making sure they are known :lol:

Sometimes I miss my long straight hair, but I prefer to be natural and length will always come.
 
I haven't read through all of this, but the first page had me on one!! Lol

Not long (by my standards) just yet; as it says in my siggy, I am creeping up on APL---in fact I am grazing woot woot, but I want full...but I digress! What I am saying is, I'd still like to add!!

When I straightened my hair back in May, I got a few questions of "what did you do"... To which I rattled off a list: Exercise, drink water, eat right, wash, deep condition, make sure hair is moisturized and oiled daily. Glazed over look followed by "Do you relax"... To which I reply: No. THEN I get this side eye look...with an "Ohhhhhhh okayyyyy" I guess that is supposed to insinuate that my being a natural head is THE reason for my hair growth. Uhmm...no...it’s HOW I care for my hair...did you not pay attention to my list??

My contribution piggybacks off of #14:: What it all boils down to is that no matter how you lay it out, folk will FIND a way to discount your advice and words of hair wisdom based upon their preconceived ideas (or for no substantial reason at all) and attribute your growth to something other than time, know-how and proper care.

This is soooo cute! I love it!:blush: My SO doesn't want anyone looking at my hair down but him. Even when my hair isn't down, if he is around and another man comes around to talk to him, he is always blocking the view so that man is only talking to him and not looking at me...:lol: He thinks I don't notice it but I do...

Long hair tip # 18... when your hair starts to get really long, going to the bathroom is a little problem. Tip... wrap your hair around your neck!:lol:

LOL, that is so funny! I watch Jeopardy so I use that quote often! You don't have to worry I'm not a part of LHCF's FBI.:eyebrows2:giggle:
 
Everyday things like purse straps, back packs, seat belts and coat are now the enemy.

Now you really will mean that you're washing your hair all day on Saturday.

Enjoy the taste of hair.

People can actually complement you hair while glaring at you at the same time.
 
People will tell you that they want to use your hair as a pillow.....:ohwell:. After mentioning how soft, fluffy it looks. I kindly walked away of course.....:lol:

OMG, Yes! Last year before my cut I took my husband to buy a "dad ring" for Father's Day. At that time I was doing daily co-washes with Suave mixed with V05 Tea Therapy :lick:. Anyway, I'm at the counter and I noticed my hubby walking up behind & to the side of me. I thought "no problem, hubby must really be excited about his ring". Problem is he kept getting closer :perplexed. I turn to see what he's doing and his nose was all up in my grill. I'm like "what are you doing? Were you sniffing my hair?" He stepped back and smiled. The cashier was watching and smiling from ear to ear. I think she enjoyed the show :yep: .
 
They also don't tell you that a large percentage of your recycling and garbage will be empty leave in and conditioner bottles, henna boxes, plastic caps (though I try to reuse the ones I can), gloves, etc....not to mention all the empty containers you try to keep are taking over your pantry.

sooooooo true!!! I have taken up all the cabinets in my bathroom. :look:
 
I wish someone woulda told me that it's a definite no no to blow bubbles with your chewing gum on a windy day when your hair is loose.....EPIC FAIL.....
 
By LHCF standards I'm bald :lachen: but I rarely chew gum now because gum with hair :perplexed turns you into a gagging spittin' fool.
 
Vacuuming becomes two chores: carpet sweeping itself, then you gotta sit down and yank and cut at the tighlty woven hairs around the roller bar. It's stopped one from working, once.

What else: When I wash my hair in the shower I must re-wash my back to get product off and hair clumps out from my butt cheeks. :look:

No one told me that there is a reason white girls with long hair fling and sling their hair around; it's not just to be cute. You really have to do that to get it out of the way of the above mentioned enemies.
 
If your hair is down.... make sure it is completely "under control" if you go out to a restaurant or else your food, other peoples food and their faces are in great danger of being attacked...:look: Especially if the restaurant has fans blowing and the seating arrangement is close together....

You get salty when family members attempt to use your family size bottle of detangling conditioner. You run through those bottles quick enough without any help. Just because it says "family" on the bottle doesn't mean its true.

Tip Alert...

OMG!:blush: I have one more to add from today's events. This can happen with your hair down or in a ponytail like me... Be careful when you turn to walk away from someone, especially in the work place. You end up slapping people around! Even though some people need it!:lachen:Thank goodness when I walked away it wasn't because I was angry.:look:
Click to expand...

+1 on this! My hair is no where near as long as yours but when going to a club or bar with friends I always have to walk behind everyone else because sometimes i accidentally may slap someone in the face with my ponytail if i turn my head to fast lol

Also, if people haven't seen you in a long time and your hair has grown since then you're subject to receiving the "Heeeey look how much hair you have! *Picks their hand through your hair to see if it's really all yours*" Like giving you a complement while weave checking you is an acceptable way to invade your personal space :look:
 
I love it! So true so true--so nice to hear someone else mention (and admit) the butt cheek thing.

My answer when people tell me my hair is long: "Thanks for noticing." :)
 
When you get your hair flat ironed or a relaxer after having worn it up for a week or two, that certain people that you deal with frequently, will get brand new and catch an immediate attitude.
