Too much time ????

[Aaliyah]

Do you sometimes think that you spend too much time on haircare (washing,conditioning,popping vitamins, reading hair magazines and books, talking to other people about hair and being on this forum 24/7, etc).

(Sometimes I have to tell myself: " Give it a rest girl, it'll grow, just leave it alone"

).

When it comes to actually performing my hair care regimen, I don't look at it as too much time - instead I tend to look at it as an investment, especially after so many years of unknowingly harming my hair! I have much to make up for!

But sometimes I think I get carried away reading different forums, etc. But it's just fun and informative at the end of the day so no harm done, right? lol

Well I actually like doing hair, not just my hair either. As far as being on this forum, yes I spend too much time here.

I do find myself overly preoccupied with my hair and I am so stuck on this board that I sometimes forget how to surf other sites. Anyway, I told myself to stop looking for the next best thing; Stick to what works for now. Stop obsessing over split ends;trims with every relaxer will be good enough. Stop freaking out over the hairs in the comb (brush, tub, etc.); hairs do shed. Yeah, I know what you mean

i did obsess until i got braids. ever since then, i've become even lazier than i was before. i spent so many years having to do my hair twice a week that this washing and combing once a week has been a treat!

I'm nowhere as obsessed as I used to be, thank goodness. I was reading some of my old journal entries from last year, and everyday I entered something, hair was mentioned at least once. That's a damn shame.

I became more obsessed with hair now than i was before joining this forum.

I would say I probably messed with my hair more back then when it was longer because I used the curling irons everyday. I also used grease, nothing else. I never protected my hair at night, just slept on a cotton case pillow. My hair always looked dry and stayed the same length.

Now, I mess with my hair the most once a week when I shampoo, condition, etc. I moisturize my hair most of the days out of the week whenever I remember to or have time to. I dont feel like that is too much time for hair. Ive gotten rid of the curling irons so I think that will help my hair drastically.

I probably spend more time 'talking' about hair than doing my hair. I've become a little lazy (lately) when it comes to doing my hair.

Everytime I think of journaling I stop myself for this very reason. I don't journal anymore about anything, so why for hair?! It would just be more time dedicated to the illness.

As far as caring for my hair... I don't think I spend too much time. Just b/c I wash my hair a few times per week, which is more than most non-forum women, I don't think it's excessive, though they might. I think it's more excessive to spend 4 hours waiting in a salon every other week just to get a shampoo and curl.

So it all evens out. Now as far as the amount of time I spend talking about hair on this forum....

that's another issue.

As far as my weekly wash routine goes no I don't think I spend too much time on my hair because I keep my regimin as simple as possible (i've never been one to mess with my hair a lot). Now as sengschick said if your gonna ask about time spent on this forum talking about hair that's completely different

I don't think I'm obsessed. Even though my mother tells me I'm vain when it comes to my hair, I just like for my hair to look good. If a person works out all the time are they obsessed or just try to stay healthy! Some of my friends that I would never cut my hair short. They say "hair isn't everything" and "hair doesn't make you" blah blah blah. My hair doesn't make me the person I am but I love having it.
