What a difference are you having with Longer Hair

[Nightingale]

The day after I wash, it never fails to find LOOOOONG strands of hair between my butt cheeks while I am washing the next morning. I know TMI, but I NEVER EVER had that problem before I had "long" hair.

Also, I think I am developing a very mild case of bacne

This is me all day, everyday! I'm embarrassed that my SO will see an errant hair and take off.

That'a hillarious. Yeah, I've got that same "butt crack hair trap" too.
Also, I would always get my hair caught in the car door and driver's side window too. That pissed me off.

 

[Royal Glory]

I love this thread! You guys are sooooo funny!

I am finding some of the same things now that my hair is approaching arm pit.

I notice it in my peripheral vision. (The first time this happened, it startled me! )
It often gets caught in my lip gloss on breezy days.
I have to pull it from under my clothes after dressing.
I only have one bonnet that is large enough to fit over my larger rollers before bed.
I really have to section it more when blowdrying or using the curling iron.
When I'm singing and moving in the choir, it flips from side to side more.
It gets caught in the seat belt and my purse or briefcase strap.
It gets caught under arms during hugs, especially when my two-year-old grandson hugs me tightly.
On the few occassions that I wear it unwrapped (with my satin pillow case) at night, it gets in the way.

 

[CHECKMATE!]

Lets see:


-it gets stuck to my gloss on a windy day
-caught between my pursestrap
-people love to touch to my hair now(dont like that )
-coworkers ask me for my regimen ...but i have not perfected one as yet
-Im a few inches from APL, and yes,I am a flipper ...people hate it!... but I keep flipping
-my SO thought I had a weave (when I had it blown out) 2wks ago
-I have "hair swagger" (swinging),when I walk.....ooooooo...weeeeeee....

But I can't wait 4 it 2 get caught in my booty

DOUBLE POST

 

[The Girl]

dare I even say this...after wearing it down for a few hours it starts to get on my nerves...I am searching for a clip or a stick or pencil to put it up and out of my way...its an annoyance I love though!

 

[SohoHair]

I can get away with less accessories/simpler clothing. I no longer feel the need for my dangly earrings AND chunky ring AND necklace. I usually just go with the ring, wear something drapey, put on some black leggings and my black boots and i'm out!

 

[SignatureBeauty]

I want Hair In My Butt Cheeks To

I am Lying, I don't think I could deal with it that Long.

But too add to the Questions even though I am still in a Twa stage I have had some Knowledge that my hair is growing too.

(1) Using More Conditioner
(2) Taking me over an Hour To Dry
(3)Twa is Getting Bigger
(4)I can do mini twist

And that is it, But I am Happy at My Progress

I must wear my hair up during the summer cuz my neck get's hot. How do the MBL women manage during the summer

ROFL...

 

[Divine Inspiration]

LMAO Elephant fat... People are crazy

Right!!! When she said that, I was looking like and she's like, "Oh, so you don't wanna share your little growth stuff?" Again, I was like because I hadn't been using any topical growth treatments because they're not really my thing unless I'm treating a specific area. So yeah, I was TOTALLY thrown off by "elephant fat"

 

[Blu217]

I'll feel a tickle down the length of my arm and pull at my hair thinking it's a stray hair, only to find that pup is just all kindsa rooted in there.

And I look cuter with less effort.

My hair STAYS up during the summer...I try to find ways to make it shrink so it won't be so hot. I've already started buying headbands and barettes because I'm planning to do a lot of buns and curly ponytails...the heat is just going to be too much. It looks pretty hanging down with halter tops and sundresses but only for a few hours...after that, it's miserable and HOT!

 

[Doll]

I'm reading this thread at work LMAO! Then, it comes to me that I have some issues too!

I watch TV in my favorite chair and sometimes I fall asleep with my elbow on the chair arm and head propped up on my hand. Well, I unknowingly have my hair caught between my hand and head (even under my elbow) and every time I nod off which is continuously until I awaken fully, I yank my own hair (not to mention scaring myself) and sometimes breaking a few strands! Man, that ticks me off but good!

Every time I see a shedded hair which is quite often, I want to glue it back to my head because it's so long and pretty to me.

My low braid (protective style) gets caught behind me in the driver's seat along with my barrette (sp) and everyday I'm paranoid of puncturing my leather upholstry

....LONG HAIR YOU"VE GOT TO LOVE IT!!!

 

[Healthb4Length]

when it's windy out and it blows in your face so you can't see or gets stuck on your lip gloss...eww...

When you go get your hair braided and you're quoted one price over the phone but as soon as they see your hair they start quoting another much higher price!

 

[GoldenBreeze]

I see a long hair in the bathroom sink, and ask the lady that works for me if it's her's. She says "no", and I ask her if she's certain. She says "yes, because it has curves in it and mine is straight." I shake my head, and we both start laughing.

 

[EMJazzy]

I remember being that I had to by more product more often then it dawned on me that the reason was because my hair was getting longer....I go thru a bottle of conditioner a week. My hair is also taking much longer to dry than before. I wear my hair in a shrunken bun so I don't have any issues with getting it caught in things and blowing in my face (at the moment) but I'm sure I would have those problems if I flatironed my hair. Thank God I'm in Bootcamp.

I was just thinking of this thread today. Glad it's back on top!

Lately when I sit in my computer chair here at home, I'm always leaning on my hair. When I try to move my head, that's when I feel it pulling. *ouch*

I'm loving feeling it on my back! Since my last touchup, I don't know what a bun is. I'm enjoying it, but I'll be back to my usual routine soon.

 

[wheezy807]

Yeah, that's me.......always leaning on my hair when i'm in a chair. Or when i put on my clothes- a top or something or even my coat, i always have to pull my hair out from under it.

 

[MzOptimistic]

When I'm trying to roll my hair on caruso's, I have to stretch the hair wayyyyyy out to roll and then I end up starting from the middle of my hair to roll it because my arms gets tired. I'm not complaining or anything but good lawd what am I going to do when it gets longer

 

[senimoni]

Yep! I'm always trying not to flip too hard, but sometimes you gotta REALLY throw it to get it out of the way.


-I've gotten lots of weave questions/comments and even eye rolls when I tell people it's all mine. Then they ask if I put weird concoctions like elephant fat in it to make it grow...I'm like, uh no...just monkey ball sweat. Just kidding!
-It takes FOREVER to rollerset, and it's really tough on my arms to pull the hair in the back straight to get it around the roller. I think this is why I'm getting too lazy to do them.
-It's constantly getting caught on my purse strap so I have to pull it back, put the purse on, then release the hair. Sometimes people give me that "it ain't that deep" look, but I just ignore them because they're usually the ones with the busted hair.

LOL@ monkey ball sweat - umm, can you PM your recipe and mb sweat provider?

I was just talking to my sister about the hair flips needed due to the purse/bookbag or eating. I feel so odd doing it....but it really is necessary. I've caught my hair too many times and been stuck leaning to the left/right to avoid pulling.

I'm forever pulling hair out of odd places too.

Fortunately, I don’t have to handle my hair much. My hair stylist does most of the work. My hair is just about waist length now. I wear it in a bun 98 percent of the time. Even then some strands of my hair will hang on my shoulders, neck or back despite the fact that I use five or six large bobby pins to pin it up.

It feels like spiders are crawling on my back, shoulders or neck—more so when I wear my hair down. It gets caught on my purse strap or seatbelt if I wear it loose; floats in my bowl or plate while eating and it ends up in my mouth while talking or drinking from a water fountain . . . sticks to my lipstick during windy days. Toothpaste gets on it when I’m brushing, and I’m not aware of it until later. When people hug me, my hair gets trapped, and I can't move until they stop hugging me. Whenever I put on a jacket, I have to pull my hair out first.

On a nice sunny day, I was driving with my window down, and I felt my pinned-up hair rubbing against my neck as normal. What I didn’t realize is that it wasn’t my hair at all. All of a sudden I felt this sharp, stinging pain on the side of my neck. I was really startled that I had to yell. I was stung by a bumblebee, and it really hurt! I looked to the edge of the door, and the bee was just sitting there enjoying the ride. All of a sudden, I started scratching my neck, and it became red. Then it started swelling up.

Had I had short hair, this would have never happened . . . because I would have rubbed my neck wondering what was crawling on it, and that would have taken care of the bee.

In addition, it draws attention from people, and they ask me questions especially men . . . the wrong kind of men that is.

My monkey ball sweat provider is top secret. I'll give you the recipe though...you need castor oil, MN, MTG, Sulfur 8, Boundless Tresses, and monkey ball sweat. Put it all in a blender and deep condition it with every day for 8 hours. Your hair will grow 3 feet in 2 weeks. I guarantee it!

I HATE that pulling feeling when my hair gets caught under a strap. Ugh!

i'm really shocked that this happened to you. got me scratching my neck the whole time i was reading this.

 

[Poohbear]

I noticed as my hair gets longer, it's easier to detangle when soaking wet.
