Yall know you've been on here too much when...

[HAIRapy]

I'm at my daughter's basketball practice yesterday watching the girls run up and down the court and I'm paying more attention to whose hair is/isn't flopping happily up and down the court instead of what plays are being made! Happy to say that my daughter's hair was one of the happily flopping ones

A few of the girls' hair wasn't moving at all... I was thinking "darn, how hard is her hair? It's not even moving as she runs, poor thing!"

What sign have you seen in yourself that you may me on here a tad too much??

You're in the mall or Walmart and you start wondering about the hair types of other customers. You start wondering if you use garlic shampoo or garlic oil on your dog, will it stop the shedding?

• When your husband tells his relatives to call you for hair advice when he thinks their hair is not up to par.
• When you have a fight in your head about whether or not you should give this website address to the woman ahead of you on line.
• When your husband sees your camera on the bed and asks you if you want him to take pictures of your head again.
• When you have piles of paper on your work desk that have not been sorted because you have been refreshing LHCF all day and chatting via PM.
• When your SIL knows all the terms (BSL, MSM, BC, EVOO) and uses them in daily conversations with other people and schools them on it if they don't know what she is talking about.
• When you take great pictures (non-hair related) and think how you can't wait to share them on the board.
• When you wonder how a particular member is doing (when you are finally off the computer) because of a thread she posted.

You used to spend no more than $20 for hair stuff(including hair brushes and all) but now $100 is just for a few items....

Sorry, mom.

First CONGRATS Pretty Haitian on losing 22lbs.!!!!!! That's an accomplishment! But I sometimes take pics and think in the back of my mind, "if my hair looks good in this pic I'll post it on my fotki"!

*sings* I wanna be downnnn lol. Too kute!

You know you've been on here a tad too much when you start cooking for your hair before you start cooking for your family

 

[ladylibra]

*when your SO has people you don't even know calling you and asking for hair advice (we went to different schools last semester)

*when co-workers at a new job ask when you're doing another YouTube vid... and you never even told them you were on YouTube!

*when you try to have a "normal" hair convo with someone, and they ask how long your hair is or how long you're trying to get it... and you say "oh i'm APL," not armpit length mind you, ay-pee-elle!

*when you've memorized how to write out your favorite smileys... instead of clicking them. for example i actually hit SHIFT+; write yep and then SHIFT+; again for this smiley

*when you can recognize people by their hair (or backs/brastraps in some cases! )

*again, when you try to have a normal convo with someone, and you bring up one of your hair forum friends... then you realize you don't even know their real name! and you feel stupid saying, "my friend ladykaypnyc makes YouTube vids about her hair too!"

i could go on and on, i have a true online hair forum addiction...

When your SO occasionally starts asking you to take care of HIS hair

 

[gymfreak336]

When board members have your phone number and you look foward to talking with them via 3-way

When half of your grocery list are hair related items

When your idea of passing time in class is to rewrite your wish list over and over in different colored pens

When you start hair typing and diagosing everyone that passes by

When you do the ^^above on the phone with your family and they actually understand what you are saying

 

[naturalmanenyc]

When you give hair advice to friends/family/coworkers based on LHCF and bring up your "hair board friends" but don't know their real names.

I just did this today when talking about cowashing in the morning before work.

These responses are funny! I have more...

When you're driving, everyone else is upset about traffic. All you can think about is what you're going to put in your next hair recipe.

Your SO sees your recipe notebook and asks what you're planning to make and your response is "Something for my hair". He's like .

When you share a little information with a friend, they ask "how did you found out about this". You're response is "I have a friend in New York, Cali, the Caribbean, or the U.K., etc. that uses this". You've never met your 'friend'. You just study their regimens or stalk their fotki's.

 

[me-T]

when you think about what topics you wanna post

Yes, this is me!!! I am notorious for saying one of my friends in ___________ uses that on her hair and it looks great! (well, I DO know how it looks b/c I have stalked her fotki!!!) I find myself saying this when someone that is not the same hair type as me asks for advice. I can immediately think of a member on the board and remember reading a regimen

-^^If not this statement, I slip up and say "the ladies on the board". (I do this quite often when I am trying to share some good tidbit of information that I found here, whether hair related or not, and then the person gets the nerve to ask me where I found out about that at. I have to catch myself and say "this message board I frequent".

-When you log onto LHCF the first thing when you get to work (before checking emails) to skim the topics. I often have my browser open all day and minimized while at work, popping in occasionally to skim through the topics.

-When you start thinking of regimens for people in your head if you happen to see them and their hair is not up to par. (I mean complete strangers)

[LadyKaypnyc]

When I go to the gym, I check people's hair out

Especially they way they style it before coming to they gym and after leaving...Today, this one lady was putting globs and globs of black gel on her hair and brushing it all hard. I was cringing...on this flipside, I saw this woman with beautiful hair (somewhere between BSL and MBL). It look really healthy and shiny.

Anyhoo, sometimes I have to catch myself b/c I don't want folks thinking I'm checking them out

Oh, and sometimes forget to turn off the forum lingo when talking to regular folk, especially my SO, I do it so much, you'd think he would know it all by now

I got one more...

You wish you could make LHCF your homepage instead of Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.

Who cares about what's going on in Hollywood? I would rather get the latest info from my LHCF sistas.
