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

[tiffers]

-When any commercial having anything to do with hair comes on, your 4 year old stops what she's doing, points at the tv and says ''Mommy, you want that!''

-When you take your kids to the store, your 4 year old asks ''Are we gonna get some conditioners?''

-When your 1 year old enjoys getting her hair washed and conditioned, because she likes her freshly washed curls

-When you see a new product in the store, you whip out your cell phone and get on the internet to do a quick search to see if it's good or not

I love this thread. Bumping for subscription.

 

[joyandfaith]

:werd: didn't pantene seem so expensive back in the day?

Yes! hahaahaha I was just thinking that yesterday. I remember when I thought someone must have been well off if I went to their house and they had Pantene in the shower.

 

[joyandfaith]

when you find yourself lying about what you'll be doing that night in order to get out of social obligations. Instead you're going home to do an overnight DC...and you're really excited about it

 

[Christa438]

Your 2 yo "sets up" a nearby table when you say it's time to do her hair. She brings you her products (also wide-tooth comb/container of hair accessories/water spray bottle)...she only has two small hands so it may take her 2 or 3 trips to and from the bathroom.

You haven't checked your mailbox in a week or two (which may be full of bills due,) but you've checked lhcf/your fav thread everyday.

Your SO calls you and messes with you by asking if you're watching some new tv show knowing full well you are glued to the computer.

At home SO talks to the baby but is really talking to you saying "Mommy needs to get off the computer , doesn't she? mommy is addicted "

You plan ahead of time a pretty style (you've stolen from another member) to wear for an upcoming holiday/special event .

You can tell who will probably post in threads or who will not--depending on the titles. ("Naturals," "Texlaxed," "Relaxed," "Long Long haired ladies"...)

How about this:

I feel guilty that I said, like 100 years ago, that I was gonna update my fotki and I haven't as of yet.

My 12 y.o. daughter was bored last weekend and she asked to see my dig cam, I said okay and she goes out of my bedroom. After a little while, she brings it back to me and goes to play her game. I look in my camera to see what she was taking pics of. What do I see?? Pics of the back of her head!! My baby is a LHCFer!

 

[tiffers]

When a member changes her userID but you recognize her anyway.

So true!!! It was a while before I noticed Glamazon, Tee, Gin and StillALady changed their names! I didn't even notice Glamazon had changed her name until someone pointed it out!

How adorably funny!!!!

 

[SUZIEq]

When you work the late night shift at work and instead of givng patients their medication or checking in on them to make sure they are alive you are busy reading all the topics on the computer you missed all day because you were catching up on your sleep during the day.

When you are having conversations with people in real life and some of the things they say or do make you think of the smilies we all use frequently on the board -

 

[lurkersincejan]

When your SO asks you to help him find a hair board to get his waves poppin! and we sure did find one, I had all the ingredients in my bathroom already

 

[RegaLady]

When you forget to feed your kids, because you are on here for too d*** long!

 

[TriniStarr]

When you go to Staples and purchase yourself a LARGE 3 ring binder and print threads that you may need to refer to in the near future because the search option does work for you and have to hide it when you have company.

 

[HAIRapy]

When you don't let people see the pics in your cellphone because a big chunk of the pics are pics of the back of your head with this weird measurement T-shirt on that no one else BUT a LHCFer could be wearing for her close-up moment (the T-shirt is only weird to outsiders, but not to us)


When your new SO laughs and calls you a weirdo because he saw ALL your back-of-the-head pics that you tried to hide from him.

 

[Stiletto_Diva]

When its 11 at night and you decide that it's time to go to bed because you're too tired to continue writing your paper that's due that week, but decide to check the board one last time before you go to sleep and the next time you look to check the time it's 3 am

 

[Energist]

When you get on here and read through the threads first thing in the morning (well after your regular email) and then last thing before going to bed at night. I know that I'm addicted, but it's a combination of the hair and political forum that has gotten me this way

 

[HoneyA]

When you go to the BSS to scout out the products you think you might want to buy first but buy nothing because you have to consult the board first by doing a quick search.

When people around you ask if you are BSL or MBL yet.

When you spend hours in the BSS reading the ingredients and directions on products, talking to yourself and trying to remember what board members said about certain products and what the general consensus was.

When you feel absolute contentment and peace wandering around a BSS

 

[NuMe2004]

Girl, I totally feel you on this! I have to stop myself from obsessing over folks hair when I'm sitting in the pews at church! Bad, I know.

 

[crlsweetie912]

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

When your friends and family point out people with BUSTED hair and say "crl, what does she need?"

I know I've been on here too much when I feel the need to explain what I posted if it was taken the wrong way by some people who read it. I shouldn't even care.... right?erplexed

 

[neeka387]

When you’ve already said, “I wont by any more hair products”…. And you’re not even a member yet!!!!

When you have 50 threads saved so you can post in when you join

When you’ve joined 4 challenges….and you’re not even a member yet.

When you come back from lunch early just to sit at the computer and read the posts wishing you had a sign that says “I’m still on lunch”


When you have a disaster preparedness plan: You’ve assigned your Hair Regimen Assistant (aka, your best friend (male)) to go through the posts for you in the event that you can’t get on the website for more than 3 days.

When you even have a Hair Regimen Assistant (of course they have a copy of your regimen to keep you on track) !!!

 

[KAT25]

I am always in the hair care section in every store that I go in... I even make up needing stuff like chapstick.. lotion etc so I can go to the store and get the new product that we are talking about on LHCF

 

[Jenai]

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.

It IS my homepage. erplexed

When you only get about 2 hours of sleep because you are catching up on all the news posts/threads.

When you have to research LHCF to make a shopping list before hitting the BSS.

 

[MizaniLocs]

When your SO asks you when it's time for a relaxer cuz he's your camera man and he likes the attention!

When your SO asks you to email him ALL hair pics that you take without him, because he's REALLY into charting your growth!

 

[LushLox]

I'm feeling this one so much! I went to my BSS to pick up a few things and it was like I felt a kind of relief around being so many hair products. It was like I had finally returned home after a hard day at work!

I have to prepare my camera if I go out to make sure that if i need someone to take a picture, they don't happen to scroll through and see pics of the back of my head...and start asking questions

Girl, I totally feel you on this! I have to stop myself from obsessing over folks hair when I'm sitting in the pews at church! Bad, I know.

I sit and diagnose what their hair problems are, end up SMH when it's a particularly bad case and try to create regimens for them. Sometimes I get the urge to say something but then I decide against it. There are so many who need my help.

 

[IDareT'sHair]

You know you've been on here too much when you sit and write out Hair Care Regimens like it is Your "Thesis" or something.

You list out products step by step and stage by stage in how you're going to use them and when.

You find yourself mapping out your haircare regimen for a whole month or you sit and write up a whole Variety of Oil Mixtures, Pre-Poo & Conditioner "Recipes."
