You know you are addicted to hair borads/blogs when.....

.....While in the store before I purchase a product I will log onto LHCF to see the reviews. It's the only way I'll buy things ;)
 
When u take the advice of LHCF women about vitamins & supplements instead of checking with your doctor LMAO!!!
When u find urself in the kitchen looking like a dag on chemist mixing oils and powders to death!!
When your work wardrobe has suffered and your hair products are on point.
When u walk down the street and assume that every black women u see is a potential LHCF'er
When u drive 20 miles outside of ur own city to find a product. Burning hella gas to and from and ur DH don't even know u have crossed state lines ISO some dag on CONDITIONER.
When your mom calls you once a week to notify u that a new package has arrived at HER house.

You get mad and cry when the blogger BKT's, relaxes, goes natural and/or cuts her hair

:lachen: I hardly ever buy a product without researching it on LHCF first...

...You know you are addicted to hair boards when you get super excited about a thread topic and try to tell your friends about it, while the whole time they're like :perplexed:ohwell::look:

ETA:
After spending over an hour reading a thread raving about a product, you rush and spend money you don't have (just happened):ohwell:

Re: You know you are addicted to hair boards/blogs when.....

U know u are addicted to hair boards when u can't commit to getting to work on time, saving more money, or even quit smoking BUT ur butt can commit to a hair challenge from 6 months to a year!!!! :lachen:
 
when u get that excited, overwhelming feeling of joy and a big ol' kool-aid smile.....when u buy that new raved about product. And dont let it be on sale/discounted. it's only a hair product, this u know...but in ur eyes, u just won the lotto.
 
When you're on your iPhone in the beauty salon and reading all while your stylist sees everything your looking at. Especially when your in the threads that begin with.. Horrible salon experience.. Or... When to fire your stylist!!
 
When you've stayed up all night on the boards and realize that in three hours you have to get up and get ready for work! :shocked:
 
  • When you only get about an hour worth of work done before lunch time and then cramming to get everything done you wanted/needed to before it's time to get off
  • As soon as you get home you grab your laptop and get on LHCF
  • When your SO says "Are you on longhairdontcare (what he calls it)again?", "All you do is look at longhairdontcare" etc
  • When you pull out your phone in the car, at the store, etc. to check on LHCF
  • When you post something and check back every two minutes to see if someone has written back yet or "thanked" you
  • When you don't get alot of responses to your post and it's eventually pushed further down in the pages, you post it again in a different way or :bump: yourself
  • When you've read threads and reviews about different products and when you finally see it in the store you get all excited when before you wouldnt've looked at it twice
  • You read ingredients of bottles at the store even though you still don't know what your reading
  • When you see a product you've read about but grab your phone out your purse to read the reviews again before you buy it
  • When one of your hair idols responds to something you wrote or gives you advice you feel special
  • When you've listed 5 or more things and still can add more...:look:

When you stay up till 6am on the forums and have an exam at 9am. (This was actually TODAY, LHCF vs. College Career??? WOW).
When you DREAM about your hair and what you're going to do with it (been dreaming about semi-perms all week)
When you dream about your next trip to the bss.
When you actually write a LIST of how you're going to do your next wash/cond routine.
When you think your phone alarm is a bottle of leave in cond.

When you see a truck with the letter A.P.L. on it and you think it's a sign from the heavens that APL is closer than you think.
 
when you go into a store and realize that the product you've gone in for is gone and the first thing you think is " someone from LHCF been in here!!!! "

when You should be doing work but responding to post..
when you haven't been at work longer then 5mins and you bring up lhcf
when you look at a strangers hair and wonder what their regimen is..

WHen you have a secret closet/stash hidden from DH/SO. ---- wig challenge

:lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen::lachen: GUITLY!!!! OMG I am such a dreamer! LMAO :rolleyes:
 
Sade - u've got it bad!! LOL
Yes I truly do! We lost power yesterday b/c of the blizzard and I almost died!! I had plans to Wash and DC all day and the water was WAY too cold, so mad about it. I was not concerned about the food spoiling or anything :nono:. I was willing to do my hair by candle light.

LOL,:lachen::lachen::lachen: I KNOW that would be me. I would be mad at all my "plans" for the day being ruined.
 
- when my 5yr old tells her daddy I am on the "The hair salon site" when she see I log on
-when you have LHCF bookmarked on home computer, cell phone and work computer
- when my coworkers come and ask me a question they say" now what hair style your are looking at now"
-I don't even realize I am at the salon 3+ hours because I am on LHCF the whole time
- when you get packages delivered at different locations (i.e. work, mom's house) just so it won't look like you buy something every week/month.
 
When you contemplate making up an excuse to leave work to go pick up your package from USPS *like now* instead of just waiting for your lunch hour to go. :look:

Roundbrushair, bluebeez knows you by name when you call to order :blush::look: and know what you are ordering.
 
You know you're addicted when...

-You're sitting up at the bank counter as a teller, and between customers you downsize your cash drawer progam screen to browse/peruse LHCF, Diaspora Hair Care Forum, BHM, YT, and Fotki albums!

-(The stay up past your normal bedtime part definitely fits me).

-By early or late afternoon, your wrist hurts (despite an ergonomic wrist rest mouse pad), b/c between LHCF and Ebay, you've been on the move...stalking the best prices/recs for products, hair, wigs, and vitamins!

-During an online class, you listen to the professor talk, and occasionally add to the discussion, but in the meantime in between time, you're on LHCF or Fotki.

-It's the 1st site you check for new updates after your email and/or Facebook page! lol

-When you have a "hair journal," filled with all your hair goals, milestones reached, supplements/vits you take and when you started taking them, products used, and product wish list!

-When you dream of the day you'll have WL and longer hair, but in the meantime enjoy the hair porn posted on YT, Fotki, and of course, LHCF
