You know you are obsessed with hair when.......

[Azalia]

I feel lately that I've been experiencing some obsessive feelings when it comes to HAIR /images/graemlins/sekret.gif and I was just curious if anyone else has these feelings from time to time /images/graemlins/nuts.gif If so list some obsessive things that you do.


*Everyday check hair length /images/graemlins/grin.gif
*Visualize my hair at bra-strap length in the mirror
*Inspect every hair of head that I see /images/graemlins/scratchchin.gif
*When ever I see a long mane I think to myself now how long
will it take me to reach that length /images/graemlins/think.gif
*Whenever I miss taken a vitamin I get so angry with myself /images/graemlins/angry2.gif.

I'll leave room for others, HAVE FUN and confess away /images/graemlins/blush.gif

i know that i am obsessed with hair /images/graemlins/clap.gif and especially this board /images/graemlins/clap.gif /images/graemlins/clap.gif, cause when i get to work the first thing i do is log on to this board and STAY right here.

 

[londongirl3]

I know I'm obsessed because,

I have been typing messages on this site instead of reading for my last exam.
I stare at my hair in shop windows.
I have set a reminder on my phone to do my hair at noon on saturday.
I stare all day at pictures of hair that I want (Monicurl, Nay007, Pebbles, Sweet cocoa, den1 and a whole bunch of big afros on napturality.com)
I spend 3 hrs reading up what is in a conditioner before buying it.........and that is in the shop. I always used to be mistaken for a shoplifter, but I didn't care.
I talk to my boyfriend about hair and make him listen despite his lack of interst.

....you think about it just as much or more than sex.

you pray for the Lord to bless your hair and it's journey.

you look at other women's hair and can tell what products they'll need to use in order to make it healthy.

you just can't help talking about hair EVER

you picture your hair bra strap or waist length every time you have a daydream

you go away for a vacation and there's no room or you need an extra bag for hair care products

you feel guilty if your hair touches something non silky

you know the layout of the black hair shop and can direct someone around the store to the hair mayonnaise without actually being in the store.

you can advise everything from what relaxer, colour, conditioner and shampoo to use.

you're known as the one who knows all about hair.

you worry about your hair during 'doin the nasty' with your man, for fear of it being messed up or touching an 'evil' material.

 

[diamoness]

You know you're obsessed with hair when......you are sick with the flu and have a temperature of 102, but wash and deep condition your hair anyway to stay on schedule.

I know..... /images/graemlins/naughty.gifPray for me

This is very much me........I probably would never have brought it up but it's been a concern of mine for YEARS now and it drives my bf crazy... /images/graemlins/nuts.gif

 

[NAY007]

i know i am obsessed with hair because i could talk about it all the time with my sister and friends but they are not into hair /images/graemlins/cry3.gif. so you are the only guys i can really talk about hair /images/graemlins/rofl.gif. everybody else just roll their eyes /images/graemlins/frown.gif

 

[mirrormirror]

I am definitley hair-obsessed. I only use 100% Natural soft boar bristle brush, super wide tooth comb and a rattail comb. Sleep on a satin pillow case plus wear a satin scarf on my head at night. Wrap my hair every night to keep my hair and ends smooth. Drink tons of water even though I hate water, but it keeps my skin clear and my hair hydrated. Must get my hair wash and deep conditioned every week at the salon. Mainly wear my hair in a bun everyday to work. I always need product reviews from this site before I use a product. And I am forever on this site.

 

[brownrelaxedhair]

When I open my dresser and look at my products. Talk about an Aladins Cave.

Re: You know you are obsessed with hair when......

LOL! Y'all are hilarious. /images/graemlins/trampoline.gif

Here's mine:

When you tell your assistant principal at work that the principal is stressing you out and it's got to stop because you don't want your hair to start coming out! --AND she knows exactly what you're talking about because she caught you on Long Hair Care Forum one day in the students' computer lab.

LOL! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

 

[zanna]

You log on the long hair care forum every day, even if it is to read everyone's posts only. you dream of long hair at night(in your sleep). you turn around and look at others' long hair. you stay hours in a health food store, reading at all the ingredients of all hair products and vitamins. you measure your hair every week! your sigh and say to yourself " I wish that my hair could grow 1 inch/week", and you are trying every thing you can to make it happen! You consider your hair more precious than diamonds!
That's me I am hair obsessed! /images/graemlins/nuts.gif My husband teases me about my obsession, but he just loves my hair! /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[LondonDiva]

Even if your hair isn't as long as that girl's hair on the train. you know it eventually will be, but in the process it's more healthier cause youjust know more about hair.

you take a day off work cause your hair just doesn't look right (I have done this) /images/graemlins/nono.gif

sometimes you'd prefer to shampoo and condition rather than go out for a night on the town.

 

[Julia]

you know you are obsessed with hair when your husband (how by the way is very supportive of me taking care of my hair) begins to complain that you are spending way too much time on the computer with the LHCF and not enough with him. /images/graemlins/spank.gif

 

[Julia]

O I got another one,

you know you need help when you are at church and the sermon is going forth and you are daydreaming about how long and beautiful your hair is going to be... instead of listening to the Word.

pray for me please /images/graemlins/frown.gif

[churchlady]

say amen somebody!

 

[Leshia]

You KNOW you 'dun lost yo' mind when:

Your husband just stares at you when you ask, "Do you think my hair is growing?" (for the 3rd time that day);

When you just stare in the mirror...for hours...;

When you put your hands in a stranger's hair and demand to know every product they're using and how!

*LAUGHING* *clears throat* Not speaking from experience, or anything....*whistling and looking around*

OOOPS! That's me. I have been at work since 7 this morning and out of those 12 hours, I have been sitting here for about ten. Had to go to the bathroom at some point, right?

 

[pebbles]

I know what you mean Julia! It happened to me today at church. I also sat there and was diagnosing a whole bunch of heads that were looking like they needed help; just dry, dry, dry hair, all through out the congregation. /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

 

[Jade21]

This was HILARIOUS!! I enjoyed reading a lot!

Azalia, what about any dreams you've had? Girl, they should be coming soon /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Diamoness....girl, feel much, much better. I had a nasty bug myself this year...seems to be making the rounds big time. Ahem...maybe next time, think about dousing your hair in a bit of oil, braiding it and FORGET it. After the worst is over, deep conditioning with a little protein and definitely a moisturizing conditioner.

Here are a few of mine:

**You sit with some toenail scissors going through your entire head for two hours looking for split ends. You find a few, but keep wondering for the next two hours: Did I really get ALL of them?

**You've got 4 months before it's time to go to your barber for a trim and you seriously wonder whether it's too early to make the appointment. It's not like he's going anywhere, right?

Who's next? /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[prettygrl]

you should be studying--but you are always reading this board!!!!!!

 

[Paris Belle]

*You stay online for hours upon hours and 95% of that time is spent on LHCF. In fact, you can barely tear yourself away from the site to watch your FAVORITE TV shows.

* You check the forum every minute to see what topic was just posted and to read the latest post...

* You wonder constantly if your regime is correct and look for ways to improve it, even if it's working... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

* You want to try EVERY product mentioned here at LHCF

* You have lunch with other obssessed members (I'm assuming really) because they like you want to talk about hair and no one else does! LOL..

* Whenever you see someone with damaged hair, not only do you know what products they need (like London Diva said), but you have to literally stop yourself from offering advice to strangers/loved ones who don't want to hear it anyway...

* You run to the beauty supply store at least 3 times a week, and at least one of those times is just to check out products...

Re: You know you are obsessed with hair when......

You know you're obsessed when you give your co-workers dirty looks cause they interrupted you with WORK related questions /images/graemlins/mad.gif while you are trying to post a reply here... /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Tracy]

Great thread! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

1. When you won't lay down, no matter how tired you are, without tying your hair up.

2. When you have a spreadsheet with a formula that allows you to enter the length you want in inches and then add and subtract them as you trim and grow to have an EXACT picture of how many inches you need... /images/graemlins/crystalball.gif

3. When you search for hours trying to find exactly the right headscarf to address all of your headscarf needs and concerns... /images/graemlins/huh.gif

4. When you feel like a fish out of water because life is rudely demanding that you attend to IT instead of your ends and your hairline and your conditioner choices for the next few weeks.... /images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[Quinny]

Re: You know you are obsessed with hair when......

You have to keep a list in your daytimer of all of your logons and passwords for the 8+ hair boards you are a member of.
/images/graemlins/computer.gif
Your kitchen cupboards are packed....with vitamins, oils, nutritional supplements, essential oils, herbs and teas. All geared towards helping you attain longer hair!!! Forget the food your family needs! That can fit into the one cupboard left over.
/images/graemlins/grin.gif
You had to create a database and check out cards for your small library of hair books.

Q
