It's funny because it's true! Actually I think I am just obsessed with this board because I spend more time here than I do on my hair. I think I lost my damn mind this morning though when I walked into work twenty minutes late then made a bee line to the board and logged in. I have been sitting here for an hour and forty five minutes and I haven't even printed my reports yet!

 

[LondonDiva]

For all those that use it at work, don't you get in trouble by your managers or don't they care about that sort of thing?

 

[HoneyRockette]

I would get in trouble if I didn't dive in front of the screen anytime someone walked passed me. I also have another (work related) screen up so for the most part they probably think I am checking labs or entering notes (for four hours straight). /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Azalia]

Yes Jade trust me the dreams started long time ago /images/graemlins/sleeping.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif. My favorite is the day dreams of bra-strap length hair /images/graemlins/smile.gif. I must confess that when I start my day off I will log on to the computer and go straight to LHCF.
I almost left out the fact that you could'nt keep me out of the malls shopping for clothes and now everytime I get a piece of change it is spent on hair products. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif Today as I walked out my door for work I was chanting to myself I need to stop thinking about my hair so much because then it will grow faster /images/graemlins/nuts.gif.

I know it's sooooo bad! I am drunk with this stuff. I go to church to praise God honestly I do, but I just can't help but notice the church ladies hair... or those that are always looking at my hair. I see the looks, I know that some of them are jealous and grudgful. But I praise God for what the head of hair that He gave me and for the length of hair that He is going to bless me with! /images/graemlins/drunk.gif

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

O I can definately relate to this one! LOL! My husband is sick of measuring my hair for me. He thinks I am a fanatic...I have placed a permanent measuring tape in bathroom and told him not to remove it.

Yeah that's me... /images/graemlins/smile.gif

Actually, I leave most of mine out on one of my countertops for easy access - I've got a good little mess going too, but it's all mine. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Even if I'm running late for work, I never neglect my supplements. I've worked too hard to get my "routine" down /images/graemlins/brainy.gif so I'm stickin' to it!

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

**sigh**

Ok, London Diva

It's so shameful, though..

I stare at other peoples length and compare it to mine, I mean like trying to meausre .

I can't keep my hands out of my hair, ok last night I did a bun with the little criss cross rubber band ponies in the front (i hope you now the style) anyway it took a good 30min to do and today, I want to take it down cause I can't play in hair...

I really belive I need help. /images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[LondonDiva]

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

I put my hair in a bun last night and was supposed to take it down tomorrow. My fast self took it all down today combed thru and sprayed it and put it back. I'm so ashamed. I couldn't even stretch to 24 hours.

LOL! The husband! Yes this I can relate. He is so tired of measuring and trimming and massaging my scalp. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

* 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...

So True!

[*]You have dreams about brushing/combing your midback length hair, then wake up and feel sad because your hair just isn't that long ... yet.

[*]You mention hairboard members all the time to your family/friends, "Yeah, this is the same conditioner that LondonDiva/Allandra/Jade recommended..."

[*]You should be in bed because you have to get up at 4am, but you have to check just one more post!

 

[Supergirl]

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

Had to go to the ER today for abdominal pains...but took time to stop and bun my hair before I left. No make up, but YES--my protective style. Don't leave home without it!

 

[Miss Montserrat]

...people stare at you like you're crazy whe you talk about hair products.
...you're thinking about the beauty supply as the pastor is preaching.
...the main event of the day is going to the beauty supply.
...you have at least five new products that you havent used as yet.
...you're boyfriend shakes his head and walks away when he sees you on the web (b/c he already knows youre on LHCF).
...you have so many products that you never get a chance to use the same thing twice.
...you dont use your expensive gym membership b/c you dont want to get your freshly washed hair wet.
...you're significant other grabs your arm when you walk by the beauty supply.
...the people in the beauty supply know you by name and face.
...when PJs tell you that you have too many products!!!!(This is the absolute worst) /images/graemlins/shocked.gif /images/graemlins/shocked.gif /images/graemlins/shocked.gif

 

[LondonDiva]

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

Supergirl I hope you are alright girly. You better not be clutching that stomach and typing away at the same time.

Aside from the ER incident your post about the protective style had me laughing.

 

[Guest]

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

LOL @ Londondiva..

Say you don't happen to smell your hair products do you?? /images/graemlins/ohwell.gif

 

[LondonDiva]

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

All the time. In the store, at home. /images/graemlins/drunk.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif /images/graemlins/drunk.gif /images/graemlins/grin.gif I have people watching me in the shop cause I spend so long choosing a product.

That happens to me to. You know for me going to a beauty supply is like going to a book store, have the joy is in browsing, so I get annoyed when they are overly "Hi can I help ya????" every 2 seconds. LOL!!

That's why I tend to go to Sally's I don't have to worry about anyone trying to help me!! LOL! Lemme stop /images/graemlins/grin.gif

That is when you know you have a problem. When your boyfriend who, when he first met you, knew absolutely nothing about hair care knows almost as much as you do because you need to talk about it. My boyfriend didn't give a hoot about hair, but now he notices when women have damaged hair, what constitutes a good twistout, a good afro-puff, and if your rollerset is going to come out good.

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.

ngaa /images/graemlins/blush.gif

 

[katie]

-your boyfriend knows of your obsession and asks while u two are chatting on msn network "How's the board going?"(I then quickly deny being on the board in the first place)

- your boyfriend who is white now knows more about black hair care(relaxers,touch-ups etc) than the average white male..actually the average male period.

- you bother your hairdresser by constantly asking her questions to see if she is as well informed as this board

- you sometimes go over to the shelf with your hair products and just stare at them for a while

 

[sylviaetc]

you know you're obsessed with your hair when you think every woman that looks at you funny is hatin' on your hair

you know you're obsessed with your hair when a good day is when theres a good breeze blowing through your hair like in a pantene commercial

you know you're obsessed with your hair when you have to go on prozac because your sooo stressed over shedding

you know you're obsessed with your hair when a good conversationalist is someone who comments on how good your hair looks

you know you're obsessed with your hair when you keep a detailed diary of every single wash with hair samples included.
you know you're obsessed with your hair when you sell one of your school books to get some new products and class still has 2 wks to go.

last but not least: you know you're obsessed with yourr hair when you want to hand out buttons directing people with bad hair to this board...
"pssst... "GET ON BOARD:LHCF.COM" *L* just an idea *L*

 

[Tracy21]

It's bad when the owner of your local health food store offers you a job because you have so much product knowledge (and besides you spend at least an hour in the store every other day)

 

[Stormy]

oooh Pebbles! I thought I was the only one judging other women's hair during church service! Glad to know I'm not the only one!

Lawd I prayed for forgiveness. Also:

I can't walk past a mirror or window in the malls or department stores without checking my hair out.

I always make sure I strike up a conversation with my coworkers (female ones)about hair because I just looove to talk about it.

I wear new hair styles or let my hair down, walk past the very ladies (and men) who I KNOW will give me compliments just so I can get on my favorite topic...HAIR!

I don't even care if they compliment me or not because I KNOW when it looks good. I just wanna talk about hair.

I can't think of any others right now, but I know there are more. These are my worst so far. I know I need much prayer.
