you know you need help...

when you get into a fight with your boyfriend b/c he wants to catch an attitude b/c all of your conversations are about this board, the ladies on this board, and hair.

when you make him apologize for saying the women on here dont know everything.

when you're at work logged on here and a co worker sneaks up from behind you and is trying to act like she wants to talk to you, when she dang near breaks her neck trying to see what you're doing. and you're moving your body in every direction trying to cover the screen. oh the embarassment.


when wash day is the hilite of your week.

hey im guilty of some of these! when i had a boyfriend, he would ask me on the phone "what r u doing?" and my main response would be "on the LHCF" and he would just sigh.
I also get on the LHCF at work. When a co-worker (or especially my supervisor) passes by my desk, I always use "Alt + Tab" to flip screens! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif
also, i've had times when I couldn't wait to wash my hair on the day I have planned to wash it. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

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.

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.

I do the same THING!!
1. Get super sad whenever I see one broken hair.
2. Constantly checking other girls hair to see what they need "fixed." i.e. a protein tratment, less wrapping, no heat...
3. willing to sacrifice my desired and most comfortable hairstyle (down of course) and bunning it up to protect my ends.

I have another screen in the back ground...when my boss comes around I just exit out of the internet...sometimes I'm not fast enough though...so I act like I'm not doing anything wrong and 'nonchalantly' close down the screen and continue with my real work(all in one move...like this is 'normal'....)If I get caught /images/graemlins/shocked.gif off guard too many times...I force(yes...FORCE) myself to logoff..take a deep breath /images/graemlins/crazy.gif and wait till I get home...then kick my son off the computer as soon as I get in the door. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Two words, well, keys actually; [Alt][Tab]. [Alt][Tab] will quickly move a background application into the foreground, at least in Windows it will. It's super fast and you won't lose your carefully crafted replies. But my work doesn't care if I surf the Internet. Actually, it's kind of part of the job. I just don't want my co-workers to know I'm trying to grow my hair out. I'm tired of all the advice from people with Kentucky Fried Hair.

Oh, and I know I'm obsessed because I have hand-in-hair disease even when my hair is braided. erplexed

When you are steady trying to have a conversation with your husband about hair and different types of hair such as 4a 3a 4b etc and he is looking at u like ..then.. and finally.. but yet, still you keep talking

 

[CinnaMocha]

....you are planning your weekend events carefully with friends (Lord knows I need to wash my hair!)

....try to make time on the job to do a quick afternoon check of new posts/threads.

....you find a way to incorporate healthy hair care into every conversation


....family members ask, "What new ideas have you learned from the hair board?"

I need to find another outlet, but this is all too interesting!

*you plan what products/techniques you'll use on your hair that day and write them down in a planner
*you check LHCF more than you check your e-mail
*you'd rather stay home and deep condition your hair than go out with friends
*your heart begins to flutter when you walk into a BSS
*you use LHCF acronyms and terms in regular conversation and people look at you like
*friends and family members ask you to get advice for them from LHCF
*you have more products on your bathroom counter than your stylist does on her counter at the salon
*you you keep a small spray bottle of moisture mix in your purse "just in case"
*you have the Jilbere de Paris shower comb in every color available
*you buy products in large quantities "just in case"
*you have your regimen written or typed for frequent reference
*your man knows what overprocessed hair looks like
*you have enough scarves and bonnets to wear a different one every night for a week or two
*you browse LHCF while deep conditioning your hair
*you find products that you forgot existed
*you have come up with a legal way to write your hair care
expenses off on your taxes

Those are off the top of my head...I'll come back with m

The first one is me at this very moment! I thought I was just being ghetto not obsessed.


Although I don't own one I've schooled my DH on lacefront wigs. Now he's out educating other folks (including his momma). When he sees someone with a jacked up wig he'll say "Why doesn't she just get a lace front wig?"

Girl I'm rockin the scarf + bonnet myself...and yes, I'll be sleeping on satin. Not an ounce of shame in my game.

Girl I'm tryin to picture your DH sayin that He doesn't look like the hair care awareness type. Very funny.

You know you're obsessed when you promote your album more than a rapper.

 

[PretteePlease]

You know you're obsessed when you promote your album more than a rapper.

ok hee hee i think i'm guilty of that one

+or you know you are obsessed when you do wardrobe hair and makeup for album updates

--you know your obsessed when family members talk about the hair heffas(thats what they call us they mean it with luv) like they are one of your bestest friends

 

[hottopic]

LMAO...LOL..This is funny...sad but true...You know you obsessed when you have more than 100 products for you hair and keep using the same 3 over and over again. And when it runs out you go out and buy the same 3, without opening your other 97 products.......lol.

 

[plainj]

I was staring at this woman's long hair as she was walking by--you know how a man looks at a woman's butt as she's passing by. I told her how pretty it was--the hair not the butt. She thought I was trying to hit on her. How embarrassing. :crazy:That's when I knew I was reading these hair forums too much.

[ftballwidow]

I am guilty of soo many of these

When you look at everybody's hair from babies to old ladies and try to figure out the type, the strength, the thickness/thinness, etc.

I look at hair all the time now. No matter where I am or what I'm watching on tv. My husband tries to watch a video and i'm like look at her hair. He asks me what is fake and what is natural (actually a positive thing, since viewing this site, I don't know alot of the time- unless its a bad wig or weave-- Black women can have long hair).

Another thing that I've discovered is that I love hair period. From bone straight to nappy. If it is well groomed - I love it.

 

[Temp101]

• U kno U obsessed with your hair when
• U imagine your hair the length you want
• you look at your hair everyday & inspect every piece
• when you talk to your mother about your hair everyday
• when your on this forum 24 hours a day
• when you look at your journal to see your own progress
• when you get mad that u didnt oil your scalp with wgo that day

 

[tastesosweet]

actually, I think I've found the cure for hair obsession--extensions! I am wearing twist extensions (and will be for the duration of the year) and I find I don't have much to say or do in regard to my hair because its secured .

It's so funny because I never considered that this was a weird thing. And, I will wake up in the middle of the night to INSURE that I am only resting my satin-scarfed head on my satin covered pillows and not my cotton ones!(I have 6 pillows on my bed, 4 in satin, 2 in cotton)
