you know you've gone too far for hair care when...

[Ms_Delikate]

- You tape a copy of your regiment in every room in the house so you don't forget.
- When you start looking at everyone's hair and wondering if they are "nikos cousin"
- When you write down what times you need to log on to LHCF in your planner so you dont' miss anything.
- When you eat your lunch at your desk so you can be on LHCF
- When you start putting "Monistat" in your hair

^^^ I do that...and I almost cussed a coworker out when they suggested that I ate in the breakroom

-when you think of printing LHCF cards to give to people on the street who need the info

-when you and your SO have an argument b/c you are spending too much time on that dang computer ...and you try to make him feel bad by accusing him of being jealous of a computer

 

[Zawaj]

"-You put in an application at the Aveda store for a part time job, just to get the discount."

Ooh I have strongly consider this!

I did this exact same thing yesterday!

 

[candy1214]

when you take off work early to do a henna treatment.

 

[caribeandiva]

-when you wipe down all your shampoo and conditioner bottles cause you hate to see "your babies" dirty.

-you talk to and caress your conditioner bottle after someone insulted it. "There there sweetie, it's ok..."

-The salespeople at the BSS ask you what do the different products do and when to use them. This happened to me earlier today.

 

[JerriBlank]

-when you make your dh sleep on satin pillowcases too,just in case you wander over to his side of the bed throughout the night and end up sleeping on his pillowcase(he hates them and says his head slips off them)

-when you find yourself straing at strangers' hair and wondering what their regimen is
-when you are itching to ask your close friend if she is Niko's cousin,but you are really selfish and will be pouting if she's not and finds out about LHCF before you can prove that REALLY HAVE been learning things from this site

That's me every single day at work. They think I'm antisocial, but it's really LHCF that has got my attention.

-When you get hot and heavy with your SO and reach for the silk/satin scarf from off of your nightstand to wrap your head up without killing the mood .... and did I just admit to that? [/quote]



-or when you are about to get hot and heavy and find yourself thinking about how this will affect your hair and eventually ending up spreading a satin scarf on the pillow or the bed to protect the strands (WTH?). Immediately after, the satin cap goes on, and you check to see if the scarf stayed on the pillow through it all...I think I need help.

Gosh! I can cop to doing all these but heres a few more

1. printing up the LHCF threads in the morning at work so I can read them during the day if I can't get to the computer!

2. Talking to people and telling them not to use the products that their using.

3. Wondering why everyone is not obsessed with this site like u are.

4. Having so many conditioners that u have a panic attack because u don't know which one to use that day

5. Telling yourself over and over that u will not purchase another item until your done with the 15 that you already have.

6. Explaining to people that you have a website dedicated to your hair progress called Fotki

7. Planning your day around your haircare routine.

I'm sure I could come up with more:however,I am under the dryer as we speak and its time to finish up this 4 hour routine of washing,conditioning,protein tx,DC,wrapping,and Bantu knots to finish it off!

Gone to far... not possible.

 

[Nita81]

When you walk down the hair aisle armed with your pda set on the LHCF page ...ready to verify the products you need!!!!!

 

[AwesomelyNappy]

you know you've gone too far when,

in half of the hair products you own... you put sulfur in it...

in the rest of your products, you put MN in it....


just in case....

 

[keeperathome]

Ok so like 90% of what everyone has said is MEEEEEEEEEEEEE but here's a few more.....
when you spend half the night into the wee hours of the morning researching formulas on how to make your own moisturizers,lotions,conditioners,and shampoos (water,oil,emulsifying wax,citric acid,Vit.E,rosemary extract,etc.etc.etc)

When you shop the produce aisle for your hair care products..One very ripe avocado...Two bananas...bunch of rosemary herbs...blah blah blah blah blah

When your house is a mess, you need to put the load of laundry in the wash, and you need to get those dishes started in the dish washer but.....just 10 mo minutes on the computer this thread is interesting lol Oh and ya been on LHCF for the past 3 hours as it is.

When the first thing you do when you wake up is log onto your computer and see what's on LHCF interesting.

Ya sick in bed with the flu or anything else but yet you have just enough energy to pull out the laptop and search threads... Hey you're still in bed resting no need to look at the 4 walls all day lol.

I could go on and on and on and on as you can see I am on this site still and its past 1 am

BUMP!!this thread is funny!(but so true)

 

[the_UnPrettiest_pretty]

guilty!

but this is only because there are soo many females on my campus that are cocky about their hair length (which by LHCF standards wouldn't even be considered long hair) and i just would looove to shut up them up.. i know immature, but oh welll

-when you have ever prayed for hair growth
- your electric bill is overdue, there is no gas in the tank and you can't remember the last time you bought groceries, but you MADE SURE to pick up your staples at the bss.
-you log on to lhcf on the hour every hour
-you use acronyms such as BSL, BSS, BT in your everday vocab to non-lhcf-er's without second thought

Gurl,I really feel you on this one (bolded part). Too many females on my campus swear up and down they have the best hair around and on the planet, and half of 'em always wearin' weaves!! So, I'm on a quest to set 'em straight and let 'em know I don't have to wear a weave. I gotts that real stuff! But seriously, I need to get out of this thread before I be done told on myself. I'm guilty of too many things people in here have already mentioned, plus a few more that I shall keep to myself

 

[the_UnPrettiest_pretty]

...instead of "paying attention" in church, you count the broken hairs on the back of the woman whose sitting in front of you. You think to yourself, "Wow, she needs to do a serious DC and protect those ends better."

OMG, why did I do this to my nurse practitioner while getting my annual physical?! Here I am sitting there on the table getting my breasts examined and I found myself all up in that woman's head examining every strand and all her split ends, thinking to myself "damn lady, you sure could use a good deep conditioning treatment and a trim" I seriously contemplated on giving her the website address for LHCF, but I didn't want to make her mad or anything like that

 

[ShiShiPooPoo]

How about when you put coochie cream on your scalp?

 

[ChoxlatChix]

-You keep a list in your purse of hair products to pick up that youve thoroughly researched on LHCF. (Its updated often.)

-You print out a definition list of ingredients then take a big black magic marker to label your products: 'PROTIEN' 'MOISTURE' 'DEEP CONDITIONER' 'LIGHT PROTIEN' 'FOR CO-WASHES'

-You try to find your split ends while using the toilet.

-You contemplate sitting your mother down for a 'serious' talk about the way shes caring for her natural hair.

-You put in an application at the Aveda store for a part time job, just to get the discount.

-If you come home late, you dont take ya clothes off, ya makeup, ya earrings, ya SHOES...... but dangit you WILL TIE UP YA HAIR!!!

I am so guilty of the first two I am so ashamed

 

[caribeandiva]

just in case....

I've thought about doing that but i know how drying those things can be and i didn't wanna risk it.

YOU WON'T WORK OUT BECAUSE YOU DONT WANT TO SWEAT OUT YOUR HAIR... TERRIBLE

 

[DivaRox]

1. When all you do is daydream about how long your hair is eventually gonna be.

2. You count the months from now until Christmas and say in your head....6 months times 1/2 = 3 inches........minus a 1/2 inch for a trim!

3. You measure the 2 1/2 inches that you will be recieving for Christmas with a ruler from your current length.

4. You always try to get someone to talk about hair with you but they are never as interested as you.

5. When someone ask you for advice on a "No No" product you say "No girl, that has mineral oil, propylene glycol, and cones.... are you crazy!!"

6. You neglected to pick up groceries, you forgot to call your mom back but you been on LHCF for the last 5 hours.

7. You read the labels on your products over and over again as if you don't already know the ingredients (They are especially fun to read while taking a #2....I know TMI)

8. When you are broke you go to the BSS to window shop, read labels, and put together a list of what you will be getting when you get paid.

Guity, Guilty and yet more GUILTY!! And now, I don't feel so bad since I have company
