You might be hair obsessed if...

[Uniqzoe]

Many of us are hair obsessed and know it but there may be some of you that are still in denial, if that's the case just take a look at this list and other comments that are sure to be added to see if you fit the bill.


So you know you’re hair obsessed when:

1) You are a member of several hair boards and e-know all the “regulars”

2) 6 of 10 out of your list of favorite celebrities include You Tube gurus that no one has ever heard of other than other hair obsessed people (and the real celebs are there mostly for hair related reasons and not their actual craft)

3) You want to pull on coworkers, friends and family members’ hair to do an official length check on them.

4) You’ve spent money or plan to spend $ on hair related clothing, i.e. length check tee shirt.

5) You make friends with random people because of your mutual obsession with hair (not hard to do in atl)

6) You have 50-11 different types and brands of conditioners and a very good explanation for why you NEED each and every one of them to keep your hair healthy and looking its best

These were added by my coworker (and lurker) who is also hair obsessed.

7) You have scraps of paper/post it notes/extensive lists of future products you are going to try out as SOON as your budget allows

8) You're not embarassed when you get caught staring at someone's beautiful head of hair because it gives you an opportunity to compliment them.


Please feel free to add to this list because by no means is it exhaustive.

im hair obsessed. You know your obsessed when you hear you have a vacation coming up and immediately make hair plans.
I did that recently. Im in college and this week is some jewish holiday. so i have 5 days off from school. I didnt know that but as soon as my friend told me she started making plans for the movies, but i was like "wooord, shooot, im feelin to dc like everyday with my heat cap" lol

 

[TeeMBL]

Yep what Royal said...I have a homecoming/tailgating event next week. I have spent the last several determining to relax or not.

I think you're obsessed when you notice everyone else's hair and sometimes wish you could give them a good DC. Or you're examining every piece of hair you find. I did that in the car with my mom, she didn't know what was going on. I just picked up this small piece of hair and commented "I need a protein treatment this week" (kinda weird from the outside looking in).

PS. I'm not relaxing yet, I'm only 8 weeks so I'm braiding the top left side of my hair (to hide the NG that is surely to be exposed in the FL heat) and flatironing the rest.

On The Job:

• Perusing hair forums when you're supposed to be working
• Coworkers are asking you for hair advice and you solve their problems instead of working
• Your iPhone plays hair videos far more than being used for its other features
• When you misplaced your iPhone, everyone knows it's your phone because of hair videos that are constantly playing

 

[**SaSSy**]

You convince your friends, family, co-workers who relaxed to go natural, and they do, then they look to you for advice and product suggestion and you feel so proud!

Your friends know your actual hair looks better than your wig, but you keep wearing it anyway because you need 2 more inches by December.

You are the human google when it comes to hair questions.

You plan events around your hair.

when you want a dog named Aloe

when I say BANANA and you think CONDITIONER

when you wish you could moisturize everyone in the bus

when you shiver and your eyes pop if I pronounce the word "oil"

when you want to protect your hair from your hair itself

when you have thought about sleeping upside down like Batman in order to preserve the style

when you have a sequence of 567 stages on shampoo days and you are thinking of phase number 568

[Girl626]

When you're SERIOUSLY considering planning a Hair-party for others sharing your obsession
When you create a regimen for all inquiring minds/heads.
When your fridge contains food AND a small section reserved for natural hair concoctions- flax seed gel, homemade avocado condish
When you create vision boards and include hair goals! Lol

Yep, that's how I roll!

8) You're not embarassed when you get caught staring at someone's beautiful head of hair because it gives you an opportunity to compliment them.

This. That sounds really hair obsessed.

- When you wish everyone could be as moisturized as you
- When you do a length check EVERY single day (oh gosh, I wish I could stop!)

If I could stop doing this maybe I wouldn't feel like my hair wasn't growing. erplexed

My first post EVER!
When you consider not going on a business trip because you are afraid you might not be able to co wash twice a week while away.
When you call your mom FRANTIC about how to transport all your hair supplies on your transatlantic flight.
When DH stares and blinks in disbelief as you label all of the airline approved travel containers: leave-in, aloe, dc, oil mix, protein, moisture, co-wash, pre-poo and acv.
When you get your first blow out in a year and the Dominican stylist comments how strong your hair is and you immediately start to mentally rearrange your reggie for fear of protein overload.

Queenmickie, Congrats on your first post!!!

The hair addict in you couldn't go one more day without posting huh?

 

[melissa-bee]

When you look for a white bulb at the end of your shed hair strand to see if it's broken or shed.
When you do a strand test everyday on your shed hairs.
When you find some stranger's shed hair on you and you do a strand test to see how strong the strand is compared to yours.

 

[Drtondalia]

I'M SO GUILTY!!! LOL

I'm hair obsessed. It's the first thing I look at on people.

 

[Seamonster]

When you volunteer at the food bank, and take all the expired baby banana food home to use for the carmel treatment.

When you use 5 different dandruff shampoos even tho you do not have dandruff, because it might increase growth.

When you date your shed hairs.

When the UPS man asks 'how is your father doing?' :reddancer:

You are hair obsessed when LHCF is your homepage.

 

[MissDarcei]

You know you're hair obsessed when:

You spend hours everyday looking at hair videos most of which you have already seen
You have your own youtube channel where 90% of the videos are about hair
You get into arguments about hair
When you say you just did a protein treatment and exclaim that your hair feels great, meanwhile your mom is like o.o *smiles and nods*
You are giving hair advice to your friends even when they dont ask for it
