How were you CURED of hand-in-hair disease?

[honeycomb719]

This is a big problem for me, exspecially after a relaxer. I just cant stop touching and pickin at my hair.
Not, only do I keep messing @ it, but I continue to add stuuf to it like( oil, moisturizer, etc..) I know once or twice a day should be enough, but I cant resist the urge.
I've been seriuosly thinking about getting some braids, but my hair DO NOT like braids at all, and it's getting a bit warm, so the wigs are about to be put up.

So ladies what do you suggest I do to recover from the hand-in-hair disease? I really would apprecate any response

 

[inthepink]

Wearing my hair up has helped me get rid of hih disease!

 

[tiffy]

I KEEP A SCARF ON IT WHEN I AM AT HOME

 

[Angelicus]

the vaseline challenge

 

[Karonica]

A weave cures it for me.

 

[brittanynic16]

Cure? There is a cure?

 

[ChasingBliss]

Buns, Buns and more buns.

 

[CurlyCrly]

Wearing my hair straight keeps me out of it more, but I haven't worn it straight in 3 months.

I do this too, but you must let it breath sometimes, right?

 

[Carlie]

hmmm...."letting it breathe"...that's usually my excuse for pulling my scarf off at home!

 

[lunalight7]

Can't help you Honey....I'm twirling right now!

 

[CheerBear]

I was cured once it all started coming out...then I moved on to protective styles..I so sed to it that if I try to wear my hair out, I get uncomfortablt I have to put it up

 

[jainygirl]

i get hand in napps disease REALLY bad as i get closer to my touchup...like now

i love the way they feel...i'm in need of so much help!!! because i go thru a mourning period after my touchup for like 3 weeks until i can feel my napps again which usually come in to a length where i notice them and can play in them around weeks 3-4....i got issues!!!! and yet i relax on....

 

[Isis]

Hmmm...I'd like to think the energy from my hands is stimulating the growth and health of my hair... I LIKE this disease!

 

[Ipanema]

Unfortunately, my hand-in-hair disease is terminal.

I have all these:
Coilytis (thanks Pookeylou)when its time for a re-touch. I just love the texture
Normal hand in hair disease - after re-touch
PLUS LOL checking the mirror disease - anytime

So unfortunatley you are asking the wrong 'addict'

 

[caralexis2005]

Ooh, Isis - I love your reasoning!
I'm with her on this one.
*Sending positive energy to my follicles right now*

 

[Leshia]

i CANNOT keep from twirling the hair in my nape around relaxer time. other than that, no hih disorder here...

 

[katie]

each time you reach to play with your hair,give yourself a scalp massage instead.Works for me!

GREAT idea, the only thing is, I will use that as an excuse to pick up the comb and start combing and parting away

.
This is crazy, I feel like a mother that badly wants her child to stop sucking his thumb, but dont have a clue how 2 stop it from happening.....

 

[Erica78]

I wish there was a cure! I was doing pretty good with leaving my hair alone...until my stylist used Deep brilliance in my hair...it left it silky...and my fingers couldn't help themselves.

I will go back to braiding it up and leaving the bonnet on around the house again.

 

[AceH]

Ever since I started my hair routine based off of principles learned on LHCF, I just left my hair alone... Don't know why. I'm also not in the mirror NEARLY as much as I used to be. I guess something inside me said "my hair is growing, so don't worry about it."

 

[Nyambura]

Buns help a lot, plus adding moisturizing goop on my hair b/c I don't want it all over my hand.

 

[AllAboutTheHair]

cornrows (my favorite "low manipulation style")

 

[aikaa71]

I have the checking in the mirror disease. No wonder i get late for work, checking that every hair is in place in my bun, especially making sure the edges are smoothed down. My buns have to be perfect

 

[sengschick]

I don't know either, but I'm thrilled that I'm not alone! Some days I "moisturize" 3 times and change "styles" once I'm home at least 3 times. I even style and moisturize before I hit the pillow.

I don't get to my office until 10A

! Thank god I'm in charge!
