[mscocoface]

When you go to 50-11 different stores in a panic because you have just heard on the hair board that a product is being........Dare I say it........

D I S C O N T I N U E D

and you have no shame in asking your LHCF sisters in other cities and other states, heck other countries, if they can try to find the product for you. (This causes sleepless nights, lack of concentration and pointless ramblings like a mad woman and you find nothing wrong with this behavior)

You have a hair journal that is over 300 pages long...maybe that is just me

Your fotki friends list has over 100 people in it and they are all in their because of their hair.

 

[Creatividual]

74. After buying new products (shampoos, conditioners, creams, etc.), you have to lay them out, look at them, and smell them repeatedly before storing them with the rest of your products.

I am soooo guilty of this!

 

[Nenah]

When you make hair related purchases in case they discontinue a product
When you by a product you thought you didn't have
When someone else raves about a product ya just gotta get it
When your shower starts looking like the Beauty Supply isles
When you start analyzing other people hair and what you could do for them if you only had 6 months with them

 

[naturalgurl]

IF...when your friends call and ask you what you're doing and you say "uhhhmmmm, I'm about to take a shower, I'll call you back" and they ask you "are you doing your hair????" And you say "Yep, this time I'm doing a ........"

You know you're hair obsessed also when your friends call and you start telling them about something you did to your hair and they say "oh girl, let me call you RIGHT back someone just knocked on my door."

I also feel the pic thing. I have sooooo many pics of my hair and head. If my camera was lost and someone looked at the pics they'd be like " this must have been so psycho with a hair fettish!"


*Edited to say...
When you start analyzing other people hair and what you could do for them if you only had 6 months with them
Nappyme, I am so guilty of this!!!!

20. You buy and have so many hair products you have to hid them from your SO/DH.

21. You often have dreams about reaching your hair goal.

too funny and so true!!!!! when i BC'ed in November and started actively working towards healthier, longer hair, i would have dreams where i was playing with my head full of long, thick and wavy (absolutely beautiful!) hair....and then i was sad when i woke up to find it wasn't there yet lachen

and nikkipoo, you are not lyin' about lhcf before homework!!!

75. when u go out to buy specific products and then see products u have heard raved about on lhcf and u buy them too...even though u really aren't sure what to use them for yet....

76. when u have ur dad drive u to the booney out-skirts of town just to go to a sally's in hopes that they will have what ur local sally's just ran out of.

77. when u get frustrated at people who tell you "it's only hair!"

78. when u make up scenarios and daydreams of being questioned by random women admiring ur one day, soon-to-be, long and fabulous hair and laugh to urself about the oh-so-shocked expressions they have. (this makes for awkward situations for me out in public when i giggle too loud at my daydreams....)

 

[LivingDoll]

• You go "window shopping" in the BSS...
• You hair type EVERYONE you come in contact with
• You think of asking women with nice hair if they're "Nikos Cousins"...
• You take more than 7 pills a day hoping for those extra inches
• You buy hair products before you pay bills
• You have a "hair product allowance" set aside each paycheck

 

[It~Can~Grow]

How about 'you know your hair obsessed WHEN'

...you keep logging onto the hair board looking for any subject line that says "new growth aid, OR conditioner, OR hair bonnet, OR comb" simply because you need a fix for something new to buy

 

[DivaD04]

117. You think up a reason to buy a product.
118. You dream of having 4a BSL flat ironed hair along side a beach.
119. You calculate how much p's are going to cost.
120. You feel guilty for not having room have to make room in the bathroom cabinets for your SO/hb's stuff.
121. You make files on you computer for growth p's, ingredients, recipes, and adding sites as your faves.
122. You spend all your time reading about hair care instead of CLEANING!
123. You ask if your hotel room will have a microwave for you hare care reggie.
124. You try to talk folks into going natural after years of NEVER having any hair.
125. You get livid after ordering a $70 bottle of co that mistakenly get's sent to your sisters house...
she decides to throw the bottle of co at a scorpian and "busts YOUR bottle",
and there's nothing you can do cuz ur 1000's of miles away!
126. You try to get your so/hb to clarify that dogg on scalp!
127. You can just about relate to this whole thread and say...Ooo, that is me.

 

[cheeks87]

50. You carry around a hair emergency kit with a towel, conditioner, bobby pins, octopus clip, a little shampoo and a shower comb all in the trunk of your car next to the spare.

How come my first thought was, ok THAT'S crazy. Then my immediate thought after that was, Maybe I should do that....

 

[SouthernTease]

# Whatever. If you've spent $10+ for one pack of rollers. ((coughs curlformers addiction))
# Whatever. If you've spent over $300 in one day on rollers. ((coughs curlformers addiction))
# Whatever. If you make tea not to drink, but for your hair
- If your hair care products are purchased from India/Indian Markets
- If you've become an amateur herbalist

 

[Cien]

how did I miss this thread?!! This is tooo funny!!

I am only on page 3--and I am ROLLING!!!! whooooo! so much of this is SO me!!

 

[Mortons]

You too?!! Girl, I've procrastinated on one too many papers messing around on this board. Then I'll be up late scrambling at the last minute trying to hurry up and get it done and STILL end up "checking" LHCF. I say, "I'm just gonna check the hair board real quick, real quick....Okay-okay, 5 more minutes and then I'm gonna totally focus."

This is me all day...No seriously all day

 

[cheeks87]

• when you're trying to show someone a funny pic you took on your cellphone and you have to scroll through like, 30 pics of your hair, all embarassed "i was just....trying to see....how long it is. "
• when you can't pass a mirror without not only checking to make sure your hair looks ok, but LENGTH CHECKING, as if your hair has somehow gotten longer since you checked 5 minutes ago (this is especially bad for me, cuz i have a full length mirror that is positioned--unintentionally-- so that I can look in it WHILE I'm sitting at the computer surfing LHCF *read a thread* *look over at my hair* *read a thread*)

 

[DivaD04]

- You have a hair care regimen.
- You call putting a plastic bag on your head "the baggy method".
- You call using saran wrap on your hair "the saran wrap method".
- You call using a scarf daily "the scarf-ing method".
- You would consider using/have used the Dominican conditioner "Whale Sperm".
- Your hair products are from foreign countries, not widely available in the US.

I was looking at this poo last night on roundbrush...I thought...whale sperm...and what are the benefits ...shh shh, don't tell nobody.

 

[DivaD04]

When you have to explain why you have cayenne pepper, coconut milk powder...food underneath the bathroom sink for you hair!

I thought..."Hey, while they are bs'ing that's not a bad idea." It's not though and sad to say, I'm going to make that kit to keep at work and one in my car...seriously. I'm going to modify it of course. I'll have something to make a bun with, etc. etc. I know...I'm sick!

 

[KrimsonKween]

When you measure your hair in the morning and in the evening and sometimes before you go to bed.
When you sit at your desk and massage your scalp all during the day.
When you you have hair pruducts at work in your drawer.
When you work out not for fitness but for your hair.
When you mark the ruler every time you measure to see if it grew from last time.
When your on the way to work still checking in the mirror that you have positioned only to see your hair.
When you get sad becuase of your hair.
When you have to go to the doctor (LCF) for your hair.
When you hang off the side of the bed every morning and before bedtime to let the blood flow to your scalp.
When you run the shower just to massage your scalp.
NEED I GO OB........................

[Mrs.Green]

This thread is hilarious . I couldn't find one thing that i didn't agree with.

#Whatever - When you stay at work not to work late but to finish reading pages 11-30 in a good thread.

#Whatever - When you feed the kids hotdogs and chips so you can have more time to get back to the forum.

#Whatever - You wonder if someone with long pretty healthy hair is a member of the Forum.

#Whatever - Repeat worth repeating - you look at peoples hair and diagnose what they need and what products to use. More moisture, protein, dusting, trim.

[Duchesse]

Y'all are some crazy heffas!!

#'s wateva

- You spend your textbook money on hair goods, then scramble to the library hoping they have your needed book.
- 85% of your nightly dreams are interspersed with something hair related
- You have random "psychic" visions of your hair at WSL
- You can't wait to have a daughter just so you can grow her hair long
- Your favorite thing to do, while making #2 is to read your bottles of conditioners
-You are currently burning your food on the stove while you are typing on a hair board gotta go!

 

[Christa438]

"You look at peoples hair and diagnose what they need and what products to use. More moisture, protein, dusting, trim."
"When you can't concentrate to the sermon at church because you're so busy checking out other women's hair ."
"when u make up scenarios and daydreams of being questioned by random women admiring ur one day, soon-to-be, long and fabulous hair and laugh to urself about the oh-so-shocked expressions they have."
"When you feed the kids hotdogs and chips so you can have more time to get back to the forum."

Im so guilty of these. And:

You write in your date book when someone else's update is.

If you up early in the morning cracking and mixing a couple of eggs and SO thinks you making him breakfast when it's just a protein recipe for your hair. He looks at you like you're the cruelest woman in the world when you laugh at his assumption but then he laughs... and laughs... and laughs.

You have a Hair binder and a hair journal in your room, and have hair files on the computer.

Your two year old snatches off her plastic cap so you improvise by letting conditioner sit in her hair for about 2 hours while she plays.

You get a little too happy from reading a story about a member who was doubted and revealed to her loved ones /haters all the long hair that grew down her back.

When you go to the store to buy household /hygiene products on your list but cross less important items out to afford the hair magazines you plan to leave with.

You bought most of the seasonings (sage, cayenne, sesame, rosemary...) that are stored in the kitchen cabinet for hair reasons instead of cooking.

 

[Platinum]

OMG, I'm enjoying this thread. You ladies are too funny! Here's mine:

#Whatever- You proudly stroll down the "female" aisle of a store looking for MN. Boldly stand there with atleast 3 different brands, comparing prices, ingredients, etc. Most women are like in that aisle.

#Whatever- You constantly daydream about developing your own hair recipes and how to improve your homemade products.

#Whatever- You hide your hair notes and recipes.

Hubby calls you "Mad Scientist" and offers to buy you a lab coat because he keeps seeing you mix your own hair growth recipes.

 

[ilovezag]

22. You always look at your hair in the mirror every five minutes and make sure it's still as long as it was the last time you looked.

 

[Blkprincess]

- your SO/DH starts helping you chart your progress
- SO/DH thinks you're hair obsessed, but loves when you wear it down or out
- no lie, my DH had a dream my hair was longer...at least I wasn't the only one...maybe if we both dream it, it will grow
- DH no longer complains about BSS spending sprees:master:...I no longer need to rationalize why I need so much conditioner/oils/products period...he understands....now

-you're always volunteering to do a friend's hair(for me, it's mom's hair) for her/offer advice/sharing tips you learn on the board

 

[nicey]

Some of these may have already been said....it's looong.

1. You get carpal tunnel using the mouse scrolling through LHCF forums and an arthritic finger clicking through fotki's...just about all night long.
2.You browse through LHCF before you wash or condition your hair just to see some regimine that would work for you.
3.You browse through LHCF before leaving out the door with your big hot winter coat on before going to the hair supply store to find some great product you can buy for yourself, but before you know it, you get so engrossed with the forums that time passes and it is too late to go anywhere.
4.You go to the hair supply store and wonder if anyone else knows about LHCF.
5.You to to the hair supply store and WISH people knew about LHCF!
6.You talk to yourself saying, "Whew wee, wish I had some hair like that, all the while pointing to the screen saying, mmm hmmm, YES, someday, oh yeah, someday!"
7.Your pet cat go just about bezerk because you forget to feed him due to you being on this forum too long.
8.Your pet cat jumps up in your computer seat and sniff the computer keys wondering what's so special in that seat and staring up at a screen taping at some white things on a desk everyday. (smart cat that cat!)
9.You eat at the computer spreading crumbs and such everywhere while looking through forums....oops did I say that?

LOL! I could go on and on....
