You know you are a long hair when....

When you have a bunch of (edible) oils but have never used them for cooking!

Also- when you pull out your tape measure to find out how big your forehead is to reassure another member that theirs isn't too small. (Referring to another thread this forum- LHC people are the nicest forum members on the interwebs! :-D )

I can see this coming off as shallow to some, but I find it funny.

Realised that my hair is fina;;y log enough to be played with when I plan my hairstyle and hairtoys first, and then pick my clothes for the day to match the hairtoy!

...you take a shower and doesn't get wet?! Then you realize that your hair is covering your back to the extent that it blocks the water.

lol

When someone posts a picture on facebook with braiding instructions labelled 'fishtail braid' and says she can't do it properly, then you reply with a lengthy comment about how it's not a fishtail, it's a 4-strand, and how the instructions aren't very clear so no wonder she can't do it. Then you write your own instructions for how to do both braids accompanied with pictures of yourself wearing them.... and finally offer to go over to her house and show her in person

I saw that one too! Glad you straightened her out, I ran out of time.

I just saw a literally split-end (the forked kind), which freaked me out since I normally just get breakage and tapered splits. I was mentally agonizing over that single hair for a few minutes because I was at class and obviously didn't have my hair scissors, so I just plucked it out.

That probably belongs here, doesn't it? XD

When you & DH decide to go swimming and DH looks at you all pie-eyed and says, "What are you going to do with your hair??"

Sharysa, that totally belongs here! I think only a longhair or an aspiring long hair would deliberate for so long over what to do with a split end. Most people I know just ignore them, or cut them off with whatever's handy (I saw one friend cut a forked end off with nail clippers once, eek!)
I hate forked splits more than any other kind, they look so insidious. Makes me sound crazy, doesn't it? XD

You know you're a longhair when the only reason you take vitamins is for your hair. And it's probably a weird blend of biotin/kelp/evening primrose oil/MSM/b12...any or all of the above!
