You know you're an LHC-er if...

[ilovelonghair]

I tried to link something and it doesn't work.

Maybe delete this thread. Or turn it into something else, although we have a thread with this name.

[ilovelonghair]

deleted, didn't make sense anymore!

[redmj]

When you notice someone's new "do" and think "Man, does she realize how much she damaged her hair to create it.

[teal]

Resurrection! :taz:

.... when you watch a commercial for hair product and cringe at the condition of the model's hair...

[Night_Kitten]

When you accidentally hit your head hard against a shelf resulting in a bruise, and the first thing you think is "well, maybe it will increase sirculation and I'll have more growth"... :o

[MissAlyssa]

When you spend most of your time in math class trying to check out the condition of a girl's hip length across the room...

[isabelx]

When during a whole half an hour bus journey you find yourself analysing everyones hair that gets on the bus :D 'I love her natural wave but it seems as though she could do with half an inch off...'

[redmj]

Oh its so nice to know I'm not the only one. I catch myself analysing other people and their hair, in the middle of church too. That's why I sit in the front. ;-D

[YepLilly]

When you look at random people and say to yourself, over here I think we have a 2a/2b, but over there, that's definitely a 3b! :p

[KwaveT]

A couple of our cashiers at work have at least midback length hair or longer. I am always looking to catch them with their hair down. The first one doesn't do it very often. She just about always buns her hair. She's a light blonde. The other almost always either ponytails or wears her hair down. She has medium brown hair. I use to never pay this much attention to hair. I can blame this forum for that.:D


When you accidentally hit your head hard against a shelf resulting in a bruise, and the first thing you think is "well, maybe it will increase sirculation and I'll have more growth"... :o

That could work the other way too. The said bump may potentially damage your follicles especially if you do it against a semi-sharp suface.;) I know I am hair obsessed now.

[MaryRose]

I catch myself checking out lengths, whether they are BSL or APL or waist ect...:P

[Sama]

You know you're an LHC-er if... Your hair gets caught in the freezer?? Haha, this happened to me today, and I instantly thought of this list. :p

What ~really~ happened is...I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when my husband dropped by for a kiss. He lost his balance, opened the freezer door when trying to use it to catch himself, and trapped some of my locks in the freezer when the door closed. :blushing: I swear, we are not newlyweds! LOL

[Chetanlaiho]

When you have someone in class next to you trying to create a dread with her fingers and flinching every time you hear the hair 'protesting' ^^;

[Unzadi]

When you watch a detective drama on tv, and know that the prime suspect is 100% innocent right off the bat b/c the murder weapon is a hair toy and the suspect's hair isn't long enough to use that toy.

Oh what show was that????? I love detective dramas. NCIS just happens to be my favorite and, OH LOOK, it's Tuesday :cheese:!!!!!

[JellyBene]

When you FREAK OUT when your boyfriend tries to romantically run his fingers through your hair and a couple fall out.
Oh and when you overhear the girl behind you in English class talk about how she is going to dye her hair black tonight and you quickly warn her about PPD and offer to henndigo her hair for free if she will buy the ingredients and you then realize the whole class has gone silent and everyone is looking at you like you are an alien.

[Unzadi]

Oh what show was that????? I love detective dramas. NCIS just happens to be my favorite and, OH LOOK, it's Tuesday :cheese:!!!!!

The show in question was a Monk rerun, so detective comedy-drama in this case, but the murder weapon was a hairtoy, and the suspect's hair wasn't long enough to use it, but another character's was, and yep, that was the killer.

I love detective dramas, too, and this should be a good year for NCIS. To stay on topic, Abby has some fun hair toys.

[Eternal.Fiend]

When your new idea of a hair compliment is going up to that blonde 1a with hip length hair and telling her "You have the bluntest hemline I've ever seen!"

But no, I didn't, because I had never seen her before in my life and it would have involved interuppting her conversation XD

[redmj]

When you can't complete a business transaction without thinking "I wonder what she does to her hair to get it to look that bad?"

[Anje]

Of course, it's also possible that one would cut their hair post-murder. To throw off the police and all, since they are SOOOOooo aware of such things. :eyebrows:

You know you're an LHCer when you wonder if anyone thinks it's weird that you're buying 5 bottles of conditioner and no shampoo.

[Unzadi]

Of course, it's also possible that one would cut their hair post-murder. To throw off the police and all, since they are SOOOOooo aware of such things. :eyebrows:


Very true, but in this case the suspect's hair legnth was consistent. Although if there were a long-haired detective on the case, they'd be the one to spot it.


You know you're an LHC-er if you buy five bottles of conditioner and ask "why?" when the friend who is with you suggests you get five bottles of shampoo as well.

[piratejenny]

You know you're an LHC-er if you make a slight change to your routine and itch all day to get online and discuss the results.

[Intransigentia]

...if your waitress at an Asian restaurant is wearing a bun held with a single, decorated chopstick, and you stare until you can identify what kind of bun it is.

[Noreth]

...when you've been convinced that there is actually more than one shade of black. There's blue-black, purple-black, lighter black, real black, really-dark-red black... :D

[AnqeIicDemise]

You know you're an LHCr when a friend shows you a poorly dressed fail meme of a classic length beauty with a long shaved stripe right down the middle with the caption "instant pony tials" and instead of laughing, you bust out crying.

[blondie9912]

...when you use more oils in your hair than in your cooking :p

[amyhenna]

When short to medium length haired people tell you that they "had to go to the salon to trim their ends," and you nod as if what they are saying makes any sense at all- just to be polite-, and struggle to keep the "What the hell is wrong with you???" look off your face so as not to hurt the speaker's feelings.

[thelittlestdoc]

...when you think you should do an individual study on the psychology of women and beauty (specifically focusing on hair) for your Psych major :cheese:

[xoxophelia]

When you stop being judgemental of other people's hair and instead accept their hair choices.

[Purdy Bear]

You hair type your pets.

You watch a movie and when its finished you dont remember the plot but you do recall all the hair dos and lengths.

[Of the Fae]

When you cringe every single time you see a bleach blonde, styled, fried person, and it haunts you for half an hour...

[maria_tasha]

...when you've been convinced that there is actually more than one shade of black. There's blue-black, purple-black, lighter black, real black, really-dark-red black... :D

Totally agree! I have black chocolate hair and used to dye it raven black. Only I knew the difference.

[Unzadi]

Totally agree! I have black chocolate hair and used to dye it raven black. Only I knew the difference.

Agreeing also. I play the Sims2 and some makers of custom content will have four different shades of black (or red, brown, blonde) for hair, and yes, I do have to have them all because they are all different colors.

[redmj]

When you get frusterated with your friends when you start talking hair and they don't get it, then you think well spidermom, ultrabella (or insert other LHC name) would have understood it.

[ilovelonghair]

Or:

You imediately recognize the hair to be a wig, the shine is not right etc. Or that it has been photoshopped (no signs of shorter hairs, tapering)


when you're still wondering after more than a dacade how that person with knee lenght hair who bleached her hair could make it look so healthy! How did she do that????

When you spend months, or even years on deciding on a new hair color!

[sun-kissed]

You know you're a LHC-er when you take every chance you get to drive downtown just to look for longhairs on the streets.

...and when you force your best friend to lock her straightener in her bethroom cabinet before you agree to spend the night.

... and when you spend most of your time in math class checking out the longhair sitting in front of you, trying to figure out if she has extensions or not.

[Noreth]

when you've just told your friend you have really big news, and can't figure out why she's not excited that you found a place near you that delivers (free delivery;)) Yemeni henna for an amazing cost!

[sisi33]

When you get frusterated with your friends when you start talking hair and they don't get it, then you think well spidermom, ultrabella (or insert other LHC name) would have understood it.
Aaaand you keep on talking, in hopes that they will understand/learn something new!
When you get annoyed if a character in a TV show doesn't put her hair up when she's going on "raids".
You cringe when you see how people wash hair on Jerseylicious, but keep watching because it's sorta funny.
You constantly are aware of other peoples' hair, and often feel like saying that you like it, but don't want to be creepy.
You get excited when your hair classification changes.
You start knitting specifically because winter is coming up, and you don't have any hats that will fit on your head with all of your hair piled up in it.
You get confused on how long someones' hair is when you're reading a book and they describe that someone has "long hair"- Real World long hair, or LHC long hair??? :confused:
You spend way too long on YT looking at updo's.
Then you get SUPER excited when torrinpaige posts a new video, but you then get slightly depressed, because her hair's so much longer than yours- then you get hair envy! :D
You shop for hair toys, even though your hair isn't really "that long".
When you try an SMT on your horse's mane and it works!
You then immediately think of trying it on your Weenie Dog- but realize that he won't stay still for that.
You then go and put coconut oil on your Chihuahua, because she let's you put that on her.

[MrsGuther]

Resurrection! :taz:

.... when you watch a commercial for hair product and cringe at the condition of the model's hair...
I totally cringe every time I see a commercial for a "split end mender" conditioner and the like... It's so annoying when the model has seriously heat styling damaged hair, and they are trying to claim that their product has somehow fixed the problem. Sheesh! The advertising people buy into blows my mind...

[MrsGuther]

When you get frusterated with your friends when you start talking hair and they don't get it, then you think well spidermom, ultrabella (or insert other LHC name) would have understood it.

Agreed! I wish I had some LHC-ers where I live so I could chat about hair growth and the like!

[Lady McHuerta]

Every time you watch a movie you cringe at the condition of the main actresses hair. Don't they know HD highlights every flaw! And shouldn't they be taking better care of their hair anyway?

[akuamoonmaui]

Your housework gets neglected because you're following threads...

[MrsGuther]

You know you're an LHC-er when you mention you're growing your hair out, and the response you get is:
"Are you planning on growing your hair to your knees or something? Your hair is already really long!" and you say: "Yeah, I'm working on it."

LOL ^^^ This happened to me yesterday at Taco Bell when I was talking with my husband and a couple of his coworkers.

[MrsGuther]

You know you're a LHC-er when you take every chance you get to drive downtown just to look for longhairs on the streets.

LOL I always scope out other longhairs when I'm out in town.
Hahahah I like that ^^^ about getting your best friend to lock her straightener up before you agree to spend the night! That's hilarious! And I used to do the same thing (trying to figure out if some of the girls with long hair had extensions) when I was in college!

[xoxophelia]

Every time you watch a movie you cringe at the condition of the main actresses hair. Don't they know HD highlights every flaw! And shouldn't they be taking better care of their hair anyway?

There are a lot of comments like this so I am not trying to just pick on your comment. But, I would hope that being an LHCer is not synonymous with being better-than-thou about hair.

[JellyBene]

When you slow down to 20 mph in a 55 zone to check out the gorgeous hip length blonde hair of a jogger by the road :P that was actually the deciding moment for me when I knew without a doubt that I will be going to college for hairstyling

[pumpkinpie]

when you find your self constantly trying to find more beautiful and complex updos to show off your lengthy hair i know i always am!!! and my bf doesnt know why but he loves it!!! lol

[ilovelonghair]

When someone in a group of friends has a bit of hair weaving sticking out and you want to fix it. I didn't dare to tell it was sticking out, but I should have, it was easy to fix with a bobby pin.

[Intransigentia]

I would hope that being an LHCer is not synonymous with being better-than-thou about hair.

Point well made!

[JellyBene]

You know you are a LHC-er if you will only buy all natural chapstick for fear of your hair blowing onto your lips

[Foxy_Booker]

In lecture when you're supposed to be listening but instead your looking at people's hair in front of you, particularly the damaged heads and pretending I have their hair and think of all the things I would start doing to save their hair if it were mine. It keeps me motivated. Then I get stuck on a beautiful head of hair and grow green with envy :D

[proo]

You know what a micronesian spiral bun is.

[Tapioca]

You wince whenever you hear someone pronounce it joe-joe-ba.

I am so guilty there. I called it that the first time. Now I have people teasing me when I say it right.

[Ligeia_13]

Someone on a different forum mentions using Monistat and then proceeds to list side effects..and then you remember its not actually meat for the head :D

[Modarunner]

When you want to tell every person you see what they are doing wrong in their haircare. When you see someone violently brushing their hair and all you want to do is slap that brush out of their hands and offer to comb it for them.

[Hairitic]

When you buy two bottles of the same oil; one to keep in the kitchen and one to keep in the bathroom!

[Intransigentia]

When nobody realizes that you mean to be dressed up as Princess Leia, because double buns aren't that uncommon for you to wear.

[Rosethorn]

When your husband doesn't even comment on the pan full of herbs and water you're boiling for a hair rinse or when one of your main focuses while watching a period movie is "how did she do that updo?" and then obsessively trying to figure it out and checking youtube to see if anyone else has (yay Torrin!).

[moxamoll]

You know what a micronesian spiral bun is.
:uhh: Oh no! I don't know what that is and I can't find a tutorial. Help!:cry:
:doh:

[Amber_Maiden]

When you get really jealous of the girl walking in front of you because she has long healthy hair, and then you wonder if you actually might be friends with her on LHC, and then you feel guilty... lol

[pepperminttea]

:doh:

I think they mean a spiral braid (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/showthread.php?t=66974)? :)

[nellreno]

When the moment Torrin puts up a new hair tutorial you have to spend an hour or two trying to perfect it.

[KateMcC]

...when you get into a car you first make sure your hair is safely out of the way BEFORE you put on your seat belt.

... you choose your jewelry/top/purse based on if you are wearing your hair up or down so it won't get caught or tangled.

... your SO no longer thinks it's strange that you keep more oil/honey/etc in your bathroom than you do in your kitchen.

... instead of bringing you roses for a special occasion, your hubby gives you a new ficcare or flexi-8.

and ditto to those who mentioned watching movies and youtube to figure out new updos.

[Curly Hermione]

You think nothing of using the £20 your grandmother gave you to buy hair stuff at Boots, even though you are a penniless student who can't find a job. (it was so completely worth it, i love my new stuff!)

You spend a day at college counting all the people wearing buns you see (45) just to prove to your mum that young people do wear buns!

You spent an entire saturday making hair potions, and didn't think it was a waste of time.

[sisi33]

Your wash day hair isn't that oily, when before you would freak out on the 2nd day after S&C'ing :brains:

[Mannaz]

...when you spend a loooong time wondering which styles would keep your hair safe when fooling around with DBF. As least I'm not thinking that while fooling around... :D

[Purdy Bear]

If there was an exam in LHC stuff you would pass with the top mark and honours.

You have more hair toys then shoes and handbags, or in the case of men tools and toy cars.

You dont allow anyone borrow your favourite wide toothed comb.

You have a hair recipe book that others think is a spell book.

For those of us with bald issues, you are tempted to grow the hair you have just to see how long it would take to get to your ultimate goal, even ifs only half a head of hair. You also have more hair toys then your haired friends even though you can only use them on your styling head.

You can sit for hours just going through your hair toy box, and sighing.

You know the going best price for every hair toy, shampoo, conditioner etc.

You know which cupboards and electrical equipment to be careful of when your hair is loose.

When you go to see a hairdresser for a trim or treatment you interrigate them for hours before even making the appointment but then cancel it and do it yourself with better results.

Your You Tube favourites is full of every hair tutorial channel in existence.

When your feeling a little low you head for LHC and know your feel better very quickly.

[teal]

I was watching the movie Elizabeth last night for the first time and doing this so obsessively that I actually missed out on some of the key plot points! :o


Your wash day hair isn't that oily, when before you would freak out on the 2nd day after S&C'ing :brains:

Heheh, stretching washes is probably the best advice of everything I've picked up on this site, and that's saying a lot!

[nellreno]

When you're cleaning you go around collecting all your hairtoys and elastics and combs etc scattered around your house even though you have a drawer in your bathroom specifically for holding these.

[hisprincess]

...You dream about having two inches cut, wake up, grab your hair and sigh, "Thank God!"

...You keep one pair of hair scissors at home, one at work, and one at your BF's house, because if you see a split end you cannot wait to snip it when you get home-- you might never find it again.

[holothuroidea]

also when you think hair that is "greasy" but healthy is much better looking than hair that is "normal" and damaged.

[KwaveT]

you do nothing but think about my hair at times since I joined. I touch my hair more in a day now than I would use to in five years. I am constantly shifting my bangs out of my eyes. I am constantly just running my hands through my hair especially the sides and back of my head just to see how it feels. I like the feel of my hair on the skin for some reason when it used to bug me as I was first growing it. I have got where I am worse than most women even are with touching my hair. It has turned into an obsession. I have an obsessive personality so the two go hand and hand.

[Tigermama]

You are at the mall and see someone with long beautiful hair and think... "Did we ever come up with that secret hand shake?"

You go to the doctor for a routine checkup, realize she is an LHC-er and spend 10 minutes of your appointment talking about hair!

When you get annoyed at people who say 'my hair just doesn't grow I hate it' when it's poker straight from straightening (you know because you can see the masses of splits from a mile off) and it's dyed ridiculously bright red.

Also when you get annoyed at TV commercials advertising products which claim to mend split ends.

You feel sooo guilty about blowdrying your hair for once in forever just so you get to a play on time that you nearly go there with soaking wet hair.

You suddenly think your hairdresser might be crazy because she tells you curly hair cannot be grown long and look good (you cry, then go home, measure your ponytail, realize it is well into the iii catagory, look at all the beatiful longgg curls on LHC and suddenly become very happy) oh, and you consider if you can cut your layered curls yourself...

:D:D And when you choose a sit at the middle-to-back of the class so that you can look at everyone's hair, and admire length/colour/texture/hairstyles in some of them.

Yes, our Nuclear Physics teacher is veeery boring :rolleyes:. He just doesn't teach, he reads the slides in his Power Point :mad:.

[SwordWomanRiona]

You get the whole salon laughing where you're getting a sparkly roots touchup only, remarking to your short haired stylist: "You say "Hag", like "Hags" a bad thing. " when she measures your wet hair and tells you that you are well into BCL length,meant to scare or disgust you? And you start cheering,thinking you were still only TBL. When she shows you 6 or 8 inchs she could cut off for you, and you accidentally snort.
BCL! Official! Woo hoo!

You have a nightmare about cutting your hair off and wake up in a panic... >.>

[natnatsmama]

When you ask another long haired random person if they shampoo their hair everyday or you see someone with a bun and try to guess how long their hair is.

[Dragon Faery]

When this forum is your bedtime reading.

(You know you're still new to LHC) when you try ten new treatments at once because you simply can't wait the recommended two weeks of testing for each to see which ones actually work and which ones don't.

(You kow you've been around awhile) when you've learned to see the beauty in all types of hair, and when you're finally learning that impatience won't help your hair grow any faster ... but that eventually, it will get there.

You have a goal length for your hair.

When, in your quest for healthier hair, you realize that you've inadvertently improved your general health, as well. :D

[Aeris]

...You get a new camera for Christmas and the first thing you want to do is take a picture of your hair to see what this particular camera makes your colour look like.

Or, in my case: when you really really wanted a camera for Christmas just so you could take pictures of your hair to post on here! (I did not get a camera :()

[bouclée]

...you have goose pimples when you see a hairdresser backcombing hair in a YouTube video. Yeek, what a nightmare!

[Shesta]

.. when your landlord will not renew your rental agreement after seeing a single hair strand hanging from the staircase. Because he is terrified not to strangle in your shed hairs some day.
.. when you are sick, vomiting, and need someone to hold all this hair back for you.

[Mommyof4]

If you're like me, and it is absolutely NOT allowed that anyone comb, style, or brush your daughter's hair because it will cause damage to her silky fine hair :D

I get some strange looks when she tells family/friends "Mommy is only allowed to brush my hair. I don't want to get split ends, then it won't look like Rapunzel"

When I had my surgery, my grandma tried to BRUSH my DD hair WET and did not CONDITION it either!! For her very delicate hair, that is like pure abuse! My husband ( I was surprised he's been paying attention to my hair-related chatting ) stopped her and said he "wasn't sure why" but he knew that it had to dry first and that she needed conditioner :D

:dance: I was so proud! hehe

[omnivore]

[I think it's official, now!]

...you get your latest order from the online pet supply place and are completely befuddled as to why a cat specific catalog was included with the bird specific and small pet specific catalogs on top of the order until you pull out the bag of bunny pellets, the bag of bird food, the other bag of bird food, the bottle of bird poop remover, and find the catnip seed kit at the very bottom of the box. You don't have a cat, the catnip is for your hair.

[mzBANGBANG]

If you go to bed every night with an Erykah Badu inspired hairstyle.

If Wednesday is WASH DAY!!! And you truly get excited about it.

If you keep a pair of hair-sheers in your car because the only way to really see split ends is in natural light (bonus points if you snip them while waiting at redlights).

If before constructing a sock bun you asked yourself if you had any softer socks to destroy...

[Vanille_]

Someone tells you about a friend of theirs who has hair almost to their knees. After they tell you that it's not only this long but also HEALTHY, you seriously want to know if they are on the LHC.

[hanne jensen]

You know you're an LHC'er when nothing is too wacky to put on your head if it will promote hair growth or hair health and strength.

[Alvrodul]

... if you are planning a furniture shopping around what you need in order to take good hair pictures for LHC.
I need better lighting for better pictures!!:D

[Keller1128]

When the girl who sits in front of you has so many split ends that you consider moving across the room just so you don't have to see them...but you don't because that would be awkward.

[Rosethorn]

If you watched that movie Tangled and were upset for weeks afterwards because her hair got chopped off.

[PurusNox]

When you call a hair dryer a hair fryer :)
When you take pictures of your hair every month :')

[uptosomeone]

When the girl who sits in front of you has so many split ends that you consider moving across the room just so you don't have to see them...but you don't because that would be awkward.

Eck...been there. There's this girl with WL natural blond hair that could be so gorgeous, but it's so straightened to death (think frizzy halo around the entire length of her hair) that I can't bear to look at it for more than a second. Whenever I see it I just get this image of her ripping a paddle brush through her waves, then straightening it within an inch of its life. urgh.

[theresajensen]

When you buy tights just so you can cut them into no damage hair elastics

[Amber_Maiden]

There's this girl in one my classes, and I just tare at her hair in shock- it's heavily dyed, she straightens it, and it looks like she doesn't brush it because she has bad velcro ends... It's scary. She has the halo effect as well... From the straightening and her hair breaking I suspect.

[inkd]

...if you have gorgeous hair! And cheese! :cheese:

[Lark]

When my daughter accidentally dipped her hair in ketchup and after getting it out I noticed how soft it was, so now I am wondering about risking it for my next deep treatment :D

[omnivore]

When my daughter accidentally dipped her hair in ketchup and after getting it out I noticed how soft it was, so now I am wondering about risking it for my next deep treatment :D

:ponder: Ketchup = (Acidic) tommytoes + vinegar + spices + sugar.
Therefore, (acidic) tommytoes + vinegar + spices + sugar + soak time on hair = soft/shiny hair? I may have to try this, even if just for s&g's. :)

[Sushi144]

If you watched that movie Tangled and were upset for weeks afterwards because her hair got chopped off.

Totally. And it can't even grow back ! :sad

[Long_hair_bear]

If you watched that movie Tangled and were upset for weeks afterwards because her hair got chopped off.

I was kinda bitter over that myself.....

Anyway, I thought of one while I was contemplating my wardrobe for tomorrow:

When you think about how you'll wear your hair first, and then think of a coordinating outfit, not the other way around. :D

Also, like tonight for me..... When you are willing to put diluted cooter cream on your head to make your hair grow faster!

[Rosethorn]

When you're at the computer checking on this thread with your hair full of oil and shea butter because tonight is wash night. Back to Tangled- what?! he couldn't have cut it at waist, or knee, or apl? It HAD to be short?

[LittleOrca]

When you sneak onto the LHC during a research class via laptop computer. *innocent whistle*

[LittleOrca]

When you're at the computer checking on this thread with your hair full of oil and shea butter because tonight is wash night. Back to Tangled- what?! he couldn't have cut it at waist, or knee, or apl? It HAD to be short?

You know you are and LHCer when you go over in your mind the reason why in Tangled that her hair that was cut as a baby stayed short rather than accept a "It didnt grow anymore" theory that is tossed around.


My take:
1) [Practical] Disney did not want to animate a long random strand of brown hair among the golden locks because it would have been too difficult and would have made it seem "dirty" or "flawed" in some way.

2) [Storyline] Mother Gothel told Rapunzel it was from a time in her life when people tried to cut her hair and use it for their own gain and thus the dark streak could have been traumatic for Rapunzel to see as a constant reminder and she kept it cut and out of her sight or Mother Gothel herself trimmed it.

Anywho, my Rapunzel fan-art shows her with brown hair as if it were a few years after the Alice Cullen cut of shame, or blonde as if they cut never happened.

[Creatureling]

LittleOrca, I thought about that too! I kinda thought that maybe the brown hair grew at a normal rate and wasn't super strong like the magical golden hair, so Rapunzel never learned how to care for it properly and cut off all the damage.

I hope that now her hair is all normal, she'll learn how to care for her new hair type and grow out that haircut. I'll guess we'll find out in the sequel.

[kidari]

I suspect a few longhairs at my school and I get so super excited. I don't really know if they are LHCers but they always wear their hair up and from the bun I can tell it's probably really long and I always wonder exactly how long it is. One girl wears her hair in a neat cinnamon bun that she clips the top part into a tails up and she still has lots of hair left over that forms a mini ponytail over the cinnamon bun. Also her hair is really thick, shiny, and healthy. I always stare at her head... haha I sound so creepy!

[sfgirl]

You have a list of movies you watch as hair inspiration. Mine includes a lot of Amanda Seyfried movies, Bollywood movies (Johda Akbars hair was knee length!), period, and fantasy movies. Also "The Virgin Spring".

[Vanille_]

When your friend calls you creepy after asking her if she's used the new shampoo and conditioner you suggested for her.

(she knows I come here and that hair has become my hobby)

[XcaliburGirl]

When you see a news article titled "US growth quickens" and your first thought is "Hmm, I wonder if the U.S. has been using Monistat or Castor Oil." :crazyq:

[Sushi144]

... when you're now able to ask your friend "is that henna on your hair" ?

[lolot]

when you think of acronyms and abreviations for your hair that no one else outside LHC would understand a sentence

[Alvrodul]

When you decide that your hairtoys really need to be on display even if they are not in your hair - so you use them for interior decoration as well! this is a picture from my new living room. :gabigrin:

And If I get tired of looking at this particular selection, there are always others!:D

http://i1130.photobucket.com/albums/m529/Alvrodul/Hairtoys%202012/Interiordecoration.jpg

[Ligeia_13]

^ those are a lot of hair toys! :O

[Alvrodul]

^ those are a lot of hair toys! :O
They do tend to accumulate. ;)

[Sushi144]

Alvrodul : wow, nice !

[dwell_in_safety]

...you have to stop yourself from correcting friends' hair care methods.
...you talked your roommate into letting you care for her hair while she grows out some bleached streaks and are excited about it.
...you spent over an hour last night talking about hair care to an oddly interested male friend on Facebook.

[LittleOrca]

... When deciding to cut off three inches of hair is more traumatic than paying a tuition bill.

[Carrie Ingalls]

You always check the floor (after combing) to make sure you are not leaving sheds around, and you always put your sheds in the appropriate receptacle of your choice (for me it is usually the trash) much to the amusement of your friends who say when they find a shed on a sweater or something they just drop it on the ground, never bothering to put it in the trash.

[mzBANGBANG]

... When deciding to cut off three inches of hair is more traumatic than paying a tuition bill.

LMBO. Thanks for putting it into perspective for me. :D

[mzBANGBANG]

You get upset when people compliment you on your recent weight loss because you're actually dieting for your hair.

[Kira94]

When a friend says "Whoa, your hair is long" and you have to hold yourself back from squealing and jumping up and down. :D

[GRU]

When you have to share comics like this because you know we all understand:

When you have to restrain yourself from telling a stranger on the bus that her ponytail circumference is amazing!!

[BlondieHepburn]

When you consider whipping up a little overnight treatment at 2:30 AM. Just go to bed, you crazy wench!!


When you have to restrain yourself from telling a stranger on the bus that her ponytail circumference is amazing!!

Hehehe. That's great. I asked my flatmate the other night what her ponytail circumference was (her hair is incredibly thick). I think the question freaked her out a little bit. :uhh:

[hisprincess]

-When considering taking a trip, you factor in how many hair products you can pack and how long you'll have to go without deep conditioning
-"I'm washing my hair" sounds like a perfectly valid excuse for not going out.

[poodlemom]

...when you see a bun and wonder what the hair looks like down...

[poodlemom]

-When considering taking a trip, you factor in how many hair products you can pack and how long you'll have to go without deep conditioning

LOL! I just told my husband, I'm wearing my hair like this (oiled,braided, and up), because I am NOT washing my hair BEFORE we go to the beach!!

[pepperminttea]

You absent-mindedly S&D a split end... on one of your arm hairs. :p

[MandyBeth]

When your almost 7yo asks if CO washing will wash a man right out of her hair or if that needs shampoo. I have successfully warped the next generation.

[Diamond.Eyes]

When I talk to my fiancé about the hair typing system and he'll know exactly what I'm talking about because I mention these things so much. I really think he is the only guy I know who can deal with and support my hair obsession/knowledge :laugh:.

[phabieau]

You think about the color, length, and damage in your friends' hair more than they do.

[elfgirl]

When you inwardly cringe at the number of female uni students in your classes who have obviously blow dried, highlighted/chemically dyed, and or flat-ironed, or hair-sprayed hair....happens to me every day.

[Tisiloves]

When you inwardly cringe at the number of female uni students in your classes who have obviously blow dried, highlighted/chemically dyed, and or flat-ironed, or hair-sprayed hair....happens to me every day.

In our Criminology lecture my friend and I used to sit near "terpintine girl", one of the cheerleaders who used so much hairspray you could smell it from 20 feet away :(

[Sweet Beat]

When you find yourself in the sofa trying to find and cut split ends in the commercial breaks when you are watching tv.

[whitedove]

When you go for a nature walk and end up looking for sticks on the ground.

[Kinkycurlygurl]

When you accidentally hit your head hard against a shelf resulting in a bruise, and the first thing you think is "well, maybe it will increase sirculation and I'll have more growth"... :o

ROFL:D :dabbing at the tears and holding my sides:

[Alvrodul]

... when you look all over for your new jar of honey for your smt, and finally find it among your baking stuff - and wonder just what it was doing there... :p

When you read this thread, and think "haha, that is soo me" on most of the posts...

[rock007junkie]

When you are watching "Inkmaster" all you can think about is how Dave Navarro's hair would look so much better if he cut his ends and deep conditioned more often....beautiful guy, dry mess in that head.

[sibiryachka]

When you go for a nature walk and end up looking for sticks on the ground.

When you pick up a promising stick while on a mother-daughter weekend out of town, forget the stick in Mom's car, then 2 months later spot it and go "Oh, that's where it is! Gimme!!". And Mom doesn't even ask... ;)

[newbeginning]

You read about a makeover in a magazine and are horrified. The reason you're horrified is because the woman's before hair was beautiful and long and curly and after it's a lot shorter and had some treatment on it to make it straight.

[Venefica]

When you watch a horror movie and the most scary part is when the monster, a woman who had been made by a doctor in the lab, who have beautiful, black hair at classical lengths get introduced to society by her maker and he have cut her hair to a shoulder length modern style.

When you are watching an anime about giant robots fighting monsters from space and the thing you find most unrealistic is all the action the long haired mech pilot is managing to do without getting hindered by her extremely long hair only held in her ponytail. You know realistically it would tangle into the mech controls.

When you go to relive yourself and you have to check that you have not accidentally dropped your ponytail in the bowl before you start to go about your natural needs.

[elthia]

I CWC with shampoo bars.

So I jump in the shower, take off my shower cap, lather up the conditioner that has been sitting on my head, rinse, use my poo bar, go to grab the ACV.......and it's not there.

Utter confusion. Look out the shower to the counter, nope. Step on the bathmat, look under the sink, not there either. Briefly consider skipping the ACV rinse. Remembers the horrible state my scalp was in awhile back, and I'm not 100% sure that the ACV rinse is the reason the itchy dandruff/sebum plugs and sores are gone, or if it is the sulfate free regimen, a combination of both. However my regimen works, so why change it. Ponders another moment while shivering and dripping, wraps towel around self and streaks to kitchen with the 1 liter cup I use for my rinse and searches for the ACV.

DH must have used it to cook with, it's in the pantry. Dash back to the shower, and continue as normal.

[MonaLisa]

When on a non-busy day, you bring your hair scissors to work to S&D like a maniac, because light at work shows all splits, and you just can't get yourself to use paper scissors on your hair :D Sigh, my eyes hurt already!!

[Venefica]

When the hair stick you are wearing is worth more than the entire rest of your outfit.

[Dark Queen]

When you go to relive yourself and you have to check that you have not accidentally dropped your ponytail in the bowl before you start to go about your natural needs.

I know I've said this before, but when you keep an "emergency" hair toy in the bathroom for this exact reason.:o

[Clem_Dela]

When bleach scares you...

When you spot a new shampoo in the store, and before purchasing, go home and google unfamiliar ingredients, or better yet, post a question on LHC!

When you hate seeing straight hair when you can see that it is very thick and would normally be full of gorgeous curls. And the owner of that hair probably thinks they look terrible... Thank you LHC for being full of proud curlies!

[VikingVampChick]

When the hair stick you are wearing is worth more than the entire rest of your outfit.

You are Not on LHC and you google a question of something you're interested in. (Rita Coolidge, Peggy Lipton, Crystal Gayle:today, have they cut their hair?)
You get your answer:and its taken you To LHC!

[long&blonde]

When the hair stick you are wearing is worth more than the entire rest of your outfit.
"When the hairstick you are wearing cost more than the whole outfit"

And the looks we get for our hairsticks!
Sometimes I think our hair toys are most appreciated by
Fellow LHC-ers!

You realize "no wonder I wear my hair like I do", when you see pictures of your 35 year ago hair heros.
Peggy Lipton, Rita Coolidge.
You laugh thinking you wear your hair like your heros of 3 decades ago:now.

[Alvrodul]

... if you spend days planning what hairtoy to wear, and what updo to go with it - and 5 minutes picking your outfit.

:D :D :D Yup.

The first thing you notice about the 10 or so year old patient one operatory over is that, especially for her age, she has the THICKEST braid I have EVER seen in real life! And when I point it out to my classmate, she looks at me like I'm crazy and laughs.

[Nedertane]

When you have 3 BBBs: a dry brush, an oily brush and a travel brush (that is to remain dry, but can be used to spread the oils). I am ridiculous.

When you're S&Ding while reading this thread and you think, "Fairy knots, hmmm...wonder if my back layers are long enough for those yet. Better check." And then you do, and bam, there's one, and you snip it with your scizzors, terribly excited that the back layers are finally long enough to pull over your head...

When all the neighborhood kids call you the "Braid Lady" and show up right as your shift ends so you can do their hair. And their mothers' don't even think this is odd anymore...

When your friends come up to you with a yoga magazine, brandish a phot of a model with a funky braid/bun/updo and ask "Will this stay in for chopping wood?" And next thing you know you've got her tipped upside down with BBB in her hand and two hairsticks in your own as you try to figure it out....

[Miss Catrina]

If you seriously consider bringing a jar of peanut butter with you on a one night trip, because you're hoping eating it every day will hep your hair grow.

[Hollyfire3]

Are fairy knots knots on a single strand of hair?

Oh, here's another: You know you're an LHCr when you're permanently logged in on your computer, hubby's laptop AND your cell phone since you're bound to have one or the other through out the day.

When your husband pours the rest of the olive oil into the serving bottle in the kitchen and you tell him in a rather irritated tone "Olive oil is not for cooking, its for my face and hair."

He thought he'd be sneaky and take the bottle out of the bathroom and use that for cooking. Grr.

[lostchyld]

When all you remember of last night's dream is your gorgeous, terminal length hair and the terror you felt when you weren't sure if the bad guy was going to harm you or your hair... Not the hair, please. I have story dreams, so there's always a bad guy and I keep arm wrestling the dream so I can keep the hair. Take the prince, I want my hair.

And, a day later, you still are disappointed when you look in the mirror that your hair isn't really as long as you dreamed.:pins:

[caadam]

.... When watching a friend or a stranger brush their hair, you wince every time you hear hairs snapping one after another, because it causes actual, if just slight, pain in your ears and heart.

When you roll your eyes as someone says, "Your hair is NOT clean unless you shampoo and condition every day! GUH," because you know that after being in LHC for long enough, that is far from the truth for most people.

When you find yourself rambling to someone about your new hair routine, not thinking until later that you might've came off strange and kind of gross talking about not having used any products, including shampoo and conditioner, for almost two weeks. Huh... OH WELL :D

When you're patiently explaining to someone that dying their hair regularly with industry strength hair dye isn't actually solving their oily scalp issue but making it worse, though give up when they act like you know nothing, even though they've actually know nothing beyond what they've been doing to their hair themselves. *sigh*

When you get annoyed after someone tells you to cut your hair and donate it, even more so when they try and tell you you're only being selfish. However, feeling some satisfaction when they go quiet after you tell them what kind of hair CAN be used for wigs, and that you wouldn't be a good candidate for donation anyway. BWAHAHA

When you realize you have only one bottle of shampoo that hasn't been touched for months yet have gone through a family sized bottle of conditioner in a month, and still have three more hiding under your sink.

When you find yourself actually knowing how to adapt a basic hair routine to someone's hair type, lifestyle, and hair product choices!

When you DO actually find yourself quietly examining the girl's waist-length hair next to you and notice that even though it was pretty from afar, it's actually riddled with split ends. And thus, you are tempted to kindly suggest she could do with a trim, but afraid you might offend her. lol

When you suggest to someone that they try CO washing, only to have them give you this look: o______o Ugh, you mean wash my hair with just conditioner? Conditioner can't wash your hair!

...and I thought this generation was meant to be ACCEPTING and TOLERANT of different ways of living. :rolleyes: Selectively, I guess.

ANYWAY

When someone compliments your hair and asks how you got it to be so nice, then hesitate in telling them. LOL ;)

When you tell someone that they can probably get rid of their oiliness by stretching out their washes, and when they freak out about having oily hair, you are unnerved by it.

When you find a YT video that shows "Different ways to wash you hair (even though a lot of those ways are sketchy and damaging)," then read the comments which are littered with people raging mindlessly about how only shampooing is going to clean hair, and in response you revolt by putting up a kind comment about how you are WO and your hair is clean and has never been happier. lol

When you're on the bus, you don't flip out when the girl in front of you accidentally flips their hair onto your book, and just push the hair away. :D

When you watch a YT hair tutorial and the girl brushing her hair says, "*le sigh* I know, my hair is soooo long, you guys *rips through just-part-shoulders hair with plastic brush*," and all you can do is gape in horror.

When you make a bowl of avocado salad and propose toshare with your SO and he says
"I thought it was for your hair" XD

LOL! My dbf does this ALL the time! He doesn't want to use the olive oil to cook because "it might be for your hair" and every time I make a smoothie and offer him some he asks if it will make his hair grow too! :D

...you are able to answer questions about hair toys and hair tools while still half asleep.

[sibiryachka]

...When a) you are the person your brother-in-law consults first for advice on what to do about his worsening dandruff, and b) your advice works. :disco:

...When you are browsing at Sally, and the only other person in the store is explaining to the sales clerk about all the products she wants to try and specific hair issues she has, and after about 10 minutes she's at the register and you literally, physically cannot stop yourself from going up her and saying "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but couldn't help overhearing. There's this website called LHC, and it's your new best friend." Both the customer and the clerk noted it! That was the first time I've ever pimped us like that.

You know someone with a last name that ends in "cone" and you have a vague feeling of apprehension whenever you read it.

When you spend your evenik with your hair soaked in coconutmilk and wrapped in plastic.. My cat was drinking some of the coconut milk left in the can (crazy cat:rolleyes:) and got it in his fur. My first thought was "Maybe it will be god for his fur"..

[Clem_Dela]

if you read the ingredients on a free sample of a shampoo given to you in the bookstore... in front of everyone looking like a weirdo o_O hahaha

[Clem_Dela]

If you buy a band tee only to realize your hair covers all of the tour dates on the back with inches to spare...

If this legitimately encourages you to put your hair in a bun for the day!

when any herb, oil or tea that crosses your path makes you wonder what it might do for your hair

[gogirlanime]

.... When watching a friend or a stranger brush their hair, you wince every time you hear hairs snapping one after another, because it causes actual, if just slight, pain in your ears and heart.

When you roll your eyes as someone says, "Your hair is NOT clean unless you shampoo and condition every day! GUH," because you know that after being in LHC for long enough, that is far from the truth for most people.

When you find yourself rambling to someone about your new hair routine, not thinking until later that you might've came off strange and kind of gross talking about not having used any products, including shampoo and conditioner, for almost two weeks. Huh... OH WELL :D

When you're patiently explaining to someone that dying their hair regularly with industry strength hair dye isn't actually solving their oily scalp issue but making it worse, though give up when they act like you know nothing, even though they've actually know nothing beyond what they've been doing to their hair themselves. *sigh*

When you get annoyed after someone tells you to cut your hair and donate it, even more so when they try and tell you you're only being selfish. However, feeling some satisfaction when they go quiet after you tell them what kind of hair CAN be used for wigs, and that you wouldn't be a good candidate for donation anyway. BWAHAHA

hahah I think this was more of a vent :agape: lol really funny though :D and true

Mine:

When you co-worker tries to "tell you like it is" by "knowing a lot about hair growth" even though she's never been on LHC or studied intensely for a year like I have and says, "to grow your hair long you should trim it every 6 weeks" :rolleyes: and what is a "trim" 1/2 an inch, IDIOT you just cut of basically what you grew, doing that, you get 1 1/2 of length added to you at the end of the year at 1/2 an inch of growth per month... stupid... :rant: Trimming is important but not a salon trim every 6 weeks. Doing 2-3 1/4" or 1-2 1/2" trims yourself a year is what should be done to get good growth and to prevent damage.

You Know You are a LHC when... you talk to people all the time about hair and how you can get it really long.

You Know You are a LHC when... putting oil for healing horse wounds in your hair is normal, or catnip, or vinegar.

You Know You are a LHC when... Washing, cleaning and clarifying are three different things

You Know You are a LHC when... You know that most of the hair/cosmetic companies are full of lies.

You Know You are a LHC when... eating spoonfuls of powdered fossil shells (DE), peanut butter, molasses, and fish oil on a daily basis is a normal thing
