--Even at APL your head jerks back from the water weight when you wet it down in the shower.
--You use 1/5 bottle conditioner every wash.
--Your ponytailers are 1/4 inch thick.
--A massive shed doesn't really bother you.
--There is more hair on the bathroom floor than dust.
--You gave yourself fairytale ends on purpose.

- When you have to use TWO or more Large Ficcares.
- When you use hairsticks that are over 7-8in long, because they are the only ones that work in your hair.
- When you have to condition your hair TWICE with large handfuls of conditioner- just to make sure you it all through your hair.
- When you have a TT through of hair and it doesn't really bother you.
- When you get a tangle you can't comb out/are so frustrated with, and just cut it out, and no one notices any difference in your hair- AND neither do you.

When S&D takes an hour minimum to finish, just so that you see every single little hair end.
When air-drying your hair takes over four hours

- When you break at least one hairstick per month.
- When there are parts of your scalp which you can't even get while shampooing (strangely those little parts show the healthiest hair :rolleyes: ).
- When you must clean the shower after every wash due to extreme blockage with shed hair.

You might have thick hair if:

-You sit there trying to saturate your hair with a spray bottle for what feels like an eternity.
-You have to divide your hair in two for most hair projects (brushing, washing, etc.)
-When you get done braiding, it feels like you've done an intense arm workout.
-When your hands have increasing difficulty holding the sections when you braid.
-You discover randomly in a store or out and about that your ponytail holder has been pushed out by your ever expanding mass of hair.

The prayer is essential to the whole thing. Also hair that sticks to itself happily. Also layers. And a hairstick imbued with mystical powers (look under the magic section on etsy).

If the hair at the hollow at the base of your skull is best described as a "thicket" and never, ever gets truly clean despite multiple attempts at shampooing.
When the hair you shed in the shower forms big clumps with tails of hair trailing off and you suspect that in the night they become sentient and crawl around the bathroom like mice (maybe I'm alone in picturing this horror).
If you know you won't be able to the updos finer haired people do at shorter lengths for a very, very long time :(

When I was little my aunt noted that while my cousin, who was the same age as me, had very fine hair while mine was very thick. I got so upset and probably cried because the word "fine" sounds so much better to a five year than "thick." I love my thick hair now, though.

You realize you'll have to grow to classic to even attempt some of those great buns on youtube. It's one of the major frustrations of my life. I still cannot do a real figure 8 bun.

I don't have a whole lot of hair clogging up the shower, though. I detangle and comb out shed hairs very thoroughly beforehand, and that helps a lot. I also dilute my shampoo because otherwise there's no way for it to get all the way to my scalp. Haven't broken a hair stick yet!

You might have thick hair if it destroys BBBs regularly, cheap and expensive alike.
...if your braid is thicker than your wrist.
...if you can use hairtoys intended for all of one's hair only for tiny strands.
...if you use two large Ficcares to hold a low ponytail.
...if you get impatient during detangling and just rip through your hair, which breaks the comb, then you grab your brush and continue ripping through your hair, which breaks the brush handle.

When it takes two ponytail elastics and eight bobby pins to keep a bun in. (My hair is almost APL and I still can't use hairsticks.)

... When shampooing your hair makes your arms ache.
... When the hairdresser glares at you when they have to go make more batch(es) of hair dye/highlights solution/perm goop.
... When you do a tiny trim on your own hair and someone walks in on you and freaks out because they insist that you've cut tons and tons of hair off when you've only taken off 0.5" maximum.
... Upon seeing how much hair you shed, people ask if you're going bald, but you know it's a perfectly normal amount of sheds for you.
... When you can wear and use your hair like a blanket.
... When six spin pins still doesn't feel like enough when you do certain hairstyles.

I am finally brushing waistlength, and still can't do a nautilus bun. However I can split my hair in two and do two nautilus buns side by side, or top and bottom.

I classify myself as ii/iii, but my ponytail is 4 inches when I measure it on nonwash days, and it is much fluffier on wash days. I haven't washed in 3 days and I just measured, and it was 4 inches exactly.

I just want to be able to finally do more with my hair, I love it, but waist is a milestone, and I'm still stuck with twisted buns.

Your previously VERY heat damaged hair is growing back from some breakage and dryness and now measures .5 thicker (I thought it was a new product I found, but I ran out of product weeks ago and my ponytail is STILL increased...) and all you can think is "if it gets ANY thicker, I might go crazy!" I love my thick hair but seriously, with the wurls and poof and summer and ick, I just, it looks SO messy....

That was very common in the pre-Tangle Teezer days. :lol:

Brings back a sad memory.
I tried damp bunning when I was 14, using a scrunchie. It was a hot summer and I would take cool showers before putting my hair up every day. I just wanted my hair wet to keep me cool. It did mildew and the hair got really weak there. It was a sad time. I don't normally dampen my hair at all before putting it up any more.

-When you cannot wrap your thick hair in a crown braid at hip, so you section it into thirds and leave one braid hanging (like my siggy?).
-When you look at a XL Flexi8 and wonder how you'll get it to hold a bun... and end up supporting it with other hair forks/sticks.
-When braiding requires a break to let your fingers rest from their bulky burden.
-When a hairdresser has to go buy another tub of bobby pins from the market next door to finish your updo.
When those bobby pins go flying all over the reception hall.
-When the updo comb vendor literally says "oofdah" when you let your hair down into his hands for as demonstration.
-When your braid is a viable bludgeon.

You know those bun-styles where you have to wrap your hair around your hand or finger, and then wrap it around again? I can't. It may be a combo of "short fingers-thick hair" but I blame my hair.

I still can't do anything more than a basic bun and I'm almost at waist.

Vanilla
July 15th, 2012, 07:11 PM
Im not a super thick haired (ponytail is 3.5 inches), but I always have to redo my updo at least 3 times a day due to the heaviness of my nearly BSL hair. It pulls sticks and forks out with the weight.

I long for the thinning shears sometimes, so my hair will actually stay up. I can totally relate to the bobby pins being found in ones hair, or needing 10,000 for an updo.

Both of these! I often use LOTS of normal conditioner for leave in and it dries fine. Not at all greasy, just soft, yet it STILL has the nerve to frizz sometimes ick. That last one was me today! My hair had been going on 3 days unwashed (after sweating ALOT on the 2nd day, like coated in sweat, but I had no time to wash). Anyways, my hair looked fine from all angles, but I couldn't even get the freakin comb through it because it was coated in both sebum and olive oil (my attempt at detangling, fail), it was pretty comical.

If the only reason you could do any kind of bun at BSL was because you had a lot of layers
If once your bangs fit into your updo, you could no longer do buns at MBL that worked at BSL
If the only reason you can do a bee-butt, figure 8, or infinity bun at nearly waist is because you still have lots of layers
If you snap hairsticks trying to do a pencil bun
If your go-to hairstick is a DPN because it's the only thing that won't break. Stab someone in the eye, yes; but it won't break.

If you've ever used shorter than waist-length hair as a comfy pillow.
If anyone has ever complained that they couldn't see around your hair.

Hehe so true.

My hair measures around 4" consistently, if I pull reallyy tight sometimes it's like 3.9" and sometimes it's a little over 4", I guess it has to do with whether my hair is freshly washed/oily/has product in it etc.

For me:
-Brushing takes an infinity (at least it used to be this way, my hair tangles drastically less nowadays, I'm not sure which of the changes in my routine is the cause o.o)
-It is tangled again 30s after brushing
-Takes all day to dry
-Damp bun will never dry, ever :(

-If every single hairdresser you go to gets out the thinning shears/razor and tells you they'll have to thin your hair out quite a lot because it's so thick.
-If you don't have curly hair, but it still looks like a lion's mane if you brush it upside down.
-If you get an undercut on both sides of your head back to a bit behind your ears and about four inches above them, and you now feel that you have a "normal," manageable amount of hair.

The first time I had a major chop my head felt freakishly light, and when I cut my hair to shoulder length it looked like Lord Farquaad/ Murderface/ a mushroom!!! I've started getting major headaches from having to tie my hair up for work and it looks like a full on 23inch mane when air drying!! I use about 1/3 of my conditioner bottle every time I shower and I shed in MASSIVE amounts yet it never seems any thinner! Definitely a challenge but I like my thick hair and I'm sure Ill be thankful for it when I grow old and my hair starts thinning.

Your hair is only BSL but you need 4 tubes of dye.
Wooden Combs survive a matter of Weeks.
The hair left in your butt crack after a shower could be used as a rat.
You clean your brush out after every use.
Two braids are still only shoulder length when you have BSL hair.
You can roll it into a ball and it's a pillow.
If you sleep with it wet it will not dry.
Hairsticks are an adornment only.
A large ficcare won't hold a French twist.
You can use several teaspoons of oil and it disappears.
BBB's are only useful for polishing an updo, you'd have to make 20 sections to use it properly.

- your hair needs to be sectioned off in order to shampoo it, rinsing goes in sections too (lift and rinse, lift and rinse)
- you have to wait until hip length to do a few well-known buns properly, such as a nautilus, cinnamon bun, lazy wrap, without giving yourself a facelift from the tension

*raises hand* Well, my hair isn't SUPER thick, but thicker than it used to be.. and moreso at the scalp. I measure at the upper end of ii [about 3.5" or so]. My hairballs look horrible, but it's really not that many hairs.. they're just thicker and long. :D :disco:

Flat-ironing your hair takes 45 minutes.

Flat-ironing your hair takes THREE HOURS ....

(This was at BSL.)


You can use several teaspoons of oil and it disappears.

I bought three sixteen-ounce jars of coconut oil two weeks ago, and one of them is already half gone .... :rolleyes: And I just lightly oil as I'm braiding every night. "Lightly* meaning handfuls.

-When your hair is coming up on tailbone and you STILL can't do a proper cinnabun.

I've given up on ever doing a comfortable cinnabun. They're just too heavy and I'm tired of messing around with them, so out the window they go!

My hair deformed a spin pin today. It took five minutes to yank it out (I got frustrated and didnt care about the damage after about a minute).

i get like this with some tangles! I'll be combing and BAM tangle, I try to work it out but get angry and kinda rip the comb through it (hides). I figure there's enough to go around for one tangle right? I just don't have the patience for my hair at times!

When you pull a bobby pin out of your hair and it looks likes it's been through a war or two...

AKA: The gap in my bobby pin is bigger than the Grand Canyon.

I am on the upper side of ii, 3.5" pony circumference.

-When you break a hair fork trying to get it in your hair.
-when you use your detachable shower head to try to actually get water to your scalp.
-when you only get meager twists and flipped buns to stay after copious amounts of practice and as others said, praying.
- when despite preventative measures you have a broken vacuum
-when you resign yourself to vacuuming with the hose attachment.

My hair doesn't spit them out.... but every now and then I'll be twisting one in and it will be forced apart by the hair and deform totally :( Makes me sad.

Oh yeah, and I said I needed 3 tubes of dye? It turned out to be 4 yesterday and I still missed a huge patch at the back :(

So another is when you can't afford to dye as it would cost you &#163;30 a month to DIY it.

*when your APL cinnabun modification slips and crushes your metal French comb like an
anaconda with a rabbit.

*when the only way to shampoo your scalp properly without using a good handful is to dilute it in an applicator bottle (it's easier to CO, I think it's the slip).

When your hubby is afraid of you turning to quickly when asleep for your braid hitting him across the face feels like a club.

That first one happened last night. I was trying to get my hair wet and it just...wouldn't get wet. No fun

When you henna your hair and two mermaid soaks, two shampoos, a wide-tooth comb, and four rinses don't get all of the henna out. Had to do a third shampoo and two more rinses.

You might have thick hair if you wonder whatever happened to that other bobby pin, only to find it when you comb out your hair the next day. :gabigrin:

I do this soooo often! I've started writing the number of pins I put in my hair down just to make sure I don't leave any behind.

When you go for the big chop, and your hair stylist stops half way through to get a broom because she "can't feel the floor any more" and it's freaking her out.

When you stop tipping your head back in the shower because soapy water on your face is better than a sore neck from holding up the weight.

And mine isn't even that thick! :lol:

i-thin- 2 in. or less
ii medium- 2-4 in.
iii thick- 4 in. or more

I have weird hair. Sometimes it measures 3.5 in, and other times 4 :confused:
