QuoteReplyTopic: ever lost a piece of hair? Posted: October 16 2006 at 4:46pm
Reading all these funny stories has pulled me out of my read only state. I've been spitting all over the screen!
Had to share mine!
I was late for church one morning and it was a snowy, windy day. I ran in and sat down in a pew. A few moments later there was a tap on my shoulder and I turned around and an elderly lady said "Girl, you best pat down the top of your hair-cause every track is saying hello to me!"
-I used to have super powers but my therapist took them away
omg- funny funny stories- the bug- karen- "OMG i would of freaked out!!
hair in baggie- hairlarous!!!
i was sitting in church one sunday and ya know- after a while it sorta gets a tad bit tiring(boring) anyway- i decided to run my fingers thru my hair and felt that one strand was gonna slide all the way out. so i very cautiously threw my purse on the floor- and while i was bending down to pick it up- i slide the hair out and pushed it in my purse, then i was freaked there were more, but there wernt, so to be safe, i put on my jacket and let my hair stay in back of jacket, no others came out or were loose, but yeah, i was freaked.
Oh my gosh, Karen! I can't even imagine! Having a big creepy crawly tangled in my hair is my worst fear. When mine was short it wasn't so bad (then it was more about something slithering down my neck), but now that there is enough to get tangled in, ewwww! With the long hair you have (and living in a place where there are those horrible palmetto bugs) I'd be wearing my hair in a hat whenever I went out. (Btw, rolfing is great. I had a massage therapist for a bit who used those techniques and I swear, every massage was like therapy. Half the time I'd be crying by the end of my massage.)
Elvira, I've seen people with toilet paper like that, but never in a wedding with a weft attached! What else can you do but hold your head up and get that sucker off your shoe? Too funny. I used to wear long, sheer skirts with leggings underneath (hey, those are back in style again!) and had it happen one time that after going to the bathroom I'd tucked the skirt into my tights in the back, revealing most of my butt. I was at least three errands past my bathroom stop before some nice woman came to me, embarrassed, and told me my skirt was tucked up and my butt was showing. What can you do?
Yes...rolfing helps the body, the mind and spirit..in my experience. I had a bad fall about 10 months ago and could not get my knee back in alignment even after a chiropractor tried to adjust it. My rolfer finally got it snapped back.
And yes it can be intense but worth it.
As far as revealing body parts...I was recently at a lecture and the guy giving had his fly open. I felt so bad for him. There were about 200 people in the room and he kept throwing his arms around and exposing himself. Eeewwwwww.
Finally someone handed him a note....he turned beet red and then zipped up.
It was funny but I also felt bad for him.
Thank GOD I don't have to worry about zipping a fly. I am so absent minded I can only imagine.
And by the way....in the movie Something About Mary.....could that "caught in the zipper" thing really happen in real life? Or was that just artistic license?

OMYGAWD ...Im ROTFLMAO....I have a few of those storys but nothing related to hair. This is a fun thread....and we needed a good laugh! SO anyone else with hair stories please share!!!
I've had quite a few embarrassing hair moments, more than I care to remember. I had a wig pulled off my head in a bar in Boston but that
wasn't the worst.
I was a bridesmaid in my friends wedding. As I was walking down the aisle, I noticed people were looking on the ground by my feet so I looked down and noticed that not only was toilet paper stuck to the bottom of the heel of my shoe, but one of my smaller wefts had come loose and was trailing along with the toilet paper off the heel of my shoe. It's not like I could run and hide so I just did what I do best. Acknowledge the fact that I am making a fool of myself once again, lift up my leg and shake the toilet paper and weft off my shoe (ith a straight face staring straight ahead,)and kick the weft and toilet paper under the pew.
OMG....so horrible but funny at the same time. :-) I hope they didn't catch you on the wedding video.

(Karen, your hair story reminds me of another funny bedroom story that happened to me. One night several years ago I fell asleep next to my partner with the light still on. He must have cuddled up behind me, because I woke up in a panic because I'd imagined a SNAKE behind me [I'll let you guys figure THAT one out! hahaha]. So, before I could even think, I flew out of bed screaming "SNAKE!!" I immediately realized that there was no snake [at least of the reptillian kind] but my poor guy... There he was in a sound sleep and I'm screaming "SNAKE." I'm standing there watching him push the covers around to find the snake while trying to get out of the bed at the same time to get away from the snake... It took a minute for me to get my words working to explain to him, but by that time I was laughing SO hard at the image of that poor guy trying to find the snake in the bed... To this day I can make myself cry laughing so hard just by thinking of it.)
OK...here is the bug story.......
One of the ways I deal with constant stress is that I get rolfed (does anyone here do that?) on a monthly basis. I go to an alternative health clinic that has massage therapists and rolfers and aromatherapists. It is in a nice part of North Dallas and the clinic is very clean and clinical looking.
I usually get the last appointment of the day at 7:00 pm and even though they have three restrooms....after about 5:00 they lock all of them except a teeny tiny bathroom near the lobby.
When I arrived for my appointment I went to the restroom...which I swear is a tiny commode and tiny sink with just walls around it. You can barely bend over without hitting your head.
The toilet paper holder is mounted on the side of the tiny sink and you are literally jammed into this tiny room.
So there I was using the toilet and my hair....which is very long...was loose. I felt something brush against my arm but thought it was my hair. I finished, washed my hands and walked out into the lobby area.
A woman sitting there waiting looked at me and let out a blood curdling scream. I mean loud, loud scream.
My rolfer ran out the door and looked at the woman screaming who was pointing at my head. He literally grabbed my head and starting pulling at something. I saw something fall to the floor and the woman who was screaming jumped up on a chair.
On the floor was a Palmetto bug complete with wings that was about 36 inches long and must have weighed several ounces. It looked like a small animal. Seriously.
Apparently when I went into the bathroom it crawled from the sink into my hair and was perched there when I walked out into the lobby.
I still get the creeps thinking about it.
Now when I go the clinic...no matter what time...they open one of the other bathrooms for me because I will not go into that Bug Bathroom anymore.
Of course my rolfer was mortified.
Thats it...that my bug story (just for you Kristie). I have others but not directly tied to my hair like that one. :-)

i love ya'lls stories ! (this is the second day wearing my 'waist cincher' so i cant bust a gut laughing).......toward the end of our meal the waitress grabbed my hand and pushed the little ziploc bag into my palm, i was looking at her like huh and thinking she wanted to shake my hand (like 'hey you are my favorite customer ! :) .......but then i realized it was the piece of hair and i laughed like crazy and thanked her ...she doesnt wear extensions but she knows i do because she saw me go from crap hair to great hair earlier this year!............we went to the fair today and even my husband and kids were pointing out half loose weaves around the place, yes i have taught my family well :)

One time when I was sleeping my hair which is very long, got tangled behind my head while I was sleeping and it felt like I had a furry animal on my neck crawling around like a mouse or big bug. I woke up from a sound sleep screaming at the top of my lungs. I think I disturbed the entire neighborhood.
Hair can really be buglike.
Now there is the bathroom story that is about hair and a giant bug. Do you guys wants to hear it or shall I save that horror? :-)

I love these stories. One of the BHM women posted one time about getting thrown in the ocean by a guy she liked with a phony pony on and having it float away from her. I think the guy saw it, and the story she told about how she explained that blob of hair in the sea was hysterical.
I did have a weft come loose in the shower and slither down my leg like some kind of weird hairy bug. I'd heard other women describing similar experiences, but until it happens to you you can't know just how disconcerting it is to have something like that unexpectedly sliding down your wet, naked body. Eww.
OH MY GOD...that is so hilarious....even though it wasn't at the time. I feel your pain. This should have been an episode on Friends or something. Remember the one where Ross had on tight leather pants and couldn't get them back on and was in the bathroom forever trying baby lotion and powder and falling down on the floor.
You hair story reminded me of that. HA HA. So funny in retrospect.
Yes I do remember that episode.. Brought me and my friend to TEARS!!!! Much of my life as a single woman could have been an episode of Girlfriends!!!

Over the 20+ years I have been wearing weaves, braids, hairpieces and wigs I have had a few funny "when good hair goes bad" moments..
Some of them weren't funny when they happened, but I can laugh my a$$
off about them now..
The funniest one was my dinner date disaster.
Richard was one of the aerobics instructors at this boxing gym I
used to go to.. He and I had been digging each other so after a few
weeks of flirting, he invited me to his place for dinner and a little
jacuzzi dipping.. I was wearing a freshly done SLAMMIN', super curly extensions with hair going half way down my back. (As my friend called it..
my 2 ton Diana Ross weave)
I had pulled my hair into a ponytail. Since we were going to be
hitting the jacuzzi, I wanted to keep my hair looking nice.. I wasn't
worried about the hair getting wet.. Just wanted to keep it together in
case it did.. That was my mistake.
So after dinner, we go to the pool area. I was trying to be cute and sexy
(think Halle Berry in the James Bond flick.. you know the bikini
scene??) I walked into the shallow end of the pool, and did a quick
dunk backwards to wet my hair just a little.. Then we got into the
jacuzzi. All was going fine, we're chillin', having a good conversation
and a little wine.. but as my hair began to dry a little, I could FEEL
this hair crawling up my neck and the hair on top of my head began to
feel like it was closing in on my head too. I mean it felt TIGHT!!! I
thought I was imagining things.. So I tried to play it off and reached
up to smooth my hair back and run my fingers through the ponytail a
little, and discovered what I was starting to suspect..
This hair was beginning to MAT up into a big old mess on my head..
So before it got worse, I excused myself to go to the bathroom..
Thinking I could fix this.. Once I got to this man's apartment and into
his bathroom, I closed the door and REALLY looked at what was going
on.. This hair had morphed into what looked like your grandma's WORST
wig.
I tried finger combing the hair, and then I stuck my head in the
shower to re-wet it hoping I could loosen it up enough to finger comb
through this hair.. When that didn't work (in fact it just matted down
TIGHTER), I desperately began looking through this man's bathroom for
ANYTHING I could use to loosen this hair up.. When I couldn't find
anything, I continued trying desperately to see if I could break up any
of those mats with my fingers (even resorting to trying to RIP some of
them open) and try to salvage what was left of my dignity..
All of that hair had turn into one giagantic head shaped KNOT on my head.. Now... by this time, I had been gone for over 15
minutes "using the bathroom". So now, homeboy has come up from the pool
area and he is at the bathroom door knocking and asking me if I was
alright..
By now I looked a hot mess.. and I wasn't about to WALK out that
bathroom door and let him see me like that.. So I did the ONLY thing I
could do.. I grabbed a towel, and wrapped my hair in a turban like I
had just washed it!..
I made sounds like I was throwing up, flushed the toilet, and then I
walked out that bathroom clutching at my stomach.. I put on my skirt,
grabbed my shirt, shoes and my purse. I told him I was not feeling
well, I was going home, and that I would call him later.. I told him I
was taking the towel because my hair was wet, and I didn't want to
drive with wet hair while I was sick.. I
left, barefoot in a bikini top wearing a (now wet) miniskirt carrying
the rest of my clothes and purse and avoided this brotha's calls once I
got home..
Now you know that it was WEEKS before I showed my face at that gym
again, and I played it off like I was busy at work, and that's why he
hadn't heard from me.. Unfortunately..
That was the LAST date I had with this man.. (Not because he didn't ask
again..he did.. I avoided the topic..) I could never get over that
night or move past it.. (Too bad.. he was fine..)
And the hair?? I worked on untangling that hair all night when I got
home. The next day I called in sick to work, and went to my mother's
house. With some Breck (that's right BRECK) Creme Rinse, a wide tooth
comb, and some help from my sister, we got most of the mats and tangles
out. My extensionist (not my current stylist) cut out and replaced the
few tracks we could not untangle, but that was the LAST curly weave I
ever wore..
