Introduction
I will be the first to admit that I am a long hair junkie. Not only because I have long hair but because I believe that anyone with gorgeous healthy long hair is walking around with a work of art cascading from their heads. As a result I gawk, stare and admire from afar. Sometimes I will ask my guy how my own long hair compares and he will roll his eyes because he isn't a long hair addict like me. At one point I actually attended a gathering of long haired friends and we spend the entire time talking about our hair care routines, products and even long hair specialists. We were totally oblivious to the table of cute guys behind us who were at various points trying to get the attention of all those long hair ladies hanging out and drinking margaritas. And yes, we debated the merits of drinking alcohol on our strands but hey, sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. A friend recently asked me how to tell if they were a long hair addict or not and I put together a list of the most common symptoms. Whether you have long hair, want to have long hair or just love to look at long hair, check out the lists below. Note: Please note that this article is written in a light hearted manner and is not intended to offend anyone reading it. Long Hair Addiction Symptoms
