I notice everytime I am talking about something, I always have to push long hair topics in my conversations even when what we are talking about it is nothing to do with it. Am I obsessed with longhair, or am I just talking about what is deeply apart of me? I don't care if you post I am obsessed, because I might be lol.
Could be the latter (you're just excited about finally doing something you've always wanted to do, therefore you want to talk about it a lot). On the other hand, it may well be a 'benign' obsession developing (i.e. one that won't ruin your life like being, say, a cokehead !).
Only you know if you have a tendency to obsessive behaviour in other areas of your life - if you do, then maybe you need to be careful about avoiding staring ritual behaviour in connection with your hair.
I find I'm getting to be obsessed with my hair too. But on a postive note I pay attention to the rest of my body a whole lot more too.
I do the very same thing. Not sure if I'm obsessed, or just -=REALLY=- into long hair, either way, I'm going to stop randomly introducing hair topics into conversations.

Thanks guys! I am going to go sketch now. Post me if you have anything to say!!! SEEYA :)
Maybe fixated at this point.
After you have had long hair for years you will find that you have incorporated it into your lifestyle and don't have to think about it ALL the time.
If after years you still do stuff like bring it up in converstation when it has nothing to do with the topic then that is a sure sign of obsession.
Not that this is you but I see lots of guys coming through this board with short hair and an announcement that they are going to grow it long followed up by a fixation on every sort of detail about their hair when what they should be concentrating on is not worrying about it and letting their hair grow out for awhile (stop getting haircuts and buzzcuts) so they have a basis to build on.
I used to do that too. But after a while I got bored with repeating my self over and over again. It's just a phrase I grew out of.
Lol, maybe a bit of both, I'm certainly long hair obsessed but I'm also passionate about it too, I've never been happier since I began growing my hair, and now its long I'm so happy with it that I want to share this happiness with others.
Its only natural that we try and talk about things that make us happy, and believe me I take every obvious opportunity to talk about it, but as natural conversation doesn't tend to bring it up everyday, I drop by the hyperboard where I can discuss it without feeling wierd.
Naturally you have to be careful that obsession doesn't become negative, you can't let your hair rule your life. (I did that once it wasn't fun. See Link:) But provided your enjoying your hair there is little danger of an obsession becoming negative. Just be aware that others might not share your passion and might look at you a litle strange if you bring up the subject of conditioner when you are talking about football.
